It is easy to drive, steer, and control in an emergency.
I've enjoyed this car. It is comfortable, has electric adjustable seats and dimming rear view mirror. Front wheel drive is perfect for the snow and ice we get here in Montana. No complaints.

I love my Buick. It is very reliable and I have never had to spend money on it except for routine maintenance. It also has a very comfortable ride.
accountCircle Mariah H
It is very fuel efficient and durable.
The car is amazing. It is a Buick which has been determined that it is a very durable and reliable brand. Some of the things that can be potential problems is that the battery is under the backseat, which makes it interesting when changing the battery but overall it is a good car.

I love my old Buick lesabre
3800 gen 2 engine cannot be beat with regular maintenance. There have been some electrical bugs but overall a amazing vehicle to own.
accountCircle Michael D
It is a Buick. American car.
Front end problems and the gas gauge does not work properly, other than that, the car is great to drive. Gets about 24-26 mpg mostly highway driving.

Negative Owner Reviews

Buick Lesabre is a headache!
The Lesabre overall is a disappointment! I am not sure if it is due to the make/model or if it is due to it is age. These cars do not last very long and many issue will start to arise after you drive it around. Transmission is very shaky, I have had to replace mine. Not to forget the windshield wipers are faulty and have a mind of their own, sometimes wiping on the highest setting when only the lowest setting is needed. The upholstery inside the car will start to detach from the roof of the car and cause an ugly draping cloth to be seen. The dashboard has issues too like: no lighting to see the buttons and none of the cigarette lighters work.

You can choose to set your lights to come on automatically at night.
The a/c isn't working. The ceiling is coming off. The seats are very comfortable when driving long distances. Very reliable.

2000 Buick Lesabre- needs TLC
My vehicle is previously owned, and apparently has been in an accident. There are minor cosmetic issues related to this, which are a crack in the windshield, lose dash, and dents on the outside of the car. These dents are minor and could easily be repaired. The heated seats no longer work, and the back windows are not able to be rolled down. All that being said, the car is sound otherwise. It handles like a dream, and you couldn't ask for a smoother ride. The motor has a lot of miles on it, but is still in very good running condition. New tires wouldn't hurt.
accountCircle Monica C
It has low mileage for It's age
Doesn't get good gas mileage and air conditioning doesn't work but after putting over 2000 in repairs I just keep driving it until it no longer runs. It is very roomy and I can get a lot of people or things inside the car.
accountCircle Antonio D
One of the most important part would be the contents inside of the front hood.
Problems come from time to time but it still holds up. Some of the part's could fail overtime but that is on the previous care the last owner gave it.
accountCircle Lin
Electrical problems
Won’t start without a jump although there is a new battery and alternator in it. The dome light comes on sometimes. This is simply unreliable! It’s huge, comfortable but if it doesn’t run what’s the point. Mechanic just put new alternator in it $450. I went to pick it up and all it did was click.
accountCircle Joanna S
Good on gas, drives smooth, good handling.
Good on gas the shocks going out the lugs breaking off because the wheels on it the tail lights are expensive.

Only problems have are normal wear and tear on vehicle. The only problems that is frustrating are the power windows stop working often. And the 3 plug ins all went out at same time.

Yes it is reliable. However, we use Lucas additive in the fuel gage because sometimes the fuel gage will stick. Other than that, it has been a good car.

Only problem I've had was having to replace the two back windows. Was told that since they are used the least the mechanisms tend to kind of freeze up.

Is The 2000 Buick LeSabre A Good Value?

It cost 2,600 dollars and it was a great value. I bought it used hence why it was cheap but it was definitely worth it.
Megan D.
Not sure of the cost. We paid $2500.00 for ours... it was a previously owned vehicle. I have no idea how much a one would cost at this time without looking it up in the Blue Book for a quote. Sorry.
Jackson S.
For me it was not new, so it cost around 3,000 for me,. The value of it is definitely worth it, there's not many issues with the battery or the car in itself and I'm not sure about a new Lesabre but... Read More
