- In this video I give a full in depth tour of the 1986 Buick Century Limited. I take viewers on a close look through the interior and exterior of this car while showing details, over viewing of features, and noting unique styling cues to the vehicle itself. I also show the engine and the details of it, start it up and see how it sounds under acceleration. A thorough tour/review of this car designed to give others a greater overall appreciation of the vehicle.

Those old column-mounted gear shifters beat modern floor shifters by a landslide. IMHO, they are much more convenient since they are right in front of you.
i wish you would do more videos on older cars like this again
Yep! That would be great!
David Mollard agreed
me too and cheaper cars
Yes
He died
Man I LOVE the 80's Centuries. I love the dash design. Our old Mechanic used to drive a 1989, it was in horrible cosmetic shape, but he kept it running like new. It had over 300,000 miles when he got rid of it.
Thanks Kyle for these (nowadays at least) odd cars. It brings back tons of memories, because in the eighties it appeared that every second car was this type or its GM siblings. The Chevy Celebrity, the Olds Cutlass and the Pontiac 6000. Each one had their stylistic personality, they were quite popular in their segment and thus they held back the import invasion for awhile quite well.
The exhaust sound on these was very cool. My aunt had a Berreta that had the V-6 and it always sounded bigger than it was.
I Just Love the way those GM v6 engines sound! and that door buzzer was kinda anoying. but i like these old GM cars like this!
I love these old car videos. I try to imagine what they were like when they were still in the showroom.
I love the body style of that 1986 Buick Century Limited
My first car was a 1986 Century Estate. This video brings back memories.
This brings back memories for me. I had an 89 Century Limited for a while in high school. It was a nice car, ran great. I got it from an elderly relative and it only had 33,000 original miles back in 2006. I sold it a year later for a 99 Cougar. Century's are pretty good cars. Not real flashy or anything really ground breaking but still good dependable cars.
There's something really appealing about 1980's American cars. They look so comfortable and well made, not to mention the attention to detail!
We had one of those! 87. loved it. my mother was in 2 huge accidents involving a produce truck and an 18 wheeler, and that thing held its ground. She had to have shoulder surgery, but that's a lot better than being dead.
We had a 1984 Century, Los Angeles Olympics Edition, with all the bells and whistles. From 1989 to 1995. It was the car that got me to and from college. It had the 2 barrel Dualjet carb and a little 3.0 V6. Super good ride.
do you still have your 84 Buick Century
We sold it in 1995. Looking back, it had some issues that if they had occurred today, I would have gladly and easily fixed today (just due to my increased knowledge and experience with cars) . It was a nice ride.
smithraymond09029 was it rusted out
smithraymond09029 was the 84 Buick Century rusted out
100% California car. Zero rust.
I haven't seen these Buicks in a minute man, I love these cars. Nice
My dad used to have this car. It was awesome, and I spent many good times riding to model train expos in it.
I had a '89 Cavalier Z24 with that 2.8 but w/MPI w/ 5-speed manaul. My muffler rotted in that same exact spot 4 times in the 10 years I had the car. Usually left it off for several months before replacing it. Sounded so good.
My first car. Dad bought it from the salvage yard and fixed it up. Drove it till I was about 20. Started 1st time, every time, in the South Dakota winters. I trusted Buick so much, my "upgrade" was to a '96 Skylark.
I have a 1995 century and love it, these are great cars!
My mother, r.i.p., owned a 1987 Buick Century Custom Sedan with rosewood paint. Beautiful.
The amount of ashtrays and their placement in these older cars always cracks me up. Car sounds awesome! haha wasn't expecting it! Thanks for sharing!
I own an 1988 century and it’s great, I’m 17 and it is my first car and I got it for 1600, it’s fun to show my friends since most of them don’t know a lot about cars and when they see it there always like “wow that looks just so old and cool” 😂
I love these front-wheel drive A-bodies. Thanks very mych for showing us cars like these Kyle!
My second car was this back in 2003, loved it more than my ford probe 1990.
Wow. It has an impressive exhaust note.
that car sounds fantasic!
I LOVE these older cars!
All of you guys are nuts! These were great cars, the best from GM in the 80's sounded great and were bulletproof. I owned an 84 Pontiac 6000 STE. One of the best cars I've ever owned. Kyle if you ever come across a mid 80's STE, without further adieu, you know what to do.
gotta love the older buicks, great video kyle!
I always associated American cars with V8 sounds, but I have learnt they made some mean sounding sixes as well after binge watching beaters by saabkyle and some others.
