This Park Avenue was bought by my parents from a local GM dealership in 2002 for over $17,000, with a mileage of 33,212. Mom drove it for a few years, then they bought her something new. Then Dad drove it until he wisely stopped driving due to health problems, and he passed away in Fall of 2012. It has been parked in Mom's covered carport since, but has been driven occasionally or borrowed (by us) when one of our cars was in the shop. Since they rode with us on long trips, this car pretty much had light, gentle use. Dad loved this car and all its bells and whistles. We live where it is very balmy (South Georgia), so there is no salt damage, but there is a new A/C compressor and it has been recently charged, so the air works well. (We roast here without a/c!) It runs well, and all power equipment seems to be working fine. It has a new battery as well. The interior is very clean, but when I was cleaning the back of the driver's seat, a little of the cleaner (not bleach) dripped onto the carpet below and discolored it. I included a photo of it, but the mat can be turned around and that area not seen at all. Just trying to be honest. The leather seats are still in great condition, and the interior is very clean. My parents never smoked in it, or had others that smoked in it. The back of the car does stick out a little from the carport, so the rear bumper has some peeling and fading. Other than that, much of the car has had a good quality, more recent paint job. The color is so dark that it is hard to get photos to show minor things, but I will gladly send more photos to serious buyers. The tires are in very good condition, and should have many more miles on them. The car itself should have many more miles to go! Kelley Blue Book value is about $4600.

The color is so dark that it is hard to get photos to show minor things, but I will gladly send more photos to serious buyers. The tires are in very good condition, and should have many more miles on them. The car has been in one accident of any significance. That was when Mom was in it, stopped and about to turn right out of a gas/convenience store lot. A truck driver had been stopped to run into the store, but he didn't find what he was looking for, jumped in his truck, and was going to turn right at the same place Mom was waiting for a chance to turn. He claimed he didn't see the car, and he essentially shaved the outer panels off the drivers' corner of the car. Of course, the outer panels, the hood, the grille, the left light, the door (maybe both doors) on that side were damaged. Although Mom honked the horn for all she was worth, the truck driver kept on going, took the nearby entrance to the bypass, and stopped at another convenience store near the edge of town, where he was apprehended. Mom was fine, but was told she would have been killed if her door had been open. A little boy witnessed the incident, and his mom brought him over to see that Mom was fine because he was so shaken up. This car is solid, and we are so thankful it protected her well. The shop that did the bodywork on it charges reasonable prices, and over $6,000 was spent in repairs, but they told us the frame was NOT compromised. It was a severe accident in that it could have resulted in injury, and it was over $6,000 to repair the right way. The trucking company did pay (and hopefully, they fired the driver). The owner of the shop that did the repairs is also posting a sale flyer for the car, and he said it was well worth the asking price of $3800. He said "It's a good car", and is offering it to others who have expensive repairs who might want to just buy this one. This is why the paint, the grille, and trim look "younger" than you would expect for a 1999. This car needs to be driven and enjoyed a lot more than it has lately. The Kelley Blue Book value is about $4600. On Jul-21-14 at 21:59:23 PDT, seller added the following information: A few pictures, including views of the tires and of flaws have been posted. It was sprinkling, so there are specks of water on the car in photos, but used opportunity to make sure the wipers work, which they do. Worst interior problem is that Buick should have used a little more material to wrap around some plastic trim on the "door" sides of the front seats. I'm sure this must have happened with all of them, but there is probably a simple way to improve the look. Seatbelt hid it from my notice first time. Drove it a mile or two today, and engine is quiet but has strong acceleration. Stereo was probably hardly used, so I tried the radio, CD, and Cassette, and all work fine. Driver's seat has lumbar adjustment along with standard ones. Seat belts are in very good condition, but could use a little upholstery shampoo. Tires have good tread, and seem to be wearing evenly. Is this car perfect? No, but for its age, it is in amazing condition! |

2018 Buick Enclave spied looking slim in Death Valley
Thu, Sep 8 2016The nine-year-old Buick Enclave is well past its prime, but this set of spy photos reveals that GM won't put the vehicle out of its misery, but will give the vehicle a large update instead. Our photographers managed to catch Buick testing a heavily-camouflaged 2018 Enclave testing below sea level near Death Valley. Buick was testing the prototype in Nevada earlier this year, but slapped a trailer onto the back of the SUV. Thanks to the camouflage that covers the badging, headlights, taillights, and hood, there's no way to confirm if the prototype is really a Buick or something from Chevrolet. But the circular outline on the grille has us leaning towards it being a Buick. Five LED running lights shine through the heavy camouflage, while Buick's iconic waterfall grille is prominently uncovered. The Enclave, which came out in 2008, shares the same platform as the GMC Acadia and Chevrolet Traverse. With the new Acadia slimming down and ditching the old Lambda platform in favor of the Chi platform, the Enclave will surely follow suit. The Enclave, though, is expected to get a stretched version of the Chi platform with three rows. While the entire body is concealed, the prototype's side profile looks to be slimmer than the current Enclave. With the addition of the new, lighter platform, the Enclave is expected to get GM's new 3.6-liter V6 with a nine-speed automatic transmission added later down the road. The new Enclave is expected to make its debut early next year as a 2018 model, which will be followed by the reveal of the Traverse shortly after.

Buick picks top 11 highlights from first 11 decades
Sun, 21 Apr 2013Buick has taken the time to highlight some of the company's personal points of pride from the past 110 years. Those include everything from the automaker's very first vehicle, the 1904 Model B, to what Buick claims is the world's first concept car: The 1938 Y Job (above). That one also walked away with the worst name for a design study.
All told, the automaker has sold 43 million vehicles through the end of last year, and those include the lusty 1963 Riviera. That model celebrates its 50th anniversary in 2013, and remains one of the brand's most iconic designs.
Of course, Buick is rightfully proud of its quickest model, too. The 1987 GNX managed a 4.6-second bolt to 60 mph in tests by Car and Driver, and it also took the honor of being one of the automaker's rarest creations at just 547 units. You can check out all 10 in the gallery above.
GM announces six new recalls, covering 3.5 million vehicles
Mon, 16 Jun 2014General Motors has just initiated another crushingly large recall, this time affecting some 3.36 million vehicles built between 2000 and 2014 and sold in the US, Canada and Mexico. Once again, the issue surrounds the cars' ignition switches, which can be kicked out of the run position if they're carrying extra weight or if they experience a "jarring" event. In this particular case, though, GM will modify the keys, rather than the ignition itself.
A four-by-six-millimeter hole will be drilled into the key, which will more safely accommodate the weight of the key ring. As is usually the case, the work will be done free of charge. The recalled vehicles include the 2000 to 2005 Cadillac Deville, 2004 to 2005 Buick Regal LS and GS, 2004 to 2011 Cadillac DTS, 2005 to 2009 Buick Lacrosse, 2006 to 2008 Chevrolet Monte Carlo, 2006 to 2011 Buick Lucerne and 2006 to 2014 Chevrolet Impala. Only the Impala is still in production, and even then, it's only sold to fleet companies.
According to an official statement from GM, there have been eight crashes and six injuries due to this latest issue. As if this isn't a dire enough blow for GM, the company has announced five smaller recalls, covering 165,000 vehicles.
