Vehicle Description
2000 Buick LeSabre Limited
Like those of many baby boomers the thinking is that Buicks have
mushy rides, imprecise handling and styling that shouts, ''Hey,
Mom, Grandpa is here!'' Who can blame them? Buick has long catered
to the senior set that loves big American cars. With a
preponderance of models that were conservative on the outside,
unexciting on the inside, Buick long ago lost the high-style appeal
it had in the 50's and 60's with snazzy Skylarks, sporty Wildcats
and elegant Electra 225's. As younger Americans discovered cool,
crisp-handling European and Japanese sedans, Buick was left selling
cars to the Sun City crowd.
For consignment a 2000 LeSabre from Buick, in Limited trim. This
means a 3.8 liter V6, EFI 4-speed automatic and all the creature
comforts one could want in a 2000 4-door sedan including leather
seats, traction control, and steering wheel audio, cruise, and
temperature controls. All of this wrapped up in a one local owner,
always garage kept, 12,789 title verified actual mile package.
Exterior
All bathed in Pewter and ready to be the belle of the ball, staying
true to its heritage, the whole package contains eye appeal and
maintains the distinctive Buick luxury look. Now integrated
headlights with side turn signals wrapping around the front
quarters give this car a much more aero look than its dual stacked
headlight predecessors. These lamps flank the chrome barred oval
grille and within floats the Buick tri-shield emblem. Some Pewter
vinyl accenting is adding a 3D look to the slab sides along with
the taupe rocker trimmings and the fender tri-shield and LeSabre
Limited badges all remain in chrome. Nicely rounded panels and well
minded gaps are noted throughout as are the body colored mirrors
and door handles. The paint is nearly perfectly applied from the
factory with only one scuff to note on the driver's door mirror.
Chrome trimmed flush mount tail lights wrap around the sides of the
car and a large chromed plastic frame surrounds the license plate
holder. Finalizing our exterior tour are 15" 5 spoke Buick badged
alloy wheels shod in thin whitewall radials.
Interior
Inside, a heavily padded like new khaki leather 70/30 split bench
seat provides comfortable room for 3 with deep tuck and roll
stitching and large slabs of smooth leather. Overstuffed horseshoe
shaped headrests sit atop the outboard seating positions and we
note both front seat sections are power actuated, have heated
surfaces and the driver's position has 2 programmable memory
locations. A khaki leather bench is in the back and of the same
pattern. Undulating lines abound for the dash design which
seamlessly integrates the 3 black faced round pod instrument panel.
We note a litany of viewable functions with the press of a button
for the cluster and a medium grained burl runs the length of the
dash holding within the digital climate control with the
AM/FM/Cassette & CD player above. Even door panels are utilizing
this round flowing style...gone is the 80's square and rectangle
design, (thank goodness!). All clean and nicely preserved here.
Drivetrain
Lifting the hood reveals a like new engine bay holding the original
and barely broken in 3.8 Liter V6 Series II engine. It is fed by
EFI and has a 4T65E 4-speed automatic transmission on back with a
2.86 final drive,
Undercarriage
Not to be outdone by the topside, the undercarriage also shows as
new with only a light spattering of road dirt and very light
corrosion on untreated components. Independent suspension is all
around with aluminum control arms, and power disc brakes front and
rear bring you to a stop safely.
Drive-Ability
A quick starter and the 6 cylinders all came immediately to life.
On the test track it performed as expected with good acceleration,
bias free braking and apt handling. All functions performed
swimmingly, and I thoroughly enjoyed the benefit of the heated
seats on my ample keister while I enjoyed the AC blowing in my
face.
