General or Introduction Hi everyone! 07' Allure (LaCrosse)

[ripley072]

My parents had Buicks in the 80's and early 90's, so when I went looking for a daily driver, road trip car, I found this clean, low mileage Allure. Love that 3.8L, how quiet it is on the highway and how it just "floats" down the road. Been getting it serviced and cleaned up, also installed an all new audio system! It does need new front struts, and looks like I may have the TCC solenoid tranny issue but for the price I got it for...can't complain too much. See you in the Forums!

If you are having tranny issues then you should start a new post in the appropriate forum.

This is just my introductory post...I have a shop looking after my suspected tranny problems

Thanks! It had 88k miles when I bought it...now it has 92k (148,000 km's) I'm a bit of a detail geek so I've gone over the entire interior, shampoo'd the carpet, clay bar and polish exterior. Once the mechanicals have been sorted...it will be going in for cut polish color correction.

That's awesome! I'm sure it'll serve you well for many years to come. They don't make 'em like the Allure/LaCrosse anymore...
