    My brand new Buick

    Well, I've caved in an finally got a new car! Well sort of... It's a brand new, That's right BRAND NEW 1998 Buick LeSabre Limited with (I think) every single option available. I consider it new, you'll see why. More pictures and details to follow soon! I'm just not sure what to do with the Marquis as registration lapses soon and I don't really have use or space for two cars. So that's gotten me a bit down, but the Buick is mint.

          Anyway here's why I say it's brand new. As you can tell from the picture's I'm almost positive this is the cleanest '98 LeSabre on the face of the planet. The previous owner was a 92 year old woman who went into assisted living. The back seat was never sat in, still had the original plastic bags on the floor mats. 110% Rust free and immaculate. Garage kept. And best of all look at the odometer.

              Thanks man! Not too bad for craigslist! Haha I always want to laugh when I click on ads that say low mileage and the cars have 80,000 miles on them.

                Chryslers 3.8 V6 is a turd compared to the General's 3.8 (3800). Caravans, aren't GM!


                Nice score on the LeSabre. Looks awesome, I always liked that style!

                      I have never seen one with rocker panels. Never in my life. I'm pretty sure GM actually cut the rockers out somewhere in the factory and then painted the air.

                          lol thanks man!!! Yep, it's a 100% legit 9,000 miles! I ran an autocheck/carfax checks and it came back true. Showed 2,400 miles in 2000 and 3,600 miles in 2001. She was the original owner and bought the car at our local Buick dealership that happens to still be in business. Not that I doubted the elderly woman's niece, I'll post more pictures soon.

                              Yep, absolutely everything works. Although I haven't tried the cassette player, I doubt it's ever been used but I highly doubt it's broken.
