The 1996 Buick LeSabre: before you buy
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 1996 Buick LeSabre for sale by us right now. For anyone shopping for the 1996 Buick LeSabre, here are the facts that matter.
What to check on the LeSabre
There are 2 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. Owners filed 98 complaints with NHTSA, most often about engine and engine cooling, service brakes and electrical system; have those parts checked. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay.
The numbers in plain words
Power: the 3.8L 6-cylinder; drive: front-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
The EPA rates it at 11.8 L/100 km combined, so a 300 km weekend uses about 35 litres. A 300 km round trip costs roughly $54.87 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$3,350 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Inside and out
It is a straightforward car to drive, park and live with. For luggage, 481 litres means a family's bags for a long weekend.
Good uses for the LeSabre
It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month. It suits commuters, couples and business trips.
Try before you buy
Drive the LeSabre on your commute before you commit to it. A test week in the LeSabre tells you more than any review. A week with the LeSabre answers more than any brochure.
Running costs
A 1,000 km month costs roughly $182.90 at our price setting. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models.
Year and trim
Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person.
