3800 engine was too reliable so GM had to discontinue it

Gm could produce that engine for a few hundred dollars. GM could produce the Iron Duke 4 cylinder for literally $100 at one point. For years you could buy a brand new GM Goodwrench 350 Chevy that was complete with oil pan and valve covers for $600 bucks full retail which means it cost GM maybe, what, $150 to $200 to produce?

Had they not discontinued it they probably would have used the 3800 in the current Silverado as an engine choice instead of a 4 cylinder not only that GM could've had their own equivalent to Ford's EcoBoost in V6 configuration.

I just purchased a ‘96 Buick Regal Custom w/ Dynaride suspension for $4k and it was owned by 1 woman, garage kept and with 138k miles as a reliable work car. Going through 5 cars in the past 2 years with nothing but bad luck was exhausting. Thank you for making me feel a lot safer and relieved knowing more about this gem!

Back when GM actually tried. I’d take one of these over a Camry of the same vintage any day.

I love my old Buick. 205K miles, no thought of replacing it.

When I was a little boy, I would blow my lips to imitate engines and the GM 3800 V6 was one of my favorites to imitate. It had this throaty snarl even at lower speeds taking off. Some of the neighborhood children thought I was weird LOL but they didn't understand my love for cars. It's funny cause some of the adults did. The W-Body is like the late 1980s/1990s mall parking lot car. Oh, how I miss those days.

I drive a 1996 buick regal 3.8, I put about 150,000miles on her, same exact style and color, thing is simple to work on and good gas mileage relative to the engine size and plenty of power. It's been through 4 deer and a guard rail, keep this car man, it won't let you down. Way better then the 2004 pt cruiser I used to drive, I love this car and have no plans getting rid of it. And the 3.8 is definitely the best engine gm has ever made.

The 3800 series III is the best engine GM ever made, because it solved the 1 main problem on the series II - the composite (plastic) upper intake plenum. The 3800 series III opted for an aluminum upper intake. Moving the needle from almost bulletproof to truly bulletproof. Love the 90's-00's Buicks.

When I saw "The Best Of Liberace ", I was sold ! That girl knew QUALITY ! Throw in the Ray Charles, and how can you miss .

My grandpa had one, same color, leather seats though. That car always smelled brand new, even in 2014 when he died. He bought it because when he was a young man Buick was a known, well made brand. He formerly owned a 75 Oldsmobile delta 88, a 69 ford gran torino fastback, and some green woody wagon in the 70's

That is in amazing condition. You might regret selling this one

Love this car! I recently bought a 1999 Mercury Grand Marquis GS from a estate sale. It had 75k miles, and was a 1 owner, garage kept, dealer serviced car. Its in showroom condition. I love it to death and so all my friends and family. Im keeping it for probably the next decade. Its really comparable to this one. Base model, power seats, power windows, cassette player (still works and I use it). Its just such a simple car. Its so nice to get in one of these base model older cars. No screens or anything.

Great video Chris.... just love the "older" cars. My mother owned an early 90's Buick LaSabre. It was a tank but a lot of fun to drive. You found a real Gem in this Regal and maybe after you've driven it a few months, you might change your mind and decide to keep it; it looks like a fun car to cruise around in. And that cassette player and tapes...takes me back to the 70's and 80's....:)

I bought a 92 from an estate back in 2015. Limited. Red leather and loaded it had 22k miles but no working A/C I bought it for $3000. Replaced A/C compressor and drove it to about 28k. It was awesome. I have a few old videos on my channel. Sold it for $4000 and it went to a new owner. Shortly after it was rear ended and totaled. The last gen regal has always been a favorite of mine. This one is beautiful. I love it!

This was the best looking W Body. Buick's were well built in the 90's. $2500 with 28k miles is an awesome deal!!

My mom had a 95 Regal. Learned to drive and passed my driver's test in it. I used to take it out on the weekends and meet up with my buddies. They all had "cooler" cars (Hondas, Acuras, etc) but if we all needed to go somewhere in one car, it was the Regal. Comfortable seats, plenty of room for 5, best car to cruise in, I miss it.

