We bought this car for my wife's use as she wante a larger vehicle for highway safty and security. Then we sold our other car when she retired and I have used it exclusively for several years. It runs great with few mechanical problems. I feel a little luxurious in it because that is the look, like it is an "uptown" look. We have taken many trips in it and it is great on the road. Our mechanics always tell us it is the best American made car. We agree.

Comfy, quiet, safe, and dirt cheap!

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.

I recently inherited my uncle's car. At first, I was a bit underwhelmed. I could still smell the smoke from Unk's pipe. The car was in incredible shape. Not even 38000 mile! I decided to drive it arround a bit before I sold it, and I was hooked! It rode great and the handling was better than I thought it would be. It was like new inside. I decided to take a long Sunday drive in it and was impressed at the performance of the engine and yet the very resonable mpg (28.6). Well, needless to say, I'm keeping it. It is no head turner, but it is a very comfortable ride and very roomy. Thanks again, Unk!

Rides like a swaying lumber wagon.

Have had nothing but problems with the suspension with this car. It rides like an old "lumber wagon", swaying side to side. Had new struts installed, still does not help. It is just the "Buick" ride, and/or GM ride. GMC really messed up when they changed the suspension from the older 80 models.
