Vehicle Detail
Listed is a 1985 Buick Century Estate Wagon. This car was my grandmother's which she drove from 1985 until she passed away in 2007. She barely drove it and when I inherited the car it had only 22,000 miles on it. She had received the car as a gift for judging the 1986 figure skating championships in Colorado Springs, Colorado where she lived and drove the car. I drove the car back from Colorado in 2007 and it has been in Connecticut since then. It has driven very well over the past 4 years and a chunk of the mileage comes from when I drove the car cross country to California and back last summer. We have had the car worked on since 2007 with a new battery put in the car along with a new Alternator. The problem is I think they didn't do a great job of wiring the alternator. The car won't start now and we have been told it is the alternator. Considering we had a new one put in last year there must be something wrong with the wiring. This is the only real issue with the car. We don't have the time or will to go get the car looked at again so we are just going to sell. I did drive the car to Vermont and back a month ago which is a five hour drive each way. It then sat in our driveway in cold weather for about a week and now it won't start. I tried jumping it but the car will just make a clicking sound when I turn the key. I have attached some videos and photos. If you want to see more just let me know. I will list some other small minor issues with the car... The windshield wiper fluid doesn't flow to the wipers, it stopped working randomly one summer.The radio antenna does not move up and down automatically but it will manually.There is a small chip out of the front bumper on the right.The hub caps are off on three of the wheels, I am only missing 1 hubcap the other two can be put on. These videos should help with questions, some videos repeat but i figure more videos the better... I am not a car mechanic by any means so I don't know all that much about cars or how to fix them.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a2B38fCQLR8http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X7VLJ1zdXUAhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZZKW4XIu_k8 So any questions please don't hesitate to ask... I think i have listed everything about the car... let me know if you want to hear more. The car has four snow tires on it right now and will also come with its four summer tires. Buyer deals with pickup or shipping, money order or cash in hand.
