1998 Buick Century Custom Sedan 4-door 3.1l on 2040-cars

You are bidding on a 1998 Buick Century Custom (loaded), 4 door sedan.  The car has 50,350 original  miles, .

It has a 3.1 Liter Engine with Automatic Transmission,  28-30+ MPG highway, ALL Accessories work like new.

Car is all Power – Windows/Seats/ Door Locks.  SUNROOF, AC (perfect), Premium Radio System,

 Cruise  Control, Tilt Wheel, 2 working Remotes

I will describe the car as accurately as possible, both for the average buyer and also the best I can for any special enthusiast/collector. Someone looking for a creampuff.  My goal is to represent the car accurately.  Take time to read this whole description and as questions are asked I no doubt will make added comments in the last paragraph of the description as the auction week proceeds.   

Nothing is better than you actually seeing the car for yourself or to see it via a representative.  I am open to that option but will not be driving the car to any location or facility.

The car has been garaged its entire life.  The mock convertible type top is in excellent plus condition.

There are no dents or what can be considered scratches on the car.

I have had the car for the last 6 months, putting no miles on the car.  The car was my elderly father-in-law’s car, he has passed and gave me the car.  I simply am not driving the car and am in the process of downsizing the number of vehicles I own. The car has been garaged  its entire life, never driven in snow, I don’t think it hardly has ever been rained on over the years.

There is not one issue with the running or performance of this car.

Mechanical

I can provide you with the Ohio Emissions Certificate- Passed ( State of Ohio).

The tires are close to new, the brakes also have very little wear.  The car is very smooth and comfortable to drive.  

Accessories/Interior

Electrically, the car has Power door locks, windows, seats, side- view mirrors.  The  headlights have a sharp clear glass which is result of it being garaged. All Accessories work perfectly, as all other lights: tail, brake, turn-signal, hazard, dash, console, inside courtesy, underhood, side marker, outside courtesy etc.

The seats are a slate blue with a fleck in it with a soft but sturdy material (original).  The seats are supportive but at the same time comfortable, virtually new and the back seat has probably not been used more than a few dozen times.  There are no rips or tears or any signs of popped threads on the seats.

What is important to note is that the car has a bench seat with column shift.  This may seem dated a bit, but if you have a family or occasion to drive 6 people, it’s seat belted for Six !  Only 5 passengers ?, flip the Console down for the armrest and space.

Body/Paint/Wheels

The body has no dents, holes or damage to it. Nothing has been drilled or attached to the body.  No accidents to my knowledge, again it is original.

The paint condition overall is excellent.  The car is very appealing in its appearance, good gloss and for the general eye the usual comment is that it looks sharp.  Here is the most accurate description for blemishes, any discolorations etc. that I can note.  Driver’s side very bottom edge of front fender just in front of door/ driver side bottom edge, just in front of rear wheel had been touched up. Standing back 3 or 4 feet and it is not seen, you have to look for it.  where you like (garage etc.)  I didn’t post pictures with the top off, since I had no one available to help lift off the top.  It is advisable you always have someone to help , it is no problem at all (3-4 minutes) with a helper so you avoid scratching something.

The wheels are the factory original(steel) with the center Buick Emblem ( see pics).  They are clean and look  good.  

There are no secrets with the car and the absolute best is to see it for yourself or have a neutral representative evaluate the condition of the car for you.

 Some people would say you got to be kidding that you would even bother with these comments, the car’s just about 15 years old !, but I in the past have looked at cars for how perfect they could be and then deciding my level of acceptance.  To the best of my ability I will describe the car for what it is or what it is not.  The buyer is the final judge on whether it meets their expectations.

Nice part about the car is that is spacious, great to travel,  lots of Interior Room, big Trunk but is a notch down in size from the Buick LeSabre.  I would call it a larger Intermediate Size Car.

There’s the $2000 down for a lease and $200 a month for 2 years minimum – all Totals $6800 and you have nothing left after 2 years.  You could drive this for 2 years, 3 , 4, 5 and re-coup a fair market value back with normal care on the car all with reasonable expectation that it should remain trouble free for many, many miles.

SERIOUS INQUIRIES ONLY - PAYMENT includes the standard $300 (non-refundable) to Paypal within 48 hours of auction close.  Remaining balance due in Cash or a completed/verifiable transaction with Certified check before Car &Title exchange to buyer.

After payment conditions have been met, I would discuss ( no commitment/obligation) the idea of splitting the distance of car pick-up with buyer to a maximum of 300 miles ( 150 miles each person).  I am reserving the right to make final decision on any possibility at my convenience  and discretion, so assume in your bidding, all the arrangements/payments are your full responsibility.
