  • Who wouldve thought Id rather have a Buick? - 2002 Buick Regal
    By -

    Having never owned a GM car, I was not sure what to expect. Id done a lot of research and, for the value, the Buick Regal kept coming up. I found a beauty, a 2002 for $3,000. Looks and runs like new, great power, luscious leather interior (spotless), one of the finest sound systems Ive ever heard, hugs the road like a bear. I absolutely love this car. The only other car I loved this much was a 1974 Volvo that we put 360,000 miles on. I dont know if Ill get the same with the Regal, but I do know that maintenance is key to vehicle longevity. Well see!

    Ive driven many cars, but the 2002 Buick Regal LS is by far my favorite car i have driven so far. It is much more comfortable then Japanese cars, and sure goes alot more than it shows. I drove from Rhode Island to Montana in this car, and it revved strong at 2k at 70mph, ive had v8s that revved higher. Amazing gas mileage, only spent around $200 from RI to South Dakota, with gas around 3.50. Bought this car a year ago, at 3k with 115 thou. Something about American cars makes the ride better, foriegn cars dont have personalities like my Ford and Buick do, I love that thing, even though my gas gauge is broke and my odometer is gone, this car took me 2500 miles across our great nation.Buy USA

  • Second time around - 2002 Buick Regal

    I bought this very same new in Sept 2002 and kept it for 4 years and traded it for an 06 LaCrosse CXL which I trades in on an 08 Silverado LTZ. even thought 06 Buick had more features, it didnt pull the mountians or get the gas mileage the 2002 Regal GS did. This year we decided we would get a used car and I was searching the net. I found our old Buick at a dealership about 40 miles from here and it had less than 60K miles on it. It had aroudn 32K when I traded. The dealership had bought it at an auction, but the car was still in great shape. We missed car after getting the LacCross and are very happy we found it again. Great gas mileage, handling and power in a nice size car.

    This car is just right. Right size outside, easy to drive, maneuver, park and looks great in white. Right size inside with plenty of room, comfort and luxury for four adults. The car is just right for spirited driving because its invisible to law enforcement.

    I like this Buick Regal GS Supercharger very much. I have experienced some problems but overall love the car. One thing I have experienced is that when driving at night, when I put on my high beams all the lights on the dash and my head lights go out, I have to hit high beam switch again and all come back on, this has happened numerous times. Also, my Low Coolant light came on, I took to my garage and all was fine, reserve was low but not empty, radiator was full. The light stays on when I am driving saying low coolant, but all if fine, temp. gauge normal on this car stays in the middle. I really like this car.

    This car is the real deal. Great looking, comfortable, fuel efficient, very quick, and invisible to law enforcement (especially when painted senior citizen white). As a used car value, it cant be beat. It makes a lot more economic sense than other so called "sport sedans". Try it, youll definitely like it!

  • love a buick - 2002 Buick Regal

    This car is the ultimate in road driving and great in the city. I love the clean lines,the interior is a dream - friends who own BMWs, Lexus, Bentley and cadillacs are surprised how this car is so "smooth" in its ride both inner city with holes and on the road. My auto is fully loaded withe heated leather seats, roof, automatic lights, etc. No one believes this car was less than $30,000. I wont make the mistake again by leaving buicks.

    This is the first car Ive owned that wasnt a Toyota Camry. This car is BY FAR a better vehicle than the 1999 Camry I got rid of to buy this. I will NEVER go back to a Camry. This car is very comfortable, has power, mileage with this 6 cylinder is about the same as the Camrys 4 cylinder. You cant go wrong - Consumer Reports named this the most reliable car!!!!!

  • Great value for the money - 2002 Buick Regal
    By -

    Superb car! Tons of power, silky smooth ride, great looking. Very comfortable front seats long drives are no problem. Even the fuel economy isnt bad - Ive gotten as high as 31 MPG on the highway. FANTASTIC reliability. In 2 years and 40K miles, Ive had these problems: the fog light switch was defective and the rearview mirror fell off the windshield on a very hot summer day (both fixed under warranty) at 36K miles the front rotors were slightly warped ($80 repair). Thats it!
