Ha, finally a car on RCR that I've owned. It's even the same color as mine was, although an earlier model of the same generation. Quite enjoyed that thing, I enjoyed keeping it unnecessarily pristine.

Oh wow, I just noticed that the owner even added the _same steering wheel cover_ that I had on mine as well. Makes sense as it fits the interior better than any other I found, and _anything_ was better than the thing blue wheel underneath that felt like absolute garbage after crumpling apart from years of use.

***** and the radio does? Sure, if you're going to get technical, the radio does put drag on the alternator. But if you're going to get that nitpicky, then using the heat (when it's cold outside) also adds drag due to the blower motor, and, the fact you're removing heat from the engine and lowering it's optimal temperature.

This was my first car. My 1991 had a 4 speed with over-drive and was pretty peppy, or at least I drove like it was. The 3.3L was a great engine, it was based on the 3.8L and was bullet proof. They had a rough idle and loved to shake and rumble. GM replaced it with the garbage 3.1L that was plagued with problems like Intake manifold gasket issues and head issues. The 3.3L was a great car to learn engines with. You could disconnect the fuel injectors from the top of the motor. Locating problematic cylinders was no problem. I remember I was trying to figure out which injector was going bad and was able to keep the motor running on 3 cylinders. I just sold the car recently after owning it for 10 years. It broke my heart to see it go, but it was too reliable to just sit there being unused. I sold it to a reformed meth-head for 400 dollars.

One of my long past ex girlfriends had a 91 or 93 Century. (I can't remember which year.) Same color. Seems that most of them are that light blue. Same faux wire wheel hubcaps. Ran like a champ. Drove beautifully. I loved the full taillight strip, but the one thing about it bothered me was at night, it seemed to be wider in the middle due to the 4 bulbs had to be spaced out to make room for the reverse lights. (As a Star Wars fan, it reminded me of Darth Mauls shuttle engine from Phantom Menace. So with that, I could live with the displaced section of 4 lights.) We also installed a set of those cheap "Blazer" brand halogen fog lights under the front bumper. Added a bit of 20% tint to the back and 50% to the front side windows. My favorite thing about the car was that clever little map light. That thing was always on when we went anywhere after dark. It was just so handy to be able to see the little plastic floor-console /cupholder /CD rack thingy she had on the hump with that light right there. That, and the nice back seat for when we got "lost" on some dark, back road somewhere.😉😏 Again that little map light giving just the right amount of soft illumination back there.. Good times... I sometimes miss them both. Her and her Century...

Love it. When I was young and broke and just needed something that would get me to work I had owned two of these, a '90 and a '91. I discovered that if these cars spent their life in the north that the brake lines would rust through and eventually blow under the pressure of heavy braking....and thus endeth the life of the first Century I had. A friend of mine knew a guy who was selling a '91 Century cheap, so I bought that one and used my wrecked '90 as a parts car, which worked well. I drove the '91 for awhile and also had a brake line blow due to rust on that car as well. Luckily I didn't wreck it when the brake line blew. Eventually I hit a curb pretty hard with the rear wheel and literally ripped the suspension off the unibody. And thus endeth the life of the second Century I had. I enjoyed how these cars rode, they felt like they were floating and you didn't feel the road at all.

We owned the Oldsmobile wagon version of this car (Olds Ciera). It was a '92, and in 2000 I bought it for $4k at a Nissan dealer (it had been traded in on a new minivan) as a one owner used car with only 42k miles on it. It had been pampered and was like a new car inside and out. It was a well equipped example, with power everything and the optional 3.3 V-6 engine. I liked everything about it including the color, Maple Red Metallic (red with gold metalflake). We bought it as a second car but ended up taking it on a couple of vacations because it did everything well and never needed anything but normal upkeep. We owned it for five years and 30k miles and sold it for what we originally paid for it. I still regret selling it. My sons (now in their 20s) remember that car fondly and the folding, rear facing third seat. One of them likes Buicks from that era for some reason and has owned a couple. The bigger and cushier the better.

I drive a 1990 Century Custom in the same light blue tone and similar mileage (got it with 46000 original kilometers). I got it from a very nice 98 years old Croatian lady who bought it brand new and barely drove the car for the last 26 years,It was still sitting on the original white wall tires. Two days before I went to pick It up the car at her place she gave me a call saying that she was having a hard time to start the car and she wasn't going to sell me a lemon. She spent around 65% of what I paid for It on new spark plugs,injectors and a battery.Got a new tire set and flushed all the fluids and this car has been an excellent ride. The only critic I have is the awful paintwork that peels off,I've seen a bunch of GM cars with this issue,specially white ones.

GM and Chrysler used a new kind of primer in the late 80's-90's that caused that.

True story, unbeknownst to the family, I had bought my grandmother's '95 Olds Ciera (same car basically) and got it road worthy just in time for her funeral. Nobody in our family had seen the car in about 4 years, and it's suddenly in the parking lot at the funeral home. Very interesting day. The car made me smile and think of her every time I drove it. While I parted with it, I now have a '96 Ciera wagon and a '93 Century sedan. Both are way nicer than hers was from use and abuse. Well made reliable cars. If I want excitement, I have a race car.

My uncle had an early 80's one of these and I remember that the rear windows were of a fixed type that had no mechanisms to roll them down! Apparently this was some cost savings thing that GM did. With vinyl seats, no A/C and no rear windows -- it was a torture chamber for summers in Boston!

As an Aussie, I have to pay homage. We lifted the 3.8 version of the engine from this, turned it 90° to send power to the rear, and put it in the Commodore for a decade and a half, and enjoyed the reliability, ease of repair, and torque. I still drive a 2001 Holden ute, with it, and I love it.

My grandmother had a 1989 Buick Century Custom that looked exactly like this one and my mother had the 1990 in Gunsmoke Silver and they both were great cars that lasted 300,000 miles before dying. Their major drawback is the driver's door hinge pins wear quickly and the door sags where you have to lift it up to close it and the power window Motors on the driver's door wear out quickly as well but other than that it's a smooth riding car with great handling and you hardly feel bumps and pot holes on the road.
