Love this car!

I have minimal problems and repairs are inexpensive and essentially basic maintenance, such as brakes. It looks better than newer cars! The paint job on all Buicks is exceptional, and the exterior looks shiny and much newer than it is. The interior is beautiful and comfortable leather seats. I thought I had a transmission problem, but flushed and replaced the transmission fluid and it's fine. I baby the car, it's garaged and it has 115,000 miles. It is a 2004. I bought it in 2012 with 82,000 miles at a reasonable price. It kept me safe with an unusual accident where an old lady with dementia stepped out onto 95 and went through the windshield. We were safe, the car was repaired and this car is like a tank. I bought it for cash, owe nothing and this car makes me feel safe and I love it!

Good condition

Clean and comfortable. It is a nice car to drive in town and on the highway. The radio sounds real good. And, the CD player works fine. The air conditioner and heater work well, also.

i love it, but won't go much more than 240000km

very comfortable car and wide. you can fit a sheet of gyps or wood 8'x4' no problem in that vehicle. It cost me less than a 1000 a year of repair and i had it for approx. 7 years and my parents own it for more than 5 years. Ive redone almost all front end, lower and upper bolt joint, bearing, and now i quit. rack n pinion was told after 230000 it would happened and lasted me up to 248000, now the leak is too much before i burn the pump, i parked it. its for sale for a mechanic. The garage won't touch it below 2000$ too replace the rack n pinion ;(. but overall I loved that car. I've done the tour of N. S. and PEI no problem. My friend had 2 and both had the same front end, rack n pinion problem.

Terrible expensive suv

Most expensive repair bills of any car I've had. Bought used 54,000 now 126,000 miles. Spent over $10,000 in five years on repairs. 4 Wheel bearings, tie rod, replaced brakes every 2 years. Rear-end noise versatrack poor design cost $300 to replace fluid every couple years.

Smooth Ride

It is an incredibly spacious vehicle. With a smooth ride. Nice leather interior and wonderful amenities such as double adjustable rear arm rests and cup holders.

A good bang for the buck.

The car rides nice, and seems like a very good car, but what the real test that I believe , is this questionnaire should be asked after you own the car for a year. If you purchase a used car, and are using it a year after purchase, than these questions should be asked, because you really know the car after about 9 months.

Nicest car i have ever owned.

The only thing that I have a problem with is the gauges sometimes stop working, but only the rpm, and temp., and fuel. My speedometer has never quit. It's really inexpensive to fix though.
