If it's anything like my old 98 LeSabre that car will soon become your favorite. No one looks at it twice, reliable, cheap insurance & fueling, QUIET, smooth on the highway.

My 98's front wheel bearings failed @ 80k, apparently a common problem. I was able to replace them in the driveway, the only special tool needed is a larger(T45? 50? 55?) torx bit. A made-in-USA hub unit(with internal ABS sensor) was around $85/side. Did the brakes at the same time because they were cheap.

Mine presented as a light grinding noise that I couldn't pinpoint, until it randomly self-destructed at 70mph. Coasted to the side and flatbed towed home.
