1998 Buick LeSabre Limited review from North America
"It's well built and comfortable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My brake lines broke.
The heat only blows on the passenger side.
The front tie end rods needed to be replaced.
General comments?
I had to replace my previous vehicle quickly and didn't have a lot of cash. Typical of my image of Buick, the car was owned by an older gentleman who purchased it new in 1997. The car was clean and fully loaded (everything works).
My impression of Buick has greatly changed. The car has held up very well over the past 3 years I've had it. When the economy improves, I'll consider another one.
