1998 Buick LeSabre Limited review from North America
"It is an average G.M. vehicle"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
As far as reliability, there is no problem. The problem is the plastic upper olenum has had to be replaced on an average of every 50,000 miles. The plenum costs 160.00 before tax and about 2.5 - 4.0 hours. to replace it. I also found out G.M. changed the plastic to an aluminum intake in 2004.
