  97 Candy - 1997 Buick Skylark
  By Michele - November 24 - 6:17 pm

  I was recently involved in a pretty serious car accident in my 2009 compact car which was a total loss. My insurance co gave me a good replacement check but financially I cant get involved in another car payment. So my Father saw this Buick Skylark Limited Edition for sale for under 4100.00 (not including taxes and fees of course) with only 64,000 + miles. We went to look at it and it was apparent the other owners took very good care of this car. Mechanically and otherwise. The minuet I sat in the drivers seat I was hooked and knew this was my new honey. The acceleration is fantastic, the ride is smooth, the tape deck still works and there is absolutely nothing mechanically wrong with this car. I get great gas mileage. I drive over 100 miles a day and only need to fill the tank once a week (if I can keep my foot out of the petal). I have only had her a few weeks but I do notice the power windows are a little slow and the seat belts are not the greatest design. But as far as feeling safe I am very happy with this car. My parents always owned Buicks when I was a child so I feel as if I am driving a piece of my childhood history and I just love that nostalgic feeling. This car ROCKS!

  I have found this car needs very little maintenance and is made of great quality. Very reliable! The gas mileage is unbelievable for an older car.

  It Never Dies - 1996 Buick Skylark
  By Mr Blah Blah - February 14 - 3:25 pm

  I purchased this car from my father-in- law who put 112,000 miles on it. I have a 76 mile round-trip commute to work and go through about a tank of gas a week. I can get close to 400 miles off of one tank. Had a not-so-easy-to-find electrical problem with it, but once that was ironed out, no other problems. I now have 150,000 miles on it and love it. One of the most dependable cars I have ever owned.

  Great fuel economy. Very fun to drive. Mine has a 2.4l twin cam. Very fast, it beat my friends 14,9 sec. focus with just an intake and muffler. Love it

  Little Car That Could - 1991 Buick Skylark
  By JROCK - August 1 - 3:06 pm

  I have owned my Skylark for 7 years and it has never disappointed me. I have over 186000 miles on it and it runs great and doest use oil. It starts in the winter when it is 20 below and it gets about 28.5 mpg. While the body is showing its age it is still mechanically very sound and reliable. A perfect work car.

  Solid - 1991 Buick Skylark
  By funk53daba - June 6 - 6:14 pm

  I love my Skylark. Let me re-phrase. Im in love with my Skylark. My dad purchased with ~70K back in late 90s and he was 2nd owner. Its been with me and mine thru college and beyond with no signs of slowing down. I now have 176K. Everything (its almost 20 yrs old folks) everything...works. The GM paint back then was crap. The outside looks as if the car has lepresy, but I think it gives it character. The main point is this thing is solid where it counts. Only time Ive had components break is out of sheer exhaustion, and I cant be mad at the ol girl because I think to myself, "That should have broken 20K ago." If youre lucky enough to land a good one itll repay you tenfold.

  Great First Car - 1990 Buick Skylark
  By andrew - January 10 - 7:05 pm

  Bought the car for 500 in 05, had 140k miles on it at the time. Great first car, had its problems here and there but nothing serious enough to ever leave me stranded, most reliable car ever owned, hit 175k on the odometer last month and seemed like it would have lasted the test of time if i hadnt been hit by someone, the tranny and engine worked splendid, the exterior had taken some damage over the long life she had but besides that the 3.3l V-6 ran fast and true and never gave me a bit of trouble, most expensive replace was probably belts and water pump, if you take car of this car it will last a life time,

  Love my car - 1994 Buick Skylark
  By Monika Wilson - November 22 - 2:37 pm

  I have only had this car for a few months but I have to say that I love it. I have had a problem with the driver side window but that I can live with. I bought this car from a private owner that took great care of it. So far it has been dependable and a joy to drive. No complaints.
