'95 LeSabre Custom

Review

Wonderful car! I bought my '95 LeSabre with 41,000 miles from Buick dealer that sold it originally. I have it serviced there for everything, too. Have 91,000 miles now. 30-34 MPG highway, 22-26 MPG city. Looks and drives like brand new. Only replaced water pump and power door lock relay. That's it! Comfortable, powerful, reliable, economical, safe, and roomy. Can't ask for anything more. The 3800 V6 is the best engine ever made.

Favorite Features

Everything! This car is the greatest!

Suggested Improvements

Absolutely none!

A pleasant old-school sedan

Review

I bought the LeSabre because its fairly comfortable and reliable for a much more affordable price that used foreign-brand models. So far I've been pretty happy. The acceleration is adequate (tho probably not as good as more recent models). The cloth seats are soft but fairly supportive, though the interior design is a bit antiquated. Reliability has been with the only repairs being a throttle ($200) and water pump ($300), and new front brake pads. The styling may not be exciting, but its timeless and classy. (the 2005 model doesn't look too much different). The handling is below-average and parking in urban areas is not fun. Overall not bad for a decade-old Detroit dreadnought.

Favorite Features

The seats are very comfortable and I like the design of the power controls on the door.

Suggested Improvements

The transmission could shift a bit smoother and the brakes and handling are not up to modern standards. Buick added 35 hp for 1996 so that was clearly a good change.

Great car for Cheap

Review

Bought for $8,000 with 54K miles on it, now it has 149K miles and is still running strong. Only one repair at 110K ($400 total) for coolant pump and intake manifold (imagine that! A GM with a bad coolant pump or a bad intake manifold!!!) Never broke down, just leaked coolant and took it in when it got real bad. Only oil and tire changes otherwise. Everything on this car works great, never has had any alignment work and still rides as smooth as day it was bought. AC and heat still work great and AC hasn't even been recharged. The only thing that has stopped working is the tape player, it has a tape stuck in it but who hasn't been replaced because radio is preferred and who uses tapes today?

Favorite Features

Smooth ride and reliability. Never left anyone stranded. Unbelievable quality, with exception to the 1 repair it's comparable to Toyota and Honda! This should make you feel better about GM. http://www.detnews.com/2004/autosinsider/0406/30/c01-199247.htm Buicks quailty is great! Better than many know.

Suggested Improvements

Hello GM, perhaps the thousands of complaints haven't set in, but it's time to install better coolant pumps and intake manifolds. And if that means buying them from the Japanesse, then so be it.

Review

I got the car from my little old neighbor lady, she purchased it new. It had 65K on it when I got it, 15K miles later the air conditioning compressor went out, $800 to fix. Later the transmission went out at 84K miles. I had a used transmission put in and after 16K miles (less than a year) it also went out. A computer at the cost of $400 and several sensors for about $350 were replaced. What really troubles me are the transmissions. I believe the engine to be a solid work horse. I like the car but not the repairs.

Favorite Features

The engine is known to be reliable

Suggested Improvements

Are the transmissions an issue or just for me.

Comfortable Cruiser

Review

Ok so unlike most kids with their Civics or trendy Beemers, i chose a nice used LeSabre. I like it because its all-American, solidly built but not ostentatious, and the interior is comfortable and roomy. The handling isnt great but straightline is decent. The trunk is great, and the price was right. I might have chose the Grand Marquis but it wouldnt fit in my garage, but this is slighly better on gas. Overall i'm pleased, its much better built than my family's newer Chrysler products. I dont understand why anyone would choose most japanese midsize cars over this.

Favorite Features

The throaty 3800, large backseat, power everything.

Suggested Improvements

Handling could be better, and i think a V8 should be optional, as well as wagon and coupe versions.

Comfy, quiet, safe, and dirt cheap!

Review

OK, this thing is no "chick magnet", but it's one heck of a deal if you value a quiet, reliable, comfy, and roomy ride. Sure, I like the new E500, but I'd rather have the Buick and a trunk full of hundred dollar bills (these things are nearly free!). I also like used Town Cars for similar reasons, but think the LeSabre is likely to be more reliable. Great car, I'm a car-crazy Detroit boy who has had every kind of car out there, but this one is a deal.

Favorite Features

cheap, reliable, quiet, comfy. The 3800 engine is quite decent, and pulls respectably.

Suggested Improvements

Interior materials are pretty low grade, and the Delco stereo is pre- historic (but sounds OK).

Review

Had a problem with it stalling unexpectedly and not starting sometimes. It was the camshaft sensor. A $40 part and small amount for labor and it's good as new. I was 39 when I got my 95 Buick after a tornado took out my wonderful 98 Chevy Lumina. Had a surgery the day after the tornado. Left it to my husband to pick my next car. He came back with a car my kids said is only for "blue haired people". Let me tell you... THEY KNOW WHAT THEY'RE DOING. best car I've ever had. I LOVE IT!!!!! My kids still laugh about the average age of drivers of this car. Runs great, drives great, quiet, avg 24 mpg. Just turned over 100500 miles and going strong.

Favorite Features

Mirror and seat controls are very easy to access.

Suggested Improvements

I'd only suggest a sportier look. However the new models have made quite an improvement in that direction.
