When people ask me(down at the shop) what seems to be the least trouble car to buy, I tell them a Buick LeSabre, Park Avenue, or Regal.

We see many for a smog test, but few to do repairs on. And those repairs are small, and inexpensive.

My mom has a 1995 LeSabre, and my dad has a 2002.
1995 ...Oil pan leak, and trans pan leak. Fixed in 2 hrs. Not another problem all these years and miles.

Of course, you'll make everyone assume you're over 50 yrs old if you get one !!!

I'vee seen more fuel pumps bad in Chevy trucks than any other vehicle. And the parts & labor are high, like $300-$900 job, depending on the particular model.

Camaro pumps are high too, and I've seen a bunch.
