again, :tup: to GM. Although I’m not a buick fan by any means
3 years @ 12k miles per = 36,000 = JUST ending warranty period(for some brands)
Lets see like 60K+ miles / 5+ years

Don’t you have a forum you should be restoring?
Buicks don’t break because:
the owners never press the pedals hard enough to break anything
The owners either drive them 15k miles over 5 years or get in an accident before a warranty item might break
I wish buick would vanish :lol:

My 94 Lesabre with 144k on it has no issues other than usual maint for something that old.
my aunt has a newer lacrosse, I hate the friggin thing. I keep telling her to get away from buick. IMO they’re gonna be the next oldsmobile.
I have a mercury mini-van and I don’t think that’s to well put together either.

Initial quality is really not a measure of dependability, long term reliability is, so you have to look at Consumer Reports and look how the vehicle does after 5 years or so.

Hahaha, how true.
I love it. Honda could put their badge on a Vega and sell it and you’d dyed in the wool domestic haters would stand behind it.
In other news my Ford and my Chevrolet are currently broken. :smash2:

For real, end this thread, it’s completely pointless. Buick comparable to a Yota?
