Review
This car has spent most it's life indoors & looks almost new in & out. I can't believe people paid three times for their's what I paid for mine with less than half the miles on mine. It's a one owner car I got from a guy I worked with that would of had to sell it to a dealer if not me because he was moving. I really like it to me it's like a new car except I can sell this one for more than I paided for it. I won't sell as it will go another 10 years & I work less than a mile from home so gas won't be such an issue even when it does hit $200.00 a barrel. I changed the oil & after about 900 miles it went through half a quart as I check it often. It tells you every time you start it try 10/40
Favorite Features
The ride is by fare the best feature, the A/C is very cold, the moon roof is real nice as it is quit long & wide. I love the fact that my knee isn't pressed up against somthing as it is very roomy. Oh my God the trunk is great! The dash made a noise but I wedged a sunglass case in there & it stopped.
Suggested Improvements
Nothing except maybe the dashboard has two pieces where they should have made it one.
Great deal!

1996 Buick Park Avenue 4 Dr Ultra Sprchgd Sedan
Review
Purchased my 96 Park Avenue Ultra since I am a fan of classic muscle and this thing is great! My friends all laugh but this is one great car- tons of power & very comfortable driving! I have yet to take her on a long road trip but am getting just over 20mpg in town. Awesome, comfortable interior that cannot be beat by the imports, huge trunk- we will see Friday if it fits 4 sets of golf clubs but I think so - I just sold my 2007 Honda Pilot (awesome car but 15 MPG) so that this can be my daily driver. I even tinted the windows real dark so people cannot see me!
Favorite Features
Interior comfort, power, grandpa styling
Suggested Improvements
Side mirrors are tiny
Want another just like it

I told my husband that I would not get rid of this car till he put one in the driveway just like it. This was the most reliable, comfortable car I have ever owned. There was flaking of the paint after 11 years. We replaced the transmission at 120,000 miles. If I had not received a Yukon as a gift from my brother, I would be driving this car today.
Favorite Features
Luxury, comfort, reliability.
Suggested Improvements
The front skirt of this car could be secured better.
What a steal

Nobody wants these I guess. I paid $4400 OTD from a dealer for my unmolested '96 with 104K. Looked new inside and out pretty much. Now with almost 113K 11months later, the car has been trouble free. It's no sports car but it is smooth, quiet, and extremely comfortable to drive. Like a sofa with a steering wheel. Great seats, good power, good gas mileage, and soaks up bumps like they're nothing. Brakes aren't the best but oh well. This car is such a relaxing experience. I'll probably get another one when this one dies....if it ever does. People make fun of it and call it a "grandfather car". I could care less. It rides better than 90% of the cars on the road that cost quadruple.
Favorite Features
Comfortable ride, seats, smooth engine.
Suggested Improvements
Better brakes....that's about it.
Like driving a Lazy-boy chair

OK, first off if you're looking for stylish sporty car, cross this one off your list. That's not its audience or intention. I was looking for a cheap car to drive primarily on the weekends when I drive to my g/fs house and take my dog with me and for trips to the grocery store, errands..etc. Otherwise I'm riding one of my 2 motorcycles. As far as value for the dollar this car is hard to beat. I paid $4400 including tax for mine with 104K on it and you could tell an old guy owned it before because it barely looked like it was worn down at all. Decent mpg (low 20s), insanely comfortable seats and ride, smooth powerful engine, power features galore, been very reliable, all for peanuts.
Favorite Features
Smooth ride and incredible comfort. Decent gas mileage. Power everything. You can get these cheap!
Suggested Improvements
Nothing really. It's big but you know that going in.
