  First car Ive owned that I Love - 1998 Buick LeSabre
  By cluchs8 - April 12 - 11:59 am

  I bought my car with 140k miles and fixed brake lines (400) and valve cover gasket (150)leaks. The serpentine belt has started to squeak, but it doesnt matter, because the factory stereo is incredible for a 98. I love the ride, Its supple yet competent, more so than I expected from a boat. The torque and passing power is actually pretty impressive for the HP output. It wafts from 40-75 like its nothing, and with cruise on at 60 i get 29 mpg. I get about 17-20 in the city,and its awesome on snow w/ all seasons. I feel safer in it than i do my 2010 dodge ram. brakes dont really cut it, you have to pay attention, sudden stops arent its favorite.I named mine Victor.Best grand i ever spent

  Most comfortable car in the world.....at a price - 1998 Buick LeSabre
  By bigboatlover - April 16 - 10:24 pm

  I bought the car with 218000kms, fully loaded and aside from some surface rust on the usual LeSabre spots(near rocker panels) the car was immaculate. Now the car is at 236000km and the car has giving me the following grief: starter, left ball joint, serpentine belt, belt tensioner, and now a main seal oil leak at 236000kms! The car is worth the same at the repair job for the oil leak, im sorry by in 18000kms I have shoveled way too much into this car, the car has given me too much trouble after being perfectly fine 9 months ago.

  A great car for the money - 1998 Buick LeSabre
  By Terrific Automobile - August 29 - 3:15 pm

  I purchased this car from a BMW dealer who had taken it as a trade in for a new BMW from a older lady. When I purchased it, it only had 27,000 miles. It now has just under 90,000 miles and has never had a major problem. It gets fantastic mileage. On one road trop to Branson I average nearly 34 miles to the gallon. It uses regular unleaded and yet has great performance. It has sleek styling, great comfort, and the luxuary touches you would expect from a much more expensive make. I would recomend this car to anyone seeking a reliable car, at an affordable price, with good performance and great gas mileage. I would definitely buy another Le Sabre. No wonder they hold their value so well.

  i cannot complain - 1998 Buick LeSabre
  By love_my_lesabre - September 24 - 3:58 am

  i bought this car 3 yeas and 8 months ago. it was used and had a little over 100,000 miles on it. i presently have over 153,000 miles on it. since i have owned it, i had replaced the brake shoes, air filter a few times, tires, have yet to tune it up but it is getting to the point where it could benefit from new plugs. it still gets decent gas mileage, when i first got it, i got 29-30 mpg, now probably about 28mpg on hwy. i am looking for another one and keep this one as a spare car. i hope my next lesabre is as reliable as this one has been.

  Luv my buick - 1998 Buick LeSabre
  By desertjaws - July 8 - 11:17 am

  This is probably one of the best cars I have ever owned and my first Buick (1998). Had 57K miles when purchased (2005), currently has 135K miles. Has not been completely problem free but any problems have been minor. I do love this car and will purchase another soon.

  The best for the money - 1998 Buick LeSabre
  By NYDogBoy - August 24 - 7:46 pm

  This is a problem-free car. In the past 8 years all Ive done is replace two tires, and the typical brake and oil change stuff. I get 26-28 mpg hwy, overall about 23.5. Plus, this is a gutsy car. We cruise about 70mph and have plenty left for passing. The 3.8 engine is one of the best engines ever designed. The features on the Ltd. are outstanding auto-dimming mirrors, suto headlight, outside temp, keyless entry, and many other features. I cant imagine a time when I will get rid of this ten year old car.

  Great Road Car - 1998 Buick LeSabre
  By SMT - May 8 - 2:00 am

  After a recent 1,500 mile trip in two days, I can honestly say my husband and I were very comfortable the entire trip. Noticed another review for this model regarding losing coolant. Caveat, my son (an auto tech by trade) installed a new upper manifold in ours, specifically to PREVENT a future inherent problem with the coolant leaking into the engine. Buick corrected this problem in 1999 by installing both upper and lower manifolds. Like the car a lot!
