How long do Buick cars last?
Buick models average about 210,000 miles in Carpool's catalog. The LeSabre leads at an estimated 250,000 miles, and the Encore is lowest at 180,000.
These are Carpool's editorial estimates of the miles a well-maintained car typically reaches before major repairs make it uneconomical to keep, informed by long-term reliability and high-mileage studies. They aren't measured data or a guarantee, and individual model years can differ. How Carpool uses them.

What the difference is worth
Take two used Buicks, each priced at $8,000 with 100,000 miles on the odometer. By these estimates, the LeSabre has 150,000 miles left, or $0.053 per mile. The Encore has 80,000 left, or $0.100 per mile. Same price, same mileage, very different value.
