Being a buick it was probably owned by an older person, I'm guessing the previous owner passed away and the car was simply donated by the family.
That was exactly what I was thinking. Everyone in the family probably had a decent car already so they chose the charitable move. Very good thinking on their part. This is random, but I inherited my grandmother's Camry that she got new. She maintained it very well and I'm thrilled with the car.
That's an old rumor I hope never dies. I'm old, and I drive like a Boss.
Yup, the higher mileage with a whistle clean interior screams that it was an older persons car.
@Kent Teffeteller And their clientele tends to be responsible :)
I love the Buick Roadmaster / Chevy Caprice wagon with the LT1 like crazy.
Probably the same situation as me , my grandfather died when i was 15 and noone wanted his car even though it had 45k miles so it was worth some money & i got it , was worth 6k im glad i kept it though still driving like a beauty.
That Buick has been very well cared for.
🔥♨like a charm only comes in a lucky time to pick up a cheap running buick old school
randy, the trunk release is the lock/unlck button for the all the doors, you just have to hold it down for 3 seconds to unlock it is all
I inherited a 2001 Buick with the unstoppable 3800 that I decided to keep as a backup car, whomever inherited that Buick is gonna regret not doing the same.
Agreed brother Id keep it if I was given a Buick 3.6 or 3800 shoot why not keep it as a spare car even as a daily!
Randy "we stole this"
Buick "service theft system"
😂😂
😅
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
That is a LaCrosse. They are great cars, but are known for electrical issues. I believe you got a winner there.
To unlock the trunk on the Buick LaCrosse you need to press and hold the driverside door unlock button. I had a Buick LaCrosse so trust me on this one 😉
I sold Buick’s for several years till 2013 they are all well built the lacrosse is a great candidate for being a runner with super high miles !!! I’ve taken them back in trade from loyal customers with over 300k and other than the buttons being worn off the cars always still ran and drove perfect.. GM is just as reliable as any foreign manufacturer…
Ikr I have A 2015 Tahoe with 110k and it’s really nice and reliable I really don’t know why people always say GM sucks GM IS THE BEST
@@manpan4693 They are just as reliable as any Toyota ever made simple fact..
Exactly
Nice deal!
I drive a low mileage '06 Allure CXS myself. (The LaCrosse was sold as "Allure" in Canada)
The 3.6 rips when you want it to and they're invisible to cops.
I'm a copart member and I never see cars go for these super low below a grand prices and look as good as this or the ford expedition etc..
If you get a remote programmed, it should have remote start also. My grandma has an 06 buick lacrosse cxl with a column shifter and 3.8 instead. They are phenomenal cars.
Also, if you hold the unlock button up on the door it will pop the trunk. Lol you looked at it twice haha
From the looks of the Buick, I'd say it was bought new by an elderly couple, garage kept all its life, eventually they passed on, nobody in the family wanted it, so it was donated.
I would’ve gotten it as a spare car
The color on that Buick is called Antique Bronze Metallic Randy. I own the exact same model of the Canadian version the Allure with the 3.8 series III. Bought mine 2yrs ago for a "winter beater" here in Canada. Great car runs like a top! You want a chuckle? Open the glove box and notice the hook for hanging the trash back from! lol
Looks like a good buy. I had a 2007 LaCrosse. Good car. They are compatible with the Impala. W bodies along with the Grand Prix.
(I’m sure you’ve figured it out at this point)To open the trunk on the lacrosse you just hold the unlock button on the door. My great grandmother had a 2007 Lacrosse CX with the series 3 3.8 great driving car
The registration sticker expires 11 of 2016. So I would have to assume someone passed away and either thier children or thier estate manager donated it, seeing as it has 180,000 miles they probably felt they wouldn't get much for it. Especially having a dead battery and all and not knowing that was the only issue
Most people don't know much about what some used cars act6go for
They've always bought brand new every few years and probably don't care
You came up with all that in your story based on no knowledge.