Love me some Buicks!!! I've went from a 1980 Regal to a 1989 Riveria to my present car, a 2000 LeSabre. NEVER had major trouble with my Buicks other than O-2 sensors and window regulators on my LeSabre. Thanks for the video. If I was near where you are, I'd buy that Regal in a heartbeat!!!!!!!

Absolutely beautiful car! Cars like this are harder and harder to find. Wish I was able to make room for this beauty here. And yes, the 3800 series is the best engine I think GM ever made. Great find.

Hey Chris. Glad to see your doing well! Ya know when you point out all those cool details, like the swooping belt line, it's really a cool car. The while appearance, in and out, it's just really smooth to the eye. Good find man.

After sept 11, I needed a car to take me to the ferry, since the PATH trains no longer could take me to work. I got the 1993 version of this car, same color. I paid $3k. Mine was from an estate sale and it had 69k miles on it but was pristine. One thing you will notice is that this car is fantastic in the snow. So much so, I called it the tractor. I kept it 6 years and it served me well.

I had a 04 century. Last year model. Everything youre talking about, i can relate. Quite, always fired up, smooth ride. I love that thing

You hit the lottery bro! Excellent...

Buick made some truly solid cars in the 90's!!!

Other than a few minor scrapes this Regal looks brand new! What a lucky find. Even the beige colour which would normally put me off looks good on this car. I would also recommend thoroughly cleaning the carpet inside the car.

Henry Mancini did the Pink Panther Theme

I love it! I wish Buick and every other brand still made a sedan like this, for fleets and people like me who still want this ride quality and basic trim. I had a 1998 Monte Carlo LS with similar split bench seat, beige interior, column shift but had the smaller 3100 V6. To get the 3800 in the Monte you had to step up to the Z34 model.

Thanks so much for stopping by for today's Buick Regal video. I appreciate that and I really appreciate these older cars with minimal electronics, do-dads and other things that break. Long live the simple, reliable and cheap cars!!!

I enjoy your vids immensely and have an affinity for older Buicks and Mercs. I owned a 96 Century named Betsy with the 3.1 L for years and the only major repair I had to do were the lower intake gaskets shortly after purchasing it used. Sold it to my brother who drove the heck out off her for a few more years before eventually selling her to a high schooler. A month later, the car was rear ended and that was that. I also had an 03 Lesabre with the 3.8. Should have kept her longer. Keep up the great vids.

In twenty to twenty five years from now there will be someone writing or making a video about how the cars from 2020 are the best cheap cars you can buy. We poke fun at senior drivers for driving slow and mostly not driving more than just a couple of thousand miles a year - meanwhile we hope to be the winning bidder on their over maintained and extremely well preserved car when they can no longer drive. Unused, garaged, non-smoker, highly maintained cars will always be the best cheap car you can buy. Those W-body cars were not known for reliability when new, they had their fair share of issues and ranked low in customer surveys. The hard part about cheap cars is finding one that was lovingly cared for and not driven, doesn’t matter the brand or model.

I bought a 94 Regal Grand Sport for my daughter, loved it so much I took it back, she wanted an Accord anyway!

Reminds me of our Gold 93 Lumina Euro. Yes, it was the 3.1 litre Chevy instead of the bullet proof 3800, but it had the optional 16" aluminum wheels. Very sharp, with really clean simple lines. It was a huge upgrade over our 87 Celebrity and I regretted when they traded it for the bulbous, bloated replacement model. We loved that car, and I'm sure I'd pay a premium for a solid survivor.

i got a 1996 regal last year in red! glad to see people are still appreciating this hidden body style with the 3800 :^)

But holy crap is that CLEAN, especially for Philly where cars this age(even well cared for ones) rust to pieces. Also such an old lady option(or lack of options) combo, gotta love the gold and plastic hubcaps.

