THE PHOTOS SHOW THE 1998 BUICK PARK AVENUE ULTRA YOU ARE WINNING. I PLAN TO ALLOW YOU TO PICK THIS UP AT MY HOME AT RAPID RIVER, MICHIGAN ZIP CODE 49878 FOR FREE OR I CAN DELIVER IT TO YOU ON MY TOW DOLLY FOR A FEE. SEND ME YOUR ZIPCODE IF YOU WANT A DELIVERED PRICE QUOTE BY ME OR GO ONLINE FOR A DELIVERY SERVICE IF YOU PREFER. I AM SELLING THIS PARK AVENUE BECAUSE I CURRENTLY OWN FOUR BUICK PARK AVENUES AND WITH ONLY TWO DRIVERS IN OUR HOME WE NEED TO SELL THIS ONE. AS YOU WILL SEE BY VIEWING THE PHOTOS THIS IS IN VERY CLEAN SECOND OWNER AUTOMOBILE (CARFAX SHOWS THREE OWNERS BECAUSE THERE WAS A DEALER BETWEEN THE TWO DRIVER OWNERS), WE HAVE OWNED THIS CAR SINCE BEFORE 51,000 MILES. THERE HAVE BEEN NO ACCIDENTS OR MAJOR REPAIRS WHILE I HAVE OWNED THIS CAR NOR IN THE CARFAX HISTORY. THE TURBO CHARGER MAKES THIS PERFORM VERY WELL WHEN POWER IS NEEDED FOR PASSING OR GETTING OUT OF THE WAY FOR EMERGENCY VEHICLES. AS I UNDERSTAND IS COMMON WITH THESE THERE IS A SMALL "RATTLE" ONLY WHEN IDLING IN THE TURBO CHARGER. THE PHOTOS SHOW THAT THE PAINT IS 99% WITH ONLY A FEW "CHIPS/FLAKES" MISSING THAT TOUCH UP PAINT COULD EASILY REPAIR BUT I DIDN'T WANT TO DO THIS AS IT MIGHT BE REASONED WAS A COVERUP BY ME. THERE ARE A FEW "PARKING LOT" MINOR DINGS AND A FEW SCRATCHES (SOME WITH RED OR BLACK PAINT IN THEM) BUT NO MAJOR DENTS OR REPAIR ISSUES THAT I AM AWARE OF. THIS CAR WAS ORDERED WITH ONSTAR AND THE PHOTOS SHOW THE ANTENA ON THE REAR WINDOW. THE REST OF THE SYSTEM (PHONE SET AND BRACKETS) ARE IN THE TRUNK. WE HAVE NOT SUBSCRIBED TO THIS SERVICE BUT I ASSUME IT WILL STILL WORK IF YOU WANT TO SIGN UP WITH THEM. I VACCUM CLEANED THE INTERIOR BUT DID NOT SHAMPOO OR SUPER CLEAN IT. THE PHOTO OF THE DASH SHOWS A SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT ON THAT GOES AWAY SOMETIMES BY ITSELF AND CAN BE RESET AT THE DEALERS. WHEN THIS WARNING ORIGINALLY CAME ON I REPLACED TWO SENSORS THAT THE DIAGNOSTICS CALLED FOR AND THE LIGHT WENT AWAY FOR A FEW MONTHS THEN CAME BACK ON INDICATING THE SAME SENSORS, WE RESET THE COMPUTER AND THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT WENT OUT FOR A FEW WEEKS. AFTER THIS THE LIGHT PERIODICALLY COMES ON AND GOES OFF, COMES ON AND GOES OUT?????? I KNOW THIS CAR RUNS WELL WITH THIS DISPLAY ON OR OFF SO I DECIDED IT WAS A FAULTY WARNING AND HAVE IGNORED IT SINCE???? YOU MAY NOTICE A SMALL HOLE DRILLED INTO THE CLEAR LENSE COVER ON THE DASH BY THE FUEL GAUGE WHICH I USE TO RESET THE FUEL GUAGE DIAL SOMETIMES WHEN THE BATTERY HAS BEEN CHANGED/DISCONNECTED. THIS IS ANOTHER KNOWN PROBLEM WITH BUICK PARK AVENUES RESOLVED IN A UNIQUE WAY (THE ALTERNATIVE IS TO REMOVE THE DASHBOARD TO RESET THIS. THERE IS A SMALL HOLE (3/8 TO 1/2 INCH) IN THE REAR BUMPER COVER NEAR THE TRAILER HITCH WHERE ONE OF MY TRAILERS CRANK STUCK OUT TOO FAR WHEN I BACKED UP TO HOOK IT UP AND PUNCHED THROUGH IT (NO - IT IS NOT A BULLET HOLE). THE BATTERY WAS RECENTLY REPLACED WITH A 11/09 DATE ON IT AS I RECALL. BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS WERE ALL REPLACED RECENTLY ALSO. I BELIEVE THIS CAR WILL LAST MANY MORE MILES AND YEARS WITH REASONABLE CARE AND MAINTENANCE (THEY HAVE A REPUTATION FOR OVER 260,000 MILES USEAGE) SO THIS ONE SHOULD BE GOOD FOR 100,000 MORE MILES. FEEL FREE TO EMAIL ME WITH ANY QUESTIONS OR CALL BUD AT 906-446-3825 BETWEEN 9AM AND 5PM DAILY. THANKS FOR LOOKING AND GOOD LUCK BIDDING!
