2005 Buick LaCrosse. 130,000 miles. 2 transmission services at the dealer, plus all then normal stuff done at the dealer as well.
I paid 3800 dollars for it. I am happy with it even if I have to do the transmission at some point, but it shifts very nice, no codes and best of all no leaks. The best shifting used 3800/4T65E I have owned. Old people owned it. When I say old they were in their 80's, they left it to their son when they passed. I used to work with the guy he has had it 2 years and put about 3000 miles on it. I work with his son now. That is how I found out about it.
Son's truck will go into storage on the property in the back shop. I won't sell it because everything on it is fixed now and it is a rust free GMT400. Plus my son paid for everything on it and wants to keep it.
This car about doubles the gas mileage of his truck. Sold our dirt bikes and quads. We never used them. So room for the truck and the sale of those covered everything on this car.
Car will get the normal stuff I do to my 3800/4T65E cars. Intake gasket, transmission service with shift kit and aux transmission cooler. The front brakes are good but have a slight warp, so those will get changed out too.
Today just an oil change and coolant swap so he can start driving it. (not sure it even needs it, but that is the OCD in me.)
Drove it home 45 minutes everything works and to be honest it is a really nice driving, smooth and quiet car. I like it more than I should.
Should clean up very nice.
