I love this car! I have owned and driven two 1995 Buick LeSabres and I actually like my little Century better! I get 30 mpg and drive 50 miles round trip each day to work. The car handles like a dream and even my teenage daughter says she looks like a classy lady!
just a good car

Bought this car used high mileage but this car was garaged and well maintained. has a few minor maintenance issues to be taken care of need motor for the windshield washer sprayer. a couple of new front tires and a coolant flush normal maintenance! before winter otherwise should be ready for the cold winters here in Montana. owned a 88 Oldsmobile 96 and it went three years with very little repairs. hope the century can give me a least 3 to 4 years service. this car looks sharp and seems to get pretty good gas mileage. hopefully will buy a newer one in the future.

I bought my '03 Buick Century at the suggesting of a friend who is an engineer and very trustworthy when it comes to the mechanics of things. At first I was worried about it "being for old folks". I love the looks and styling of this car, as does my 22 yr old son and his friends! It had 26K miles when I purchased it, today, 2012, it has 279K, and it's still going strong. The only problems in that time were routine with the exception of having to replace the motor in the door as the window wouldn't go down last year.
Good Used car buy

I bought my Century used with just over 100K on the clock. It is reliable, and has a smooth, floaty ride. Surprisingly, it handles really well for having a soft suspension. Fuel economy is stellar, I regularly see 28 mpg combined. ( 60 percent highway commute) I paid $2100 for it and you can usually find good, low mileage examples because typically the people who buy Buicks are older. The interior is comfortable, but the plastics are low-quality and rattle over bumps. Other than this, the car has no major problems and looks and runs like new. Overall, good value for the money.

We bought a slightly used 2003 Century for my wife. It now has 59K miles on it (in 2010) and has not been high maintenance at all. She really likes the car. Beyond routine maintenance, I do not think that it has required any other care. However, it is garage kept and locally driven mostly. The exterior has a timeless quality about it and still looks up-to-date (at least to me). The interior is a mix of cheap materials and upscale features, but overall functional and attractive. Several years ago, we did have a problem with it refusing to crank. Never did determine what the issue was, but it has never reoccurred. For the price, I recommend the car.
Buick A Buy for a Century

I have enjoyed owning this car,never had a mechanical problem. Only reason I'm selling this car is i am no longer able to drive. You will have trouble free driving with this Buick Century Sedan.

I bought this car from a used car dealership with 104,000 miles on it after trading in the my chevy Corsica due to a lack of legroom( I'm 6 feet even). This car's front seat legroom is perfect for me with the seat all the way back, and the seats are so comfy I think think GM could give laz-e-boy a run for their money if they ever opened a furniture store! I drove it for 3 hours once and didn't need to stretch when I got out! Over the last year and a half, only 3 inexpensive parts have failed, the throttle position sensor, the blower motor, and one wheel bearing. She has front wheel drive and weighs about 3000 pounds, so she handles the snow like a champ. The only time I ever got stuck was going in reverse up a hill in a foot of snow! And one time on a long trip, I did the math after putting gas in it, and I was getting 31 highway mpg! That's 2 more than GM rated it, and the car is 15 years old! Only real downside: it's not a good family or carpooling car. We had to move the seats about 6 inches forward to fit our child seats behind us. Other than that, best car my wife and I have ever owned!

We found a 03 century for my grandma for free, she was in desperate need of a car. The century started right up (with a new battery) after sitting for 4 years, and runs like brand new. Still goes on the highway! 271,000 miles. Its no doubt a good car because someone stole it and drove it out of state! and it still runs like new (we have sense recovered the vehicle)
I'm in love with with the deal of the CENTURY

This is my 3rd Buick I've owned. Always liked the comfortable ride and good gas mileage (33 mpg on highway), and ample room. However at 82,000 miles the car developed an antifreeze leak. Took to local Buick delearship and they had to replace lower intake gaskets (8 hr job) and water pump. Total cost over $1100. After searching the web, found other GM car owners with same problems, and most common culprit was the Dexcool antifreeze now used by GM and plastic gaskets that get eaten away by the Dexcool. No wonder Toyota and Honda are selling so many cars. It's called quality and reliability!
