  • In this video I give a short tour and test drive of a 1999 Buick LeSabre Custom. I take viewers on a close look through the interior and exterior of this car while showing details, over viewing of features, and noting unique styling cues to the vehicle itself. I show the car idling as well as take it on a thorough test drive through the city and highway on various surfaces. A thorough drive of this car designed to give others a greater overall appreciation of the vehicle.

    18 years old, 1997 Buick LeSabre Custom as my first car! 110,000 miles and $1500. Gotta say, you never notice Buicks until you drive one.

      I did a ~ 4000 miles road trip with a rental 2017 Nissan Rogue (4 cylinder 2.5L) and definitely missed my 98 Lesabre. Me and my wife talked about the Buick especially when we try to pass another vehicle. Buick rocks!

    My father had one of these. One of the last cars that truly floated down the road. Felt and drove like a car from the 1970s, minus the front wheel drive and six cylinder engine. Very reliable car. Had 230K when we sold it and as far I I know, it's still out there, running.

    In the south Arkansas town where I live, there is litterally a 1999/2000 Buick LeSabre in every parking lot and at ever stop sign. Considering it's at least 30 miles to the nearest Buick dealer, there are even a huge number of recent model year Buicks here. This used to be Ford and Chevy country but it's Buick country now. My Bro-in-Law has a 99 Buick LeSabre Custom with 65,000 miles that he has parked but never drives. I'm going to offer to buy it from him.

    I got a 97 recently, needed some TLC but for 2 grand and only 105k, it was a great bargain. It cruises and has a strong motor, great pickup. Just make sure with 100+k to do oil changes, check on the mass air intake sensor, the egr valve is clear of carbon or gunk and u keep it fueled properly. I destroyed my first car, an 86 Buick Regal but it kept on chugging. Buick makes a reliable car and mechanics love em. Biggest flaw is the driver/pass. side window have a bar down it, causes a blind spot

    I have a 98 Buick Lesabre custom and I love it even though it is an old mans car according to my girlfriend. I own an auto repair business and maintaining it is inexpensive and easy. Before this car, I had a 2004 EB Expedition, but for 450/month it wasn't worth it because it sat in the driveway for days at a time since I am always driving my work vans. I spent $2,700 on the Buick with 83K and it was well worth it. I fit 3 child seats in the back without a problem.

    I have sort of liked the look of this Car but I know filling it up from empty to full in Britain would be an out Rageous amount, anyway is that Car a Diesel or Unleaded Petrol/ Gasoline because I noticed you used the Fuel Nozzle with the Black Handle, and in Britain at the Petrol Station Black Handle indicates Diesel Fuel and the Green Handle indicates Unleaded Petrol and the Red Handle Indicates LRP (Lead Replacement Petrol)

      it's unleaded. there's a plate on the dash warning to only use unleaded, under the speedo. If it was a diesel v6 it'd make a hell of a lot more noise as well!

    I'm 18, looking for a new car and I'm looking specifically for something with a 3800 gm engine. I want something sportier, but you can't beat the price, reliability, and luxury of 90's buicks.

    Ahh, that car looks so comfortable. Would probably look better if the interior was grey or something instead of red.

    I've always liked to call this generation and the previous generation of the LeSabre, "The Little Old Lady Car". I'm also curious to what song was playing right when Kyle first turned on the radio, right before he changed the station.
