Question type: Maintenance & Repair
We bought this car at an auction 5 years ago and everything is expensive to fix on it!!! I am trying to find an actual owner for repairs or I will have to let it go. Does anyone have any suggestions or reside in the northwest???LOL There seem to be alot of common issues with these cars.

well, now its really running BAD, sluggish, feels like its missing sometimes, getting bad gas mil. I know it needs fuel filter and plugs but im afraid to find out how much I'll be charged for that! And if thats the only problem. Everytime it goes in shop its at least a couple hundred. For instance when we got it we had blinker trouble, turned out it needed the whole harness wires or whateverits called,LOL. Driver door wont unlock w/key anymore and remote crapped out awhile ago(we tried batteries).
i have the exact same car 94 buick regal gs and have had some issues but have learned along the way, did most repairs myself, and i do live in the northwest, in washington. plugs are easy to replace, only takes about 45 minutes for me, id recommend changing the spark plug wires too. plugs are about 2 bucks each and wires are from 25 to 30 bucks, also easy to change.
fuel filter was easy.. just remove the fuel pump fuse start engine to clear fuel line and wrench out/replace fuel filter; mine was under the car. the door trim can be pryed off. plastic fasteners line the edges there is ONE screw holding the door releasse opener plastic recess... it needs a allen wrench or torx. i forgot which.
