It was my moms car, nobody wanted it when she passed, I was thrilled!!! rides great, takes me and my other 3 Pontiac fanatics to all the Pontiac events, in Okla., Tex. Kansas.....
Other cars get better MPG, but parts can bite you, when you least need it.....

I second this. Although I'd opt for a pre-'93 with the all aluminum intake.
I used to get 30-31 hwy MPG routinely with my 88-90 LeSabre 3800s. Now I think the reformulated gas is crimping that a bit. I averaged 29 On a trip to Illinois in my '89 LeSabre last month.
The beauty of these cars is they are way more roomy & comfortable than any other sedan that gets similar mileage.
Fyrffytr has the luxury of finding these cars with no rust where he's at. If you take care of the transmission, they'll go 300K.
