Did Buick make a 3.1L V6 for 2002 LeSabre?

What makes you think it's a 3.1 ?

According to Edmunds website, only a 3.8 was offered in 2002

OK car if you don't mind the low gas mileage. Big and hard to maneuver. The 3.3-3.8 was probably the best GM V-6 ever made however it did have a major problem with coolant leaking into the intake manifold which eventually destroys the engine. Do a Google search for: gm 3.8, intake manifold leak

Unlikely the engines were switched. It would not be worth the thousands of $$$ not including engine and trans and hundreds of work hours to get it to work. Besides, you can easily tell by looking at it. The 60 degree 3.1 looks way different than the 90 degree 3.8.

If it's a 2002 LeSabre they only came with the 3.8 V6.

The Buick Century in 2002 had a 3.1

Thank you. I'll look under the hood this time. The seller repeatedly said it was a 3.1 and since I hadn't researched larger sedans prior to seeing it I was uninformed.

Thank you. I've a call in to see if perhaps he meant to say 3.8.

That's what the seller said but I didn't think to look under the hood at that time. Thank you.

Really appreciate the assistance. Heard back from the seller who retracted the 3.1 to say it was indeed a 3.8. Now that that is straightened out it seems like it could be a safe and dependable car for my girl.

Just to let you know: there is only one reason why teenagers are willing to drive enormous boats like this. It's because there is plenty of room in the back seat for making out.

No, it's because somebody else was willing to pay for it. A large underpowered low-status car is the perfect first car for a kid.

Yipes! She said it was so her tall family would sit comfortably. Next!

Craigslist? Kijiji? Where's the ad so we can point out a hundred flaws in the car. We'll start with the seller not even knowing what engine it has.
