*387k miles and still running perfect

1993 Buick Regal Gran Sport 4dr Sedan
My regal is currently at 287k miles, and closing in on 300k fast. This is hands down the most reliable car our family has owned.
Repairs over the last 14 years:
Alternator x2
Fuel pump
Rear struts
Brake pads/front rotors
Transmission cooler lines x2
Rear motor mount
Turn signal switch
And that's basically it, minus routine oil changes and minor tune ups. All repairs well under $250 … and most done by me to save.
The engine is perfect for this car. It's very quiet when you want it, and makes a pretty awesome growl when you drop the pedal. I've been 90 mph down the interstate and held a perfect straight line with plenty of power still on tap.
EDIT: 8-8-16
Yes I still have this car, and I still love it. It just ticked over to 378k miles, and I wrote my original review when it was at 278k. My plan is to update this review every 100k miles. I'm still on the original engine and transmission, neither of which have been rebuilt. I've had some repairs over the years, but nothing uncommon and bank breaking. I've not had a single break down in the past 100k miles. That's pretty darn good if you ask me. Don't let the dull "granny car" look get to you. These regals are unreal, and it baffles me how cheap you can get them for. The 3.8 engine is a beast, and if you find one, you won't be disappointed.
I'll update when I get to the next 100k. :)

1993 Buick Regal Limited 4dr Sedan
The interior is nearly flawless,
unusual for a car of this age and
milage. this car runs superbly and will
roast the front tires if it is required
to. This car gets 21-23 mpg in town and
29-33.8 on the highway at 75 mph. this
gets better milage and has tons more
power and has a much larger and more
comfortable interior than the geo prism
we had before it. my wife and I … both
think that this is the best car either
of us has owned This car is in good
with a
beautifull paint job in amazing shape
for its age. I would reccomend one of
these to anyone looking for a older
car, make sure that you get a 3800 v6.
V6 handles very well, very reliable

1992 Buick Regal Custom 4dr Sedan
I bought this about three and a half years ago with 80,000 mi. The body was in excellent condition for a car that was over 10 years old, no rust. It now has over 125,000 and still looks beautiful (despite the damage from a little run in with a deer). I've had to do very little routine maintenence outside oil changes (serpentine belt replacement, o-ring replacement, fuel pump, and … starter). Smooth ride on the highway, hasn't given me too many problems and surprisingly decent gas mileage.
Older, but don't want to give up motor

1992 Buick Regal Gran Sport 4dr Sedan
Purchaed in 2/1992 and have had to only replace water pump and turning signal box. I live in Texas so the heat has wrecked paint job, leather seats in front. Last 3 months though radiator sprung leak, power steering and some basic electrical (1 power window, sunroof off and on again. It doesn't look great, but afraid to get rid of it. I've left many cars in the dust with speed of … take-off (fast motor). Fuel injected if that makes a difference. Wish I knew if engine could be stabbed into another car. I would do that in a heartbeat. Oh year, when A/C worked it froze you out, even in 100+degrees. Love this car(and when I bought it I thought it was a granny car) No way.
