1990 Buick Century Custom 4dr Wagon
This car has it all. Wood paneling design, classic tape deck/radio, cup holder arm rest, reverse seat in the back, spoiler, ski/luggage rack on top, power everything. Unbelievably reliable, nothing beyond basic maintenance for a 17 year old car (oil changes, just got new tires, occasionally topping off the fluids). Couldn't ask for more

1990 Buick Century Custom 4dr Sedan
I now have 256,000+ miles on my
Century. It still has the original
engine/transmission. This car is very
solid and dependable.The last trip I
made I got 30.2 MPG. I get about 20-22
around town. Change the oil regularly
too. A Buick dealer could not believe
the mileage on the car and that this
was the original engine. I told him
that that is exactly what is wrong
with … the American attitude- as he was
shocked that the car could last so
long, and be in the shape that it
is.Would he be shocked if it was a
Honda, BMW, etc? Probably not.It looks
like a fairly old car, but the body
integrity is solid, with no dings,
dents. All in all a wonderful car.
320K miles & STILL purring like a kitten

1990 Buick Century Custom 4dr Wagon
I purchased the car as a high school
student in 1994 with 120K miles on it.
It now has a whopping 320,000 miles on
it (equivalent to driving to the moon
and half way back) and I can't sing
it's praises enough. The only major
mechanical problem - I had to replace
the transmission at 275K miles but
that's it. I call it my wonder wagon,
and I'm hoping to hit 400,000 … miles!
