Buick LaCrosse Window Sticker

The Buick LaCrosse window sticker — build, options & years

The Buick LaCrosse ran from 2005–2019 across 2 generations (2010–2016, 2017–2020). Its Monroney label captures exactly how each one left the factory — the build, the options it was optioned with and the price, built around the 3.6L, 6-cyl, Regular fuel, Front-Wheel Drive powertrain.

Which year's sticker do I need? Any Buick LaCrosse VIN works — ForCar reads the exact model year automatically. On owner data the cleanest years are 2005, 2007, 2010; the most-complained-about are 2006, 2008, 2012. For year-by-year recalls, MPG and safety, see the full Buick LaCrosse VIN decoder.

What the Buick LaCrosse sticker says about fuel

Fuel economy is a legally required block on every Monroney label — city, highway and combined figures plus the estimated annual fuel bill. These are the EPA numbers on file for the LaCrosse, latest tested year 2019:

The label also prints an estimated $2,375 a year in fuel at 15,000 miles, and 392 g/mi of CO₂. EPA files the LaCrosse under Midsize Cars, which is the class it gets compared against on the sticker.

How the LaCrosse's sticker figure changed

Combined MPG printed on the label, model year by model year — 2005 to 2019. Worth checking before you compare a LaCrosse sticker from one year with another:

Over that span the combined figure rose by 6 mpg, so an early sticker and a recent one describe noticeably different cars. EPA revised its testing method in 2008, which shifts figures printed before and after that year.

Safety ratings printed on the label

The second required block: NHTSA's five-star crash results. This is what the LaCrosse sticker carries as of its 2019 rating:

Stars are awarded per test, so a car can hold five overall and fewer for rollover — tall vehicles usually give ground there. Compare against every rated model in the safest cars ranking.

What a used LaCrosse sells for now

The label froze the LaCrosse price on the day it left the factory; the market has moved since, and this is where it landed: median asking price of the LaCrosse by model year, from 230 live US listings:

A 2019 LaCrosse asks a median $6,950 today, a 2007 about $3,495. Full breakdown on the Buick LaCrosse value page.

What's on the Buick LaCrosse sticker

Every Monroney label carries the same required blocks: MSRP with itemised options, EPA fuel economy — for this car 27 mpg combined, NHTSA safety ratings — 5 stars overall here, standard and optional equipment, and parts-content origin. Every LaCrosse VIN returns its own build rather than a generic spec.

For how to read each block, what to do if the sticker is lost, and how it differs from a build sheet, see the window sticker guide.

Where to find the VIN on a Buick LaCrosse

1. WindshieldLower-left corner, driver's side, readable from outside without opening anything.
2. Door jambOn the driver's door frame of every LaCrosse, next to the tyre-pressure and build-date plate.
3. DocumentsRegistration, title and insurance card — on a Buick LaCrosse all three must show the same number.

All four must match. A Buick LaCrosse whose windshield plate disagrees with the door jamb has either had a panel replaced or a tampered identity — check the paperwork before any money changes hands.
