Good Car But Watch Out for Unexpected $$

With less than 80K miles, I have a $1,284 repair bill because of an admitted design flaw (admitted by dealer's mechanic not GM). Per the dealer's mechanic, the plenumn on this car leaks allowing coolant and water to get into the engine affecting the function of the pistons which untimately causes the engine to lock. After the engine locks and you attempt to crank the car the starter will blow out. The dealer's mechanic said they had repaired at least 10 cars with similar problems resulting from this design flaw during the last year. GM has not issued a recall to correct this problem. I was told that this problem started with 1996 models.
Bad Supension!

I traded my Gran Prix in for a 98 Buick with 44,000 miles and the Buick is ok but it has some wind noise around the windows and on the interstate the front end bounces and it seems to want to leave the lanes, have to drive with both hands. It has ok power until around 80 miles per hour but then it lacks power. It seems to take the starter too long to kick the motor over. The seats are really hard and the back part of the front seats don"t seem high enough. I just don"t think it would be worth the price for a new one. Wishing I had my Gran Prix back!!!

Ran fine for a year. Six months ago the plenium cracked and broke, head damage, $1,000 to fix. A month ago, explosion, crunch and a piston connecting rod was shattered (it's about an inch thick of solid steel - imagine the force of that explosion!,) pieces through the engine-$1200 estimated to fix. My husband decided to tackle it - car was entirely apart when we got the recall from Buick that fuel adjustment guage was defective. We found fuel in the vacuum lines & that little part caused this. Since car is apart & we bought $500 in parts to fix, don't want to tow it to Buick. RUN SCREAMING from this vehicle.

I (sort of) have 'egg on my face' for telling everybody, for the past ten or so years, that the LeSabre was probably the best car on the road. Well, the transmission is about to 'blow'.
Great first car

My dad bought this car about four years ago and I loved it right away. Eventually passed it on to me about 6 mos ago and have had few to no problems other than routine maintanance. At 161,000 miles it still drives good but starting to show signs of age but I think it can last another 10-15k miles. Until I can get a new car
