2003 Buick Park Ave. Great for the mechanically inclined, or as a parts car! I bought it used in May 2017.
120,673 m on 2nd engine. Old one died about 100K, this one was 108,200 when installed in 2023.
The good stuff.
2018 – intake manifold/tensioner
2020 – front tie rods, mass air flow sensor
2021 – idle control valve
2022 -R shock mounts, front struts
2023 – replace engine (see above) w/water pump, plugs, belt, also brake lines. Rear brakes
2024 – 4 tires (very little mileage – no commuting retired, no traveling disabled
2025 – new battery, front rotors, pads
2026 – full exhaust pipe/muffler
Body very solid, interior nice, non-smoker, AM/FM cassette, CD. Heat OK. Title.
So, what’s wrong?
Well, transmission is dying. Still works if used properly. Fuel leak. Dead AC. Driver seat partially broken (power motor). Due to fuel leak WILL NOT PASS INSPECTION.
