Used Buick Skylark for Sale

I am reviewing a 1992 Buick Skylark that was purchased in cash new by my grandfather who later on when I turned 16 gave it to me as my first car. I am 21 now, and am still using he vehicle. For being as old as it is now, it has provided with a lot of good memories. It has taken me all around where I live, and up and down the west coast of the country a total of two times round trip. It has always been a comfortable car, with a relaxed feel to it, and an easy going ride. Unfortunately, it has also had its downsides. Over the past couple years I have had car problems that have ranged from overheating to completely shutting down on me when I have come to a stop. It is a pity, because I have really enjoyed the vehicle, but I can't blame it as any vehicle that old you would expect these problems to occur.

I bought this car while in college, and used it fairly frequently. It suited my needs of city and suburb driving very well. It was very easy to maintain, and the handling was very good. It was a heavy and little bit boxy, but for the price and low maintenance, I would easily recommend it to someone who needs a car for everyday usage. However, if you need a car for mountain driving, or driving long distances, this was not the ideal car. I bought mine used with ~80,000 miles on it, and was able to drive it many, many more miles with no difficulty - despite its old age. It was not sporty by any means, but the red interior was somewhat luxurious. Being a white car, the paint's aging stood out a bit more, and the A/C unit was so old that it couldn't be repaired (and replacing it was too high of a cost for me to consider), but the windows worked just fine for those hot days.

For the most part, the Buck Skylark is a dependable car. It's not a car with a hip or cool design, but it's a very practical vehicle. It's great for people who are tall - there is plenty of legroom in both the front and rear of the vehicle, and the front seats adjust to accommodate a wide variety of heights. The rear seat easily accommodates a car seat if you have young children, and the four door model makes it very easy to access that area. The trunk is quite roomy and deep, and holds more than one might expect. The gas mileage is decent, though nothing spectacular. The brake system seems to be a weak point on this vehicle - I've needed repairs numerous times. Otherwise, there didn't seem to be many systemic issues. Repair costs were not terribly high, and the mechanics never had issues acquiring the proper parts. It's got a good basic sound system and radio. Acceleration and braking are quick - it's got a surprising amount of pickup for a Buick. There are both passenger and driver airbags, and the rear seats have shoulder harness seatbelts on the two outer seats, so it feels like a very safe car.
