1995 Buick Roadmaster Estate Wagon review from North America
"Excellent example of Detroit's best days"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The radio was on "LOC" due to the battery having been disconnected. I researched on the internet and found out how to reset it, and it now works fine.
Some of the imitation wood trim on the exterior has begun to wear off, but the general appearance is still very good.
General comments?
I traveled to New Jersey from Colorado to get this car, as there were none available closer during the 4 months I searched for one. It was worth the trip. Drove it home almost 1800 miles without a problem and didn't burn any oil at all. Averaged 20-22 MPG and for a car this size, that was impressive! I expect that with a good tune up and a bit of general maintenance, it should do better!
This wagon is truly a luxury vehicle, with every option including heated power seats, a dual action tailgate, stereo cassette, cruise, automatic headlights and rear view mirror to name just a few, it's a pleasure to drive and VERY comfortable! I understand why it was no difficult to find one... people who have them, keep them!
