1995 Buick Park Avenue review from North America
"Well built, luxury ride, responsive to throttle (due to supercharger)"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Leather seats will crack and split unless you stay on top of them with cleaner and conditioner.
The Park Ultra 3.8 is a strong, stiff engine, built up at the factory to withstand supercharging. Change oil at 2000 or less. Use the best oil you can buy and change the filter every time.
If you don't take decent care of this engine, you will find that the parts for it, due to their heavier duty rating, are quite expensive. Starters, water pumps, and on and on.
General comments?
Have owned several Buick Parks. They DO have a conservative 'retiree' look about them. And I think that's a GOOD thing.
Unless you're doing something flagrant in traffic, police tend to find Park Avenues rather boring. Not worth much attention. If you like the clean, simple lines of the car, you'll find yourself invisible to police.
Also be aware that, due to that supercharger, a Park Ultra must have premium fuel. Start burning cheap gas in it...and you won't like the result.