That’s a sweet car man! Most people don’t understand how well made those old 90s GM cars were because they were marketed towards the elderly crowd so they were very well built. Good to see that car in the shape it’s in today. 96 was the last year for GM having all those big old body style cars that everyone loved so much. In 97 they changed a lot of things to newer more modern designs. The C4 Corvette, Buick Roadmaster, Chevy Impala SS, Lumina APV van (olds and Pontiac vans too) Cadillac Fleetwood, all met the end in 96

We sold it last year to some Volvo fanatic who is restoring it.

Honestly I found the best cheap car to be the 90s Toyota Camry. It's roomy, inexpensive, parts are cheap and plentiful, the MPG is good, the transmissions are almost infallible unless driven by someone who treats them exceedingly poorly, the power is ok, they cruise well, there's room for a full size spare tire, and the 97 to 99 Camrys look damn good.

That 3800 has a very weak cooling system in it didn’t know it at the time but there’s a plastic elbow that breaks and when it does it empty’s the coolant out of it and you can crack the block. Loved the car.

I drove my moms ‘98 Buick Century, that also had a weird gas & break pedal height difference. I was 15 on a drivers permit. Since I was a new driver, I hit the gas instead of the breaks when parking up to a curb. Hit the curb and the airbags deployed, shattering the windshield. One of only two minor accidents I ever had was when I was 15 in that ‘98 Buick Century. I would buy the regal, but I already have an ‘08 Lucerne with the 3.8.

I found the '93 and it's in as good of shape as I could reasonably hope to find for its age and mileage. Still shines up, runs, and drives amazing. Have spent more on parts than I paid for the car but it doesn't need all that much more. I doubt I've taken care of and bought more for any car than I have for this one.

@@VinylToVideo I think it's definitely worth it! they're great cars and now they're pretty dang rare!I've probably but about $1700 in my 94 including 2 sets of tires.i definitely think it's worth it to keep it on the road!

I had a 1993 that got side swiped great car..i got a 2004 rendezvous in 2007 with 33k miles and it lasted 250k miles til someone pulled out and totaled it. Buick is definitely the most reliable domestic brand.

Oh man, Chris, that is a BEAUTY!! 3800 and all. I had a 93 Lumina but always wanted a Regal... eventually got a 95 Bonneville with a 3800 :) Wish you could keep it, but I get it, only so much driveway space :(

Right on man. I didn't understand the lore of the 3800 engine until I got this car. Man that thing is buttery smooth, quiet and has pretty good power too. I get it now. I really do.

Great car. I've had 2 of these and a 92 Cutlass Supreme. Great,long lasting cars. It's not the most basic of the Regals, it would have the 3100. That car would be a much better choice as a winter driver, doors tend to freeze up though

Dude, you're totally right. I had forgotten about the 3.1 V6. I didn't know about the doors freezing and that would suck. And with having had 4 W-body cars, no doubt you know exactly what I was saying about the radio being low down, the throttle too far behind the brake pedal and sitting low.

@@hullingeri had the doors freeze up on my 94 regal... only once but it was a really cold day! Back when Texas had the big freeze... I'm in Nebraska though

What a gem. Great buy.

I saw an episode of Pawn Stars where the Old Man referring to the Buick Regal said: "some cars should never be made" ! I had a base '80 Buick Regal, nice car always started..

My first car was a 96 regal custom. Drove it form 07 to 13. Only sold it because of rusting issues. Still miss old Ironside. Lol

You can’t beat that for 2700 . Post that thing on market place , that engine 3800 series is a well built and reliable engine ! Won’t last long I bet

Love your channel keep the videos coming

Nice story on how much our cars mean to us. Frankly, I'd love to own a same era Park Avenue.

You and me both! Thanks for checking out the Buick video!

I bought a similar car but the Pontiac version not long ago. A Grandma's 1997 grand prix SE 3800 36k on it. Really nice almost new.
