Really, no, i was just using my latest example. The 97 Park Avenue, bought brand new, one owner. Supposedly the premiere Buick with the "bullet proof" 3.8
I have also owned:
90 Z28 (Piece of Shit)
88 Lesabre (pretty good car)
82 Regal (poor car, but it was a bad era for cars)
77 Monte Carlo (great car!!)
70 Delta 88 with 455 Rocket. Inherited this little gem with 18,000 miles on it (great car)
82 Chevy Citation (not the most reliable, but cheap and easy to fix yourself
80 Pheonix (1980 motor trend car of the year, but had more bugs in it than the fish house at the cottage)
So you see, you shouldn't be so quick to jump to uninformed conclusions.
My parents owned:
64 Pontiac Strato Chief
67 Impala
73 Olds 88
80 Grand Prix
85 Riviera
97 Grand Prix.
So, i have been around GM's all my life. I have also owned a ford ranger (97), and my 75 Triumph TR6 (still own it, it's my "reliable car")
GM engineer the worst cars on the road right now in my humble opinion.
The problems I listed with my park Avenue are all very real, including the death of the engine by poor design.
My wife on the otherhand owns a 98 Camry with 228,000 km on it and it has had a new radiator put in it and a tune up, and some brake pads. That's about it.
