2005 Buick Allure

Trim: CXS

Excellent car but not always cheap to fix
Owned the car since brand new. I have 220,000 km on it at this point and its still running strong, little major problems with it.

Engine and drive train are perfect. However I had to replace the water pump twice and the power steering pump once. It overheated twice as a result of the water pump failing. I have replaced both front wheel bearing hubs at least 3 times and CV shaft and control arm assemblies at least once.

The interior is in great shape considering the age, the leather has stood the test of time, no cracks or tears. All of the electronics are working but the finish on some of the buttons is smearing off and some of button-lights are also burnt out. The biggest issue is that the car wont start after fueling unless you stand on the gas, which could be a faulty EVAP sensor.

The car is extremely comfortable, has plenty of power and looks great. It has been extremely reliable when in good repair, but has cost quite a bit in repairs over the years.
