The figures, translated
It runs the 3.8L 6-cylinder, with 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.
A combined rating of 11.2 L/100 km works out to about 34 litres per 300 km. At our price setting, it costs about $17.36 to drive 100 km. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$3,200 a year for 15,000 miles.
Good uses for the LeSabre
It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car. It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else.
Room inside
A car body like this keeps the weight low, so it feels settled on the highway. At 510 litres, the trunk fits a family's bags for a long weekend.
Rent it for a week first
Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car. Drive the LeSabre on your commute before you commit to it. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide.
Choosing the right one
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. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires.
Money matters
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. The EPA estimates US$3,200 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car.
