1997 Buick Park Avenue review from North America
"Sluggish, but comfortable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Also seems to be the head gasket- received a tip that it may be plenum. I will check with the mechanic.
Other than that the car has been good- just a geezer boring car, bit of a dog off the line, but comfortable.
