I bought mine second hand 6 years ago.

I bought mine second hand 6 years ago. Absolutely love this car. My son was driving it the other night and was rear-ended he was doing about 30 and truck that hit him was going about 70. My son walked away with out a scratch. Buying another one tomorrow. Wish I could attach pictures. Cop and tow company said people don't usually survive that kind of an impact. Driver area basically untouched car just folded around him.

Looked forever for good used car ....

Purchased a 2002 Joseph Abood Regal used this past August. Previous 1 owner with 68k miles. Car is great to drive, handles well and gas mileage for engine size (with turbo) is very decent. For the value its a great buy and have had small minor repairs (2 power window motors ) but the car overall has been durable, reliable and have gotten compliments on the 2 tone leather and paint design. Looked at other brands but Im very pleased for what i got for the money spent.

I drove my 17yr olds today. It rode smooth!

Rides smooth. Clean interior. Dependable. Radio is crisp. Great starter car!! Leather looks new. Gadgets are all reliable and placed in great location. Window is broken but an easy fix. Lots of trunk space.

Good Car for the Price

I bought this used to get to and from work and its done its job well. The only reason I'm not keeping it is because I've gotten something newer!

Well Worth Money for Comfort & Reliability

2nd owner beginning with 12.8k miles now well over 250k. 100 miles highway miles driven daily. Consistent 30mpg with original factory engine & transmission. Downside is small vacuum leaks hurt fuel economy.

Drive is extremely smooth and lightweight

Has great turning suspension and all of the best speed pick up from 0-45 without any loss of power, a space between all of a car full with seating heat/ac control on self control seats +all of the car radio has such great output ! I love my car and it’s a great car had it for 17 years

Love this car!!

I bought this car used and it already had 170k miles on it. I still have it and it's still running strong over 200k miles! Some wear and tear when I purchased this vehicle due to age and some neglect on previous owners part not keeping up with common repairs like spark plugs which still had factory plugs when I changed them!! Had a good amount of power and drives very smooth! If you take care of this car it will last!

Love this car!

I bought my 02 Buick from a junk yard with 170k miles already on it. Needless to say it's still going with over 200k miles on it. When I bought it. The rust kind of took over underneath and had some wear and tear.. replaced a tierod, break line, a few other minor issues. (Alot due to the rust). but overall this car has been reliable and has always started.. I have experienced it shutting off randomly and rough idling due to a fuel filter needing replaced.( Fuel injected cleaner helps) As long as you take care of the car it will last An issue that hasn't been figured out yet is one day the speedometer and gas gague quit working.. some suggested a simple fuse(All were fine) others suggested a wire or something behind dash..... but it didn't bother me enough to get it fixed lol

I Love My Regal!

It was a great car for a number years,until someone broadsidesd me as I was entering the drive up to my bank. Out of towner being in a hurry to make a light on King Street in Northampton,Ma. Dude thought he was driving in Boston? Insurence would not cover the cost,Safety Insurance,bunch of low lives after many years of paying my premium for coverage.They wouldn't even try to fix it!
