BODY
As you can see in the pictures the condition of this vehicle is needing some TLC on the body. This car needs body work but is overall a very solid vehicle. It is missing or has cracked plastic body fillers all the way around the car. The 1/3rd leather top needs replacing. Some paint chipping, dent on roof. but as you can see in the picture the paint still shines. Headlights fuse box needs replacement because headlights do not turn on. car is fully functional other then the head lights. New transmission, two new front tires, i have all hubcaps still. new tail pipes seperated to dual exhaust but not tru dual just a splited muffler, may have exhaust leak, gas tank in great shape no soft spots. clear title. chrome pitting and has some rust, as well as front bumper offset a bit. overall solid drivable vehicle. Starts every single time first turn. motor in great shape, a very easy carburated car to work on. Air ride adjustable with air compressor.
Interior
As you can see in the pictures the interior is in pretty good shape for the years. Seam teers on leather and driver seat completly worn out the leather, pictures due the justice. the rear seat is in excellent condition as well as the carpets are in great shape for the year. it was an everyday car and for that i rate the interior overall pretty good for a car over 25years old that was a daily driver. all power every thing , with premium speakers and alpine stereo aftermarket, all sound works great. The headlight system needs some work maybe a fuse? i dont know but i cant get them on.
History
The reason this car leather top and driver side so rough is it was next to a garage that had a garage fire. which caused the damage, of the paint and roof, this car was not in the fire but close enough for the high heat to reach it. i have owned it now for almost ten years, so i know alot about the vehicles running condition so feel free to ask any questions. Like i said it was a daily driver. does have a viper alarm systen installed. Little rust solid car check engine light on.
Milage
I dont know exact milage. it has rolled over and at one point stopped counting until i got it fixed.
Shipping
I will not provide shipping for this car, that is all on the buyer, local pickup only, no warranties and being sold as is with no returns.
Please note this car is over 25years old and in need of TLC but is a solid vehicle being sold as is.

Don't buy that crossover! Buy a cladded wagon instead!
Fri, Nov 10 2017If you're looking to buy a car soon, and you're like most Americans, there's a strong chance you're considering buying a crossover SUV. That's what people want nowadays. People like the tough, tall exterior that suggests adventure and preparedness, they like the high seating position, they like the all wheel drive many have and they like the practicality. Because of this, crossovers have rapidly supplanted typical cars such as sedans, wagons, and more as the most popular vehicles in the country. But they're compromised, too. They're often heavy, thirsty, and expensive compared with more conventional cars. The good news is, there's an alternative, a happy medium between the straight crossover and the traditional car. They're lifted wagons, and they're the best crossover SUVs around. And for those who may not know what we're talking about, we're talking about cars and wagons that have been given a suspension lift for more ground clearance and a higher ride height, and often have all wheel drive standard or optional. They also usually have chunky plastic body cladding to make them look tough and durable. Examples include the Subaru Crosstrek, Audi A4 Allroad, Buick Regal TourX, and Volkswagen Golf Alltrack, among others. Because of the suspension and body modifications, these vehicles fit the trendy crossover mold quite well. And in the case of long-running nameplates such as the Subaru Outback and Volvo Cross Country models, they even have some heritage as outdoorsy machines. They also provide the higher driving position that crossover buyers love. And in some cases, such as with the Golf Alltrack, we've learned they offer better ride quality than their road-oriented siblings. View 9 Photos So these tall wagons offer the key things crossover buyers want, but what makes them better than traditional crossovers is that they have the advantages of the cars they're based on. For instance, the aforementioned Golf Alltrack still drives mostly like a Golf, which is to say, it's nimble, feels peppy, and is easy to maneuver because of its relatively small size. We can't really say the same for the Tiguan, which feels generally more sluggish and uninteresting than the Alltrack. And we mention Volkswagen's compact crossover because it starts at nearly the same price as the Alltrack. Some of the difference in giddy-up can be explained by weight. Normal crossovers can be fairly portly, while these lifted wagons are notably lighter.
Junkyard Gem: 1992 Buick Century Woodie station wagon
Mon, Oct 9 2017The Detroit station wagon with fake-wood exterior paneling had a good long postwar run, but minivans and — increasingly — sport utility vehicles were giving such wagons quite a beating in the showrooms by 1992. Buick was down to just two woodies by 1992; here's a discarded example of the front-wheel-drive Century, spotted in a Northern California self-service yard. Buick sold big rear-wheel-drive Roadmaster wagons with Simu-Wood™ siding through the 1996 model year, but the smaller Century was fairly plush. American car shoppers didn't insist on real-looking "wood" on their wagons, although Chrysler went much more three-dimensional with their plastic wood that did GM during this era. This one has the 3.3-liter Buick V6 engine, rated at 160 horsepower. This is not to be confused with the unrelated GM 60° V6, which was available in earlier and later Centuries. If only these seats could talk, they'd tell many tales of sibling battles and spilled fast food. Related Video:
Buick shows off new Ultra Luxury Interior for LaCrosse
Sun, 27 Apr 2014The options sheet of the 2014 Buick LaCrosse gets all kinds of fancy with the addition of the Ultra Luxury Interior. Pointing its Tri-Shield logo at the world of haute luxury, the cabin treatment combines sangria leather with ebony accents, shadow tamo ash wood trim and a microsuede headliner to "drive fashion forward."
You'll need to start with LaCrosse models with the 3.6-liter V6 and either the Leather, Premium or Premium II trims to go all Brioni and Buckingham on the cabin, and the privilege package will run you $2,495. We're told that you won't find such contrasting hues anywhere else in the class, though, and that kind of exclusivity might make any price a bargain.
You can find more information on the Ultra Luxury Interior in the press release below, along with some intensely fashion-foward gobbledygook.
