The previous owner replaced the water pump, tires, battery, radiator, and fixed the a/c before I bought the car. I had to repair a spot of rot (very common of the full size GM cars) in the trunk with fiberglass.
Driving a Le Sabre is like driving a freight train, its big, fast, and reliable. The soft Dyna Ride suspension makes it feel like your floating on a cloud yet keeps the car controlled in the twist and turns. The 3.8 liter V6 is fast and quiet, with pick up being much stronger then one might expect from a car this big. The automatic transmission has auto overdrive and is resonsive and smooth even under hard conditions. I bought this car to replace my 1992 Pontiac Bonneville, and both cars share the same engine and basic platform as well as the Oldsmobile 88.
The Seats are great, I have power drivers seat and its as comfortable as can be. All controls are clear and the heat and a/c work quickly. The car can seat 5 people comfortable, though 6 is tight. The trunk will hold a small condo.
The paint has held up well although it has some light scratches and there is a small crack in the plastic front passenger fender, which is common with these cars. The stereo sounds good, I have the am/Fm/cassette and power antenna. After driving this car I can say my next car will be a Buick.
1993 saw standard ABS and it's a slight improvement over my Bonneville which didn't have ABS.
The center armrest holds cassettes, glasses, and much more and is very useful.
This car is the worlds premier highway cruiser.
I own a Buick Park Avenue (1993) and it has served me extremely well. It has 119,000 miles and I have had no major problems. I have owned nothing, but Buick's in my lifetime (I am 72 and going strong) and I have never, ever been tempted to buy a foreign car. As far as I am concerned, BUICK is the car to beat, but beat it--you cannot!!!
How strange! August 18th will be my 1st year anniversary since I bought MY '93 Buick Le Sabre! It's been wonderful, its my first car and I love it to death.
