Option Packages
You could order the base car and add each option separately. However, Buick also had several Value Option Packages that added a group of popular options at a price that was cheaper than ordering each separately. There are too many to list here so I will just detail the T-Type’s.

Some other items:

G67 – Automatic Level Control – was not available on T-Type
JM4 – Brake System – Anti-lock - cost a whopping $925
Stripes – Body-side (choice of seven different colors) were not available on T-Type
All Limited Coupes came with padded top – however, WA8 – Top Delete – grave you a $700 credit
Remote Trunk Release
Although many Lesabre T-Types have a remote trunk release, the remote release (RPO Code A90) was not available on the 1987-1989 LeSabre T-Type.
The Buick 1988 Price Directory, under the T-Types RPO Code A90-Trunk Lock Release-Electric Remote was available for all LeSabre cars but is listed as “N.A.” for T-Type. I have looked at several the trunk stickers of cars with a remote trunk release installed and none have the A90 code. If you have the trunk release check your options sticker to see if you have the A90 RPO code. My bet is no one does…..
