Hey all,
We’re considering a 2007 Buick Lucerne with 114,000 miles for $4,250. It has the 3.8L V6, which I know has a good reputation, but my dad only buys Toyota/Lexus vehicles, so I’m facing some skepticism about adding an American car to the mix.
Do you think these cars would have too many electrical issues and weak transmissions at this age? Would it be wiser to spend the extra few thousand and pay the Toyota tax? I’d definitely have my mechanic inspect it before making a decision. I appreciate any thoughts you have.
Buying an 18-year-old Buick is not the greatest idea. Yes the 3.8 is a very good engine but there is a lot more to a car than just the engine. Maybe if it was half the price and a mechanic said it was currently OK before purchase it might be worth the risk.
