[quote=highlandlake]Hello Kaspy,

I forgot to mention to you a couple things on the last reply....you probably didn't get a lemon if you drove it 100 miles without any big issues. If you didn't have any shifting problems or power steering difficulties, you're doing about right. As for turning off the CEL, you have a few options. One is to buy a code reader (at any auto parts store) that has the capability to clear the codes too. ($100-$400) These are handy to do self-diagnosis and especially if you plan on keeping older cars for awhile. The second option is to go to a parts store that will check the codes for you. Ask around your area. I don't think they clear them for you - but they will tell you the basic problem. Third choice is to go to a repair shop or dealer and get it checked and serviced. Almost any shop is familiar with this engine and brake system. At this age, your car is likely due for several hundred $ in repairs, which are appropriate. Have the belt & hoses checked too.
After that you will probably get a lot of use in a reliable, comfortable GM car. These Buicks are pretty good.
