At Tom Sparks Automotive of DeKalb, Illinois, (near Sycamore), we have had a love affair with the Buick Motor division for more than 75 years. Adli Schultz started the business many years ago in Hinckley, Illinois. He later moved it to DeKalb, Illinois. Tom Sparks purchased the dealership in 1989. He continues to sell cars the old fashioned way, with a smile and a hand shake.

My name is Tim Jennings. I have been working for the company since 1994. Since that time I have seen many cars come and go. The most common cars on our lot are still the Buicks. The Buicks have been called a Farmers Cadillac. As part of their livelihood, a farmer has to research and buy all kinds of machinery. In this area, one of our best customer segments have been the farming community. They get quality at a good price. That’s what Buick brings to the table, a quality car at a fair price. From the 2000 Buick Century to the 2010 Enclave, we try to stock a good selection of quality used cars and trucks.

According to Edmunds.com: “At heart, though, the Lucerne is still a traditional Buick sedan. It’s a front-wheel-drive, full-size car in which passenger comfort takes top priority. Seating is spacious and luxurious in both the front and rear, and Buick’s “Quiet Tuning” measures, which cover everything from the thickness of the carpet padding to the design of the windshield wipers, makes the Lucerne one of the quietest cars on the market. Soft suspension tuning results in a plush, absorbent ride”.

 According to Cars.com the LaCrosse has great value, too.

 Apart from the portholes on each front fender, dual exhaust tips and a small rear spoiler, the LaCrosse Super looks much like the other trims. At 198.1 inches long, it’s longer than both the Milan and the 300. With a front bench seat, an uncommon offering in this class, the LaCrosse can seat up to six. A five-seat model with front bucket seats is also available. The top-of-the-line Super gets a silver-colored center stack and unique gauges. The LaCrosse has roughly the same interior volume as the Milan.
