I have owned mine for 9 years.

I have owned mine for 9 years. Bought it used in 2017 and I love it. My job requires traveling by car and I have over 150,000 miles on it. Despite being fully loaded with all the toys, my leather edition never breaks down. It has never left me stranded. I would put the reliability of this vehicle up against any Japanese car.

Maybe that’s why the value of the car has held steady. It is a shame Buick stopped making them in 2017.