I wait everyday for the notification on Randy’s uploads . Great content. Og subscriber from Uber man days ✊🏾
Sameeeeee
I kinda miss the Uber man days!
Enjoyed watching this. In 2012, I bought a blue 2006 Lacrosse with the 3.8, and 40,000 miles. Kept it until 2020 with 173,000 and traded it in on my Camry.
My wife and I took the Buick on vacations and it was smooth and dependable.
I lost her to cancer in 2015, so that Buick will always hold a special place.
Those are actually good cars. Reliable. Comfortable. They ride well. My Niece and her husband have one. Works great. Nice grab!
You can get rid of that green lighting and add more light by replacing the florescent lights with LEDs. Get 6 from Costco and daisy chain them.
LEDs light are the worse lights to put on your car in cold climate
@@sammax4245 shop lights. I thought that was pretty clear. Also, he's not in a cold climate. Dozens of companies use LED lights. What were you thinking!
@@tony_25or6to4
LEDs lights don't generate enough heat to melt the ice and snow on car headlights.
Can't see sh@t no matter how bright they are because they blocked by ice.
Even in hot climate don't tend to work good during rain and fog, lights need some amount of heat to prevent moister from sticking to it.
@@sammax4245 what are you talking about? I was talking about ship lights.
Press and hold the top of the driver’s or front passenger’s power door
lock switch for one and one-half seconds to unlock the trunk.
Good to know 👍
Great work. The Buick will be a great daily driver for someone.
I daily drive one of these, mine is the Canadian version which is called an Allure. One of the best cars I’ve ever owned. I have the 3.8 motor in mine with a column shifter and a bench seat in the front. 65,000miles on mine not a spot of rust. Every option in it except leather and a sunroof. You got a really good deal!
20:45 The expression is “I’ll be dipped.”
It’s in very good shape. Normally the centre stack buttons start pealing off but they are actually in very good condition still
That was a score‼️ These are the cars I tune in to see. 👍
Randy, depress the door lock for 3 seconds while in park
Randy: Floors it in Buick
Jessica in the red eye : LOL thats cute
Must be good to know Austin, and get those $50 batteries.
I just bought an 07 with the 3.8. Love the car it’s so luxurious and comfortable. Looks great too
The Buick fits right in with what a dealer I know sells. Already sold on the day this was uploaded?
Hello Randy. The Buick Lacrosse is a great car. Can't wait to see what you do with her.
SCORE! Again... good call on the Buick.
I could have sworn the Pontiac was a LeMans, but now that I look at it more, Tempest makes sense. I've just never seen a Tempest convertible. So you have another rare car, Randy. 👍🇺🇸
Looks like drivers side rear quarter has been repaired or replaced. Different trim on quarter window and paint is slightly off. Otherwise, looks pretty good. Great find.
You got a Great deal on this car, I paid 1100 for a 03 park Ave ultra, so yeah, Liked, Happy Holidays Pal
Probably owned by a super senior, the family did not want the car thinking it was too old, not stylish enough, not cool, so donated it. Perfect as a commuter to beat around.
I have a 2006 LaCross with 68,000 Miles. Still looks and runs as new. Everything works perfectly. 30mpg on the highway. Same color as this but bench seats.
Buick’s are under rated for sure.
sounds like you got a great deal on it Randy. good luck with the Buick!!
Never see Buick rebuilds.. That’s actually cool as hell in my book. I love land yachts and wacky cars I love it. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Amazing, you don't buy Buicks that cheap around my area, Pontiacs and whatnot maybe but if there's a LaCrosse or Lucerne at my local public auction it goes for a couple grand cause they're in such good shape
I love the buick just knowing that a older person had a vehicle and they had pride and took care of it says a lot now days you have technology and emissions crap on vehicles a good example older cars are still running to this day yet brand new vehicles sitting on the side of the road broke down im only 24 years old and my truck is a 1997 ford f150 that my dad ordered from a dealership
There’s a reason Buick is called an old man’s car
They’re usually well taken care of and with low miles obviously
The 3.6 did have timing chain issues. I put liqui moly ant-friction when I change the oil. I’d recommend you do the same when you change the oil.
