1976 Buick LeSabre Reviews - Page 2 of 3

The exhaust (tail pipe) was not long enough to pass the U.K. motor test.

The switch for the electric aerial failed.

Dodgy trim around one of the rear quarter lights lets in rain water.

Legally seats six in air conditioned luxury.

Has the turning circle of an aircraft carrier.

Not for the shy or retiring type or for anyone wishing to keep a low profile - especially in the U.K.

You have the attention of every motorway cop.

You soon get bored with polishing it - too much tin and chrome.

I just bought the car on the 20th of January, 2003. One thing that was wrong with it was it needed a new gas tank because the one that was on it was leaking and not fixable.

The only other thing wrong was the windshield fluid pump was not drawing up the fluid from the reservoir.

This car is a real steal. I am very happy with my purchase. The car is in excellent factory condition inside and out, with a little rust on the rear bumper. I paid $2000.00 (Canadian) dollars for it and think I made a great deal. It needs very little for certification and it runs like a charm.

I drove the car from Greenwood, Nova Scotia to Guelph, Ontario and it felt like I was in a Limo. It rides low, and handles very well and will reach a speed of 75 miles and hour (120 Kph) before I know it. I caught myself at that speed several times on my trip up to Ontario and it just wants to keep going.

I haven't found anything that I don't like about the car yet, because I am a new owner of this vehicle. For that reason, I will evaluate it as time passes and make updates here.

The battery was completely drained when I bought the car, and I had to let it sit on the battery charger all day before it would even turn over. Then when I got it back to my house, it wouldn't start again, but I was able to find a battery for only $30. And I think there may be an electrical problem, the lights in the dash are all wacky and turn on and off when you touch different parts of the thing.

For being a '76, the body and interior are really well kept up. Besides a few minor rust spots and some tearing in the leather seats, it's a really nice car both inside and out.

But because of the engine size, the price for gas is bad and I put about $10 bucks in every 3 or 4 days.
