    In spite of those "experts" who have been posting all of their negative comments about what you are selling, I know you are doing a great job. Even with a $2,995 car, you still take the time to get it road ready and point out all of the flaws just like it was one of your low mileage gems. Stay the course Anthony and Papa Bear 🐻

    I have alot of respect for you. This video seemed so painful for you to make. I do understand what you meant by saying people expect to much when buying a cheap car. And I also in away understand people expecting more because most the time it's all the money they have but not to sound mean that really isn't your fault. I am upset at myself for not getting the chance to buy that Lexus LS 330 you recently showed on TH-cam. That was my price range and I'm sure it would have lasted me until I'm no longer able to drive. Again thanks for being a good man. Most car dealers would say this Buick is a diamond in the rough.

      @@RustyZipper This is true. During the 1990's I was a young guy in my 30's. All people I knew my age were moving up in the world and were buying cars I drooled over. Camry's, Maxima's. Accords, Acura Legends......
      I could only afford beat up chevy's. I lived in a dump and struggled. It took many years but finally I had success the last decade or so. I have bought some 20 cars during the past decade, all these 90's cars I couldn't have back then. I wanted to experience what I couldn't have back then. I never sold one of them, gave them away instead. I spent a fortune sorting out all these cars and making them perfect. I gave 3 of them(Maxima & 2 Accords) to my landscaper. He struggles a bit so he sold them quickly for some good cash and is eternally grateful. The rest went to family members. If the alternator went bad 6 months later, I heard about it.
      If you want an enemy, give him something.

      Yup, but they also get screwed over a lot too. The cheap price range attracts the worst sales too. Customers won't pay for an independent mechanic to do a PPI, do Payday type loans instead of cash, etc. some of these folks are scraping by working 3 jobs and swing into a used lot on their lunch break while driving a friends loaner. No time for doing homework. It attracts the type of salesmen that give the car industry the worst reputation. Anthony is a gem! But he recognizes that he doesn't usually target this customer segment.

      Most of them expect the car to run as a daily driver without having to spend $3,000 to repair it. Not for someone who is not capable of major repair work should even consider buying this one. Just to fix the minor oil leak' he says this one has' will take your mechanic 3 hours, just to remove the oil pan. That's a $500 repair just to replace a $70 gasket. This is not your "father's Oldsmobile"

    These can be wonderful cars and last well over 200,000 miles if you take care of them and do proper preventative maintenance with that 3.9 V6. Some repairs can be rather costly because parts on these cars while certain parts can be expensive because they share parts with a Cadillac but for the most part these are very good cars for people who like a quiet comfortable ride especially people who travel long distances. I love my Lucerne it's definitely not going anywhere in a hurry lol but it's a comfortable spacious ride

    It would be a great first car for a teenager.
    I did not have a Buick but I did have a 2007 Chevy Impala with the 3.9 V6. Best thing to tell the person who purchases this vehicle is preventive maintenance is everything.
    Under the hood my Impala was completely original I replace nothing same with the transmission I traded it with 155,000 miles it still had all the dealer markings and stickers on it over 95% of the engine.
    I changed the oil and filter every 3500 miles.
    Everyone loves the bulletproof 3.8 I owned several of those great engines
    But I also love the 3.9 and I have to admit and everybody's going to argue about this I also love the 3.6 the reason why I say preventive maintenance is I didn't know those Vehicles had a timing chain issue until after I no longer had them LOL!
    I had a 2007 Saturn Aurora XR 3.6 V6 trade it with 151,000 miles original engine, transmission and timing chain I like the engine so much I purchased a 2014 Chevy Impala and I wouldn't buy it unless it had the 3.6 in it.
    Same with that vehicle the original engine, transmission, and timing chain 160,000 miles when traded it. After I no longer have the vehicles that's when I heard about the 3.6 V6 troubles.
    I may have just gotten lucky twice but I believe preventative maintenance is key. 😊

    This is a great deal given the used car market right now, and Lucernes make a nice daily driver, they're screwed together pretty nice and aren't expensive to keep going. DTS Lite.
    This car has the 3.9/3900 V6 "High Value" engine. These are based on the older GM 60° V6 engine family, and are a cousin of the 3500 V6 that came in FWD Impalas, etc. These are not a bad engine, after cars like the Lucerne ended production, GM went with the 3.6 "High Feature" engine family instead, and those are the engines with timing chain issues, etc.

      @klwthe3rd CXS was the top of the line model with the Northstar and different interior appointments. The CXL was the mid range that could be had with the Northstar or the V6, after a few years I think options were shuffled or made standard, the CXS became the Super and the CX and CXL remained below that

      @klwthe3rd they really should have just kept the Lesabre or Park Ave nomenclature to these cars. As you can see it was confusing with no carryover history to it
