  1. Hello Jim, I bought my car a few weeks ago from an older gentleman selling it for an elderly lady so the diagnosis of leaking brakes was wrong. It turned out to only be the power steering cooler and I haven't seen any leaking anywhere else. I contacted Jim and he's sending me a replacement to take care of that. Although the car starts easily and doesn't stall, it runs rough. I gave it new plugs and leads so I know it's not spark and clearly it's getting gas since each cylinder fires so now I'm investigating a possible vacuum leak or possibly the TPS, any suggestions? Once that's solved I will need to bleed the brakes to firm up the pedal. Right now, the brakes work but are very weak. I was told the brakes were worked on recently including a new caliper but trust me, I will see to the brake lines. Otherwise, the car is in good shape, hardly any rust with good paint and very good interior with no rips or tears. Still trying to get my head around the self diagnosis software though.
  2. Thanks, Jim. Are there any particular issues I should be aware of and get parts for in advance? The one I have my eye on has 150000 miles and a leak in the braking system.
  3. Interested in buying a Buick Reatta and wondering if it would be a good investment. I'm noticing some ridiculous prices, both high and low. Any advice from any owners would be appreciated.!
  4. Hello! I'm new here and thinking of buying an '89 Reatta coupe with 150,000 miles. Although it looks very good (black/tan), I have no experience with this model and wondering about service at this age/mileage. What should I be looking for? Do I need to buy a parts car to keep from going broke? Thanks in advance!
