What Our Members Are Saying about the Price of the Buick LaCrosse
| Price of the Buick LaCrosse: Cons | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2010 | 4dr Sedan 255-horsepower 3.0L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Low residual values make it expensive to lease. |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 200-horsepower 3.8L V6 4-speed automatic FWD |
A bit overpriced considering the differences between Impala and LaCrosse. |
