Good morning all,
We're thinking about purchasing a vehicle for a friend of ours who is having a child soon and could use one. We don't want to spend a ton of money on it and it's actually just to get around town (we live in a small town) so no longer than 10 mi each way commutes.
My father-in-law has a 2004 Buick LeSabre that he doesn't use very often. It runs pretty well, has an occasional hard shift from the transmission. It is a Midwest car, so it does have some rust on the rocker panels, gas cap area, etc and I believe it has 175,000 mi. I can't say for sure but I do believe that the AC works.
If we did buy it I would plan on going through it changing fluids that needed to be changed, spark plugs, fuel treatment and a good once-over.
Without accounting for the potential family factor what would you folks pay for this car?
