SHHHHHH!  Don't tell anyone!  When it comes to fuel economy and roomy comfort, America's Best Kept Secret is right under our noses and available to everyone in the U.S. 

Check any car lot or classified ad, search eBay Motors  and you will find the late model Buick Regal, LeSabre and the slightly larger Buick Park Avenue.

Where else can you find an American-built vehicle that runs over 250,000 miles without any engine repairs, averages 25 to 30 miles per gallon on the highway and seats five or six adults?  Honda can't do it!  Toyota can't do it!  Especially not at the low prices you can buy a nearly-new Buick Regal, LeSabre or Park Avenue.

The heart of the SECRET is Buick's rock-solid 3800 V-6 engine that has been around for decades.  This universal powerplant cranks out plenty of power, tremendous fuel economy and reliable service.  It doesn't matter if you have an early 90's Buick or 2005 model, the 3.8 Litre Buick engine is like Mick Jagger...Runs forever!

Most are LOADED with comfort options.  Expect to pay somewhere from $3000 to $7000 for an older body style late 1990's LeSabre or Park Avenue with reasonable miles.  The newer 2000+ body styles will run you from $8000 to $15,000 with the exception of the Park Avenue Ultra that sports a Super Charger on its 3800 motor (not as good mileage and more repairs down the road, especially in colder climates).

WANT TO DRIVE A CAR FOR "FREE" EVERY YEAR?  Here's how to do it.  Purchase a good low-mileage used Buick with the 3800 motor on eBay at 20% below book value!  Drive it for a year or two, then sell it from your home, on a Park-N-Sell Lot or through your local classifieds.  Most likely, you'll get almost what you paid for the car two years ago when you go to sell it.  These cars hold their value and because of their popularity, there is STRONG demand for good used Buick LeSabres and Park Avenues.  You could go the next ten years driving newer Buicks and have a net cost of ZERO if you're patient and buy them right, at least 20% below retail value.  Remember, dealers are buying these off lease at auction for 30% below retail so the market is fairly saturated, but since they are so popular, there is still STRONG local demand.

Here's the SECRET Japan, Germany and other countries are trying to duplicate!  How do you match the 30+ miles per gallon a Buick equipped with a 3800 powertrain will provide along with six passenger comfort and reliability that often exceeds 250,000 miles?  You don't!  Pick one up today as an extra car for your family.  It will soon become your travel partner of choice because of the smooth ride, plenty of elbow room and low maintenance costs.  You'll love how you can travel 500 miles on a tank of gas too!

We've owned a few and LOVED THEM!  My children always teased me that I looked like an old timer driving my Buick, but guess what?  Those white-haired putt-putts know what they're talking about and they still have most of their money in the bank!  You'll find great used Buicks on eBay every day of the week.  One of America's Best Sellers and "AMERICA'S BEST KEPT SECRET" for decades!
