I'm about to buy a "new-to-me" car. I've been an enthusiastic Buick LeSabre driver for a number of years, and would in normal circumstances go straight to buying another, three or so years old.

However, production of the LeSabre has been discontinued, and I wonder if it's wise to buy an orphan car, fearing that availability of parts may be a problem down the way. Does anyone have any thoughts on this?

That's the first question.

Next question: If I decide to go with something else, does anyone have any suggestions for a car that would be as much like the LeSabre as might be around?

Any input would be greatly appreciated.
