2005 Used Buick LeSabre Buying Guide
Once again, the 2005 Buick LeSabre has big shoes to fill. Buick’s top-seller and a class-leader in North America, the LeSabre is one of the best-selling full-size cars on the market. In line with this success, Buick is, for another year, offering the limited-run Celebration Model. Other than this special model, the LeSabre comes in Custom and Limited models with somewhat enhanced interior and exterior packages.
The 2005 enjoys the benefits of some of 2004’s improvements to quietness and comfort and the LeSabre offers a very smooth and luxurious ride.
Under the Hood
The Buick LeSabre is offering the same great power this year as last year. A 3.8-liter Series II V6 engine with 205 horsepower at 5200 rpm and 230 lb-ft of torque at 4000 rpm is coupled with a 4-speed automatic transmission. Driving comfort is combined with ample power for passing punch that can be relied on the highways and turnpikes.
In addition, some of last year’s top-level options have been included in the Custom and Limited models. For instance, Stabilitrak, an advanced integrated vehicle stability control system that helps the driver maintain control in a skid or slide, is now standard on both.
The Celebration Edition is distinguished by unique 16-inch wheels and outside mirrors with turn-signal lights. What’s more, aerodynamic body panels, chrome alloy wheels and antiskid make the Celebration Edition truly a car for the driving enthusiast.
A strong safety setup is one of the reasons the Buick LeSabre has been so popular with consumers and this hasn’t been tampered with for 2005. Antilock 4-wheel disc brakes, Gran Touring suspension and battery rundown protection all help you feel secure and confident on the road.
Standard Features, Options Packages and Style
A well-appointed interior continues to draw in potential buyers with an impressive array of standards that will keep the other guys honest. Buick’s basic list of standard features includes air conditioning, cruise control, 8-way power driver’s seat OnStar, AM/FM/CD and more.
The Limited takes it up a notch with many additional amenities, most notable among these is probably the auto climate controls, leather upholstery, heated seats and other details like rain-sensing wipers.
The Celebration Edition also distinguishes itself with its interior style. Wood grain trim is complemented by a head-up display for in-line monitoring of instrumentation readouts.
Regardless of the package you choose, the 2005 Buick LeSabre, like its predecessors, is partly popular because it offers such excellent value for money.
