Exhaust pipe worn out at 100,000 miles (rust)

General Comments:

This car is a GREAT investment. Not a chick magnet, but is comfortable and reliable. Engine is strong. Not a gas guzzler. This car is DIRT cheap and easy to maintain. Only bad side is this car loves Rust. For a car over 15 years old and I paid $1400 cash better than taking a bus. P.S. the stereo system is pretty good for a cheap car like this.

It's a 15 year old car, not many miles on it, so why are you complaining about it? Expect things to break apart or wear apart, if the vehicle isn't driven much, or a lot.

I've pretty well had same problems, plus more on my 91 LeSabre. Its normal, and all cars go through it before they reach the end of their life..

1991 Buick Century Custom 3.3 V6 from North America

Summary:

Engineering Marvel, my hat's off to Buick

Faults:

Air conditioning compressor at 146000 miles.

General Comments:

Diamond in the rough. My friend was going to junk the car, he thought the engine was seized. It was such a nice car, I bought it for $50 and worked on it myself. It turned out the compressor was seized and I had the car running for another $50.

Beautiful car, strong running 3.3 V6 even with 164,000 miles. Doesn't burn a drop of oil and has awesome acceleration when needed. It feels much sportier than a 4dr sedan.

Wouldn't sell the car for $2500.

1991 Buick Century Custom 3.3 V6 from North America

Summary:

Excellent

Faults:

Idler pulley went out at 150,000 miles.

Alternator at 200,000 miles.

Fuel injectors at 175,000.

General Comments:

This car is awesome. Very little work required to keep operating. The engine is very good and reliable. I would still be driving this car, but it was involved in accidents. The first the rear quarter panel was damaged, then the rear right side, and the final was the front right side. The final accident severely damaged the car and the frame. Although the engine was almost sideways, it still started and ran as always. It really did better in all of its accidents then the other vehicles. The vehicles that was involved with were: a ford explorer, mercury cougar and a Chevy cavalier. I really do miss this car. This 3.3 v6 is a lot better of an engine then the 3.1 v6 in my new car. These century's are virtually indestructible and last forever and ever.
