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.
Love my Ride! 4old school.!

1990 Buick Regal Custom 2dr Coupe
the car handles good in turns it accelerates with power even though my car is 26 yrs old..a classic,lol! I am a single mother of 1 18 yr old daughter and it hasn't failed us yet! Transmission is still good .Tires are a great size for a smooth ride.The space for your legs is big so its very comfortable.it has been well maintained buy previous owner,it was from Oregon and little rust. So … it has held up great ,now it is an AZ car and we have good AC. .keeps us cool in 130 dg..! The car is good for hwy mls like 26-30 mls per hr.! v6.(3.1) engine cruise control works good. brake are good no aps but it holds the car back with no problems.I would recommend it to my friends or anyone wanting a great smooth dependable ride.I put in modern AC, and some moter mounts one front shock,other than regular oil changes.its just the way I bought it 1 yr ago. Thanks Leah!

1990 Buick Regal Custom 2dr Coupe
i bought the car with 162,000 miles. Ran great the whole time,only had a tune up done. I traded it to my father which is extremely rough on cars and it ran 15000 miles with his abuse. Later on he ran it out of transmission fluid and burnt the transmission up...but it still drove..trans needed a rebuild at 178,000..due to no transmission fliud

1990 Buick Regal Limited 2dr Coupe
The best feature of my 1990 buick regal
limited is the interior design. I'm a
tall driver (6'3"), and this car was
designed with drivers like myself in
mind. The rear seat has been shortened
to provide extended legroom for rear
passengers (unlike the cougar or
thunderbird). Comfort is the word to
describe the feeling of driving this
car.
