1992 Buick Park Avenue review from North America
"Smooth, comfortable and quiet"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing has gone wrong while I've owned it, but it came with a few problems.
The gas gauge, tachometer, and the other guages are all out right now.
General comments?
I bought this car from a couple in their 80's, for $4,000. Its in perfect shape with low miles. I paid a lot, but did so partly based on the good reviews Park Avenues get on this site.
The comfort, quiet, and smoothness are wonderful. The car handles better than my 1984 Olds Delta 88. However it definitely seems less sturdy.
It has adequate power, but is reluctant to downshift out of overdrive. Mileage is excellent at about 25-30. Ice cold air which is important in Missouri. The biggest reason I bought this to replace my Olds Delta 88 was the Old's air is out. Also that car is a gas hog.
I'm hoping to get the gauge problems fixed and get at least 100K miles out of the car.
