My dad had one and gave it to my cousin so he could have a car through high school/college. Kid supercharged it and lowered it and it absolutely ripped. Great car
Hey nicely done review! Smart and straightforward. Like how you acknowledge this car's strengths as well as weaknesses. Friend of mine has an 03 LeSabre and a 201? BMW Z4. Any time he has to drive more than 100 miles anywhere he drives the Buick.
gotta love an old school buick that granda couch on wheels, hood certified!!!!! with the interior smelling like old lady perfume and bengay, and full of love gotta tell it like it is, you missed those points in your review hahahhaha
We just bought a 2005 Buick Le Sabre Limited Celebration Edition in the cashmere gold color that's in mint condition. You couldn't give me a new car today with the CVT transmissions! You did an excellent job reviewing this car. Thank you.
I had a 2005 Buick Lesabre Custom with the 3.8L. It was the best car. I ever owned. I wish I would never have sold it when it hit 200,000 miles. It got 27-28 mpg. The only money I ever stuck into it was at 175,000 miles the blower motor in the cab went out ($110) and the cord for the engine block heater went bad ($30).
I’m just about to get this exact car. I found one with 138k miles for about $2,000 and I figure it’ll more than likely last me the rest of my life. I don’t go far very often, in the past 8 years I have owned 5 cars and only driven a total of about 80k miles in total. The only car that has lasted was a Honda Civic that I bought a few years back. But I’m going to get this good old beast.
The most beautiful car ever made! I'm partial because I love my 03 sabre..... 😆 I have a custom but just bought new chrome 16inch item's for mine too. They look tons better then the snowflake design it came with. Smooth ride with the best 3800v6 ever made. This limited is just beautiful!! Loaded, sporty and sexy!
I just paid 1500 for mine. 98k 1 owner car yahoo very happy and thankful that the old man who owned it took good care of her. I feel like it's a new car
Guy acts like 2004 is retro like the 1970s or something. I was driving 1980s cars well into the late 2000s. Ford made bench seat cars until 2011. As far as nostalgia, this Buick had alot of features that many car owners wouldn't see standard until after 2010. The HUD is an example of something you still don't see in many production cars.
Simple features? It took cars until like 2014 to catch up to all the features that were on this Buick. Hell, even my 97 Buick Riviera had most of these features. This car was loaded in terms of "stuff". Modern infotainment is the only thing that's missing unless you want to count cross traffic alert or something like that. Even today, in 2019, a lot of the features that are on this 2004 Buick are optional. A lot of the stuff was available in the year 2000. Just think about that that's 19 years ago. The only thing that has really Advanced is some safety features and infotainment. We basically still have the same stuff today but this car back then was loaded in terms of features. Lots of GM cars like Buick, Cadillac and even Oldsmobile always worth ahead of the curve when it came to technology. Sorry, it just sort of slightly annoyed me that someone would think that these features were "basic".
Besides that you can easily pay someone to install a modern touch screen stereo with Apple car play and Bluetooth capabilities and you got yourself a pretty modern car. That’s what I’m gonna do for my 2002 Lesabre
The lesabre and park avenue were basically the same car. Same 3.8 v6 engine and just about everything else but the park avenue was available with the supercharged 3.8. The lesabre wasn't. The century was a different car compared to the lesabre and park avenue. The century was slightly smaller and the only engine choose was the 3.1 v6 engine
BrendenAerosmith Farr wrong they all came with a 3.8 option and we're all the same platform Grand Prix LeSabre centery regal same car different body panels and inside I owed multiple of each and you could get a SC in any one of them as a option
@@davesummerville6500 the Lesabre, Park Ave, and Boneville were all built on the H platform. It’s a Cadillac chassis. Those 3 cars were only available with the 3.8. The Grand Prix , Regal and Century were all built on the W body platform. The century was only available with the 3.1. The Regal was only available with the 3.8, and the Grand Prix was available with the 3.1 or 3.8
@@chanceberg832 the 3800 series 2 will outlast the 3100 by a long stretch. Don’t get me wrong the 3100 is a great motor. But you’ll be doing intake manifold/head gaskets on it way before you’ll have to do the same job on a 3800. You also get better MPG with the 3800 somehow
$10 000 for a 2004 lesabre, that's too much for a vehicle for that age. My grandparents bought a 2005 lesabre for $1000 but the only difference was it had around 190 000 miles when they bought it
Someone i knew That worked with me Had a blue 1, She claimes to never have done a oil change and Battery, Her Engine Dismantled, Funny thing is the Exterior was Kind of new.
John Doe I know several people with LeSabre built from 1992 - 2005 and the only real problems they've ever had is with the window regulators. They've all been bulletproof reliable in other areas such as with the 3800 engine and 4T65E trans, GM knew how to build a Powertrain in these cars right at home in Hamtramck, Michigan.
@@hakeemsd70m Amen! My 2003 custom I just bought, I just replaced the drivers regulator and the plastic coolant elbows, replaced with the aluminum ones. 80,000 miles and gave it a complete tune-up, (wires, plugs, air and fuel filter, trans filter and fluid, (also dumped a bottle of lubegard synthetic additive in with the atf), frt. hubs, frt. motor mount, coolant flush ( with GREEN coolant) thermostat, surprising enough, the dreaded plastic plenum is not leaking nor is lower manifold! This car is cross country ready and floats on air! Beautiful ride! Love my lesabre!!!!
Too bad the interior has a lot of typical GM cheapness. It's so obvious to see where they cut corners. I wonder if the older ones (pre-97) had better interior quality?
if you look at my picture that's when my 05 hit 200,000 miles now it's at 208,800 never had a single issue just changed fluids and put new tires on every 50,000 miles best car I ever owned (I'm 48 years old by the way) and now I'm looking for a more loaded one with low miles but definitely will not quit driving the one I currently own
I’d rather drive a car like this than any new car out today
I absolutely agree because with this car you know it will last
BS
