This car is so comfortable, it's like being in your living room going down the road. They don't build them like this anymore that's for sure.

Critical Review
Buicks are beautiful on the show-room, but it ends about right there. Within 10 years, they will depreciate rapidly and it will get harder to find parts for them (since Buick will not keep GMAC parts ordered for vehicles that don't sell over so million in a single year, of which only 2 vehicles in their line ever have). More important, all those bells and whistles (the security features, self-leveling rear struts, etc.) are EXTREMELY expensive to upkeep, built to be handled at only the dealer level (I've had regular repair places refuse to change the battery for liability issues); after a few short years, your security ignition delay will stop igniting entirely and the rear strut motor will cost more to replace than the car is even worth.--- Do yourself a favor... leave the Buick on the show-room floor, the only place that it's worth anything.

Dependable and safe.
needs a little work as described.
Car is in excellent condition...no rust no torn leather seats. It looks like new. It has a leak between anti freeze and little oil. Was told to fix it properly would be $1000.00 Also has service lite on always. Catalytic converter makes noise. If someone wants to put 1000 - 1500 in the car I would say do it. Car ALWAYS starts. Has pick up and go. Has a 3800 motor.
Almost 20 years old and it still turns heads. Small issues never more than a couple hundred dollars
I bought this car in 2001 with 36,000 miles on the engine. All work that was done on my car since I bought it is documented. The only rust on this car is on the gas door. I attribute that to the only part on this car that was not painted asit should have been.
