1990 Buick Regal Custom 2dr Coupe
This was one of the best cars I've ever
owned. It had a really cool interior
and dash and was very reliable. Never
touched anything for 100k miles, and
thaey were minor.

1991 Buick Regal Limited 4dr Sedan
This is a "man's car" in that it is very powerful and appeals to those who like to work on their own.
I purchased it in 2003 with 112,000 miles and have gone to 175,000 with numerous long distance trips to Cleveland, Jamestown (W. NY), Boston, and Beaufort, SC.
Repairs:
fuel pump, motor mounts, struts, rear calipers, ign coils, brake hoses, two window motors, wheel bearing, altenator, … turn signal/stop light control unit, and several motor mounts.
The cost of inspections, maintenance, and repairs has come to $.16/mile over 10 years.
The vehicle only cost $1,200 and was not well cared for before I purchased it.
Best Car I Will Have Ever Owned
5 out of 5 starsJohn, 03/03/2009
1991 Buick Regal Limited 4dr Sedan
I bought the car without really knowing what I was getting. The features were attractive, especially exterior along with the radio controls on the steering wheel, express drivers side windows, comfortable cloth seats, lots of interior space and a large trunk, wire wheel covers, electric remote trunk release, electric retractable antenna, and more. But, what I really came to appreciate, … and has been the heart of this car, has been a 3800 V6 Engine w/ TPI. After 265,000 miles I am still happy with the gas mileage, although a broken gasket on the central port just recently was replaced to hopefully return the mileage to 17/27. I laugh at drivers who don't enjoy driving in snow like I do.
