Mid-size Sedan · what it costs new, what it’s worth used, and who has one near you.
The 1993 Buick Regal is a mid-size sedan we track across the used market in Canada. It comes in gas (10.9 L/100 km) and hybrid (8.2 L/100 km) forms, so the main choice is fuel — the hybrid earns its premium back over enough kilometres. A 32-year-old one keeps roughly 223% of a current model's market price — what actually matters over five years of ownership.
