I went out to start my $500 Buick Lesabre this morning and it wouldn't start.
It would click once, but not start. I think it's the starter. It could also
be the battery cable. These cars have a problem with a spacer in the cable
that corrodes. I was dressed in my suit because I had to meet
I think I would load test the battery before I bought a new starter.
