First off, we'll start with the back story! We've owned it since March 2011, it ran perfectly for the first 2 years, but more recently we've had quite a few repairs totaling over $3,000 to hopefully get it going for another 100,000 miles. Had a new Radiator installed, New Water Pump, New Starter, New Plenum, New Control Arms w/bushings, A few New Belts & Hoses, New Floor Mats, New Goodyear "Eagle RX" Tires that currently have only about 1,000 miles on them, and probably a few other things. All parts were NEW, not refurbished or salvaged and we wouldn't have spent this much money if we didn't expect to keep it..... BUT, a few days after a trip to Long Beach at the beginning of February we noticed a sputter (misfire) and the engine had lost a lot of power. Had it towed to the dealership and they said: QUOTE FROM SERVICE PAPER - "CHECK/ADVISE ENGINE RUNNING VERY POORLY? FOUND 80% LEAK DOWN PASSED RINGS & EXHAUST VALVE. LOTS OF MILES CYL HEAD NOT A LASTING FIX, CUSTOMER DECLINED REPAIRS. RECOMMENDED TRADE IN". Why we declined repairs?? Because their "repair" was to replace the engine at a cost of approx. $5,000 instead of fixing all the little things! This is a great car and I firmly believe that if you are mechanically minded, you can have it running again with little more than time committed. For us to pay someone for their time at $100+ an hour just isn't feasible though. They said for a few hundred Dollars they could have it driving again for another few months, but it would just need something else after that. :-( The car has a beautiful bronze metallic paint with chrome rims that were part of Buick's "performance package" though two "cover caps" are missing. It's fully loaded with almost every option this model year offered, including: Twilight Sentinel (light sensor auto dimming for instrument panel lights & headlights), (though it doesn't work all the time), Power Seats & Power Lumbar, 2-Driver Memory Seats & Mirrors, Remote Trunk Release and Trunk Lockout, Anti-Theft Alarm, Power Windows (right side back seat window not working), Tilt Wheel, Electronic Day/Night Rear-view Mirror w/Compass, Illuminated Visor Vanity Mirrors w/ Dual Sun Visors, 3 Auxiliary Power Outlets, Front Center Console with rear seat Air Vents, HomeLink Garage Door Opener, Computerized Driver Information Center which is on the blink, Dual Climate Controls, Steering Wheel Controls, AM-FM Stereo w/cassette & CD Player with automatic tone control, Cabin air filtration, Theater Dimming Lights, and probably a few other things. I'm even including for the winning bidder a few extras that belong to the car, like a dashboard cover, a spare set of floor mats, an extra bottle of brake fluid, bottle of antifreeze, spare light bulbs, etc. And of course all of the service papers & receipts. This has always been a So-Cal car and was never in an accident or flood! Now for the bad stuff, obviously the engine is in need of repair, having been left alone for a few weeks the battery is dead, so it will have to be towed away. There is a chip in one tail light, the steering wheel shows wear (like someone was scratching at the top), there is a crack to the leather in the drivers seat (though I have tried my best to make them supple again), a couple light "shopping cart" dents & a scratched bit of paint to the bumper in front of the front tire on the drivers side (see photos), and the drivers side vanity mirror broke off somehow, but is included. You can just use the additional dual visor though! Anyway, the car is being sold "AS-IS" with no warranties expressed or implied. We welcome anyone who wants to see this LaSabre and since we work from home the time would be at your convenience.
