"Great looking car with good performance"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

At about 120000 miles my oxygen sensor stopped working which caused the car to stall for no apparent reason.

I had the alternator replaced for 2nd time in cars lifetime about 122000 miles.

The starter died at about 140000 miles.

Currently the car will not start when hot. You must wait for it to cool down to under 150 degrees before it will run.

My 6'8" husband is very uncomfortable driving the car!

General comments?

This car has great handling!

This car has great acceleration. I can beat most makes of cars off the stop line!

Perfect car for a new driver or even an experienced one with a family.

The exterior of the car is in great shape and it looks fabulous even after almost 13 years!

Four years ago, I owned a 1990 Buick Regal GS. At 135,000 miles, I had problems with the starter, engine stalling, rough idling, and the fuel injectors. Reliability, I rate this car pretty poorly. Styling is excellent though.

My buick regal 3.8 was doing really great for the last 3 years 185,000 miles now, but here recently I've replaced the camshaft sensor, oxygen sensor, throttle sensor put new plugs and wires on it still running rough, but you know its been like a family member and I'm going to get it fixed if it costs me all I got,,, lol.
