  • This isnt Your Grandmas Car! - 2001 Buick LeSabre
    By -

    The only time I really replace a car is when theres an accident, or in 1 case, stolen. So, after my brother smashed my Oldsmobile, I went to my local GM dealership, and bought a 2001 Buick LeSabre. This is beautiful car to look at. The body is in great shape, no rust or dings. The interior is nice, and comfortable. The stereo is thumping. I have the Concert Series II. It really puts out a big sound. Definitely not for Grandma. I get great mileage for a big car. I get 31 miles highway, and 25 city. Thats important now that gas is over $3 a gallon. This car is comfortable for passengers. It will fit 5 adults comfortably. I have a remote starter, for cold and snowy Minnesota days.

    Have enjoyed this car fully. Gives good gas mileage and is confortable to travel in. Nice color to keep clean. Leather interior which is easy to clean also. Large trunk space and tires are two years old. Tape deck and CD player along with radio. Heated seats and heated window mirrors.

  • A good Buick LaSabre - 2001 Buick LeSabre

    My 2001 Buick LaSabre has been a trouble free car and very reliable. It has given me a pleasant comfortable ride. My next car will certainly be a Buick.

  • Pretty satisfied - 2001 Buick LeSabre
    By -

    Ive owned my LeSabre since it was brand new. I purchased one due to the fact that my mom also owned one and has been very satisified. Ive also been very happy with mine. The only complaint I have is that the ABS light comes on, and I was told the whole component in the wheel hub needs to be replaced at my Buick dealership. It cost about $517.00. I dont feel that this should have gone so soon, since that light went on a week after I got the car. I think that they need to improve their ABS system since my moms car has had the same problem from the time it was new and hers is a earlier model. Theyre great, roomy, comfortable, and for the most part very reliable, but pricey to repair.

  • So far, so great - 2001 Buick LeSabre
    By -

    Bought this car Sept 2004. 8 months later, and no problems yet. Has only been in shop for routine maintenance. Roomy. Good acceleration. Nice understated looks. Decent sound system, and good handling for a big car round out a very nice package! LeSabres devalue quickly, so they make an excellent used car buy.

  • Flagship Quality at fair price. - 2001 Buick LeSabre
    By -

    Proven reliability of the 3.8 liter engine with absolutely top shelf appointments. Why buy Cadillac with their history of seemingly endless engine problems when a top flight Buick gives you all the same creature comforts AND reliability. City or highway this car is first class luxury all the way!

  • Never Again - 2001 Buick LeSabre
    By -

    Having driven GM cars for over 30 years this is the worst vehicle I have ever owned. Transmission, Power Steering Pump/A/C Compressor/Steering Column/Tie rods/Wheel Bearings/Now ABS & Traction Light is on. Only redeeming features are a fairly solid engine and good gas ecomomy. Buyer Beware!

    This is my wifes car, she uses it for daily travel in her occupation as an insurance adjustor. Car has been entirely trouble free for over 70000 miles, not even any warranty work. Replacement of original tires at 65000 miles has been the only expense, except regular maintenance.

  • Its the little things - 2001 Buick LeSabre
    By -

    We had at least 8 little things go bad and 2 major. Lucky none shut us down or failed that left us stranded. Got to the point that it was going to need tires, brakes and needed confidence.Dealer was getting pushy about unnecessary service versus manual recommendations.

  • Good to go - 2001 Buick LeSabre
    By -

    I love my car it looks pretty it is white with tinted windows and I had my stock rims chromed. There is always room for improvement and that would be the extra phone charger outlet keeps breaking. I have had my car for one year and have had not one problem except for the charger outlet. I wished there were air vents for the people in the back seat like some other cars have.
