2005 Buick LeSabre Custom: Regular Car Reviews

2005 Buick LeSabre Custom: The Official Car of "When Grandpa dies, this'll be yours!"

This one hits home. I’m an Aussie, but did a semester of uni (college) in North America. I bought one of these, an ‘01, for $1100 in Canada and it was ruuuusty. Had a hole in the chassis! I was a naiive 19 year old with no idea roads got salted. It was too late though, so I paid some Egyptians for a safety certificate, in the promise it was going to the scrapyard when my visa ran out. Drove it all the way to Key West FL, then back up to Nashville, finally to New York. 15k miles in 6 months. Packed it full of tents and clothes and cookers and junk. Wheel bearing went in Raleigh NC and got it fixed for like $90. The mechanic offered to buy the car, but I still needed it. Ended up breaking my promise and selling it (with full rust disclosure) for $350. That 6 months was without a doubt the best time of my life. And I miss that car dearly 😢

These G platform GM cars will run like shit longer than most cars will even run.

Literally going to look at 2002 park ave later today. This is a sign, I'm buying it

This is the first non gold one I have ever seen in my life.

Great writing on this one, the nostalgia with the yearings of the later years. Thank you RCR!

Thank you for the flashbacks to when I was 17, working at McDonald's, playing Brock Hampton through an fm transmitter in my mom's Corolla. Thank you, Mr regular, for reminding me of a summer I never grew out of. A moment right before the pandemic upended my senior highschool year. When I would show all my car friends your "Impreza RS 2JZ swap" video and rejoice when they would laugh as hard as I did the first time I saw it. You make my monday lunch breaks the most refreshing part of my day. Now it's monday morning and I'm enjoying a paid vacation day I took because I knew I was DJing until 2AM last night, and who doesn't want to play TF2 all night after playing the club? I hope you make it back to Bradenton Florida someday so I can shake your hand. I'm gonna go listen to the all the Saturation albums again while I trim my horrendously overgrown hedge. Once more, thank you, Mr. Regular, never stop being yourself. You are loved.

🎵a little bit of Buick in my life. 🎶

those first 5 minutes got me aaaall goosebumpy

It’s law that when you play Brockhampton’s Gold you swerve the car when the song says, “time traveling honda swerving…”

I still drive a 92 LeSabre, it is still beloved. No music but cassettes, no hurry, an awful slushy 4 speed automatic, but I love it dearly. I've never been more comfortable in a vehicle.

It breaks my heart that Buick will never build a car this good ever again

Grew up riding around in a 1993 LeSabre, my folks later traded it for a 2001 Park Avenue Ultra (with the supercharged 3.8) when i was in 11th grade in 2002. Was a blast beating up on silly looking early 00s rice burners with that burgandy grandpa crusier 😂

I feel like this was less of a car review and more of a heartfelt yurn for the past.❤

Hahaha Roman looks so old driving this. He’s gonna be a great stereotypical old man at Bob Evan’s

House phone got me 😂 Your humor is like no other Mr Regular.

My friend used to own one of these, I can still remember the feel of the fake wood panel

I can see it lifted on 24's with a dealer tag 7mths out of date and bubbled tint.

I like that blue on the exterior. If you squint hard, this looks like a Jag XJ.

Look at how thick those seat backs are. So comfy. They are thicker than what you even get in Tahoes and Yukons nowadays.
