I just picked up a 1999 Buick Park Avenue Ultra. Supercharged, loaded with everything, nice pearl white outside. I'm deciding if I want to keep it or sell it. I would havto get rid of my 1992 Es300 (122,000k miles). Anyone have any experience with this car? the interior is great, I'll give it that from what I know.

 

Nice supercomfortable traditional Detroit boat. Reliability records on Buicks are pretty good I believe. I'd take it over a '92 ES fo sho!

 

It's definitely a good car. Go post about it on www.buickforums.com/forums/ - that place needs all the help it can get.

 

Visit consumerreports.com or get a copy of April 04 issue at the newsstand. The April issue indicates the new Buicks have low number of problems as Acura and Mazda, three-year-old and five-year-old Buicks also have lower number of problems than average model.

 

LOL. Good one. Sal are you a big caddie fan, too? I was poking around on that forum last weekend because I love the old DeVilles and Fleetwoods from the eighties and back. I'd love to pick one up just for fun.

 

Slightly hot-rodded version of a traditional Granny car. The standard Buick Touring Suspension with this car gives a little less float and wallow and better steering response in the turns. Nice, quiet ride...relaxing at the end of a stressful day. Repair and reliability record.... average... per Consumer Reports. Supercharger adds heat to the engine...you many want to consider frequent oil changes or synthetic oil.
Typical GM sloppiness in fit-and-finish. Interior has lots of features but a somewhat cheap look and feel for this class of car...well below Lexus standards, so I disagree with your comment about the great interior. 3.8 V-6 engine old-tech, with pushrods (dates from the 60's), but this makes it easier, simpler, and cheaper to work on.

There you have it...the good and the bad. If you want the Park Avenue's ride with more quality, consider a used LS430.

 

well the interior has poor fit and finish yes but it looks nice and is roomy. I picked it up at an auction for real cheap so thats why I ended up with this particular car.

 

No arguments there...it IS roomy.
