Used Buick Lucerne for Sale near South Bend, IN
Buick Lucerne Overview
Continuing its rebranding in a hope to boost sales and attract younger buyers, Buick has replaced the extremely popular LeSabre with the new full-sized Lucerne. The Lucerne has big shoes to fill, as the LeSabre accounted for more than half of all Buick sales until its demise.
Marketing itself as a luxury sedan, the Lucerne also signals the return of the V8 engine to the Buick lineup after a ten-year absence. Offering upscale comfort and room at a lower price tag than many foreign sedans, the Lucerne comes in three trims (CS, CXL, and CXS) with two different engines. The different trim names are supposed to evoke luxury and sport styling, though they only really vary by their standard features. Even the base model comes loaded with standard power elements, air conditioning, ABS brakes and traction control. Leather seats are the norm for the luxury and sport models, and a navigation system, leather steering wheel, and heated seats are nice options.
The Lucerne has received a big, though decidedly unnoticed marketing push, being featured on Martha Stewart's short-lived "Apprentice" show and serving as the car that toted Tiger Woods around to his appearances in 2006. These stunts hint at Buick's attempt to aim at a younger market than its stereotypical retiree driver.
Still too new to gauge its success or failure, the Lucerne has scored highly for a quiet and comfortable driving experience, and the V8 is a welcome addition under the hood.

Steel body, soundproof, Buick quality,safe, comfortable ride and seats, bullet proof 3800 engine, locate parts easy. Could go on. Beast
Bought this beautiful gold metallic 2011 Lucerne new. Have taken many trips but mostly city driving. Milage is at around 41000 now. I would certainly buy another If I decided that I wanted a new car. Unfortunately 2011 was the last year for the Lucerne
The Lucerne is a very good car, but there are a few issues when the cars become older. The electric door locks dont function properly. The window motors go bad. The TPMS system sensors need to be replaced. And for some of cars that are from the North of the USA, due to the snow and salt, the pinch weld areas (this is where the body frame is attached to the chassis) underneath the car rust out.
I’ve had hundreds of cars in my lifetime mainly because I was in businesses that dealt in cars. The Buick Lucerne stands out from all of those cars as probably being about the best one I’ve ever owned. It has all the things you ‘d ever want in a car, powerful, roomy, great looking and really good on gas for the size of car that it is. With the right tires it’s amazing in snow every bit as good as a four-wheel-drive. The other thing is that it is trouble free. I have not had to replace anything in almost 80,000 miles. This is Buick’s best kept secret!
The car is fine. It has bucket leather seats. Everything about it is luxury. However, I have experienced leg and hip pain after driving this car.
