Just got this car as a hand me down with 75k miles. It was left sitting in the sun with the window down for 2-3 years. Now it’s my job to renovate it and get it looking and feeling like new. Perfect project car. It runs well, it’s just the aesthetics and small components I gotta fix.
@@fordmustang98guy Just bought it this week has 89000 very good shape in and out. It had new AC compressor,drier, and new water pump belt and those plastic elbows replace with metal ones. Tires and brakes are very good. Hope all goes well, I heard this is bullet proof power plant.
Putting some tint on the back window and passengers windows makes a world of difference. Boy does the sun get hot on you without it. Besides a good tint job is pretty darn cheap. It helps protect the interior and reduces the heat from the sun. Did the right away to my 2001 Regal LS.
This was my first car, the transmission and ECM slowly died for about a span of 6 moths and she finally was laid to rest a month ago. Can' t beat that GM 3.8
Bro my LS is different than yours mine is like the simple LS and yours has more stuff like the sunroof and seat heaters drag switch what model is yours ???
blank stares thanks yea unfortunately interior parts on these Century’s & Regal’s are discontinued you cannot get them at the dealership anymore you’re best bet is to find a good used part in the scrap yard
Awesome Mark, my friend has a black 99 Buick Regal and I am gonna do a video on it. My grandpa still has his maroon red 92 Buick Regal and it still runs great
I want to thank you 🙏 Mark for making this video. You are a beautiful human being because in this video you see the glass full with this beauty and not many reviewers do that. People love to complain I think 🤔 some people would complain about breathing too. This is the best review I’ve ever seen on any car I mean that you explain everything about this beautiful Buick Regal LS I’m going tomorrow to take a look at one ☝️ wish me luck all. 😎👍💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯🚘
Cell Jinx How long have you had your 2001 Malibu? Have you had any engine issues such as the intake gasket because the 3100 motor have those common issues
I have a 2002 Buick Regal supercharged I was wondering if you can let me know how to turn off those two little Amber lights on the car because everytime I turn off my car those lights stay on and they kill my battery those two little lights where the emergency lights blink at
Oh and another thing to look for on your engine are the coolant elbows. From the factory they were made of plastic. If you still have the original elbows, they’ll be on their way out soon lol. I’d suggest replacing them with The aluminum elbows
BrendenAerosmith Farr I’ve had the lower intake gasket done Valve cover too also new thermostat I think the coolant elbows got replaced too when I had it maintained when I first got the car almost 3 years ago
@@fordmustang98guy I just bought a 2002 Buick Regal Joseph Abboued edition. With only 22,000 original miles. A paid i bit more then I wanted to but it's a one owner garage kept car so I thinks it was worth it .
That is because the black key with the chip on it is the Ignition Key & the silver key opens the door manually & opens the trunk manually if the remote does not work
Dino Manta I would definitely recommend buying one but I would buy one that has no rust low mileage is definitely a bonus and the problem with these cars is the transmission just don’t drive it too hard luckily I’ve never had problems with mine but the original starter motor gave out on me a year ago & I had to change the starter I changed it twice already Last year got a new starter put in and this time I had to replace the starter again because it started grinding on me I would definitely recommend a 1997 to 2004 Buick Regal Just try and find one that’s in mint condition low mileage if that’s a bonus and it was well-maintained a lot of these Buick’s like mine not too many on the road especially here in Canada 🇨🇦 I’ve seen a couple of them in the junkyard worse shape than mine
It's definitely better than buying a Japanese import. Although their made good quality, young people nowadays tend to go hard on the gaz pedal. What's your opinion on a Regal 2010/11?
Deer John these are definitely great cars to drive every day I do recommend a 97-04 Buick Regal as a good daily driver but only common issues is that the ignition switch can go bad lower intake gasket is a common issue and the valve cover power steering pump has a slight whine which is normal on these 3800 motors I would recommend these type of Buick’s like mine but my advice is try to find one that has little to no rust & low mileage & if it had one owner that is a bonus
Hey mark I’m a big fan of your channel I just wanna say that your Buick Regal is beautiful it looks like new and I love the burgundy color I love gm vehicles especially Buick I love your videos that 3800 will get you through for a while
They separate the look from Buick’s lineup the front bumper in the middle looks like the beak of a bird for aerodynamics the column shifter the front don’t go down the shifter goes in a 90-degree angle like your grandma’s 2000 Century Custom it don’t have a tachometer
Beautiful car but the 1998-2004 regals were riddled with electrical problems. Years ago, i wanted one badly, but every single one i saw had an issue. From stuck moonroof to empty master cylinder to non working climate controls. Also, knew someone whos 1999 caught on fire.

Is your Regal a 2002?
@@fordmustang98guy yes. 2002 Regal ls. Same color as yours, except the paint is damaged and needs work.
@@gdehoyos006 yours is also Maroon Bordeaux Red Pearl what is the difference with my Regal?
Good morning @@fordmustang98guy
I have a 2004 , love it😊
That’s awesome 😎 how long have you had your 2004 Buick Regal?

