Miles

88K on a 98 lesabre.

does this car have low or high mileage. so far i have heard both

your opinion would help

:confused:

Seems a little high. But then again, I just bought a 92 with 101,000 :wink:

If the price is right I wouldn't worry too much about the miles if the rest of the car is clean. One reason I bought mine was the fact that sooooo many of the GM 3800 engines routinely have 150,000 - 200,000 miles on 'em.

i have a 1990 buick lesabre same engine and tranny as when new 222,295!!! i want to get to 500,000 but i am going to do some work soon, right now i have the car red oxied primed and am saving for camelian paint. ok ttyl:lol:

I got a park avenue Ultra, SC 3.8, 143000 miles, only on its second supercharger. The first owner replaced it around 90000, if I'm not mistaken. You got to change the SC oil, but that doesnt apply in your case. The 3800 is a great engine.

car is now black 203500 miles

I owned a '92 Buick LeSabre and she went over 200k miles before the transmission died and the last 30k miles the tranny mounts were busted from an accident. I loved that car I hated to see it go :-( But two years later I finally have another buick my new '96 Rivera (long live the Series II 3800).

Get a Grand National, you wont find to many high mileage GN's around if any. And it's a great performance car. :biggrin:

I take it with 88k you mean kilometers? In that case there is only 50000 miles on it. I would say that you have average mileage for that year of car. My 98 Lesabre has 116000 kilometers (kms). Feels like it is just broken in - well after I did a full tune up, wires, plugs, fuel filter etc...:)

My lesabre now has 98,000 miles on it...if i keep this up..in 5 years i will have 250,ooo miles on this thing. :evillol: :banghead:

144200 today

160,000 as of last week in my 89 T-Type

115,869miles as of today on my '96 Riv. If you don't torture them the 3800 engines will go almost forever (I have heard of them over 350,000)

I have put 10,000 miles on my Buick in four months. my fuel pump is going out and i need new brakes.......on that thought could any one give me an estimate of how much brakes on a 1998 buick lesabre custome would cost...at a garage?\


:smokin:

Well my transmission is about to take a shit on me though...Shitty ass 440/4T60 tranny's

My 1990 LeSabre has 32,000 on it now. It had 23,000 when I got in in June (from an estate, old ladys car). I am looking forward to at least 100,000 more miles in it. :)

i have 76k all origional miles on my 72 lesabre custom with the 455

as of today 134,596

as of today 234,596
sorry about the 100k thing :screwy: :banghead: :nono: :uhoh:

My 1991 LeSabre has 170,000 miles and is still going strong.

is that 91 obd1 or obd2

1988 LeSabre had 14,000 miles when I got it 9 years ago, has 145,000 now...nothing too major has happened mechanically, basically normal wear stuff.

1990 LeSabre 68,000 miles runs great!! eBay purchase

1987 Buick Regal Turbo - 17,000 original miles Needs a new rear main seal. Not looking forward to that task!

My '91 LeSabre is OBD 1. I'm building an ALDL to RS232 interface for my personal computer and am looking forward to using the CarBytes software with it.

The miles are excellent for a car that is 6 years old. I have a 2004 Pontiac GrandAm with 45,000 on it. I bought it new. I also have a 1988 Buick LeSabre coupe with 124,000 miles on it. Milage is nothing though, it is all in how the car has been treated. Hope this helps!

Hi all, I'm new here. This is a GREAT forum.

I have: '90 w/ 91K and a '94 w/ 73k.

Have replaced alt. and water pump on both. Now, hoping
to join you guys in the 150+K club.

Till then, I love my Buicks.

I have about 43.5k miles on a 1992 Lesabre

The original poster asked whether the vehicle in question had high miles. Seeing as the original post was 2003, that made the vehicle 5 years old at the time. The average miles per year was 17,600. The industry standard that some businesses use, (insurance for rating info, and lease companies, etc.) is 12 to 15,000 miles /yr. So by using that info it would appear that the vehicle was on the high side of average at that time. ( I see some lease companies are starting to use a 10,000 miles/yr standard for their leases.)

1992 Lesabre, 233,800+ today. Never did any engine/tranny work other than water pumps and alternators.
