1989 Buick Regal limited from North America - Comments

In one month of buying it the head gaskets blew and breaks and rotars needed changing

my fault I pushed the car to its top speed 125 mph never do that. needed a new water pump seal and bearings break and fuel lines. I've blown up 2 catylitic converters with this car also myfault I made the exhaust to open it lost backpreasure and backfired, and it does not like to start wen its really cold I have to buy dry gas once a week or its not going anywhere also I thing it needs a new egr valve.

The car is immaculate for its year 1989. on the street I have yet to see a 89 regal that is in better condition than mine all the ones I've seen are rusted from winter road salt. this one has no dings no dents and no body rust AT ALL it's a buffalo car and for how old it is that's unheard of granted I've put more money into it that I payed for it ($2900) the car is a beast, its torch is awsome in low gears even with 4 people in the car I can chirp the tires and the acceleration is still respectable. the v6 in its puts out about 160 hp not bad plus I've modified the intake and exhaust so its prolly at 170 hp right now.not the fastest car on earth, but its pretty quick and responsive and the OHV v6 sounds nice with a decent muffler on the exhaust.

I never would have known that these cars would go 125 m.p.h.

This car would have likely avoided the breakdowns if driven as a family sedan as designed its not a sports car.

Yes, I am commenting on my own review. Yes, I know it's not a sports car, and it's a 2 door coupe, not a sedan (in 89 the Limited only came in 2 doors).

I hit the 125mph because I actually hated the car and wanted to break it, but it grew on me.

Also, the car only has 35,000 miles on it, so I can drive it how I want. All the $ I've put into it has been for restoration (yeah it's a bad car to restore, I know that). I'm turning it into a low riding cruiser, not a street racer.

I had my 89 Buick regal up to 111 mph and nothing happened, but I am glad that didn't push it anymore. My 1989 regal has 260k miles on it and the ONLY reason you can hear it running is because it has a loose belt which I plan on fixing over the weekend. I recently replaced the struts... which were...factory. The mechanic poured about a gallon of water out of my right-rear strut. It has a good durable engine and I sometimes can't even feel the transmission changing gears. I love the sun roof. The only thing I hate about it is that it STILL has the factory radio... speakers and all. The radio cuts in and out all the time and sometimes I just end up taking the fuse out. I can't believe all the stuff on this car that appears to be factory and is still in good condition...except the radio. The power steering pump was whinning a little, but some lucus power steering additive took care of it. I only have one question... why will the regal register a 1-199,999 miles...but when it hits 200,000...it goes back to 0? I know that this car will see 350,000 miles. Right now, it needs a temperature sensor switch...which is nothing.
