Look for stickers for transmission service in engine compartment. Sticker may indicate previous owner was noticing start of transmission troubles. Had such a sticker and needed complete transmission overhaul in 1st yr. $1800 repair bill.

I just purchased a Buick Lasbre Limited with the 3.8 engine. I see everyone get the small cars for fuel economy, but when I saw the fuel economy in this Buick (hit 32mpg on the highway yesterday) there is no way I would cram myself into a little import to get 26-30 mpg when you can get the same or better in a full size auto that rides like a dream with all the gadgets for comfort. Truly an excellent car. I am 37, not the stigma of an old guy's car, who cares!

Smooth driving semi luxury vehicle with great engine. Transmission has a known slip issue due to pressure control sensor. Only effected me when city driving. Interior accessories cheap. Had for five years. Not many problems other than wheel hub and replaced shocks.

I always run a Car fax on ANY vehicle I buy! I fell into a bed of rose's with my purchase. This car has spent it's entire life in Florida. Pristine condition, with a 2 year bumper to bumper warranty.

This would be one of the best buicks I have owned except for the transmission. The delay between coast and reacceleration for the trans to engage is maddening especially in traffic.Dealer says it is within spec.and doesn't know how to fix it. Same story from Buick. This will be my last buick.
