bramz7 Posted January 2, 2019 Author Share Posted January 2, 2019 Yeah, it's a bit crunchy down there, but that seem's to be it.....which is quite odd. Odd how the metal (I assume) underneath is fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schaefft Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Oh no, this is too soon for me! I just asked a guy in the Netherlands about those two trim pieces. I haven't been on Autoshite for a few days and thought "Wouldnt it be funny if this was for sale already?" Seconds later I read the title of this thread. loserone, Ohdearme, Carlosfandango and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zelandeth Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Buicks from this era are wonderful comfy things to waft around in if that's the way you like to drive. If I had space I'd definitely be considering this... looks to be a bargain at that price to me... LightBulbFun 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Bo11ox Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Even I found myself googling 'GM Power brake diagnostics' earlier on.... Eventually I had to punch myself in the face as a reality check. I'd love to do a few journeys in this though! Carlosfandango, Six-cylinder, Skizzer and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junkman Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 I know I'm going to regret this, but I'd buy it if the deal could be delayed until the weekend 26/27. I'm a stupid man. What can I do?

bramz7 Posted January 3, 2019 Author Share Posted January 3, 2019 In light of me getting dibs on storage....I think I'm going to hold onto it for now and save some money to get it sorted out. Any interested parties are free to PM me for when I undoubtedly change my mind. bangernomics, wuvvum, Sigmund Fraud and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wingz123 Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Why are you doing this to yourself man... I need to clear out - its not healthy for me - 1 car maybe 2 tops. Currently got 7 or 8 from memory....dont want to count it depresses me and that shouldnt be the way it is. Is that Matrix still parked outside yours? I reckon the guy has forgotten where you live?

bramz7 Posted January 7, 2019 Author Share Posted January 7, 2019 Well...I suspect 30 on a run but around town probably sub 20, but not by much. The incredibly vague fuel gauge does not help me estimate at all. The tank is 'only' 65 litres. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lesapandre Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 www.carsurvey.org is useful for reviews of US models. Owners reaction to these was very favourable. http://www.carsurvey.org/reviews/buick/park_avenue/1991/page-6/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bramz7 Posted January 7, 2019 Author Share Posted January 7, 2019 It is a bit of an ignored car within American car circles due to the persistent OAP image (seemingly an American Rover R8), but it's roomy, well equipped, has great visibility (never been so comfortable reversing through a forecourt as I have in it) and it's pleasant to drive. Probably should remove the for sale tag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
23rdian Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 I really like these. Good reviews of them on YouTube. Bit like an american Jag, Would drive 8/10 eddyramrod 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bramz7 Posted January 10, 2019 Author Share Posted January 10, 2019 Okay.... Due to me buying (well agreeing to buy) something back I used to own and actually prefer to drive, this big beast is up for grabs again. £700 OVNO again, will be cleaned for the new owner. Apologies to everyone who thought I had become sane but it's plainly obvious I'll never make my mind up. It's either keep this and the other one and never get round to making them both nice, or sell this and make the other one nice. Again, happy to take deposit for later collection. gadgetgricey, loserone and SierraMikeHotel 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
