Level sensor for hydraulic shocks went bad at 28145 miles.
Both driver and passenger heated seats went out at 30,734 and 32,899 miles.
Ignition module went out at 66,742 mile.
Intake manifold gasket had to be replaced at 80,174 miles.
All four window motors went bad before 100,000 miles. We replaced the two front motors for around $400 each.
Now our son is driving the car and it is stalling intermittently. He has had the crank shaft sensor and the fuel filter replaced. No fault shows up on the diagnostic, so it's guess work and expenses in trying to fix the problem.
After having so much trouble with this car my husband and I decided to try a foreign car. We bought a 2004 Lexus and have not had one thing go wrong with it. It has 75,000 miles on it, and other than normal maintenance, it has not had to be in the shop for anything.
My son is now shopping for a foreign car. We might have great automobile workers in the US, but the parts they put on the cars are not worth the trouble they cause.
Never buy a used Buick.
Why not buy used Buicks? 2 of my 3 cars have been used Buicks and I have not had nearly the amount of trouble you experienced with your LeSabre. My current Buick even came with an extended warranty which is good for 2 more years and I only paid $35 to transfer it to my name. Another great reason to buy used Buicks, or any other Domestic brand is the steep depreciation. My 2005 Buick with 16,700 miles cost about the same as a Toyota Camry from the same year with more miles. My next car will definitely be a used Buick.
