Default New member with a Buick

Hey everyone! Just joined but have had my Buick for about a month. Its a 2008 Buick Lacrosse Super in Platinum Metallic with Titanium leather interior. The few options that were checked off for my Super include the 18" chrome nine-spoke wheels and single disc/mp3 Concert Sound III sound system. No sunroof. I haven't done much to the car and don't plan on it. Got the factory Buick rubber floormats (Chicago) and rubber trunk mat. Going to switch to Amsoil this month for the motor. Already had new Dunlop Direzza DZ101 when I bought the car. The UTQG on the tires is 300 so those will be lucky to last 15,000 miles. Needs to go into the dealer for a TSB steering clunk (out of warranty) and the right rear Bilstien strut has failed internally so I also need to replace that. Other than that, it has been a phenomenal car. Complete sleeper, no one pays any attention to you when your in this car. I LOVE it! Super stealth, under the radar car. I really would love to get another one in Mocha. Here is a teaser picture for now until I can get some new pictures.

On a side note, I'm a Buick guy at heart but not your typical Buick owner at 20.

Hey!! Another Buick guy.

I have a neighbor with a Mocha Super (pic in sig) and his car is equally as nice.

On a side note, I tried to purchase a Silver Super before I bought mine but the dealer wouldn't budge...not even on a '08 leftover.

Sweet car and I hope you enjoy it.
