We have a few customers with them. Other than normal service they are solid but boring cars. If one fell into my lap I would keep it and drive it until it was dead.

$4-5K "under book" sounds like a normal price for a Buick. How much $$$?

They don't seem to have any real problem areas from what I can see, they look to be rated pretty high in dependability. I had zero compalints about my Regal. [98] |

Badass car but don't do it in Michigan. The wheels are made of tin foil wife has 2012 touring so easy to bend the factory 19's and they are like $320 a tire to replace. She loved the car it is very peppy. 64K miles only thing replace besides wheels is the front catalytic converter it cracked right at the mounting flange changed under warranty. other than that great car.

My parents have one...they like it, but then again they are in their 70's. The target demographics for Buick.

Bought daughter a 2002 Lesabre while she was still in college from a buddy whose mom was entering the nursing home.
Bullet proof 3800 engine with 80k on it. She hated driving an "old persons car". Until nobody else's car would start in the cold - but hers. Until she got calls from friends to pick them up around town because their cars died. Until she did a lot of highway driving. Fast forward 8 years, another 80k - only thing into it has been pads, belt, battery, and oil changes. Loves the car, doesn't care what others think. |

Quality wise they are some of the least abysmal GM cars.
But they're still GM cars. |

Had a 12 Impala and just got a 15 Impala LTD, after my 12 was rear ended at a stoplight. Liked my 12 so much I got the 15. This is the GM sibling to the LaCrosse. My buddy has the LaCrosse and loves it.
The 3.6 is awesome. DOHC, multi port injection, VVT. 300 HP goes like hell 0-60 in 6 seconds. This the same engine in my next door neighbors caddy. 6 speed auto gets 30 plus mpg on the highway. I'm averaging just under 25 overall gas mileage which is awesome for a full size sedan. This is my 4th one from over the years and no real problems to mention. Great on the interstate, Bluetooth works great. Price sounds a little high for a 12 with that many miles. |

I have an 07 with the 3.6. It's got more pep under the hood than you would think but at the end of the day it's an old man car.

LaCrosse is a classy ride & you can probably speed with impunity. Do want.

LOL, same exact thing happened to me, when my parent got me a 79 Cadillac. I hated the thing, until it outlived every dam car around it. It was a brutal tank that lived for around 20 years. I miss it a lot. I do like the Buicks, they seem to last forever around here. |

Range not an issue, he did admit he got around 22-23 MPG driving it. That isn't much more then my Taco gets. |
