Newest car I've owned

I love my car. Seat and mirror warmers, auto start, leather seats, clean and sleek. Handles like a dream. Easy on gas. I would buy another.

Low mileage, pristine condition and a good price

The Buick LaCrosse which we purchased from Ken's is in perfect condition with low mileage. We are very happy with our purchase. We purchased this car for our daily use, traveling to work , family transportation and general everyday use. The LaCrosse has a smooth and quiet ride. Perfect for our family.

Great Buy!

A perfect 1st car for my daughter. Safe, reliable , affordable! My daughter was able to buy the car outright for cash. James Meek made the process for her very easy.

Super Undervalued Steal

Unbelievably solid vehicle value. Excellent handling, very good and quiet ride. These Buicks require very little maintenance; things just seem to last. Parts are extremely reasonable and readily available. One of the best things is the 3.8 Liter V-6 engine. It is considered nearly "bulletproof." I've had two of these engines go 250,000 miles and still pass California's strict emissions certification. I have owned a couple LeSabres, which are the same weight, and easily deliver 23 to 27 miles per gallon. (The LeSablre had the 3800 Series II engine; The LaCrosse has the 3800 Series III, which seems to deliver the same mileage, but is more responsive and slightly smoother. ) Each of my brothers owns his own LaCrosse, and swears by it. We find it delivers better fuel economy and greater safety than somewhat smaller -- and more expensive to buy and maintain cars. Both of them live in the Inland Pacific Northwest, and find it handles snow and ice driving very easily. In sum, I am convinced these Buicks represent one of the best-kept secrets in the industry.

We would drive our new Buick Coast to Coast!

Our new 2009 Buick LaCrosse is everything that we were looking for in a used car. We drove a total of around 500 miles to purchase our new Buick and we would do it again. Thank you!

Reliable and Comfortable Cruiser

Very comfortable car, comes loaded with some nice features. Good looking, nice interior and exterior. Big leather seats, good lower back support (also heated in front). Big 3.8 liter v6 to offset the fact that it weighs around 3,500 pounds (the weight makes winter driving nicer). You're not going to win any races in this car though, as the old style 4 speed automatic is lacking in performance. Overall a great everyday car.
