I currently own two of these vehicles; each has over

I currently own two of these vehicles; each has over 200,000 miles, and gets the original mileage specs (29mpg highway). A reliable and workhorse car. I had another with 313000 miles that was hit by a truck on the highway - SAD!! They tend to rust (we are in the midwest with a lot of snow and rain, so what do you expect? ). Replaced tires once on each vehicle. Last year. we drove 18000 miles with one, driving all over the US; went to Alaska once with no problems

As dependable as a model T

Recently bought an 04 limited with 132 thousand miles. Very clean inside and out. Runs like a newer car and I average 23mpg driving around Columbia South Carolina. I have never gotten above 25 mpg highway with her but she sure rides fine. Rear shocks replaced with coil overs. Leather interior ( silver or gray ) still very very nice. Headliner needs redone. Exterior ( silver ) still very clean. Some instrumentation lights will need replaced. Now has 140 thousand miles in 4 months and still a great car.

Love this wonderful LeSabre!

Received my 2004 LeSabre Limited from a relative who could no longer drive, in 2014 and with 18K miles. Always kept in a heated, underground garage. I do most of my own service and the car runs beautifully. Now has 59K miles. Only failure was a bearing in the A/C compressor at 43K miles. That was expensive at $1200 but the compressor and condenser were full or metal shards. The self-adjusting rear suspension (air shocks) was a little too mushy for me and I recently replaced them myself with coil-over shocks and the difference is wonderful. I recently replaced all the brake shoes as one had become stuck in contact with the disc and wore the pad down to nothing. This at 53K miles. I'm 86 and expect this to be my last car. It's a winner.

New Buick owner

Just purchased my first lesabre. 2004 limited with 124000 miles. I bought it needing repairs but I bought it for 500 so I factored cost of repair in. I LOVE the way it drives. I love the quietness and room and the audio system is outstanding. I've almost got it roadtrip ready and then I will really know how I like it but so far even with the issues it has its worth the risk.

Very reliable in spite of it's age

I bought the car three years ago and it had 115K miles. It has needed some service but nothing I couldn't handle myself. It is comfortable and easy to work on also gets good has mileage for a large car. It's no racecar but never felt in any danger due to lack of power. I commute 30 miles daily and it's never left me beside the road I will drive it until it dies, to be honest if the transmission were to go out I would replace it betting it will still give me years of service. As for an older used car that is affordable and dependable you can't go wrong!

Best Comfort, Best Bang for my Buck!

Don't forget the cost of insurance in these calculations! The gas mileage is surprisingly good for such a large car. Trunk space! Great entertainment control head with steering wheel adjustment buttons. Cold GM a/c. I don't particularly find the LeSabre as attractive as the Park Avenue and I miss the Park's supercharger but the LeSabre can be more readily found in under 100k miles and costs even less.

Love my 04 Buick LeSabre

This car has met all my needs! Very dependable! I have no complaints with this vehicle. Buick is one of my favorite vehicles. Also, the 3800 series is one of the best motors!

My dad gave me his ‘04.

It was low mileage in 2005. Still is. Stone reliability. Quick. Metallic glacier blue & looks new. Comfortable. And, hey, it was my dad’s car.
