  Great - 1999 Buick LeSabre
  By Nany - October 24 - 12:52 pm

  I got this as my first car when I turned 18 (which was 4 years ago) and at over 207,000 miles its still going strong. Ive never had any problems, Ive never been left stranded. The only thing Ive had to repair is the gas pump and minor details. The car is not the best looking but for the year it was made this car is great

  Think Buick - 1999 Buick LeSabre
  By johnasazi - January 28 - 7:51 pm

  The best gas mileage for a car of this size! The gas mileage is better than my sisters Chevrolet Cavalier! Although the styling and seating may seem outdated, this is a great find! If you are looking for a car that has plenty of room for passengers and their cargo, this is the car. It is not meant to be a "fun handling" car. It is meant to be a very comfortable way to get from place to place with a minimum of disruption, which is quite important to some of us who refuse to drive like we are in a NASCAR race! See the Buick" emblem, and leave us alone.

  Stogie, but American and Great buy - 1999 Buick LeSabre
  By comfortable reliable - August 10 - 1:14 pm

  Paid $15,000 in 2000. Replaced transmission at 252,000. Now has 310,000. Yep!310,000 miles on engine that has had one ignition coil and two sets of plugs and plug wires. Just made a 500 mile round trip to NC mountains and MPG was 32.8. I double checked it twice. It is not unusual to top 30 MPG on trips. Bad mouth it all you want and I will smile and wave as I go buy at 70 MPH and 30+ MPG.Most reliable car I have ever Had.

  225k miles and runs like day 1 - 1999 Buick LeSabre
  By RJR - May 20 - 8:37 am

  Ive had this vehicle from inception and only given it the routine maintenance. Regular oil changes, tire rotations and a fresh tune up every 100k miles. I had the belts and hoses checked at 215k miles and all looked fine (all original). The interior has begun to show some age, but with the vehicle running so well and averaging ~27 MPG mix between highway and city, I continue to be pleased with the vehicle. I have aspirations of running this car beyond 300k miles.

  One of my favorite cars - 1999 Buick LeSabre
  By Eveland - November 3 - 4:25 pm

  This is a very simple car. It goes up and down the road and is very comfortable. Its not a quick or a new car but its reliable and its cheap. I found that you can eliminate most of the road noise that you get with a good set of tires. Its easily one of the best cars Ive owned for taking trips.

  188K & still strong!! - 1999 Buick LeSabre
  By my4thBuick - June 16 - 8:35 pm

  Yah... Its not the most stylish car! But I drive 30,000 miles/ year & my lesabre hasnt stuck me once. Great mileage for a lead sled & comfy. Its got over 188,000 miles & I just replace the original starter. Just starting to develop an intermittent miss. If you dont care about style... & you can pick one up.... go for it. And remember, ANY car can be a lemon!

  Great first car - 1999 Buick LeSabre
  By schmidtkramer - July 16 - 12:27 am

  My dad bought this car about four years ago and I loved it right away. Eventually passed it on to me about 6 mos ago and have had few to no problems other than routine maintanance. At 161,000 miles it still drives good but starting to show signs of age but I think it can last another 10-15k miles. Until I can get a new car

  The Plenum theory, a story of an intake - 1999 Buick LeSabre
  By tony b - August 28 - 12:58 pm

  I have put on 40,000 miles since buying this car. No problems, great ride etc, except two weeks ago I became stranded because of the plenum burned out and coolant was logged in the lower intake causing the piston to stop thus stopping my car in the middle of nowhere. I had to walk for miles before a gentleman stopped and offered me a ride. Why was this part (egr) made of plastic and not metal...to save $.20 on each one? Now its going to cost me over $600. to repair it.. Good engineering. One thing is for sure and that is I will stick with Japanese cars..My last was an Acura and I sold it at 181,000.miles.
