#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

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).

I was actually being forced to buy etching by a new GM dealer. I flatly refused. The agent called the manager - who admitted this is a sort of admin fee and all others were doing it as well. I said no way and got ready to leave - the manager backed off.   You should NEVER allow yourself to be forced to buy something that you do not want. Now that it has happened - you owe it to yourself and other car buyers to make a complaint to BBB and/or local consumer club.
#755 of 1497 Thunk Noise in Front of 2002 Buick by rhraasch Apr 27, 2003 (5:51 pm)
Yesterday, after I had washed my 2000 Buick LeSabre, I immediately put it in my garage and didn't use it until this morning. My problem is when I started it up this morning and put it in reverse and started to back up I got a very loud thunk noise from under the left front. It feels like something is stuck and then it loosens up when I back up. I took the car to the dealer and described this problem about three months ago and they said I needed a new motor mount which was replaced under warranty. I didn't have the problem with the thunk noise again until this morning. Has anyone had a similar problem? Rodger
#756 of 1497 How about this car? by zhiyuanyan Apr 27, 2003 (6:49 pm)
HI, all   I am in the market for a used car. I test-drived this 99 Buick LeSabre Custom at a dealer. The car runs okay, and the car was clean inside/outside. All the parts look very clean under the hood. The only concern is that the car has 93000 miles on it. I owned a 90 Buick LeSabre before and my impression is that the 3800 engine can run 150k miles if taken care of properly. This car has 3800 II(?) engine. Is this mileage a problem? I will also appreciate it if you can comment on the common problems 99 LeSabres have so that I can pay more attention when I revisit the dealership.
