1999 Buick LeSabre Custom review from North America
"I under rated this car at first. Quick V6, quiet, smooth ride. I'd buy it again. Great car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I had to replace the fuel pump in November 2005 and the starter. Cost approx. $600 to fix. The cassette player locked up with a cassette in it. Pretty small repairs for a car with this many miles.
General comments?
I bought this car as a "beater" to drive back and forth to work. At 88 miles round trip every day I thought it would be worth the $4000 I paid if it lasted a year.
This car is very comfortable, roomy, reliable and has plenty of acceleration.
As smooth of a ride as most Lexus' I've driven and any Cadillac I've driven.
