#739 of 1497 Becoming a Buick Salesman by careercarguy Mar 14, 2003 (5:31 am)
Hi,   A Buick showroom is a very "civilized" atmosphere in comparison to higher volume makes.    The demographics of the LeSabre, Park Ave clientele are customers at or beyond retirement age and are very interested in being taken care of, and want to be assured that someone will be there to attend to their needs after the sale.   Almost all Buick customers have been purchasing Buick's for many years and don't put up with any BS.   Most Buick salespeople here in South Florida have many years of experience and many were former dealers themselves.   If you have the opportunity to work at a Buick store, and you know the dealer has been around for a while, go for it! Don't expect to make alot of money but it a nice atmosphere to work in.   I hope this helps.   Have a great day!!

TBone... you didn't say how many miles on the car. I have had 3 LeSabres - 93 with 155000 that my wife made me trade. It shifted "like new" It had fluid changed at 40K, 80K, and filter changed at 110K when I knew I was going to keep her a while. If fluid hasn't been changed regularly, that would be the starting point with a second change after the first. That will get out 3/4 of the old fluid.
#742 of 1497 Lesabre transmission by macarthur2 Apr 15, 2003 (10:30 am)
Before going too far with transmission servicing and all that rigamarole you may just want to have the tranmission shift linkage checked for proper alignment or excessive wear. Linkage does wear out and get out of adjustment. Just a thought.
#743 of 1497 I am having a different problem with tranny..... by jimsxn Apr 17, 2003 (10:03 pm)
1994 LeSabre (whoever gave it that name!) with 171,000 KM (about 106K miles). It gives jerky motions when stopped at a red light/foot on the brake. Is it the beginning of a slip?
#744 of 1497 jimsxn by imidazol97 Apr 18, 2003 (2:52 am)
Is it a jerk as you start moving or while sitting still?   If it is sitting still, it could be plugs and wires. Have they been replaced? About 70-80K miles is enough for wires along with years or age for replacement time. The plugs on my 93 got replaced at 30K miles. Unless yours are the platinum tips Delco plus like my 98, then I replaced them at 50K (they're not good for 100k miles as advertised unless you want to stress the rest of the ignition system toward failure. New plugs fire easier.
#745 of 1497 Thanks...that was my first thought too.... by jimsxn Apr 18, 2003 (5:52 am)
I changed all the plugs (and paid for it - that's another story). Still the problem persists. It happens only when I am stopped (sitting still). Once I get moving - everything is fine.
#746 of 1497 jimsxn by imidazol97 Apr 18, 2003 (6:10 am)
Did you put on quality, new plug wires somewhere at 70-90K miles?
#747 of 1497 pricing by robertc6 Apr 18, 2003 (6:44 am)
Bought my third Lesabre yesterday. Included in the dealer price was ETCHING, which cost me $159. I did not want this but was forced to take it.Dealer said it was in event of theft of my car. I told him my insurance covered this but i was still forced to take it. Anyone hear of this   Bob
#748 of 1497 Etching by mlm4 Apr 18, 2003 (7:54 am)
You should not have been "forced" to pay for this. You could have walked away from the deal if the dealer was not willing to negotiate. I guess you wanted the car enough to pay for it, which is what the dealer is hoping for. In my opinion, whenever the dealer adds on options and costs which are not necessary (and etching is not) it is just their way of making some money. I have found dealers that add up to $1300 for "paint protection" and other garbage. This gives them more leeway to bargain. You've got to be firm with these guys and be willing to walk if you don't feel like you're getting a good deal (but at the same time be reasonable about it).
