What Owners are Saying About the 1996 Buick Regal
"Best car EVER"
"This car is a BEAST! It has been thru things most cars could only imagine. I have drove this car for about 80,000 miles from Florida to virginia and everywhere in between. It has been thru mud, snow, hurricanes, you name it. I bought this car for $300 dollars and it has paid for itself several times over."
"Good running car"
"It has around 120000 miles on it and only thing it needs is a new battery and brakes"
"Great Car"
"I have owned this vehicle for 12 years. It has served me well, with fairly few problems. The ride is very comfortable, & it certainly has the power should you want to engage in a bit of aggressive driving. On the down side, the brakes on my car were a bit soft, and I do not like the location of the battery (hidden under the windshield washer fluid.) Unfortunately, I just totaled it today, when I spun out after hitting an unexpected patch of slush, although I found out that it absorbs impact quite well. I hit the guard rail at about 65 mph during the spin, and am essentially unscathed with some minor whiplash. Overall I have had a great experience with this car and will miss it."
