Need help to choose Regal for my sister

[heuchareta1980]

Hi

Long story short is my sister is looking for Turbo Regal and she ask me for some help to make a right choice , I want to ask you guys what the common issues you have on it and what to look at when we will be driving to check it out. I found some deals that i want to share but left those links at home so I will pass them later on.

Probably should find out what her goal of owning one is. Daily driver, race car, project? Everybody i think is different on why they want one but what i looked for the most was getting one as close to factory as possible with no or little rust.

Whatever her budget is double it.

Pronto's suggestion, and 1 more "budget" in escrow, to buy parts with.
A prime consideration: Either you, your sister, or a well know TR person, should be available/knowledgeable for help w/ repairs.

I see you are a new member. I would talk her out of a Turbobuick and into something else. There is a real nice 1980 Regal in the cars for sales section.

I wouldn't discourage her from a TB but she and/or you need to find a local TB guru that can help you find a stock or nearly stock TB. Educate yourselves about the car and be prepared to deal with it's finicky nature.

She is not racing person but she likes to be unique, so what i found is this one http://www.autozin.com/for-sale/1980-buick-regal its 1980 for $8k looks like good condition, so what i am going to do now is to arrange viewing and see if its really is
