Faults:
Driving to CA while charging rechargeable batteries in the 12V system. All Dash Lights come on...then...Dash goes out (no spedo, fuel gauge, odometer, trip meter, temp gauge, shift indicator, etc).
Restart and they come on then off... do that for a couple of min. then they come back and the odometer reads error. (Any Ideas!!!)
Been like that since. Still flicker every-time car is started (gauges/needles come on/off) then.
Runs and Drives fine otherwise.
General Comments:
Car gets 29.25/MPG on the open road @ 75/MPH and cruises comfortably. Beats any other car in power/economy. My Kia Optima 4cyl manages only 27 and with a whole less power.
Loads of room inside and smooth riding. (remove plastic ears near the seat adjusters that trip your entry/exit) and (remove the silly plastic protective cover in trunk).
Rides low front and rear (pulling out of what seemed like a small pitched driveway manages to scrape the front engine supports and the rear muffler)
Prefer the muffler/suspension design of previous generation (92-99).
Nice car, but GM tried too much to reduce costs and everything seems cheaper in this model then my others.
Will buy another one... prob Lucurne when it becomes reasonable enough.

I just bought a 2000 Buick Le Sabre Limited from a car auction, it has hail damamge, but no other problems. This car is a dream. Its so comfy, and rides very nice. I don't really care about the problems with the windows, The automatic climate control quickly heats up or cools down the car. So who needs the windows. And I'm from Manitoba (In Canada) and its too cold for 8 months of the year to have the windows open anyways. I would recommend this car.
