2005 Buick LeSabre Custom: Regular Car Reviews

2005 Buick LeSabre Custom: The Official Car of "When Grandpa dies, this'll be yours!"

This one hits home. I’m an Aussie, but did a semester of uni (college) in North America. I bought one of these, an ‘01, for $1100 in Canada and it was ruuuusty. Had a hole in the chassis! I was a naiive 19 year old with no idea roads got salted. It was too late though, so I paid some Egyptians for a safety certificate, in the promise it was going to the scrapyard when my visa ran out. Drove it all the way to Key West FL, then back up to Nashville, finally to New York. 15k miles in 6 months. Packed it full of tents and clothes and cookers and junk. Wheel bearing went in Raleigh NC and got it fixed for like $90. The mechanic offered to buy the car, but I still needed it. Ended up breaking my promise and selling it (with full rust disclosure) for $350. That 6 months was without a doubt the best time of my life. And I miss that car dearly 😢

These G platform GM cars will run like shit longer than most cars will even run.

I heard that when Tommy Fenstermacher rides the bus, he has to mime putting on a non-existent seatbelt when he sits down, otherwise his body thinks its on the toilet.

It breaks my heart that Buick will never build a car this good ever again

The way, Mr. regular describes youth makes me nostalgic for a high school experience I didn’t have.

This is the first non gold one I have ever seen in my life.

Every 30-40 year-olds that went to highschool in North America knows this feeling, but very few could describe it with words in this way.

Literally going to look at 2002 park ave later today. This is a sign, I'm buying it

*didnt bash on the car for 30 minutes straight *Is actually a regular car *didn't circlejerk toyota *no obnoxious jokes Wow this feels like a classic one!

Hahaha Roman looks so old driving this. He’s gonna be a great stereotypical old man at Bob Evan’s

Came for the car review, left with existential dread

I sold these new and there was a consistent line of elderly people who would bring in their 10-20-30-40 year old Lesabres and trade right into a new one. I had a grandpa with a Lesabre with 350,000 miles that looked brand new and a grandma with a 70s Lesabre that also looked brand new. Some if the nicest people you could ever meet.

Grew up riding around in a 1993 LeSabre, my folks later traded it for a 2001 Park Avenue Ultra (with the supercharged 3.8) when i was in 11th grade in 2002. Was a blast beating up on silly looking early 00s rice burners with that burgandy grandpa crusier 😂

I still drive a 92 LeSabre, it is still beloved. No music but cassettes, no hurry, an awful slushy 4 speed automatic, but I love it dearly. I've never been more comfortable in a vehicle.

I literally drove this car with my grandpa who couldn’t drive anymore smoking his cigar in the back. A car to make memories with your pleasant grandpa, he’s the most comfortable with you which is why you drove him around that summer, his last gesture to you, a cutout cartoon from the Sunday Funnies for your college dorm door. I still have it 😉

That story at the beginning got me today. I'm about to turn 30, and that is exactly what teenager-hood felt like. Untethered from jobs, mortgages, bills, and adulthood. I'm always amazed at how good you guys are at bringing together cars, nostalgia, philosophy, and just life. Cheers gents.

My grandma just passed away 2 months ago and I’ve been driving her LeSabre for the time being. Great highway cruiser car and only 167k miles.

Wonderful video. 2005 fell right on the heart of my teenage years and rolling around in these boats with friends to catch cheap movies, wander the mall, headbang in basements, and smoke shitty weed was how we found our way. Yet another reminder that Mr. Regular and The Roman, even 10 years on, are among the best writers this platform has on offer.

It’s law that when you play Brockhampton’s Gold you swerve the car when the song says, “time traveling honda swerving…”
