bought my buick from an older couple about 2 years ago with 120,000 miles on it for $800... this would be my third car since i started driving. BEST USED CAR IVE EVER BOUGHT. It definitely has its moments, but its been there for me more than it hasn't...No major repairs on it so far.. I hit a deer head on going 45 mph and it didn't even leave a scratch! I was also involved in a head on collision (that wasn't my fault) going 25 mph... still NOTHING! cant say the same for the other driver! Best $800 i've ever spent!

I treated this car better than any of my previous "rides". After 30 years on the road, I've found I get fewer & fewer miles on GM cars before parts fail. 32,000 and the Intake Manifold Gasket failed. I have a BIG problem with religiously taking my car into dealerships that will only suggest every form of maintenance except the one they know is suspicious. I'm too late for the DEX-COOL suit, but I did have a Chevy (62K) that was eligible. Submitted my documentation and rec'd a form letter that my car was a year older than it was, so it wasn't eligible. I also owned (before dealer exchanged) a Buick Skyhawk that had the same part fail at 40K before I bought it.

I recently rented one for a weeklong roadtrip. The car is compentent and best on the highway, but I would never buy one. The interior is soft and comfy, the controls are mostly in the worng places. At one point we seated 6, but not comfortably. Five works fine. The ride is soft and spongy, typical American car feel. The engine cruises on the highway but sputters when you try to pass or climb hills. The ride is quiet and smooth. Driving on tight turns in this thing is a nightmare.
high quality excellent value

purchased the 2002 in february to replace a 2000 century purchased new in feb. 2000. I planned to keep the 2000 a long time but my son needed a newer car so we sold him the 2000 and replaced it with an identical 2002. The 2000 had 34000 trouble free miles. My wife loves the car. Its comfortable on long trips (3 to 8 hours) you arrive relaxed and not worn out.

I owned my Buick for nearly 7 years. Mechanically and functionality it was perfect. I gave 3 stars for exterior because it rusted out. The most common problems for all Centuries is the rocker panels under the doors. Once they rust out, they need replacing. I had some issues with the underbody as well such as the break lines. Hey, but living in New England will do this to a car. Overall, this car is a solid buy. There’s a reason they are popular, they get the job done...point A to Point B.
