After the late 70's discontinuation of import tarrifs, the degree of car market competition increased dramatically. Consequently, twenty years later, this Buick's subtle synergistic improvements go unnoticed by most shoppers open to purcahsing domestic vehicles.

Thanks for what is definitely among the most informative 1997 Buick Regal videos. I learned a few things. It goes to show the updated Century platform in comparison to the older Century platform is light years ahead in Body Control Module technology. Although I like the older prior gernation body, the planning and development it's based upon dates back to the late 70s computer aided designs. It stimply doesn't have the BCM technolgy or strutural ridigity of the more robotically manufactured 1997 Regal. While certain aspects of 80s robotics were still in their infancy following GM's Fisher Body Division departure, by 1997 forward leaps in technology likely make for a unique Buick Regal ownership experiience.

I didn't get a transmitter when I bought my 1997 LeSabre. I have to use a key to open and lock the doors.

I just bought a 1997 LeSabre Limited with 125k miles. Adriatic blue with blue velour interior. AZ car so no rust. Of course it has a few issues I need to work on, but not much.

The only noise in my 1997 LeSabre comes from the driver's door panel. When I press the panel, the noise stops. I suspect a door panel clip is broken or missing. This is a fantastic video. I wish similar videos were available for all cars.

Lord, how has life led me here?

Engineers put mics on a dummy in the seats, and added insulation or laminates. I do think the laminate door windows make a difference in my Lucerne.

It makes me wonder how Many of those dealers on the Royal Purple Council still exist or if they all got gobbled up by the national dealership conglomerates that are so prevalent today.

If only they could have put the turbo 3.8 V6 engine in it to send it off with a bang a Buick engine in a Buick !

what about throwing 4x4 something something?/ what was that he said?

Spoiler alert! The initiative failed miserably.

My 1993 buick century is just shy of 400.000 miles! Original 3.3 engine and transmission 😮 January 6 2025.

If ever a competitor that 4.6L was it, but the Camry was probably the chief competitor in alota ways. The 00/01 camrys were very good in 6cyl. Great years for cars. They made them too good. Now people keep going back to those cars for reliability. The 3800 series wins against both cars. The engine over fords slightly and the body over camry and ford slightly. But Toyotas engine is tied with LaSabre in my view. Also GM wins with body durability and engine bay room by far. Ease of repair and maintenance goes to GM in the LaSabre over ford or Toyota in the early 2000’s. Looks have to go to LaSabre.

Some Oscar-winning dialogue and acting here.

I STILL haven't forgiven Buick/GM for discontinuing the LeSabre!!!

I always make sure to have at least one Buick in my garage.

I bought a Black 2008 Lucerne 3.800 CXL Special Edition with heated steering wheel and heated memory seats with turn signal indicators in side view mirrors! Just learned about the Buick Quiet tuning. It’s leather everywhere!! Rides like you’re on water.

Very informative. Thank you for sharing these old educational videos.

The year I was born…

BOTH BUICK SEDANS AND GRAND MARQUIS AND LINCOLN CONTINENTAL GREAT GREAT VEHICLES AND CHEVY IMPALA....AS WELL 😮😮😮😮😮😮

No sedans anymore. That's the problem.

2:29 this is why this engine is so famous

35 years ago. Doesn't seem possible ⌛️

I have 2 of these cars...I really like the big mirrors and ample back view ..they are an important asset and the back space very generous

Wouldn’t you really rather have a Buick? Yes, but without the Northstar. Could have been a reliable, world-class engine if not for the GM bean counters. Just like the disastrous HT4100.

This channel is so good. No sex, no drama, no violence. Just Buick, no strings attached

Sadly Northstar had so many issues

13:21 and those were borrowed right off of the Lucerne, same part number and Everything! (They are now NLA from GM, but the 6 cylinder version is still available brand new!)

Look at the guy talking about a rear view mirror while wearing a tie like he's preaching to a congregation or something. Wild.

oh man. it seems like they really wanted their regal gs and ultra customers to upgrade lmao

Interesting video, I just bought one of these cars for $1000

That bit about the trunk in the Town Car is worthy of an Emmy.

One of the best Buicks ever made .

My new car window regulator tape doesn't unravel into a loop like the video but does a layering act first the converts to the loop when unraveling as glass is going up.Would you say the tape is defective?.

Even to this day i love my 3800s❤❤ And have an 04 Dale Jr supercharged Monte Carlo SS L67. Still want an 85-90 red on red Electra. Growing up born in 89 my grandfather had a beautiful red on red every option including digital gauges 86 Park Avenue. I loved that car growing up. Being an 86 it was the red dot 3.8

Once they abandoned the full-size market they would never get it back.

I have a gorgeous red with white landau top and burgundy interior 1991 model, which is largely unchanged. 56k miles

3:24 Didn't think Chuck was a Doobie Brothers fan

13:29 the wild part is that toll free hotline IS STILL BEING USED By Buick over 30 years later!

I have one - I think is a good car - I like the Model and the style - By haven't been able to figure out - how To open the back seats windows - it seems They forgot about This important detail when they made the car - And put them out in the market as RECALLED cars? A horrible mistake - not safe.

I'm still driving the '97 I bought 19 years ago, just hit 150,000 miles... A few mods of the intake, larger exhaust downpipe, and 3 more PSI with a 3.5-in supercharger pulley, and she pulls from low revs like a Rocket 350 V8!

This is the first I've ever heard about the radio station and climate control settings being added to the memory seat and mirror module. Tis a pity they canceled the car mid-year...

Wow Buick had some balls in the 90s. They really came for Cadillac

I love your channel and I’ve been watching your videos for years, but is there a channel where I can find these type of videos for Cadillac and Oldsmobile?

This was my first car. I wish I still had it 😭

as far as a 2000s car goes its pretty good. still would prefer something less this-millennium.
