@@malcomM96 I agree. To make them a good engine you need to completely tear them down and machine the block to accept new head bolts. Northstar Performance is a company that was formed solely to improve the Northstar engines. Without this modification the original bolts would strip out the block if you allowed the slightest amount of coolant to leak out, and they were prone to leaking.

I have an '08 CXL Lucerne w/3.8 and regular, not air ride, and has only 32k on it. I would never buy a car with a Northstar engine. Those are just not reliable and expensive to work on. Except for the mediocre mpg's, I love it. All GMs with Lane Departure cameras have issues with the modules. My Buick has had 3 of them die. I'm not replacing it again.

Yeah I’ve got the Buick Lucerne cxl and my coworkers got a 2005 Cadillac Deville. He’s got those lights on his mirror. I however, do not.

@@ArthurMorgan-pq4tr The mirror just reflects light, so it will only display a Cadillac DTS if one is physically present.

Same cylinders and smaller engine but the Avalon has almost the same power as Lucerne V8 smh

Toyota is more reliable then Buick.

The Buick comes with a better warranty because it's designed to EXPIRE just after it's warranty is past!

@@bluwng Not without a whole lot of work after 200K. DexCool did nasty things to those engines. Anyone I've ever known had to do lower intake gaskets which got quite expensive given the value of the car when the repair was needed. My 2000 Buick Regal had 240K kilometers (162K mi.) and it was well looked after. When I got rid of it at 240 it was burning oil and coolant with an obvious blue/grey smoke for the first 30 seconds of startup. The GMC Sierra I had afterward also used DexCool but the engine was unaffected by its coolant
