Buying "THAT" car

We have owned older LeSabres and always found them to be great cars. My wife wanted a newer LeSabre so I informed her that they ended in 2005. She told me to be on the lookout for a nice one. I was checking Craig's list when a new listing popped up that was hard to believe. Son selling his dad's car for his widowed mother. Bought new in Sept. '03 and a 4" stack of receipts of all service since. 74k miles with new servicing and tires for the sale. Needless to say, my wife is very happy with car, it's comfort and economy. Seats 5 adults and a child with adequate space, or 6 adults in a pinch. The head and leg room are more than adequate for people over 6' to ride in comfort. Handles well for a larger car and rides like a limo. Car has never had dirty oil and never will the way I maintain it. At 63 I expect to have this car for life or until totalled.

I purchased this vehicle after Mother Nature totaled my prized 1999 Buick Regal with a supercharged 3.8 L engine. It only had 369,000 miles on it - barely broken in. It had some minor rear damage, some dings, a tear and an excessive wear spot in the leather on the driver seat, and a few other minor things, but hey, I was buying a used car. It didn't have the power of my Regal, of course, but it was no slouch either. All-in-all I was happy. I paid cash for an "AS IS" car but they chose to give me a 90-day warranty because they "liked" me and I paid cash. Two weeks later I brought it in with a few problems. The dealer charged me an outrages sum of money and would guarantee it would fix my problem - it didn't fix my problems and my 90-day warranty was a hoax. I no longer use that dealer - found an honest one up north. I have discovered that the previous owners did not take very good care of their car. I have always lived by the premise that if you take care of your car, it will take care of you. I'm down to fair-wear and-tear items now. The engine has never skipped a beat! The 3.8 has been a solid workhorse since 1961. It's a real shame they stopped making it. As for the rest of the car, once I fixed a problem, it stayed fixed!!! I expect to get at least 350,000 miles out of this Buick now that she's happy again. I have NEVER been disappointed with my Buicks!

Buicks with low miles

There are tons of these cars with low miles out there. I looked at this site religiously when doing research so decided to pass along info for others. Bought a top of the line Celebration edition with gran touring package and every other option for $7500, with 44,000 miles. The tires and brakes are original. The only thing that does not work is the seat warmer on the drivers side. I am 6' and the seats are too short and too cushy. The upper manifold leak had already been fixed by the previous owner. I get 27 mpg country driving (55 mph, little stopping) and 21 or 22 in the city. A good value, huge trunk, the car heats up quick, defrosts quicker, is smooth riding and kinda floaty.
Great get

I experience a distinct vibration on the steering wheel, dashboard, front seats,brake pedal. This occurs at slow (2-3) mph and stoped with motor running in idle and transmission in drive. Put i in Neutral snd vibration eases. I have had it in for service 4 times and service manager says this is normal. I have drove ford 4cylander and oldsmobile 6 cylander. Both with no vibration. I have complained to Buick Company but they give me no hopes that they can fix the vibration. They(Buick) promised to write me a letter of explination. I am on verge of filing with the Florida Lemon Law.
