purchased my 1990 buick reatta in April 99 with 90,000 mi. on odometer. WIthin the 1st few years, lost hubcap covers, replaced gear shift knob & themometer, and engine control module. Drove it daily for the next few years, that's when things really got bad! For starters, both front headlamp motors burned out! Now the motors are replaceable, but you cannot find them for under $100.00 (A piece!) online. Temp control module went out, so warm air blew CONSTANTLY. (Summer, winter, spring, fall) couldn't turn it off, it was unresponsive. Driver's side window motor was shot. headlight's would not stay on when button was pushed. Had to keep button depressed with one hand in order for lights to stay on. Toggle switch for dim went out. replaced brakes & exhaust, and wife had had enough! Refused to allow me to sink another dollar into it. Finnaly sold it for $750.00. unique and rare cars if you can find them. (Especially in good condition) but beware! Parts are hard to come by, and it will begin to break down.
