Used Buick Somerset for Sale near Santa Clarita, CA

The 1985 Buick Somerset Regal was the Pontiac Grand Am, just much more highly polished. I owned 2 versions, the 3.0L V6 with 4 speed automatic, as well as the 2.5L Tech Four, connected to a rare 5-speed stick. The V6 suffered from a persistent issue with the crankshaft position sensor, which caused significant "no start" issues. When it ran, it was FAST. It screamed down the road like a car that size shouldn't have been able to. I easily achieved 140 in this car after a tune-up using splitfire plugs, and accel wires. The 2.5 was incredible for a 4-cylinder. When a new EGR valve, new plugs, wire, and a new throttle position sensor, I was getting 37 MPG in this car, and beating most Hondas off the line. The body squeaks, the the incredibly badly designed radio system, as well as the headliner falling, marred what could have otherwise been a very fun car to drive.

great heater, pain in the ass trying to find 13 inch rim tires, not very good acceleration, fairly cheap to maintain, gas mileage wasn't the best but it got around good, cut off the muffler and put on a glass pack and it'll sound like any dirt track racer you'd find

One of the most reliable cars I ever owned. The only thing I ever replaced was a $45 sensor. With exception of the first 40 below temp day, it started and ran great everytime.
