2000 Buick LeSabre Custom review from North America
"Keep a lot of nickels and dimes on hand"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
There seems to be a lot of quirks with this car, such as when I purchased it, the fuel gauge didn't work right, so the dealer gave me a break on the price.
Next I went through a car wash and it seems to have a leak around the windshield.
The wiper motor went out at about 115000 miles. As soon as I got that fixed, the driver's side rear window regulator went out at 116000 miles. Found out the assembly with motor costs about $250.00. I just forked over $267.00 for the wiper motor including labor.
Is this thing engineered for maximum profits instead of reliability?
General comments?
Has a very good motor, and the body style is nice. Smooth riding and comfortable. Economy about 24-28 MPG overall.
Handles nice. Just those quirks that are annoying. It's nickel and diming me!
