2001 Buick LeSabre - Well, It Drives, I Guess...
Pros:
The air conditioner works.
We're pretty (hopefully) sure the heater works in the thing.
The car runs decently.
It almost fits my family of six.
It seems to get halfway decent gas mileage.
Cons:
None of the windows work. They are permanently taped closed.
The suspension is going out.
The brakes are deteriorating.
There seem to be random electrical issues with the car.
The battery is located beneath the back passenger seat!
The batteries we put in it die fast.
The replacement batteries are expensive.
We financed this monstrosity from a shady car loan shark dealer.
There are cigarette burns on the front seats.
The headlights and tail lights remain on for approximately 15 friggin' minutes after we take the keys out of the ignition...And nothing makes them turn off, except time. This ... (more)
Story
Hmmm. It pleasantly didn't stop running while picking my kids up from school.....Most of the time.

I mean, it's got a V6, so it has some cajones.
It's a nice silver color with very few dings/dents.
The car has a respectable, "regal-ish" look to it.
Cons

2000 Buick LeSabre - Dependable yet roomy enough for tall people!
The Buick LeSabre has been a flagship vehicle made by Buick since 1959; it has stuck around for a reason! The last model they manufactured from 2000 until 2005 before retiring the brand is still as iconic as the original release almost 60 years ago. It's been, by far, one of my favorite vehicles I've owned and the only bad thing about it is that Buick stopped making it.
Story
The back seat is large enough for hosting adult themed parties. That's all I can say. I may or may not have experienced this!
Pros
It's roomy inside! It's full-sized comfort. It handles as well as a mid-size sedan. The 3800 V6 engine is smooth and has plenty of power for freeway driving. The trunk is huge! It's big enough to hold all of your scuba gear including three or four air tanks so you can take a dive buddy with you! The ride is actually firmer than most other full-size sedans.
Cons
The dashboard has a tendency to start separating after years of exposure to sunlight and heat. The fuel economy isn't great, at an average of 17 mpg of mixed city/highway driving. The air conditioning doesn't blow as cold on the driver-side as it does on the passenger-side, this is fairly common for this model. Every electric window motor and regulator will have to be replaced sooner or later. This model has a high failure rate.
