The 2003 Buick LeSabre for buyers
CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2003 Buick LeSabre; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. For anyone shopping for the 2003 Buick LeSabre, here are the facts that matter.
Before you sign for the LeSabre
Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it.
What the specs mean
The engine is the 3.8L 6-cylinder, with front-wheel drive and a 4-speed automatic. It runs on regular gas. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
For 300 km of mixed driving, expect about 34 litres, from its 11.2 L/100 km rating. Driving 300 km costs roughly $52.08 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$3,200 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
How big it is
A car body like this keeps the weight low, so it feels settled on the highway. The EPA lists 510 litres for luggage, roughly a family's bags for a long weekend.
Who the LeSabre suits
It uses more fuel than most, so it suits shorter trips or people who need its size. It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next.
Rent it for a week first
Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car. Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer. Try the LeSabre on your commute, then decide.
Running costs
The EPA estimates US$3,200 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $17.36 in fuel. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.
Which one to look for
Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it.
