Hey Guys, I just purchased my 3rd Buick (most likely my 6th Buick in my lifetime), and of course it comes with engine problems which is why I'm here. To solve these issues and learn more about the car.
My other cars are/were:
-Currently own-
-1983 Buick Regal T-Type...2-tone black(on top)/Silver(on the bottom)Lear Siegler Seats, T-Tops, last year of the Turbo 3.8 carbureated cars.
-1988 Buick LeSabre T-Type...Black w/ Black Leather interior, Flowmaster single in, dual-out exhaust ('80'* Camaro style).
-1995 Buick Riviera...Supercharged 3.8 V6, light blue with dark blue interior.
-Previously Owned-
-1983 Chevy *-10 single cab, extended bed 2.8 V6 (totaled)
-1982 Chevy *-10 single cab, extended bed 2.8 V6 (blown motor, never fixed)
-1985 GMC Jimmy, 2.5 4-cylinder w/4WD (Blew head gasket, hated the motor)
-1986 Buick Electra 220, 3.8 V6 red w/ white pinstripe, white Landau top and wire hubcaps, red plush interior. (Blew the tranny 6 times, traded it in)
-1987 Buick LeSabre T-Type, Maroon winter car (sold, car was parted out)
-1989 Buick LeSabre T-Type, Maroon (parts car for the '8
-1988 Chevy Camaro RS, 2.8 V6 (motor was dying, tranny lost 2nd, gave it away)
-1997 Chevy Cavalier Z24, 2.4 Twin Cam Quad 4. (Totaled)
-1999 Chevy Cavalier Z24, 2.4 Twin Cam Quad 4. (Donated to Charity. BEST car I've ever owned! Bought it with 21,000 miles and donated with 249,000.)
I'm a GM guy with a love for Buicks! (and a soft spot for '95-'99 Cavalier Z24'*)
