My experiences with a Buick.
A beautiful white car with leather interior as well as a wood look on the dash. This car is very roomer and drives very well on trips, it has 4 doors, heated seating and I can't get enough of it.
accountCircle Laurie C
It is a smooth ride and very dependable.
I have a nice car, it is very dependable, and comfortable. However it is a little old now. I have sunk a bit of my hard earned money into her, but she's still running like a charm thankfully. My Buick is a great running car.

The Buick Lesabre nightmare vehicle.
Brake lines rusted, steering pump -steering arm has went out, had have catalytic converter taken off, leaks oil bad, transmission slips, I would not recommend buying this car used, also the lights go off and on, heater and ac goes out all the time have to put new fuses in all time, and sensors are all bad.

A good old beater car for around town
The seat belt gets stuck and the air ride in the back doesn't like to work. It doesn't like Hills it doesn't have a whole lot of power behind the engine but it is very reliable

This car is an oldie but goodie so far.
This car was bought used but seems to always have problems. I realize its old so that is part of the issue. It runs but something is knocking and rattling and the starter only turns over when it wants. I needs work but so far has been dependable.
accountCircle Durie R
I wouldn't buy a Buick buy a Ford instead they are more dependable and cheaper to maintain
Lots of wiring problems unsafe and undependable just junk
accountCircle Amanda B
That I use my car to take care of my family.
I like the spaciousness and the smoothness in the driving but I hate the v6 motor it takes lot of gas to maintain it.
accountCircle Karen R
Old reliable and sure and steady.
The Buick Lesabre has been an incredibly reliable car with very little spent on repairs other than the normal tire and brake replacements we've only had to repair the a/c a few months ago. It drives smooth and the heated leather seats are extremely comfortable. Gas mileage is decent, too, with an average 23 mpg in town and 28 mpg on the road.
accountCircle Gina O
Most comfy and reliable ride
My 2002 Buick Lesabre has many features that make this a nice car it has very comfortable seats I am a little short so I love that you can adjust the seat higher, it has power locks and windows, cruise control a few things I do not like about the car is the gas gauge quit working and there is a bubble in the dash but the car has no major issues and has 199,000 miles

Vehicle came with two key fobs that allow the driver to personalize their seats.
My vehicle is very spacious the seats are leather which makes it easier to clean up spills. The trunk is large you can start additional items and their trunk and stuff enough space for groceries. Buick LeSabres run smooth even though it's a larger vehicle when you step on the brake it slows down rather quickly. The overall performance reliability comfort and features of the vehicle are amazing. This limited edition has heated seats. Due to the condition of the vehicle at the time of purchase I've had to invest a lot of work into the vehicle which had approximately fifty thousand miles on it when I purchase it. For my specific vehicle I had to fix the rack and pinion, the AC, the window regulator along with the gas cap. I've also had the bushings fixed and the back struts. These parts had to be fixed on this specific vehicle due to it being stored in a garage for a long time. I'm not sure how much the car was driven in by the previous owner. Overall I would purchase a Buick in the future despite the mechanical issues.