This one has one of the best exhaust notes I've heard. Sounds like a GM New Look bus with Detriot 6V71. Both products of the General as it happens.
i have yet to get my first car, and looking at videos like these make me happy because these cars are in my reach :]
Best sounding buick i ever saw
Good to see a old car vid again!
Blast from the past! Great vid Kyle!
I'd have this car over the newest Lamborghini
same gotta love these buicks built like tanks
Anthonys Vlogs count me too
jake mann that's enough UA-cam for you today
jake mann yeah mhmm... i doubt that. You're just saying that to show your love towards this car but anyone who doesnt have the brain of a fish would pick whatever is more expensive. If it's your dream to own one of these or restore it or make a build then you could sell that lambo and end up with a 2 cent century, and a million other things.
im done reading comment sections now... like The King said... enough youtube for today.
jake mann anyone with a brain would
I grew up in a 1982 Century. Wow, the memories...
My dad had this old man car when I was a kid. Now I want one.
I love the sound of those old 3.1 engines. The 4.3's sound pretty cool also.
It's a 2.8 litre not 3.1. This is a 1986 and the 3.1 came out in 1994.
@@johnaldrich2074 I had a 1990 with the 3.1. They were more or less the same engine but the 3.1 had a little more guts behind the grunt. The 2.8 had a nice heavy/hammer type sound, but when you actually tried to lay into it, it ran out of steam very quickly.
Finally A Review Of A Car That I Can AFFORD :]!
I think mine was a 1987. Everything was the exact same as that car. It was my first car after I graduated high school. I paid $860 for it. Never had any issues with it until I bought another car. I sold it to a guy who abused it and the transmission lost its forward gear and could only go in reverse. That car was super comfy. Paint was fading just like that one. All the older people I knew at the time, made a big deal about the "Body by Fisher" sticker on the car lol. Had a cassette adapter that allowed me to play my cd player through the stereo.
the 1984 and 1986 Buick Centurys are my favorite cars and I love them and I found a grey 1986 Buick Century and I like that car and it's the first vehicle I am going to get next year when I get my license
That is a nice car. Very comfortable. I like.
Couldn't agree more. I have a very mechanically similar '89 Cutlass Ciera I just bought today. It's been in the family since '98 and currently has around 170K on it. I intend to see how far she'll go!
From WOW to OWW :)
I love it, Kyle! Keep 'em coming!!
It sounds like the Clover from GTA San Andreas
I had an 87 the same color....Loved that car
do you still have your 87 Buick Century
+Ean GS Yerbic no....the motor blew a valve back about 2003...Been gone a long time now........Ive got a 94 oldsmobile cutlass supreme.coupe now
chess1458 ok
BEAUTIFUL, BEAUTIFUL
PLEASE MORE CARS LIKE THIS :)
I love those old buicks. Thats an awesome sounding V6. I actually like the older cars better. I do like how you have a great variety on here. Everything from a lamborghini to a old 60'd car. or even a John Deere :)
i remember back on 1986 when my aunt brought one of this buick century home it was a burgundy one.but back then it was like wooow like having a nice 2012 in our actual days.it was really fancy.really nice.but as time goes by you could tell its been more than a thousand sunrises.and sunsets.and look really old.its good that you still people find them intersting now ive turned down so many oportunities to get one myself.is one of the old cars i wouldnt make it a classic.when i could buy a stang
This car is as old as me :) Nice job buddy
these cars are straight up TANKS
i love this car
Looks awesome for an '86!
In my opinion, this is back when GM actually cared about the products they produced. Everything is all plastic now...you almost never see cloth on the door panels, or comfy seats like those. And when you did this video, the car was 25 years old. You have to admit, it's in decent shape for its age. Give it a new dash panel and some clear coat and she'd shine like the day she came off the assembly line. I wonder if it's even still going to this day.
that car needs to go be loved with kyles magic hands :)
This car hits the spot.
+Andrew Patterson As a junkyard candidate? Yes.
+toyoscio Cars are one of my favorite interests. I had a friend who was big on cars.
i had a gold version of this car w/ the 3.8L. paid $50 for it in 2000. beat the hell out of it. it had open manifolds (exhaust rusted out and was ripped off going over a hump bridge). it was loud as hell. fun car. won my 1st street race in it against a 3rd gen IROC Camaro.
that is just a great sound
None of your videos can be described by 'boring'. It's great that you can respond to that kind of comments reasonably without starting 3 page long argument. Those kind of comments, do not take them too seriously. Your variation of vehicles in your channel is awesome, keep up the good work! I hope we'll see BMW's again soon :p
Another great vid this car has alot of promise to be a fix a upper.
