Vehicle Detail

I have a very good condition 1995 Buick Regal Custom with the series I 3800 engine. It has just over 125,661 original miles on it but has engine problems. I have the Carfax report for when I bought it (Jan. of this year). The car runs (barely) and I honestly don't know how far you'd be able to drive it so towing it would probably be ideal. The engine seems to have a serious mechanical issue(s). It runs like it's only using four cylinders. The 'low coolant level' warning has been off/on this past week, but coolant isn't low by physically checking it. I bought this car as temporary transportation while I fixed my truck but now it has to go. Truck is now gone and I I now have another car to drive. I'm selling this car 'AS-IS'. It did pass emissions 'with flying colors' when I registered it in Duluth. The interior of this car is in really, really good condition. The rear carpet below the window and top of rear seats have sun fading, but the rest of the seats and carpet are in EXCELLENT condition for the age of the car. Captain's chair on driver's side works perfectly. (motorized adjustments) I recently checked the compression on all cylinders and they were consistently around 180 psi. I've put standard Delco plugs, and wires ($50). I replaced one coil pack a few weeks ago as it was putting out an erratic spark. This made it run better, but over the last two weeks, it's gotten much worse and I don't have the time or energy to mess with the car. The motor is the legendary Series I with aluminum heads. From what I've read, this engine had far fewer problems than the series II (96 and up..), but in my case this doesn't matter since it'll have to have work done to it, or replaced. I'm not a mechanic and don't know the extent to what will have to be done to get it back to where it should be. I did take it to a mechanic and he was wanting to charge me to change the upper and lower intake gaskets again thinking the previous job wasn't done right. I'm very skeptical however that this would fix the problem. The previous owner did replace the lower and upper intake manifold gaskets, and water pump. Alternator was replaced several years ago with a factory Delco one. I have two keyless entry remotes and everything else works.. even the A/C! This is a Florida/Georgia car so rust isn't a factor. There's some sun fading of the exterior trim pieces around the windows, but nothing that can't be touched up with black trim paint. It appears to be a garage kept car. The front end has some damage as seen in the pics, but nothing more than scrapes. The bumper has a puncture in the middle. When I bought this car, it was running really well and quiet. I was actually thinking about keeping it since was such a nice riding car, but now this. The transmission shifts as it should and is good as far as I know. There's a squeak in the front end when going over bumbs. I'm not sure if it's a strut or engine mount? All power windows, locks, radio, steering wheel controls, cruise, climate control work as they should. The hood struts work just fine and have no problem holding it up. I have all the receipts that were done to the car over the years as it was maintained well by an older woman from what I was told. The car appears to be garage kept as the paint is in very good condition. The driver's door is a bit wavy (see pics.) Fuel filter is brand new Tires are decent. No hubcaps Center console was an added option from the factory. Dura-ride suspension I can email more pictures upon your request. . . just let me know. Thank for looking and only serious inquires only please. I check email regularly and can answer any questions you may have. Bri THIS IS A NO RESERVE AUCTION!!!! (AFTER $50 THAT IS)
