Q: Exterior lights

asked by on October 31, 2016

Your advice recently was helpful so lets try another question, Now I'm considering an '07 Buick La Crosse CXL at $3,400 under value,with 97,000 mi. My research tells me there is a consistent problem with the exterior lights. Supposedly Buick dealer has no parts to repair the problem. To your knowledge is this a legitimate response,and if so ,how to remedy this and at approximately what cost ? I value you opinion and even though you are not in my immediate area I really recommend your services to anyone who could use your help. Thanks , OG
