"Great car!"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

We had to replace most of the electronics that control the engine at a cost of near $1000.

Original exhaust is still working but needs replaced.

Air compressor for the air shocks is bad, but the shock rotted off years ago. Seal on cylinder broke and had to be replaced at 225,000 miles.

Air conditioner has never worked since we owned it.

General comments?

It handles good.

It has been very reliable with that many miles on it.

Seats are extremely comfortable.

Engine burns only a little of oil.

My 2nd car as a teen being a bad granny car. But the transmission had to be replaced, it would hang between 1st and 2nd.

Other than that runs like a dream, ac still freeze you out muffler replaced by a dual exhaust Flowmaster. The compressor still good replaced air shocks, to air bags that makes it ride more like a Caddillac.

I just bought my Buick or had it bought for me rather, since I totaled my Ford Explorer a little while back!

I love this car!

It's only got 59,00 miles on it and it's got Flowmasters on it! The mufflers didn't rot off but the womans' son who owned it decided to put Flows on it just to do it and it actually sounds good for a 3.8
