1990 Buick LeSabre Limited from North America - Comments

Ignition coil and module went bad two months after purchase.

EGR valve went bad one month later.

Started leaking oil at 167000.

This car rides decent and is very comfortable and roomy.

However the parts for this car are very expensive.

The coil and module were right at $200.

The EGR valve was $280.

Another thing that disappointed me was that it for a V6 it was very weak.

I own a 1990 LeSabre and it runs beautifly. The parts are NOT expensive and I have never had it break down like other cars. The 3.8 liter V6 also just keeps on going and does NOT leak oil! You have got to change the review now!!!

I purchased a 1990 Lesabre in 2000 with 87,000 miles already on it. Keeping the maintenance up on the car is all I have had to do (except for replacing an alternator) in the 5 years that I've owned the car. In my opinion it's a great car. I've never had a car that was so dependable and safe to drive. Right now there is 187,000 miles on the car and still going strong. It's mainly driven up and down mountains where I clean houses. Anytime we go anywhere we take the Lesabre.

I think that its important to take into consideration a few things when looking at the '92 LeSabre. 1) It's a 13+ year-old car depending on when you bought it. 2) Where do you live? What are the conditions there, both on the road and the weather.

I live in New England, and I have no idea what the previous owners did to the car. I've had my '92 LeSabre for about 2 years now, and generally when people ask me how it is I say "It runs." My suspension took a beating this winter and I'm bringing it in to get a fun popping in the front passenger's side checked out this weekend. Since I've had the car, I've had to replace the alternator, water pump (the pulley blew off and then my serpentine belt was destroyed), front pads (maintenance) and rotors, and the rear right break cylinder. It leaks a small amount of oil (nothing substantial), tranny fluid, and power steering fluid.

Being that I'm 24 years old, this is the best of the three cars I've had. Previously, I owned a 1988 Ford Taurus 2.5-4 cylinder (which was a joke) and a 1992 Pontiac Grand Prix that I had to slam the door shut to jolt the ignition to start the car. Good times. These aren't reflections on the manufacturers; these are the risks you take when you purchase a used car privately, especially an aged car.

I can guarantee that my next purchase will more likely than not be a certified pre-owned through a dealer. I do not know whether or not it will be a LeSabre, but I do not disenjoy the car. It isn't a bad ride and it certainly is a comfortable car for the passengers as well as the driver. Cargo space is fabulous.

Hi. I have a question about Buicks or cars in general: I'd just like to know if it's possible to disconnect or disengage the power steering: to drive the car without it?

Thanks.
