Aaron Posted October 14, 2009 Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 My brother is going to look at one tomorrow. 93 Regal Gran Sport. 150k miles, and in good shape. Has the 3.8 Series 1 engine 170hp 225tq. Give me the low down guys. Is the series 1 as reliable as the 2? Are they solid cars? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Removed Posted October 14, 2009 Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 not as good imo but still a solid car other then the trans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buck531 Posted October 14, 2009 Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 It's a solid car. We had a 95 Regal Custom with a 3.8 and it went 199.7k miles and was still running strong. The trans was starting to go out but it ran like a tank. How much are they asking for it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crossle Posted October 14, 2009 Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 Stout motor, pretty good cars. They like to eat the coil packs, but they are easy to fix. Check that rust underneath especially the brake lines! Had a slew of ultra low mileage older Buicks with terrible under bodies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaron Posted October 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 What happened to the continental? I assumed you bought something. I sent you a PM letting you know what happened with that long ago. I called the dealer (John Hinderer Honda) this morning to see if they had it still (93 regal). I was told they did, so we drove 45 minutes to see/buy it. Get there and they say they sold it on ebay a few days ago. I was pissed. We had a 98 Regal all lined up to buy, we went to see it Tuesday (a week or two ago), told the guy we wanted it and that we had the inspection scheduled for Thursday. He was cool with that. Guy sold it Wednesday. What a douche. He is having shitty luck lately. If anyone knows of a good solid bigger style car for 1500, please send it my way. Thanks.

I hadnt heard anything since then. I am in partial either way. Its still availble if your interested. I reminded him about the Conti just now and he said he wasn't in love with them and wanted to keep looking. He will keep it in mind though. Thanks again for all of your help.