Great find. You may have found a good 3.6L (with no timing chain issues). According to the back of the car it is a "Bick". Should find a u, to make it a "Buick".
To find out how to open the trunk, look at the owner’s manual I saw in the glove box.
Hi Randy, bigjrob22 here love the vids. On those particular buick lacrosse model the truck open button is intergrated into the unlock button on the dr door panel. I think you either have to hold it for a few seconds or push it twice.
I adore Jessica in the redeye. My wife is scared to drive my itty bitty ctsv its only 550 hp
One of those models drove well but had an underpowered motor that had a lot of issues in the valve train and the upgraded option was the Northstar motor according to Scotty Kilmer.
Great job randy !!!! Worth it all day . I could get $3500 in my area . The car is compared to the impala . I can’t keep cheap cars on my lot at all . They want running transportation with ac. This car would be great .this would last 1 day .
i really like the 2016 Buick Lacrosse .I like the looks, the wheels.
Says it doesn't run and we get to watch Randy pick up his battery jumper and smile his "Not yet it isn't." smile.
It's a shame I couldn't get that Buick directly from you. I know someone who is in need of a car and I'm guessing it would be reliable enough to be a daily driver. Good luck on the auction!
Your LaCrosse is built on the newer "W" platform, same as the Chevrolet Impala, Pontiac Grand Prix and the Oldsmobile Intrigue, even though the Olds was discontinued in 2002. The Intrigue was due to get slightly larger headlamps, just like the Lacrosse! I just bought a 2011 Buick Lucerne CXL with 88,412 miles from Copart in Wichita on May 2, 2022; only $2,250.
I wish I had gotten that lucky with my 2003 Pontiac Montana, it's one owner was an old retired ex-marine who passed away. It had 156000 well maintained miles on it but in the last year since I bought it from his daughter it's been constant repairs. I think it's a Christine too, but instead of fixing itself its trying to destroy itself, lol. I don't think I'll ever buy another GM made after the late 90's again. But Buick used to make really good cars, I'd be tempted with this one.
Randy to open the trunk on those Buicks, you hold one of the unlock/lock buttons on the drivers/passenger door panel till the trunk pops!
You do realize that you are not "saving" any of the batteries? Just like the battery on your phone it loses capacity and strength. Yes it will indeed work, but at a VERY limited capacity. If the battery is a decade old, it is still a decade old. Always better off investing in a new fresh unit if it once has gone bad.
True if he were gonna keep it but this is going straight to auction.
With the service theft system check for open recalls I had that message in my caddy it was a bad ignition
I wish I was as jazzed up about my job as Randy. He's always so positive
The trunk release button in a 2006 Buick Lucerne can be found near the driver's footwell on the left side of the dash below the steering wheel. This will allow the trunk of the vehicle to open up. You can also open the trunk by pressing the button that is located on Your key fob. If the trunk does not release that can be a sign of a problem with the actuator for the lock, or an issue with the actual latch itself being out of alignment. If Your trunk does not open with either of those then there is a manual release that is inside of the trunk that can be accessed through the pass through in the back seats of the vehicle.
Looks like this Buick is a winner! Looks well kept!! You stole it! That tornado charger is incredible!!
remember in winter the dooors would not shut at -20 and the windows got stuck open if you want to change the head light assembly you have to drop the bumper .
These things will get down and boogie. Took my parents 09 over 100 on several occasions trying to get to work when my car was broken down.
If the wifey wants to be included as the passenger in the car and wants us to know she's actually there, she should really get over the camera shyness..🤣🤣
And that Buick is definitely a diamond in the rough..