@LordV8boy i like hearing the different door chimes/buzzers
WTF this things sounds good, very nice. I wish my 93 mercury sable sounded like this!
What A Man Gotta Do
You can feel the dampness on a rainy day just by looking at that interior
Nice the car is as old as I am :D
When the optional 4-speed automatic overdrive was ordered back then, they had to order the V6 engine...this had both!
Love the sound of old school GM V6s. weak, but had a very distinctive rumble.
Man. This car sounds muscular lol. Love these old cars. It kinda reminds me of my old Celebrity my parents used to own.
That engine makes BMW M3 sound like a 100cc scooter! :-)
I love old Buick’s
"God I love the sound of those engines." KA-BOOM!
Shure is a true classic
My dad had a 84 century custom in a metallic grey blue nice running car bought brand new from Heritage Buick back in 84 was the last year for that color 85 had a navy blue which was used through out of the late 80s🇺🇲
idk y but love old cars like this
Now this is a video! Awesome car! It would be great if it was fixed up a little!
if ur tint strip is faded on the windshield, any way to make it blue again?
This is the perfect definition of a beater
God, that thing sounds sooo mean! I love the sound of the older GM V6's and have since I was a kid. I had an '88 Century Custom as my 2nd car. It was similar to this, but it wasn't anywhere near as loaded and it had the 2.5 "Iron Duke" 4 Cylinder in it. It leaked Power Steering fluid pretty bad, but it was still a good car. Wish it would have had the V6, though.
Funny because I own a 90 that I bought for $400 like this one but with tricked- out flip flop colors changed from black metallic with sparkles in the day to grey, black, flat grey or flat black at night, its a 4cylinder that only needed 1 fuel injector a pretty simple job, had 89k in 2011, was smooth on the way home while I drove as my sister pulled the car and nearly tore out an engine cradle bushing with our mom's truck! It has 147k miles now yet I've only driven it for 7 months on off between I and my sister, then she kept it for her daily commute, later I and my sister got different vehicles 2012, 2014. the buick sat from 2014 till 4/25/2016 still starts like butter lol now my cousin will be driving it, she says half a year but idk it's sentimental value to me now as it has always been, I jus want it back so I can truly give it a run for the money that I put into it! pun attended :-)
Exactly like my sisters' Buick. It had well over 200K miles on it. Good cars if you take care of them.
just stinks that some can just let a good car go to waste, back in its prime that was a high end car. great vid Kyle
Great video, and it seems like some of the older cars you find have very low mileage on them any way gotta love those older car styling!
this was my first car and I drove it to highschool
it pretty much was the biggest POS I ever owned esp the Tech4 engine
There are few little old lady owned all original ones of these running around in the Greater Hudson Valley New York area and some are in almost pristine condition (surprising with the amount of snow we get up here)
Classic!!!
I love column shifters
Call me nuts but I miss those old GM chimes from the 80s and early 90s.
I love how it sounds, sounds like a rally car
bring more vids like this it makes the vid interesting plz kyle
keep doing cars like this :)
Gotta love those old A-Body FWD cars.
If I could find one now. I'll drive it today I miss my old school whips.
5 digit ODO
My grandma absolutely had a car like this.
DO MORE VIDEOS ON CARS LIKE THIS!!!
this thing rules
Unless it doesn't start. GM probably used the same carb system they did on the 2.5 Iron Duke for the first years of the X cars
It needs a new exhaust. Over all, however, it looks pretty good and quite comfortable. When you talk about the big 3, I like more General Motors vehicles, having Oldsmobile and Cadillac as my favourite ones.
And for 75K mileS (I bet on 175, or maybe even on 275K miles), it could be better, but its showing to be a good warrior.
Thank you very much for sharing, Kyle! Good vibes.
These century's last a century too. Tough cars.
I love these old cars, but I like it more when you find the good sort of well kept or better survivers, but it´s all fine.
Nice vid kyle always do like your old car videos but I just gotta say if there had be a car the defines the term POS this would be it!!.
My dad has a '92 Buick Century, it has a 33 HP V6 engine, fair transmission (my dad thinks it's starting to go out, it tends to slip at traffic lights), good tires and brakes, decent radio (tape player doesn't work), air conditioning and heating (heater works, but not the air conditioner), power seats, power trunk release, and finally, the doors (front only) automatically lock when you take the car out of (P)ark.
does your dad still have his 92 Buick Century
Ean GS Yerbic Yes, and it turned out the transmission was low on fluid
+Michael Lutz ok
