One of the most reliable cars I've owned

It's the last of the full-size Century, built on same chassis as the Chevrolet Impala. And, and probably the last affordable Buicks. Makes a great, comfortable 4 passenger car with great power, fuel millage for a full-size-I average around 24 in-town and close to 30 on road. Highly recommended. Now a couple of years later and this 2005 Buck Century is just as great. Higher quality new tires helped even more! I can't find a better pre-owned late model that's better yet!

Best low repair/maintenance I've ever experienced

The only concern that I had with this car was the blind spot seemed more than other cars that I've driven and owned during my 56 years. Other than this, the car truly was the lowest maintenance/repair cost of any vehicle I've driven or owned to date, and I've own a few cars during my day. I give it an A++ for reliability and get up and go. I'm also a person of 5'2" and the seats were great, my back did not sit off the back of the seat as it does in most cars because the seat is usually longer than my hip to knee area which causes my back to not sit flush with the back of the seat; this can cause great discomfort and lower back pain. I had no such problem with this car while all of my taller friends never complained once about being uncomfortable so that is a win/win for tall and short drivers and passengers!! This quality is a big one in my book. No complaints and lots of compliments go to the 2005 Buick Century! Really a great car, great A/C and great stereo as well, the other big factors as far as my likes are concerned.

Thrilled with our Purchase of a 21 Yr. Old Century

We needed an inexpensive "second" car for a daily commuter that we could pay cash for. We found a 1999 Buick Century Limited with only 76,500 miles on it. The low mileage is what sold me the most initially. Averaging around 25k miles a year on a vehicle, I figured there should be 3 years of life left in it until I retire. At first, I joked with everyone that it was my Senior-Mobile. However, after my first 200 miles with it, I have a whole new respect for this underrated vehicle! This car runs and drives very smoothly. No wonder why seniors bought a bunch of these cars. It's comfortable, roomy, smooth and pretty easy on gas for a larger vehicle. It's not a hot rod, but that's okay. I didn't purchase this vehicle to impress anyone with looks & performance. I experience a combined city/freeway mileage of 24 MPG. For daily commuting, that impresses me more than feeding extra ponies all the time. With 3 months and 6000 miles under my belt with this Century, we may be considering a newer Buick in the future.

Well, I had reserved a compact car to drive to Yellowstone from Saltlake city, but they ran out and gave me this Buick to my big innitial disappointment. I wanted a small gas efficient car for my trip. My best friend got a Ford Focus at the same time. Well, we took out the cars and hit the road at night, inside the Buick looked almost exactly like my Dad's old 1984 Cutlas Supreme. The ride was cushy, very quiet and the car felt somewhat underpowered. We drove 150 miles, and the next morning we pulled up to a gas station. To my utter surprise, the Century needed 2 dollars less than the Focus to refill the tank.
Excellent Quality & Reliable Buick

I drive this car to work and feel confident in its reliability and safety. It has been an excellent value and rides smoothly with quick acceleration. Way to go GM! I recommend this car to everyone looking for a dependable and affordable used car.
