1995 Buick Skylark User Reviews

Very, Very Average Buick — My wife fell in love with this car on the dealer showroom floor. The color was an aqua-blue-green and the interior was very plush and comfortable. Plus it rode like a Buick, which was important to her. We would have kept this car much longer then the 5 years we had it except it was damaged in an accident and was never quite right afterward.

Good Value — The Skylark is a nice looking sedan. I've owned it since 08, purchased for $1600 including title and transfer. Had one issue with vacuum lines needing replacement, bolts broke on sway bar a few years back, had bearing issues on front wheels and had to replace calipers on front brakes, and issues with driver side window getting stuck. I've been driving this car for 4 years now, and and including purchase price, tax, title and repairs have about $2600 excluding tires and regular maintenance. Also excludes deck lid and door replacement due to damage from being hit. This ride is still going strong. It has had issues with ABS twice, I don't know if it's an issue on the model, or just my car. Two years ago, I took door panels off, expecting I'd be replacing the motors, however I found a little cleaning and lubricant got the wimdows moving again. After breaking a window last winter, est. more than 350 to replace window, motor, etc. Found $40 door at pull apart and replaced door instead.

Miss The Green Monster — The car was excellent mechanically, looked like new back in 2001. 90,000 miles and few fender benders later looks as you see here. Build quality problems was on the inside, it leaked water when it rains, therefore excellent moisture in the car, had to replace the busted drivers seat. Fog in summer, frozen ice inside the car. It was a fun car to drive with its 3.1 V6, used to peel out of parking lots when angry lol! It also hood pins installed since the hood rusted across the front, gave me lips when driven on the highway. Its nick name is the Green Monster for 2 reasons, looks hideous, crasy driver lol!

It Died. — it wasnt fast (built for grandma), small backseat, dash is odd shaped and not favorable for anyone over 5' 5" to drive, and it is over ten years old, so i wouldnt reccomend it to anyone at this point....
