General Comments:
I would have to say that the car at least looked nice. (On the outside).
The performance of the car was horrible. It had no power at all.Well, maybe more than a Geo Metro. :)
The car had been wrecked and fixed, and repainted before I bought it.
I don't think that I would ever buy another Buick.

I would recommend you get a Buick Regal with low miles.
My 1987 Buick Regal is super reliable. It is a joy to drive.
It's a V8 and I love it. What you bought was too old.
An 87 with low miles in great shape is sweet.
