vidsal Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 (edited) 1988 Buick LeSabre T-type Custom Coupe, 63k mi, runs and drives well, new tires, needs interior work and weatherstripping. I'm asking $2400 and will consider offers. This car came from Tucson, AZ two years ago. It has been stored inside near Santa Fe, NM ever since. I planned to restore this one, but I have two other LeSabre T-type cars - trio picture below. Unfortunately this car will need serious interior work as it was outside most of its life. The paint is faded. The mileage is low for the year and the drivetrain/suspension operate well. The original air dam and spoiler are intact. The original black grille was replaced at some point with a more common chrome trimmed one. The hood is dented and I'll include a straight replacement. The tires have under 1000 miles on them. I have a clean/clear NM title in my name. If interested, please let me know. Thanks!

vidsal Posted August 4, 2015 Author Share Posted August 4, 2015 (edited) Ah yes, the grille. Maybe I'm crazy, but it's somewhat unusual and definitely has chrome unlike my other two cars, other LeSabre T-types. Maybe my pictures are not showing it too well and I'll try another today.

vidsal Posted August 4, 2015 Author Share Posted August 4, 2015 (edited) Here are some pictures of the grille on 88 LeSabre T-type for sale, grille on my 88 sedan parts car and grille on one of my 89 T-type models, it could be faded I guess to expose chrome. It could probably be painted black with decent results. Edited August 5, 2015 by vidsal (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vidsal Posted August 27, 2015 Author Share Posted August 27, 2015 No great offers so far. $1900 is my bottom. I may end up keeping it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TxBuicks Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 A fair price for a rare Buick. I'm surprised it is still available. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vidsal Posted October 8, 2015 Author Share Posted October 8, 2015 I sold the car yesterday. It only took a few hours from my repost to craigslist which had the price drop to $1900. I hope the new local buyer is happy with the car. He said when he was born he was brought home from the hospital in a Grand National....backseat babyseat. I'm sure he'll be looking for interior parts like dash, door panels, visors etc. I can probably get anyone selling that stuff in touch with him. Thanks!

vidsal Posted April 25, 2016 Author Share Posted April 25, 2016 For those of you that followed this car on the LeSabre T-type site, I bought it back from the buyer after they couldn't start it at the end of the winter. It would have been a shame to see it go to the crusher. I trailered it home and put in a new ignition module which was the problem. It runs and drives again nicely. I'm getting ready to sell it again since I have my other two still. If interested, just PM me or call w the # above. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vidsal Posted May 2, 2016 Author Share Posted May 2, 2016 I forgot to mention that the price is now $1400 or make an offer. It's approaching practical driver price territory now and will probably sell once I put it up on craigslist locally again. I just put in a new driver's side power window regulator guide, tape and motor in over the past week. I washed the car over the weekend and it's pretty much the same as it was when I sold it last fall. The license plate bracket is in the trunk.

vidsal Posted August 24, 2016 Author Share Posted August 24, 2016 I just put this back on CL which I hadn't done in the spring since I had a buyer from out of state that didn't end up taking it. I'm certainly negotiable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thriller Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Oh so tempting. I think there's a bit too much on my plate right now. Good luck. If it was local I'd be hard-pressed not to buy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vidsal Posted August 25, 2016 Author Share Posted August 25, 2016 No, unfortunately it doesn't work. This should help with some other details I may have neglected to post above over the months: http://santafe.craigslist.org/cto/5748013410.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesabre T-type Chris Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 Hello, i would like like to learn more about this car. I may have an interest in purchasing it. Can you please private message me? Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vidsal Posted September 6, 2016 Author Share Posted September 6, 2016 I sold the car 30 minutes ago. If anyone wants it from the new owner, I can probably put you in contact with him. It's going to be a daily driver again I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
