Up for bid is a 1996 Buick Roadmaster Limited Estate Wagon with just 79k two owner miles. Collector's Edition just like every other '96 Roadmaster built. Lifelong Arizona car - zero rust anywhere. Loaded up with power everything and every option works. Boasting GM's Corvette inspired multiport injected 5.7L LT1 V8 engine and 4L60E 4 speed automatic transmission, she puts down plenty of power and the 2.93 limited slip rear end (GW9 and G80 build codes) maximize traction to the pavement. Trailer preparation "tow package" equipped - car rated to pull 5000 but NEVER had a hitch (despite trailer prep name, these did not come from the factory with hitches.) Delivers consistent 16 in town and 24 highway at 70 mph. Clean history - send me your email address and I'll send you the Carfax report. Runs and drives great - drive anywhere. NO RESERVE. Very rare - there were 201 no-wood white wagons built for 96, of which 71 had the Limited package, of which 32 had tan interior, of which 16 had posi and only two of those featured beige Limited cloth seating and further, only one of those had the space-saver spare - this one. If you like beige Limited cloth, no wood and posi on your white 96 Buick wagon, this is one of only two ever built that way. Questions? Click "ask seller a question" or call Fred at 315-246-0612.

Condition Report ENGINE: Runs on all eight cylinders without smoking, missing or knocking. Engine runs at proper temperature. Newer battery & good charging system. Starts easy and runs strong. TRANSMISSION: Performs beautifully as expected of low miles. Engages gears quickly and shifts through all forward gears and reverse with good downshift and torque converter performance. Clean fluid with no burn odors. Shifts perfectly. EXTERIOR: Body: Body is very straight and totally solid. No rust anywhere. The only complaint is a tiny ding on top of left front fender as seen in pics. Way above average body. Paint: Paint is very nice and shiny. All original paint except right rear quarterpanel which was lightly scuffed backing out of the garage and professionally repainted about 4 years ago. Also above average. Other: Lower stainless bright trim is nice with only a couple minor door dings. Front bumper bright trim is extremely straight with one small ding on the driver's side piece. Rubber side trim is all present. Glass is all perfect - no chips or cracks. Window tint on left rear door is starting to lift at the bottom as seen in pics - all other tint is good. Undercarriage is spotless as is underhood sheet metal. Tailgate sill and door jambs also have no rust. Aluminum wheels are in great shape. Car is from Arizona and shows. INTERIOR: Interior of the car is in nice shape as expected of lower miles. Clearly garage-kept as the interior is not faded or nor is dash cracked. Carpets are nice and clean without major wear, dash has no cracks, door panels are in good shape. Seats are all nice - even the driver's seat - without rips or stains. Headliner is in great shape. Steering wheel is in nice shape. Minor carpet wear on driver's side as is common on these from having to mash the carpet when you set the parking brake. No smoke odors - non-smoker's car. Has all the factory floor mats. Nice interior overall; above average. ELECTRICAL STUFF: All inspection items work (lights, button horn, wipers, etc.) ALL the power stuff works properly including power windows, power locks, dual power seats, hot heat and cold A/C, tilt, cruise, am/fm stereo cassette/CD, power antenna, rear window release, rear wiper, keyless entry, twilight sentinel, intermittent wipers, and rear defroster. Newer A/C compressor and dryer. DRIVEABILITY: Drives out beautifully. Steering is tight, suspension is tight and alignment is good. Brakes work well with good linings. Tires have about 80% tread remaining on a matched set of Michelins. Solid, quiet exhaust with no leaks. Limited slip works properly and rear end is quiet. Check engine light is not lit (except at start up as it should.) No complaints - jump in and drive anywhere - nice driving car.
