Though it looks much the same on the outside, the 2000 Buick LeSabre gets a new Park Avenue platform, safety enhancements, and interior updates. The number one selling full-size sedan in the U.S., the LeSabre adds an inch to its wheelbase, though retaining its overall length. This adds more interior room and better performance stability. It also gets standard side impact bags and new front passenger head restraints. Front and rear fascias get tweaked, with new clear headlights, and inside, the dash is more contoured and sports larger gauges and controls. Outside, the dowdy chrome door handles are replaced with sleeker body-colored ones. Even the trunk gets an extra cubic foot of space
The 2000 LeSabre comes in Custom and Limited trims, both featuring two rows of bench seats. In this setup, the roomy sedan can seat six, though front bucket seats are optional on the Limited. Rear seats do not fold down, but there is a trunk pass-through on the Limited. A 3.8-liter, 205-hp V6 engine and 4-speed auto tran power the 2000 LeSabre, and torque peaks at a lower rpm this year. Standard features include dual front airbags, ABS brakes, daytime running lights, cruise control, and power features. Keyless entry is new this year. Upgrading to the Limited gets you wood trim, automatic headlights, auto-dimming mirrors, an alarm system, heads-up display, power seats, and power outlets. New options for the 2000 LeSabre include a sunroof, rain-sensing wipers, and a 12-CD changer. Traction and stability control, leather seats, and a Gran Touring package with a stiffer suspension and bigger wheels are also extra.
Buick's consumers have always been an older crowd, but the newly restyled 2000 LeSabre hopes to attract young families looking for safety, comfort, and lots of space. Drivers say the car handles smoothly, with confident power and decent 20/31 mpg. Seats are comfortable for long trips. Some wish a V8 was offered. The biggest problem with the 2000 LeSabre is failure of the power window regulator. Almost everyone has had to get this repaired.
What owners say

Car shakes real bad on front passenger side as well as bumpy on rough roads! Needs a brand new strut system
July 21, 2025rides comfy as anything out there. has plenty of get up and go. seats 6 and gets decent gas mileage for something so massive. Trunk is enormous, sound system is decent for stock, it has many options and gadgets that are handy
August 31, 2009This is my Grandma's car, which she bought new in 2000 and has driven just over 26,000 miles as of 2008. I actually do not remember if I drove this car or not. I may have, but not sure. It has all available options except the sunroof and trunk-mounted 12-disc CD changer. The acceleration is good, and the car is very smooth and efficient. The handling is what you would expect from a Buick, floaty and rather unresponsive, but the car is very safe and easy to handle. In terms of appearance, it is a beautiful car, and inside it is very elegant and luxurious. There is lots of cargo space, and there is room for 6 people. It even has rear air-conditioning vents. The car is very reliable and dependable, but it does have a few electric gremlins. The power window motors have broken numerous times, once while the window was partially down, the radio had to be replaced because the cassette player ate my car kit adaptor, and the ducting for the rear vents always come loose. While it blows ice cubes, the A/C is very noisy, my dad says it is comparable to a Cessna.

July 21, 2008Love the (true) full size car. Great car at a great price.
December 20, 2007Great car for the open road, very comfortable for long trips, great gas mileage, air ride suspension, everything you expect from a Buick
January 25, 2008I have loved my car..I bought it used and have had mainly good maintainence as my only cost. I have been very happy with my mpg till they changed the injectors and now I am really upset since I see that the highway >20 is certainly to be expected
January 9, 2008I love the "sleekness" off the car. I love the older, but handsome style it has. I also love the dark color of it. Only problem is the brakes squeak from time to time. Great on gas. Great pick up on speed
September 23, 2009Leather seats, awesome tracking, front wheel-drive, automatic, V-6. A get-up-and-go car.
April 2, 2008the buick has balls!!! it may not look like it but it does. it runs smoothly and looks great. its a sleek sporty model. its a fun car to drive the sound system is great and there is plenty of room.
September 23, 2009this car was easy to learn and it was so comfortable as far as driving long distances. I need more cargo space, as I have a small child. the couple of times I did have it in for repairs it was only normal wear and tear such as rotating and balancing tires, oil changes, and once I had to spend a little more ($500) to replace the wheel hub assembly. but this service is one that any vehicle would need after driving so many miles
