I used to have a 1998 Park Ave, basically the same car with a little sharper styling. Absolutely loved that car! Comfy, roomy, got almost 30mpg. It wasn’t lighting, but it wasn’t slow either. And it was super normal for them to see 300k miles with very few problems.

[@jmflyer55]

Ive had 3 of these and a few other great Buicks. Current Buick is an 03 LeSabre. Had the 98(?) Park Avenue. And my favorite, a 1984 full size, rear wheel drive LeSabre I bought from the original owner with only 40,000 miles on it, in immaculate condition. Although I personally have always preferred the original BIG Lesabre's, pre front wheel drive, ALL of them including the 03 have been great vehicles. For younger adults, I can see them liking the newer 90's and 2000's, 3800 engine, front wheel drive versions. But because I'm an old fart now, I was driving back when the full sized vehicles were the norm. A fourth Buick I owned was the 1970 Buick Electra 225. Near 20 feet long, with V8 engine, (the 401 cubic inch 'nailhead') and Turbo 400 transmission pushing over 325HP to the rear wheels. And then last but not least, my 1986 Grand National I bought new from the dealer. 🙂👍👍👍 Buicks have always made a great and luxurious vehicles. While people have always loved to say, "Oh, thats just a Chevy, with fancy stuff in it, with Buick emblems slapped on it".... That was the big saying back in the day. All I can still say to that is what I said way back then. "You've obviously never owned a Buick"! One of the very few cars I ever really wanted, but didn't get, was the 1965 Buick Riviera Gran Sport. And I STILL regret it to this day! At my age now, AND the absolutely ridiculous prices they're getting for them now, it's one car I'll never get to own at this point! I had a chance in 1984 to buy one in beautiful condition, and I passed on it thinking I'd but the next one that came along, and that wasn't maroon. But it went on the back burner, I bought a Mustang fastback instead, and the opportunity didn't come back around again, until I had to much going on to be able to buy it! So, let that be a piece of advise for some young person out there! Lol When a rare, or good opportunity presents itself to purchase a good collectible, don't pass it up thinking you'll just buy the "next one". Since there may not be a "next one" or, when there is, it'll be at a time when you've got other commitments that take priority over buying another car. All that being said, I shouldnt complain, since I've owned and driven over 45 cars, many being sought after collectibles, some purchased brand new. Like my 86 Buick Grand National. (Should've never sold that one!)

[@doodbro931]

It's essentially the budget and gas friendly version of the Lincoln Town Car

My grandfather always had a LeSabre and would trade them out at 100k miles for a new one every two years. I remember going on road trips with him to his cottage growing up. Currently, I am in need of a second car, just a commuter and not much more and there have been TONS of these coming up for sale with people passing away, most of them have around 25k-110k miles and $3,500-10,000. Honestly, I think it is a not only a great car for someone starting out as a first car, but also for someone just needing an extra car and now is a great time to get one.

My first car was a 2000 Buick Century. It was a very nice car. I only had a few minor problems due to age but no problems with the engine or transmission. It didn’t have the 3800 engine, but it did have the 3100 engine which never gave me a problem. I was a bit boaty and it wasn’t very fast, but it was very comfortable and quiet and very reliable.

The early eighties 3.8 L Buicks had timing chain that would break but usually that was well into the 120,000 Mi range. Back then didn't have the tensioners on them like they do today plus the cars they were all in weighed 4000 lb 😂
