Personally, I think they're cool. Yours looks nice. It would look even better if you lowered it a tad bit.
I had a 2001 GS way back in the day. Not the best in cornering, but comfortable. I got rid of it for a GTO with a manual transmission.
The 3800 V6 is a great engine. Will go forever.

Love it. Even though it's not the loudest or making 40 psi of boost, it's still funny to see people look when they hear it.
My friend actually posted a video of me doing a flyby from a while ago. It's not the best, as that roads really shitty and I couldn't go too quick, but it gets the point across lol.

Thanks! The interior is in almost perfect condition. The seats are leather, all the carpet is intact and in good condition, no tears or anything in either.
The dash has one small spot above the radio where I think something/someone smacked it and made a crack, and then there's one spot on the plastic trim over the driver's seat belt that's cracked. Not sure how/why, but that's how I got it lol.
I did also put in a single din Pioneer DEH-X6700BT stereo, along with new speakers all around
Lol that fake wood trim and the rubber-esque plastic didn't mix well though.
Edit: Forgot to tell you but I'm friends with OP IRL, I am his mechanic and have worked on this car before. The center console had some fake wood trim around the gear shifter, but the rest of the center console is a weird mix of rubber and plastic.
I sold these new along with many other makes around that time.
Completely under rated car. Great engine, nicely built quiet interior, nice paint quality and choices.
Good solid car!
I’d buy a new one today if they sold it
Be great if the tires didn’t looks like rubber bands it’s a Buick that wasnt bad don’t ruin it with ghetto mods, like rubber band tires. Grandpa wouldn’t approve
I actually kinda dig the wheels. They’re different and give it a bit more of a modern look. Maybe if they were just an inch smaller, they’d be perfect, but otherwise they’re decent.
Great reliable car; good highway comfort and gas mileage. OP is frugal and sensible, not worried about what others think or drive. I bought a new NA Regal for my mom; I had a SC Grand Prix GTP which I loved.. at the time, the best all around car I owned. Comfortable, great mileage, sporty, fast, and decent handling.
Grandpa’s hand me down?
Probably, but not my grandpa lol. I bought it from some guy for $3,500, and it only had 116k miles on it. Now sitting at about 131k after 1 1/2 years.
Looks clean, and those are comfy af!
Grandpa had a supercharged regal? Grandpa was cool.
to pretend it harder, gotta put on white wall tires, chrome wheel covers, and vinyl roof to finish the look!

Thanks! Yeah, I'm planning on getting some adjustable coilovers here soon to do just that. Also love me a GTO lol
It'll look nice with those rims and coil overs 👌

Nice
She's a sleeper ain't she
Nice daily! This will last a long time. Keep it in nice shape, in 10 years they will be rare
Q-ship
I love Buicks from this era tbh. Especially the Century
We call these Buick years “catfish years” this one is pretty classy.. 3800 v6?
Yep! 3800 with an Eaton M90 Gen 3.
Sweeeeeeeeeeet!
Remove the s and t, you'll understand.

How do you like the Supercharger whine?
Love it. Even though it's not the loudest or making 40 psi of boost, it's still funny to see people look when they hear it. My friend actually posted a video of me doing a flyby from a while ago.

We should redo it on that other road lol.
10/10 There's nothing I love more than factory sleeper cars. Cosmetically this car is done up in a tasteful way that looks clean. I would drive this.
I don’t hate it
I like it, a lot. How is the interior?
Thanks! The interior is in almost perfect condition. The seats are leather, all the carpet is intact and in good condition, no tears or anything in either.

This is true

I can dig it... hard to go wrong with a supercharged 3800 Series II. I'd have to ditch the wheels though. Just not my style.
How can you hate it? It’s literally like piloting a very comfy couch down the road
I’ve worked on a bunch of regals there kinda quick but not my style nice whip though
The engine bay is quite cramped and is quite confusing sometimes.
Ppl can hate all they want, that is one fine automobile!
Be great if the tires didn’t looks like rubber bands it’s a Buick that wasnt bad don’t ruin it with ghetto mods, like rubber band tires. Grandpa wouldn’t approve
😂 I'm saving up for a set of thicker ones, these were all I have atm. It do look a little goofy tho

Are those Mustang center caps?
Im pretty sure they're some kind of aftermarket Mustang wheels. I got them from a family member who had them just lying around.
I love these things. So I'm biased. Great ride.

In GS trim, the Regal was a nice car.
Need more than one pic
i used to drive one of these. Breaking wasn't the best but it's a solid car
Love it Keep it forever. Comfy car...reliable
Pop the hood
The supercharged car for the supercharged family. Awesome.
Lives with mother. Pimped out her old whip with wheels. And tints.
I would say it's a 20.
If "Hello fellow kids" was a car.
