2003 Buick LeSabre Limited
My "The Dreamer" 2003 LeSabre Limited finally has arrived! We are in Nashville, TN, introducing ourselves to the Buick Forum!

Greetings to you all Buick Fans!

I am looking forward to fine tune this car, replacing few damaged items, etc, making it into immaculate beauty!

Tell us more about it. Mileage? Options?
 
Here are images of my "Pre modified LeSabre".

I suggest that you change the Upper Intake Manifold if it's the original so it doesn't become a bad dream.
We need to make a list for him dont we.
UIM
LIM gaskets
Coolant elbows
Trans mount (front)
Lower control arms
Transgo shift kit.
New ignition coils,wires and plugs.
Check front valve cover for leak.
Rear shocks.
Oil pressure sender.
Hvac actuators.

All of these are either bad or will be soon.

I bought mine 2 years ago at 143k miles and all of those items were original. At 92k it's a pretty safe bet that the list is close if not right on point.
 
Thank you all for giving me a GREAT start up list to follow up. Here is my SPID/RPO found under the spare tire cover. I'll check each of them and figure out what I got! 🙂 It's time to GRIND GRIND GRIND!

The list is easy for me to remember. I had to do all that and more to my 75k mi "creampuff". It seems previous senior owners of these cars just dont keep em up. I love the car but ill never buy another one unless all of that is addressed. Its a great car once gone over tho,and ill own mine for a long time.

I just added HVAC actuators to the list. Hes got auto temp and dual zone I dont envy him having to figure out the puzzle of which actuator goes where and how to get to em.
