2000 Buick Lesabre Limited Sedan Car 4-door 3.8l Leather New Tires Loaded As-is on 2040-cars
Hemet, California, United States
Hello & Welcome! Up for auction is my AS-IS Bronze 2000 Buick LeSabre Limited that is nearly fully loaded and looks great. 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 Matts, 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 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 LSTING 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! 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. 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), Power Seats & Power Lumbar, 2-Driver Memory Seats & Mirrors, Remote Trunk Release and Trunk Lockout, Anti-Theft Alarm, Power Windows, Tilt Wheel, Electronic Day/Night Rearview 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, 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. Think this has always been a So-Cal car and don't believe it was ever in an accident or flood. Now for the bad stuff, obviously the engine is in need of repair, having been left alone for a couple weeks the battery is dead, 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. Please contact us with any questions through the eBay "Ask Seller a Question" button & we'll get back to you as soon as possible (usually less than a few hours). We live in Hemet, CA, not far from Palm Springs & Temecula. Thank you for Looking! |

2018 Buick Regal's base price is almost $2,500 cheaper than last year's
Wed, Jul 19 2017Along with the launch of the Buick Regal GS, Buick released official pricing for all three versions of the Regal, and they're very competitively priced, especially the Sportback. The part-sedan, part-hatch Regal Sportback starts at just $25,915. That's more than $2,000 cheaper than the previous generation 2017 Buick Regal sedan, which started at $28,385. Along with the savings in cost comes a standard turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder making 250 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque - 295 pound-feet with optional all-wheel drive. That's a significant step up from the standard naturally aspirated engine in the previous-generation Regal that makes just 182 horsepower and 172 pound-feet of torque. The new Regal's hatch also provides more flexibility for loading cargo, and the cargo space expands from 14.2 cubic feet in the old model to 31.5. View 12 Photos The TourX wagon, or crossover depending on your opinion, comes with a $4,000 premium over the Sportback, with a base price of $29,995, matching what was revealed last month. It gains only about an extra cubic foot behind the rear seats, but with the seats folded, it has 73.5 cubic feet to play with. It also comes with standard all-wheel drive and the engine with 295 pound-feet of torque. Plus, it has the added ride height and plastic body cladding that gives it the same trendy look shared with the Subaru Outback, Volvo V60 Cross Country, and Audi A4 Allroad. It is a few thousand more than the Outback, but it undercuts the Volvo by roughly $10,000 and the Audi by almost $15,000. Then, for performance, there's the Regal GS. It starts at $39,990 and has a 310-horsepower V6 and standard all-wheel drive. It also features all of the versatility of the regular Regal Sportback. All-in-all, the Buick Regal line seems to pack a lot of value, at least on paper. Related Video:
2018 Buick Enclave: How engineers made it larger, lighter, more sophisticated
Wed, Apr 12 2017Buick used the unveiling of the 2018 Enclave at the New York Auto Show to introduce its new range-topping Avenir sub-brand to the world. With fancier interior finishes and exterior details, it's Buick's latest effort to make itself a proper luxury brand (or perhaps re-establish itself as such). However, lost in the Avenir song and dance is the fact that the 2018 Buick Enclave is a (very) long-awaited all-new model regardless of the trim level one selects. Like the Chevrolet Traverse upon which it is based, the new Enclave is bigger than the vehicle it replaces but considerably lighter, by about 400 pounds. "We told every engineer, 'get your job done, but then take the weight out,'" said engineer Rick Spina as we hovered next to his larger yet lighter creation. His team therefore set about taking a little bit of weight out from just about everywhere, from using additional aluminum in the suspension to varying the thickness of the frame (thicker in places that needed to be stronger, thinner and therefore lighter in places that didn't). Only about 100 pounds came out of the body with the rest coming from elsewhere. Not only will the reduced weight improve fuel economy (Buick-estimated at 19 mpg combined with FWD versus 18 for the 2017 model) and presumably the old Enclave's rather ponderous handling, but it should only make things easier for the new powertrain: General Motors' now-familiar 3.6-liter V6 and its latest nine-speed automatic. With 302 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque, Buick says the new engine will need 7.2 seconds to reach 60 mph with FWD or 7.5 seconds with AWD. That's a second quicker than before. Besides acceleration, towing is also bumped up by 500 pounds to 5,000. For those models with all-wheel drive, the Enclave has the same basic system featured on range-topping versions of the Buick LaCrosse. Besides power being sent front and rear, it can also differ from right to left in the back, although Spina is quick to point out that capability is for traction-enhancing purposes rather than sporty, handling-enhancing torque-vectoring ones. Buick owners already appreciated the Enclave for its quietness so the engineers decided to take it that much further. This included altering the exhaust, improving body sealing (there are triple door seals), including active sound deadening and utilizing advanced materials that absorb sound as opposed to simply being thick, dense and heavy enough to keep it out.
