Used 2002 Buick Century Consumer Reviews
what a piece of crap!! Do not buy!!
I bought my 2002 Buick Centry as a program car in 2003 with about 13,000 miles on it. Within weeks it was in the repair shop. Repairs over time include motor mounts & king mounts replacement (there is still a "clicking" when braking, it was never fixed), complete dash replacment ( a year later, the odometer quit working again). The automatic windows roll down by themselves and do not roll back up. Anti lock brakes quit working with in a year of buying. Fuel pump replacement, brakes replacement. I take good car of my cars and do oil changes every 3,000 miles, tune ups, radiator flush,etc.
200,000+ and still going
This car has been a really reliable one. Have had it 8 years and now has over 200,000 on it. The care is just now giving me trouble. The intake gasket has broken, a transmission valve had to be replace, the dashboard odometer has to be replaced, as well as the selector switch for the heat/ac. Most everything else has ran well. My driver's side window switch has a short in it, but I won't spend the money for the whole panel, when I know it needs only a new switch.

still running strong at 114K
I wrote a review when the car had 30K and nothing has really changed as I approach 115K. I had the intake manifold gasket changed as a precaution (the 3.1 is known to leak). I had new struts installed at approximately 85K (NYC is tough on a car). This might be the best car I've ever owned and I see no problem hitting 200K.
Century
This was my company car for a while. I put a lot of miles on her. I was very impressed with the century. I would buy one in a skinny minute.
I love my Buick Century!
This is my second Century (car, not my age!) becaue I found it to be the most comfortable road car I had ever owned. It is the right size, efficient, a great value. I like to say, when I am on my frequent long business trips, "it drives itself!" First I buy a driver's seat, then a car around it - this is it!