That is a old man donation to Copart that is one solid Buick. Score city people. 😎🇨🇦👍
Huh, that's weird there was no kind of button or lever to pop the trunk; I rented a 2010 Buick Lucerne from Enterprise one time and I just simply pushed the trunk release on the remote key fob.
Took me awhile to find the trunk popper when I had one of them it's on the power lock button lol
Yeah 😂 I was confused to. It’s kinda cool it is on both sides. I’ve never seen that before in any other car.
I like these type of buys. It’s clean and it runs! Makes good time for turn around. 😎👍🏻👍🏻
I would drive that Buick all the time, what a steal Randy, great job 👏👍👌
Step 1: Insert the key into the door lock. Use the side door on the driver's side and the physical key even if there is a keyless entry system on the car. Step 2: Turn the vehicle key to unlock the car door without releasing it. Hold the key for 30 seconds in the position.
Seems like most cars you get are from Texas. Looks like a pretty good score, Randy!
I love the way they put those cars on forklifts. Great for the undercarriage .
My guess is due to the mileage it was donated vs traded in, got more on a tax write off than a dealer would give.
That color is called Sandstone, over Neutral.
Great cars, I'd drive one.
This is a CXS with the 3.6, V6, the CX, and CXL had the larger 3.8 V6.
Thanks for the video, Randy, although a bit late on this one.
I literally thought you were going to hit the Harley when you were looking at the camera .
2 ways to open the trunk: Remote should have a trunk button, plus hold the unlock button till trunk pops.
Those 3800’s are just built different
You can’t beat those Buick’s. Drivetrains are bullet proof. Usually they are well maintained because older people drive them.
you ever find a 61 Buick Special with a nail head v6 please let me know. And you might want to keep an eye out for the and 61/2 tempest with the slant four pontiac
which was literally half of a 389 V8 with a torque tube going to a rear automatic or 4 speed transaxle another tempest indeed some were even supercharged
Im seeing similar cars year, make, model, miles, just over 3k, great win
It's missing a small chrome piece around the quarter panel window on the driver's side. Otherwise, looks as perfect as $675 can buy
Did you check the electrolyte level to see if it covers the lead cells?
Someone really loved and cared about that car :)
That Service Theft System is for the Wiggle you have to do in order to turn the Key my 2012 Impala Did the same it went away on its own and i still had to wiggle the key in order to turn it
It looked to me like the Tornado still needed a little more time to finish de-sulfating the battery,,, the 100% led was still blinking,,, :-)
Always tip the loader driver with 10-20 bucks You’ll be out quick
Trunk release is on the door panel to release the trunk you hold the unlock button and it will release
Would you take 2000 for the Buick?
Haha The tempest is a GTO LOL I almost got blow-by-ridden very pretty red two-door hardtop 67 tempest one year with a 326 power glide I don't know what the Pontiac called the powerglide
I think the trunk release button is in the glovebox on these cars, my grandma has an 04 lesabre and it is in the glovebox
I have a burgundy 2007 cxl hahaha! Crazy to see this for so cheap.. mine is fully loaded with 18 inch rims and sunroof I definitely wouldn’t let it go for less than 3k. Won’t happen though after I fixed the plastic coolant elbows I haven’t had 1 problem with the car. Owned it 4 years as my first car
the trunk release hand is by your left foot in driver seat
I own the Canadian version of this car under the name of Buick Allure. Great car!!
Another home run Randy .. Good for you bud 👍🏻
Randy,
Are you sure that the Buick should be idling in excess of 1K RPM like I saw in the video?
That was funny, as much as you wrestled with that battery, you put it in backward and had to take it out and turn it around,LOL
That's a steal of a deal I have a 05 buick lesabre under 100k miles I love Buick they will outlast a Mercedes any day and maintenance is cheap
Another diamond in the rough buddy. 2500.00/3000.00 all day long. Fix that fender maybe 4000.00 Score for AAR.
Why do you never check the fluids in a battery? Maybe adding electrolyte to level may just do something.
I had a 1988 buick century . It was an absolutely great car!!
