"Best car that I have ever owned... bar none"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

When purchased, the engine had a leak in the front seal behind the distributor and water pump.

Cost $340 to replace seals at local Buick dealer. Had my personal mechanic work on the car prior to the Buick dealer, and he was unable to stop oil leak. That exercise in futility cost $289.

One of the wires in the cluster on the firewall shorted out. Car towed to dealer. Located bad wire and repaired it...$123.

Brakes got spongy feeling at 93500 miles.. dealer lubricated brake area and adjusted brakes to firm up properly. $82 for the repair.

General comments?

This is the eight passenger Roadmaster Estate Wagon... leather interior and with all the bells and whistles. Car in wonderful shape. Fast as a bullet.

Highway mileage amazing...25-29 mpg on highway on cruise control setting. Not so hot around town...15-18.

All the electronics work on the car. A/C is a delightful COLD blowing unit.

Vin Report showed that the car has not ever been part of any recall. Report shows car was owned by two previous owners. Had immaculate care.

Car very comfortable. Handles well and has Gran Touring Suspension package. Holds road well.

Motor and transmission operate flawlessly.

Any idea why my 1994 wagon only gets 12 miles/gal mixed? (i.e. 70% in town, 30 on hwy?)

Thank you.

Pavel.

I get about that in my 95 sedan with mostly city driving.
