1985 Buick Century Limited TIME CAPSULE! This one owner, garage kept vehicle has only 23,800 original miles! It is here on consignment by a family whose mother bought it brand new in Fort Worth, TX in June 1985. The car looks like it came out of a 1985 Buick showroom. It even has the original 1985 Buick brochure showing all the colors, the options, etc. It is the Dark Red Metallic exterior color with the matching Dark Red Metallic velour interior. It was originally a car provided to the golfers at the 1985 Colonial Invitational Tournament in Fort Worth, TX and was sold as a “demo” by Tyson Buick with 662 miles to its owner. It was driven very infrequently over the past 28 years, spending most of its time in the garage, not exposed to the outdoors in any way. The car has power windows, power door locks, tilt wheel, cruise control and power mirrors. It has the optional power seat, the optional wire wheels, the optional digital dash and the optional power antenna. The car starts and runs great. The transmission shifts smoothly. The A/C blows ice cold (we converted it to R 134). It is a non-smoker’s vehicle. The interior fabric is absolutely perfect with no rips, tears, sags or anything. The headliner is perfect. The dash and vinyl are perfect. The whitewall tires have about 60 percent tread remaining. The wire wheels are perfect and the car has the factory wire wheel “key”, still in the plastic pouch. The owner kept meticulous fuel and maintenance records in a small red notebook in the glove box. I have shown photos from a couple of the pages on the website www.briansplaceonline.com. I have every receipt from Bruner Motors in Stephenville, TX showing all the work performed in the past 28 years. I have summarized the maintenance below. Maintenance history: · 1,456 miles Oil and filter change · 3,475 miles Oil and filter change · 6,958 miles Oil and filter change · 7,196 miles New wiper blades, cooling system flushed · 9,555 miles New battery (06/90) · 10,444 miles Exhaust repair · 11,981 miles Front end alignment · 12,052 miles New battery (08/92) · 23,365 miles New battery (12/04) · 23,371 miles Fresh fuel added (06/05) · 23,473 miles New battery, brake flush, coolant flush (12/06) · 23,549 miles New battery (06/12) · 23,581 miles Fuel pump, relay, filter and strainer replaced (06/12) · 23,641 miles Reconnect vacuum hose to MAP sensor (02/13) · 23,740 miles Oil change, replace power antenna, Convert A/C to R134 (10/13) Cosmetic Issues (all shown in photos on our website): · Scratches on trunk lid, rear fenders that appear to be cat claw marks. · Small chip in paint on passenger side front fender · Small chip in paint on passenger front door · One small chip on the front fender near the headlight assembly with a small bit of corrosion on the scrape. · Small ding in passenger rear fender (no paint break) · Original dealer sticker on drivers side on trunk lid has some small cracks · Original Walt Disney bumper sticker has peeled apart · Original “Heartbeat of America” Chevrolet bumper sticker has some cracking · Paint needs to be waxed, appears to have original finish · Trunk mat has some padding on the underside that has come apart and is flaking Mechanical Issues: · Windshield washer motor is INOP · Power seat motor for driver’s seat runs, but does not change seat positions. My mechanic says it is the power seat motor “transmission” that needs to be replaced. · Motor idles a bit rough, but runs smoothly on highway. Added about 7 gallons of fresh fuel and added fuel additive. Starts right up, runs great. You will not find another 1985 Buick with these miles or in this condition anywhere, except maybe a Buick museum somewhere. It is the real deal, all mileage documented with both the owner’s records and dealer records. The title is a clear Texas title. The car has current Texas inspection. I will be selling this as a motor vehicle dealer, so I will be collecting tax, title and license fees on the sale. We will provide a temporary tag as part of the TT&L process so you can drive it until your plates arrive. If you are an out of state buyer, we will collect a small VIT (vehicle inventory tax) that is $ .1486 per $100 and the $5.00 temporary tag fee. Delivery is available right to your driveway. We can deliver it for $2.50 per loaded mile or you can contract with a carrier of your own choosing. There are many photos of the car on our website www.briansplaceonline.com. Please call (254.646.2170) or email with questions. The car is for sale locally at our dealership. This listing will be removed when it is no longer available for sale.
