Hey everyone! First time hear and i'm considering a Buick for the first
time. I'm looking at either a Century or a LeSabre. Undecided. Is there
a difference in gas milage between the two cars? If so, how much?

What is my best bet?

I'm counting on you guys to help me out. I'm looking for a used one in the neighborhood of between $4000 - $8000 .



P.S. Is there a particular model or year that i shoud stray from or beware of? Thanks guys!smileys/smiley1.gif

if im not mistaken, i think that the drivetrains offered in both of those models are very similar if not the same. they should yield equal MPG, with a minor variance...my grand mother has a century, and she has had little problem, other than a leaking windshield.

i have a 2003 buick century it costs about 30.00 for me to fill up the tank in woodbridge va.

how is the engine in this car? does it (Century) accelerate well? or could it use a little more pep?

the engine in my 2003 is a v6 Yes it does accelerate well from a stop light even on a hill. it already has a lot of pep meaning quick to go let me know if you have more questions my email is sccrazy@excite .com

when i worked for my college motorpool, the had exclusively buicks, and they picked up nicely..





(and smoked the tires well too) smileys/smiley2.gif

Does this Park ave look like a good bet? http://autotrader.com/fyc/vdp.jsp?car_id=171553453&deale (http://autotrader.com/fyc/vdp.jsp?car_id=171553453&dealer_id=625233&car_year =1997&make=BUICK&distance=75&lang=en&max_price=700 0&model=PARK&end_year=1999&min_price=4000&certifie d=&address=07105&search_type=both&advanced=&isp=y& start_year=1997&cardist=45) r_id=625233&car_year=1997&make=BUICK&distance=75 &lang=en&max_price=7000&model=PARK&end_year= 1999&min_price=4000&certified=&address=07105&amp ;search_type=both&advanced=&isp=y&start_year=199 7&cardist=45Edited by: petey

I have a 1992 Park Avenue Ultra. It has a 3800 SuperCharged in it. It
will smoke both my Regals with 3800s in them. And it's twice the car.
For the money the Park Ave is better than the LeSabre because you get
all the comforts of a caddy and there not much more than a Lesabre. My
Park Ave also gets about 28-29MPG on the Highway and around 24-25 in
town.

are there performance upgrades like pulley kits for the blown ultras?

You can only get a pulley for a 98 and up but I was looking at my
friends with the aftermarket pully and my stock one is still smaller.
By almost 1/2"

ru still on

I wish i had the MPG u guys have, lol.. im lucky if i get 12 MPG


but then again on the flip side of that i can light them tires up just big toe''in my peddle, muhahahaha
