July 2, 20196 yr I'm 6'3", I like smooth, quiet, large sedans. I'm not a fan of the Avalon, and I'd like to keep the cost down. I do like creature comforts on a car.

I think you'd be fine with either of the Buicks, however the '16 feels a bit larger inside than the '18. I think you'll appreciate the space.

I was thinking that as well... also, it has a few extra features I'd like. Just wish either car had blind-spot monitoring, but I've driven 25 years without it, so that's not an issue.
July 2, 20196 yr @Paolino Have you looked at the Cadillac XTS? There are some great CPO deals at least around Seattle.

So they're a bit more than I'm willing to spend on a used car. Single teacher here on Long Island, so I need my money for other things to survive! Besides... that semi-circle gauge cluster is god awful. I don't know who approved that.

July 26, 20196 yr What's the price point here? Would an E Class fit in there? I guess if an XTS doesn't an E Class wouldn't either.
July 26, 20196 yr I think I would go with a 2016 Buick and then install the latest version of the stereo system to get the cellphone connectivity.

July 28, 20196 yr I voted the 2016 because it would be cheaper than a 2016 and farther down he depreciation curve. And one Buick Lacrosse is essentially the same as the next. Edited July 28, 20196 yr by smk4565
July 28, 20196 yr 2016 was the last year of the 2nd gen LaCrosse, another factor is how much you like the styling of that generation inside and out vs the 3rd generation (2017 and newer).
