| oily coolant | 12Relevance | 3 years ago | kirk0085 | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| 1998 Buick LeSabre Limited, auto, 140,000KM. Hey Scotty, I have a 1998 Buick LeSabre that I'm taking off the road but I spotted an identical car at a Kenny U-Pull. Much better shape, runs and drives, 140,000, I couldn't find anything wrong with it but I noticed a receipt in the glove box from a shop less than a year ago for a coolant flush. I popped the coolant cap and the fluid was topped up but it seemed abit oily to me. Should I be concerned? I'm hesitant to buy even though its in really good shape but the fact its sitting at a yard waiting to be scrapped ... | |||||

| The 30 year old Buick Regal? If so probably not, as far as I know, a 30 year old Buick is worth maybe a thousand bucks. Realize that when you're leasing you're usually buying someone else a car, Unless you find a lease that's significantly cheaper than what it would cost to buy the car. for example scotty had a video where he did say that a $210 lease $26k car with questionable reliability is a good deal. | |||||
| Answer to: GM 3.6L engine opinions | 12Relevance | 3 years ago | Whatchamacallit | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Which models and model years are you asking about? That engine was used in the 2008-2011 Cadillac sedans (both CTS and STS) and was also used in the 2010-2011 Chevrolet Camaro, 2010-2011 Buick LaCrosse, 2009-2017 Chevrolet Traverse, 2009-2016 GMC Acadia, and 2009-2017 Buick Enclave. I cannot recommend any of those vehicles especially beyond 100,000 miles. Anyways, the LLT 3.6L V6 (primarily from 2008 to 2012) still had timing chain issues; after 2012, the issue was less pronounced but not completely eliminated. While GM design is to blame, but also lac ... | |||||

| AC Not cooling | 12Relevance | 4 years ago | LightningFanTB | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Hi Scotty I have a 2017 Buick Encore FWD with the 1.4 without auto stop. I live in Florida so it gets hot. Recently the AC on the Encore has been registering about 52-55 degrees on the vents. I checked the AC refrigerant level on the low pressure cap and it registers about 38 PSI which was a little low so I pumped it up to 42 PSI which is in the green zone according to the recharge kit I got. The temperature only went down to about 48 which is still too high. The kit I got says once I get to the green zone to stop. I don't know what else could be wrong with ... | |||||

| Answer to: GM 3800 engine | 12Relevance | 4 years ago | MountainManJoe | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| GM did the same thing with the 4.3. This new V6 would essentially be a V8 with cylinders #6 & #3 removed, similar to what Buick had successfully done with its V6 in the 1960's. This Chevy 90-degree V6 had the same rear block face & bolt pattern, as well as the same style of engine mounting bosses and accessory packages as its bigger brother. the '85-up Chevy 4.3L, 262ci V-6 is very much like a small-block Chevy minus the number 3 and 6 cylinders -- check the valve layout its bore and stroke are a perfect match for the 350 cubic inch ... | |||||
| Answer to: Are Buicks good cars? | 12Relevance | 4 years ago | Whatchamacallit | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Please do a search on this forum: been discussed many times before. In short, Buicks, especially ones made in the last 15 or so, are not good vehicles especially if you plan to keep long-term. Stay away from them. The last good Buick was probably the 2nd Gen (1997-2005) Buick Park Avenue with the legendary and ultra reliable 3800 series engine. | |||||

| Answer to: Why do some OEMs make crappy engines? | 12Relevance | 4 years ago | nta98 | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Its sad, we are big GM fans at my house, grew up riding in them (2000 Buick & 06 yukon) and I bought a 2000 camaro in 2015 while in HS. All three cars were nothing but reliable and still run great (sold the Buick a few years back with 150k & no major issues). To me, it seems like alot of the issues are coming from them buying cheaper components, like getting the cheapest valve springs possible, which ended up causing a recall. Theyre making them as cheap as possible while still increasing the price as if the quality wasnt dropping. I trust GM's per ... | |||||
| Answer to: What full size sedan should I buy | 12Relevance | 4 years ago | Justin Shepherd | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| You'll definitely regret getting that Buick. GM didn't stop making sedans for no reason. They couldn't, or didn't want to compete with Toyota and Honda in that category. They didn't perceive it as profitable. When you have their car manufacturing mentality, it's not profitable. GM makes cars that break constantly and they charge almost the same price for cars made in Mexico, not even the U.S., as Toyota or Honda, and their cars are either American or Japanese made. Toyota and Honda make quality products. GM does not. Toyota and Honda sedans sell very well, s ... | |||||
| Answer to: Good Older Car Choices from early 80s to late 90s | 12Relevance | 4 years ago | samanthad199500 | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| I agree with the reply to select late 90s cars due to the fact the obdII style computers are just available after 1995 for most models. The GM 3.1 liter engine was in production for a long time and is my favorite in the Buicks. I had a 1994 Buick purchased with 50K miles for $2K. It suffered from improper repaired, broken ground of the computer, and sensitive ignition wires that needed to be routed properly. A great learning experience where I could easily maintain the car. I live in North Texas, no signs of rust, just the air conditioning ports opene ... | |||||
