It has some scratches some bumps but it's still very nice
My car is working well it fail in some areas but they were fixed and so far it runs well and I enjoy driving it

The aforementioned dash and power window problems. It's d**n near perfect IMO otherwise.
I love the size, ride, and reliability. I had that the power windows break (ALL of them) and that they used cheap glue so the dash pulls up. Other than that, my only complaint is mileage and that they don't make them anymore!

Comfortable reliable 'friend'.
I have had no problems since purchasing my car. It is so comfortable riding and driving. As it is a limited edition there are so many extra features that I just love. Warning systems that remind me when time for servicing. It has been so reliable. Great gas mileage.

It is a very reliable car good on road trips.
My car is very reliable and is a very nice size to take trips on and have children in. While it is a older model it still a good one it is made with metal and not plastic. I have had it for many years and it is still in really good condition. I would strongly recommend this car.

The best Buick is the leasable.
The Buick lesabre is one of many vehicles I have owned and this is by far the roomiest of all. It rides super smooth and has never given me any serious issues. If I was to suggest a make and model of vehicle for reliable lift or a first time vehicle it would definitely be this one.

It's a great car for comfort and reliability.
The car is very comfortable to ride in. Even though it is old, it drives well. Great car if you take care of it. Good gas mileage. Looks like a "Grandma" car but rides perfect!

The air conditioning works and it's very cold! It also needs work.
It is very comfortable to ride in. It's also not that attractive. It gets me where I'm going, though.
accountCircle Amy E
Reliable easy to care for vehicle.
Expensive to repair, gas tank is expensive to fill up. Turn radius is large, you have to swing way out to make turns.
accountCircle James W
This car definitely has problems with maintenance.
There are quite a few problems with my Buick Lesabre. 1. Seems like it has quite a few electrical problems like lights and power windows don't work or they go out frequently. 2. Gasket seal are known to go out on these cars frequently. It is also known to burn engine oil. I also keep losing coolant and it seems like it is leaking into the engine.
accountCircle Erin M
The mileage is good the brakes are touchy and the truck and door only open with a key and not the button
I like the gas mileage and the space. I do not like the way the interior look or the trunk space
accountCircle Sandra H
It's a roomy for the whole family.
High miles. Power windows needs a set of tires. It is roomy and good on oil needs Freon also need a key to unlock the doors but have a button for the trunk. Has a very small crack in windshield put whole new oil lines in two years ago I only put 10, 000 miles or less on it in a year.
accountCircle Christopher L

I love my Buick Lesabre I bought it from some older woman 2 years ago and I am totally in my Buick gets good gas mileage I've only had to replace the power steering pump and line other than routine oil changes that's the only expensive.I would recommend a Buick to anyone it's a very reliable brand.

This car is massive, so very difficult to maneuver.
I like how sturdy and reliable it is. I also like the automatic windshield wipers. I dislike how big it is! It's hard to park.
accountCircle Lexie D on March 29, 2021
It is a tan sedan, with very comfortable seats and a strong exterior.
It is a reliable car. It is at 230, 000 miles and I still haven't had any problems with it. I have gotten in a few car accidents with it, but any time it is been dented, it pops back out and basically fixes itself. It is seats are very comfortable and it is great for taking road trips in.
