A must have item
Ester Van Hooke, 03/15/2007
1990 Buick Electra Park Avenue 4dr Sedan
I bought this car new from the dealer in hopes of driving a beast. It accelerates like a raging bull on steroids. You get to the 60 miles per hour mark in a neck snapping 14.6 seconds. The sumptuous angles spark emotions like fire in the night. The suspension rides like a a magic carpet on a silk laden cloud with wheels of cream. I know this because I took a speed bump at a blistering 75 … mph and I felt nothing but a jibber. Stepping on the accelerator pedal is like playing a game of pinball. Fun, but there are many strange noises. I hit the engine revolution limiter yesterday and it sounded like a grackel crowing at the edge of a willow forest at daybreak. This car is sleek yet powerful.

1990 Buick Electra T Type 4dr Sedan
This car is a great car for the money. The 3800(3.8L) is a great motor and has been known to go over 200k miles. Good power, and mpg. It gets 28mpg hwy. In a big car, that's sweet!

1990 Buick Electra Park Avenue 4dr Sedan
We loved our Park Avenue. Super comfy seats with loads of room for tall people. We drove it for a year until some joker re-ended us and put an end to a lovely relationship! The 3.8L engine was a powerhouse but still got us 28 mpg on the highway. Very reliable car, rock solid and smooth on the road.
