1988 Buick Park Avenue review from North America
"I will always own one of these cars for driving pleasure!!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Armrests have worn on drivers side.
Replaced with a matching junkyard one.
ECM computer replaced at 150,000.
Passenger side concert sound II speaker
failed at 155,000 replaced with junkyard
part.
Exhaust replaced at around 155,000.
Keyless entry on door quit beeping at
156,000 had dealer replace.
Moonroof will not vent anymore.
General comments?
Well BUICK people this Park Avenue must have
been built on a weds or thurs this car has
outdone my 1985 Park Avenue my 1986 Electra
T-Type and my 1990 Park Avenue Ultra.
This Park Avenue has surpassed my 1987 Electra
T-Type by 128,000 miles and still runs smooth
and uses NO and I mean NO OIL!!!
I feel that that these are some of the most
reliable cars out there. The leather still
holds that dark red lustre. BUICK YOU ARE
THANKED BY MANY...
P.S. Can anyone tell me if you can put a digital dash in place of a regular analog dash???
