The Buick has been carefully maintained over the years, so it has plenty of good miles left if treated with TLC. Despite it’s 161,000 miles (lots of highway miles), it only requires about one quart of oil between oil changes (about every 6,000 miles). If someone checks the oil and water periodically, that should ensure relatively trouble free performance. It blows very cold air and only requires an occasional can of Freon to maintain AC performance (maybe one in 1-1/2 years?). It’s important to keep the system full of Freon, so replenish when AC performance diminishes. Michelin tires are in good shape and should be good for many more miles. Has an AM/FM radio with CD and cassette players. Engine analyzer (code reader) comes with the car (it won’t work on my newer cars). Everything works! The following is a chronological listing of maintenance actions from the near present thru past actions: 12-02-16 160,644 miles New starter (AutoZone, 12 mos warranty) 12-01-16 160644 miles New battery (Wal Mart, 5 yr warranty) 11-29-16 160642 miles Oil change & filter (Wal Mart) 09-09-16 156,470 miles Tire rotation & oil change (NTB) 08-06-16 154,379 miles New serpentine belt and tensioner 07-17-16 153,481 miles Recharged AC w/one can 134 freon 06-30-16 152,000 miles New front brake pads 06-21-16 150,133 miles Transmission fluid/filter change (chg, not flush!) 05-30-16 149,742 miles Tire rotation (NTB) & oil change (Wal Mart) 05-23-16 149,497 miles New water pump 02-22-16 145,032 miles New spark plugs and wires 01-26-16 142,977 miles Tire rotation (NTB) & oil change (Wal Mart) 01-23-16 142.900 miles New gas cap 12-01-15 139,889 miles New windshield wiper blades 07-29-15 142,493 miles Tire rotation (NTB) & oil change (Wal Mart) 04-17-15 125,223 miles Tire rotation (NTB) & oil change (Wal Mart) Note: Rest of oil changes will be omitted, but you can see the 6,000 mile trend.