@@jeffreybaba4155 you’ve never had any transmission issues with your Regal? Bad thing about these cars is the transmission they feel weak

I did get my windows tinted
Thank you for this. Just picked one up 80k miles clean $1800. Perfect daily driver!! This helped a lot
Spencer Harper what year is your Regal?
This was my first car, the transmission and ECM slowly died for about a span of 6 moths and she finally was laid to rest a month ago. Can' t beat that GM 3.8
You had a 2002 Buick Regal?
Most comfortable car I've ever had. 7 years later, I'm still comparing new cars to it. It's crazy lol
Do you own a Regal similar to mine?
Bro my LS is different than yours mine is like the simple LS and yours has more stuff like the sunroof and seat heaters drag switch what model is yours ???
replacement cupholder installed. cool. nice job

great video man i love older GM cars
I honestly miss Old GM now all of these 2018 GM cars are complete garbage
yep facts lol
Mark from [fordmustang98guy] exactly man
@@fordmustang98guy lol NO
In Australia and New Zealand there are plenrty of 3800 GM cousins of these older cars getting around called Holden Commodores with rear wheel drive.
Nice Mark
Awesome Mark, my friend has a black 99 Buick Regal and I am gonna do a video on it.
My grandpa still has his maroon red 92 Buick Regal and it still runs great
Ean GS Yerbic how long has your friend had his 99 Regal?
+Mark from [fordmustang98guy] I think 4 years, I uploaded his 99 Regal on my channel, take a look at it
Mine still runs like a champ also. Gr8 cars very underrated

I must say I am not a fan of the chime, but it's amazing that this car still has low mileage!
Nice I have a 2001 chevy mailbu and it has the 3.1l v6 and it has 200356miles on it, still running strong
Cell Jinx How long have you had your 2001 Malibu? Have you had any engine issues such as the intake gasket because the 3100 motor have those common issues
No I haven't had that problem at all while owning it
I have a 2002 Buick Regal supercharged I was wondering if you can let me know how to turn off those two little Amber lights on the car because everytime I turn off my car those lights stay on and they kill my battery those two little lights where the emergency lights blink at
Could you do a video of your Regal & show me what are you talking about
You can rev up the engine from under the hood. All 3800 series 2 use throttle cables. The series 3 went to electronic throttle
BrendenAerosmith Farr I know lol I like revving it under the hood
BrendenAerosmith Farr I like the 3800 motors their strong 💪
Mark from [fordmustang98guy] oh yes they are. They are one of the best engines GM ever produced. It’s powerful, good in gas, and it’s easy to work on
Oh and another thing to look for on your engine are the coolant elbows. From the factory they were made of plastic. If you still have the original elbows, they’ll be on their way out soon lol. I’d suggest replacing them with The aluminum elbows

What a sleeper
I truly love that car, where can I buy one like that there?
What are you trying to say to me? You looking to buy a Buick Regal which is similar to mine this body style?
@@fordmustang98guy yes I am looking for that same body style of car
@@jamesgracie5786 they are so hard to find in excellent shape not too many around especially here in Canada 🇨🇦 anymore
4:43 startup
I got mine from my grandpa and it only has 40k miles. It’s a 98 LS also
Adrian English your grandfather bought his Regal Brand New in 1998?
Mark from [fordmustang98guy] yessir still looks new
Adrian English & it has 40,000 miles currently that’s low mileage for a 1998
Adrian English Could you do a startup video on your 98 Buick Regal?
@@fordmustang98guy I just bought a 2002 Buick Regal Joseph Abboued edition. With only 22,000 original miles. A paid i bit more then I wanted to but it's a one owner garage kept car so I thinks it was worth it .
ur back!!! and can u review a Toyota previa?
Those are literally impossible to find but I want one
I’ve saw one before, but they’re very rare.
Cold starting problems on GM 3800 could be due to Idle Speed Control Valve malfunction. 🦧
The issue was the Starter motor was very weak
@@fordmustang98guy Good to see you solved the issue... Hope that classic Regal is still motoring down the road and turning heads. 😏👍
Why doesn’t the key you used to start the regal not work on unlocking the doors or trunk?
That is because the black key with the chip on it is the Ignition Key & the silver key opens the door manually & opens the trunk manually if the remote does not work
@@fordmustang98guy well crap, i have a dead battery and lost my keys. The only key I have is that passkey.
@@irietropicals4255 you have to go get a door key for it you’ll have to go get a key cut
Nice
I would like to buy one of those but I'm skeptic about gaz milleage. Does it cost you a lot a week?

Dino Manta I’m not a fan of the 2011 Regal I prefer one like my 2002 the 3800 is a really good engine the 3.8 Litre V6 (3800 Series II)
A lady selling one for 1000 is this car worth it? What common issues this car have?
Deer John these are definitely great cars to drive every day I do recommend a 97-04 Buick Regal as a good daily driver but only common issues is that the ignition switch can go bad lower intake gasket is a common issue and the valve cover power steering pump has a slight whine which is normal on these 3800 motors I would recommend these type of Buick’s like mine but my advice is try to find one that has little to no rust & low mileage & if it had one owner that is a bonus

Does anybody notice the 200 mph limit
rick Marshall knew I wasn’t the only one I have regal gs and it caps at 120 , and he has a gs dash setup
A little late but you can switch to km/h. I believe 200 km/h is 120 mph
Why do you have to Reb the lot
I'm picking one up for 200 it needs a maf sensor
Just like Charlotte’s Web

Also look for a Buick Skylark Custom 1992-up
