This Park Avenue was bought by my parents from a local GM dealership in 2002 for over $17,000, with a mileage of 33,212.  Mom drove it for a few years, then they bought her something new.  Then Dad drove it until he wisely stopped driving due to health problems, and he passed away in Fall of 2012.  It has been parked in Mom's covered carport since, but has been driven occasionally or borrowed (by us) when one of our cars was in the shop.  Since they rode with us on long trips, this car pretty much had light, gentle use.  Dad loved this car and all its bells and whistles.

We live where it is very balmy (South Georgia), so there is no salt damage, but there is a new A/C compressor and it has been recently charged, so the air works well.  (We roast here without a/c!)  It runs well, and all power equipment seems to be working fine.   It has a new battery as well.

The interior is very clean, but when I was cleaning the back of the driver's seat, a little of the cleaner (not bleach) dripped onto the carpet below and discolored it.  I included a photo of it, but the mat can be turned around and that area not seen at all.  Just trying to be honest.  The leather seats are still in great condition, and the interior is very clean.  My parents never smoked in it, or had others that smoked in it.

The back of the car does stick out a little from the carport, so the rear bumper has some peeling and fading.  Other than that, much of the car has had a good quality, more recent paint job. The color is so dark that it is hard to get photos to show minor things, but I will gladly send more photos to serious buyers. 

The tires are in very good condition, and should have many more miles on them.  The car itself should have many more miles to go!

Kelley Blue Book value is about $4600.

The car has been in one accident of any significance.   That was when Mom was in it, stopped and about to turn right out of a gas/convenience store lot.  A truck driver had been stopped to run into the store, but he didn't find what he was looking for, jumped in his truck, and was going to turn right at the same place Mom was waiting for a chance to turn.  He claimed he didn't see the car, and he essentially shaved the outer panels off the drivers' corner of the car.  Of course, the outer panels, the hood, the grille, the left light, the door (maybe both doors) on that side were damaged.  Although Mom honked the horn for all she was worth, the truck driver kept on going, took the nearby entrance to the bypass, and stopped at another convenience store near the edge of town, where he was apprehended.  Mom was fine, but was told she would have been killed if her door had been open.  A little boy witnessed the incident, and his mom brought him over to see that Mom was fine because he was so shaken up.  This car is solid, and we are so thankful it protected her well.  The shop that did the bodywork on it charges reasonable prices, and over $6,000 was spent in repairs, but they told us the frame was NOT compromised.  It was a severe accident in that it could have resulted in injury, and it was over $6,000 to repair the right way.  The trucking company did pay (and hopefully, they fired the driver).  The owner of the shop that did the repairs is also posting a sale flyer for the car, and he said it was well worth the asking price of $3800.  He said "It's a good car", and is offering it to others who have expensive repairs who might want to just buy this one.  This is why the paint, the grille, and trim look "younger" than you would expect for a 1999.

This car needs to be driven and enjoyed a lot more than it has lately.  The Kelley Blue Book value is about $4600.

A few pictures, including views of the tires and of flaws have been posted.  It was sprinkling, so there are specks of water on the car in photos, but used opportunity to make sure the wipers work, which they do.  Worst interior problem is that Buick should have used a little more material to wrap around some plastic trim on the "door" sides of the front seats.  I'm sure this must have happened with all of them, but there is probably a simple way to improve the look.  Seatbelt hid it from my notice first time.  


Drove it a mile or two today, and engine is quiet but has strong acceleration.  Stereo was probably hardly used, so I tried the radio, CD, and Cassette, and all work fine.  Driver's seat has lumbar adjustment along with standard ones.  Seat belts are in very good condition, but could use a little upholstery shampoo.  Tires have good tread, and seem to be wearing evenly.

Is this car perfect?  No, but for its age, it is in amazing condition!

Jay Leno recaps Pebble Beach

Wed, Sep 30 2015

Each year at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance the picturesque, ocean-side setting of the golf course becomes a parking lot for a vast array of multi-million dollar vehicles. However, if you missed the posh event this year, then Jay Leno has you covered yet again. For a nearly hour-long installment of Jay Leno's Garage, the comedian has dumped his denim in favor of a suit to take viewers on an insider tour of the lavish gathering. He interviewed some of the most talented designers in the auto industry, too. Leno starts off checking out a few beautiful classics by the shore, but things really get interesting for his stroll down the Concept Car Lawn for a scoop on the vehicles of tomorrow. Ed Welburn tells Leno all about the Buick Avenir, and Shiro Nakamura offers a tour of the Infiniti Q60. Plus, there are detailed looks at the Lincoln Continental, Hyundai Vision G Coupe, and Bentley EXP 10 Speed 6.

Best cheap SUVs: You don't have to pay a lot to get a lot

Sat, Oct 28 2023

Here's a news flash: Everything is a lot more expensive now! And that definitely goes for new SUVs, with prices that keep nudging higher and higher. Actually "nudging" might be too soft of a description for their motion. "Skyrocketing" is probably more accurate.  While higher prices and hefty interest rates have likely knocked a lot of people out of the new car market entirely, there are still quite a few cheap SUV choices. Better still, they're not terrible! Far from it, in fact. While the lowest price SUVs used to be drab, sorry affairs best left to the lots of Avis and Budget, that is definitely not the case today. Not only are there legitimately appealing cheap SUV choices, they offer genuine differences in character, capability and design. It's not just a series of anonymous boxes with different badges. Below you won't just find a simple list of the cheapest SUVs available. We are actually pointing out the best ones. They are listed from least expensive to most expensive, with none exceeding a starting price of $30,000. Most are subcompacts, but a few of our top choices in the compact SUV segment snuck on. Finally, please excuse the crummy photo quality. We sought out representative trim levels of the prices in question rather than just reusing pretty carmaker-provided photos of the most expensive trim levels. This is what the cars will actually look like. Kia Soul Why it stands out: Ample space and abundant features for the money; unique style; strong turbo engine upgrade Could be better: All-wheel drive is not available Starting Price: $21,315 Read our most recent Kia Soul Review The Kia Soul definitely didn't start off as a small SUV, and the term "crossover" is probably better applied to it. Still, what started life as an undefinable funky tall hatchback now finds itself in its third generation with numerous vehicles of similar shape and size that are dubbed "small SUV" or "small crossover." If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck ... Call it what you will, but the Soul delivers the goods with tons of equipment and space for its price and size, an agreeable driving demeanor, and an even more powerful engine upgrade than the Kona's. We also think it's pretty cool. All of the above helped it win our subcompact SUV comparison test. Now, if there's one area where the Soul does not satisfy a typical SUV requirement, it's the lack of available all-wheel drive.
