Bought the car "new" on 7/4/07. On 7/8/07 the transmission would not downshift into first gear. Took the car to a buick dealer where they fixed a defective part. Drove the car home that night and the problem started again. Brought the car to another dealer and they diagnosed the same problem. The car is still in the shop today. I've owned the car for 11 days and it's been in the shop 8 days and counting.
