What year was the first Buick LaCrosse Premium?

I want this car my dad had, but I'm on a budget—like a super-saver budget—so I need to look for the oldest model available. What year was the first Buick LaCrosse Premium made?

Sounds like both you and your dad have good taste! The year the first
Buick LaCrosse Premium
debuted was 2012.
The Premium trim of this
Buick
was produced from 2012 to 2019 and was actually broken down into three tiers—Premium I, II, and III. The Premium trims unlocked the following upgrade options:
  • AWD or FWD (the Premium III was only available in FWD for 2012)
  • 3.6L V6 engine with 303 horsepower (as opposed to a base-level 2.4L 4-cylinder with 182 horsepower)
  • Improved suspension
FYI, the standard
Buick LaCrosse
first hit the market in 2005 in the CX, CXL, and CXS trims. These O.G. LaCrosses are most likely to be the cheapest models on the
used car
market.
No matter which Buick you buy, you’ll need the right
