1996 buick roadmaster wagon 36,000 miles

[stritestoration]

If this car isn't suitable for this site, let me know....1996 Buick Roadmaster limited wagon. LT1 350 with 36,000 miles. This is the last year for these and as a sendoff they classified it as a "collectors edition" which meant a special hood ornament and fender tags. I recently aquired this from the second owner who was in his 80's and had it approximately 8 years. He was a Buick lover and knew the car since new and was able to purchase the car from the original owners when one deceased. It was always driven on nice sunny DRY days in winter only if the original owner had to go out at all. The second owner never let it see rain and only drove it about 500 miles a year. needless to say this car is near flawless. I'm not an authority on these but I will say that this is one of the nicest examples out there. Heated leather is soft and wear free, cargo area always had a carpet mat down as did the front floor mat area. Never smoked in, all options work as well. A few years back a new ac compressor was replaced and it blows ace cold. The true dual exhaust is all original and the tips even still shine. The exterior has a few paint brush touch ups on the rear bumper and you'd have to look hard to see. Other than that the paint and woodgrain is mint. The trim down the side is exceptional and literally has a mirror like finish throughout and the wheels are peel free and without rash.. Car runs like a dream and floats down the road. I can't express enough how clean it is all over. Car recently won a senior gold award at the Buick nationals held here locally in WI a few weeks back. Not many left like this. Asking $16.900 414-688-0604 http://s125.photobucket.com/user/jst...6%20roadmaster

----If this beauty does not have the tow package it is good for 24MPG on the road. With the change in rear end ratio in the tow package mileage will decrease slightly t0 22-23. I'm a big believer in these LT1 battleships. They do everything well. I have owned a 94 Caprice wagon for roughly 10 years. Bought it with 50,000 on the clock and it now reads 174,000. It still gets 23 MPG on trips. In all that time the only two things that happened were distributer malfunctions and that was cured by 1996. While it would be a shame to add many miles to this Buick it will take anyone one on this board out to the end of their lives if so desired!......Bill S

We had a 64 wagon -- 283 w/spd OD ... great car. Used it to take my wife and daughter (and haul everything we owned) to WI from NM in 68. AF decided I needed to go back to Nam' again. While car was in Wi, my Mom and daughter were in it -- hit in the rear by another car ... it was totaled (Mom and daughter OK) !! TAZ
