Up for auction is a 2005 Buick LeSabre Custom Sedan with 160,977 highway miles that was used regularly as a vehicle for long distance trips between Long Island, NY and the Washington, DC area. It's a very reliable vehicle that has been well maintained, was a non-smoker car and always garage kept. The car comes equipped with a 4-speed automatic transmission, heated leather seats, traction control, CD stereo and full interior power features. It has the Cashmere (dark tan) exterior and tan interior that are a great color combo. I inherited the car from my late Aunt Susan's estate, as she sadly passed away earlier this year from a prolonged battle with breast cancer. Title is in now in my name after being transferred to me through probate. I am selling the vehicle because I have no need for a second vehicle (simply don't drive enough miles to justify it). However, I've had it checked out by a trusted local mechanic and have also been driving it twice a week to ensure it's being run regularly. The condition is described below in detail based on what I know. Condition Report This car was well maintained by my Aunt due to her regular long trips to DC as she did not want to get stuck on the highway with a breakdown. We were very close and talked about a lot of her trips. I only wish I could find the service records for you, not sure where they were kept. Anyway, this LeSabre looks great for being 8 years of age and the body is in fantastic shape, as I mentioned it was garage kept it's entire life. The 3800 (3.8L) V6 motor is strong and powerful. If you do any research on this car, you'll find that this motor is one of the best that GM has ever made and commonly runs for 300,000+ miles as long as the oil and engine coolant are changed at normal intervals. The car starts up effortlessly every time and the transmission shifts smoothly. The heater heats the car up quickly and the A/C blows ice cold. The battery is still going strong (it's a long life battery so should be good for a few more years). The EPA estimates the mileage at 18 mpg city/28 mpg highway. I have been getting 25 mpg in mixed highway and local driving. Below, I am fully disclosing everything I observed visually on the interior and exterior of the car: On the exterior, the Cashmere paint is in very good condition, with less than normal wear for its age, which means there are a some very minor exterior scratches but no dings or damage of any consequence. There isn’t any visible rust on the body either. The paint is likewise very glossy over the entire body. The undercarriage is clean and in great condition and this car does not have any fluid drips or leaks underneath. The tires all have good remaining tread life (20%+), however, one of the rear tires is non-matching (General tire). All are size P215/70R15s. On the interior, the tan front seats are still in very good shape with no holes or tears and only normal wear, as you will see in the pictures. The rear seats are in excellent condition and hardly look worn at all. All of the trim panels and trim pieces are intact, tight and in great condition. Driver's seat occasionally shifts ever so slightly on tight cornering but is hardly noticeable - may need bolt tightened. The steering wheel looks good with only minor wear and a few tiny scratches on a few the steering wheel control buttons. All electronics, lighting, mirrors, windows, interior buttons and switches are functioning properly except for the driver's heated seat button which is not working - passenger side heated seat is fine. I don't have an estimate on getting the switch repaired but can't imagine it would be costly, anyway you won't need it for awhile going into Summer. Also, the gauges all work except for the tachometer (RPM gauge). It's basically useless on an automatic and I remember my Aunt saying it pegged out after her factory warranty expired and she never thought it was worth repairing. If it bothers you my mechanic advised the entire instrument cluster can be sent out for repair at $125 parts and 1 hours of labor to remove and re-install the cluster, so ~ $200 fix. All fluids are in good shape, nothing needs to be replaced for awhile. I just had the oil and filter changed so it's good to go for another 3000+ miles. Front brakes have 5 mm on the pads and 4 mm on the rear brakes, so you are good there. Rear shocks need to be done soon, but you're OK driving for now. Incidentally they are air shocks but Monroe makes a conversion kit. I can show you where to get the kit for $110 and then you would just need to pay labor, unless you can do the work yourself. The floor mats are original and clean with normal wear. The trunk area is likewise in good condition (see photo) and the spare tire, jack and accessories are all there. Two factory keys and one fully functional remote are included along with the original owner's and maintenance manuals in the glove box. If you want a second remote, they are going for as low as $15 used in good condition on eBay and you can get it programmed by an automotive locksmith for $50 (have done this with several cars that don't have on-board programming). After I got the new title and registration, just had the car pass NJ inspection. NJ inspection sticker good through May 2015 and it's ready to drive away. I would not hesitate to drive this car anywhere, it's that solid. Will you get a great deal on this LeSabre?
