I've had this car for 2 years now. Runs great. I've never had a problem with it. Suspension is very smooth, but handling is still very good. Gas mileage is excellent for this size car. I get 30 MPG on the highway and just over 20 in the city.

Road Warrior Loves his Lesabre

If you put 25,000 miles a year on a car as I do,you want comfort to be foremost. I don't drive through the Apps at 100 mph. I do drive 250 miles a day sometimes and want reliability,comfort,safty and good gas mileage. It never cease to amaze me,why anyone would use a Honda as a road car. The facts are the Lesabre gets 30 mpg on the highway at 75 mph and I have a average of 26.5 mpg since the car was bought. This is my 3rd Lesabre and I usually trade at about 140,000 miles. My last Lesabre over a five year period cost me $1300.00 in maintance. This included tires,oil changes and all other service. This car is a great value and a well keep secret. .
2001 Buick LeSabre Limited Scares

I began to have steering problems about 1500 miles into my ownership of this auto. At highway speeds it would suddenly feel like I was hydro-planing or hit a patch of ice. It felt as if the back end wanted to go one way and the front end another and turning the steering wheel had no effect for a couple of seconds. They have re- aligned the tires and found one that was defective and replaced that one. This problem began after I made a hard stop, but not an emergency stop, and the "Traction off" light came on. No matter what I tried (even turning off the motor), I could not get that light to go off. They found a problem with a wire and the brakes. It still does not drive right.

September 2002 - the front right coil spring snapped (cost $300). May 2003 - the thrust bearing in the transmission failed causing several other transmission problems(cost $2,200). Total miles on the car 48,000. I don't think I can afford to own a car that has this many problems with this little milage. The dealership did help with the cost but Buick said "tough Luck", we can't help you.
