Aic conditioner blows only at the windshield and at your feet. Any air from the front vents is obsolete.
Driver's side rear-view mirror became dislodged.
Armrests on doors are coming loose (also a problem on my sister's Buick PA).
Back passengers windows can only be controlled by the driver.
This car is very quick, unfortunately it uses tons of gas.
Six passenger vehicle makes it very roomy and spacious.
Tons of leg room, hip room, and cargo space.
Hauls on long trips, and great for camping.
Acceleration is quite superb!
Most comfortable car ever, very spacoius, and have a great sound system esp. if you replace the factory speaker with some subs and hook the 6-9's to an amp.
I had to rebuild the 440T transmission at about 110,000 miles. This may be due to abuse early in the life of the transmission. I inherited the car with 12,000 miles on it. I drove it home about 200 miles, and then discovered the transmission was 3 quarts low on fluid. From receipts I found in the glove box, this was apparently due to a faulty Jiffy Lube transmission service.
Other than that, the car has run fine. I just put a new paint job on it, and the leather seats are still in fine condition. I can't figure out if the power seat controls are wired up wrong or just weird by design. The recline and tilt rocker switches seem to do the same thing.
The rear air shock level sensor went bad and jacked the rear end a foot higher. After pricing a new sensor, available only from GM, I just disconnected the pump and tapped air out until the car sat level again.
On my last long freeway road trip, it averaged an astonishing 31 m.p.g., though normal freeway driving gets about 28 m.p.g. and typical commuting around 24 m.p.g. As long as you maintain a constant speed, it takes very little gas to keep this car rolling.
I own a 1990 Park Avenue and has almost 120,000 miles on it. I have not had any problems with the 3800 V6 engine. The sound systems concert 2 is very good when you put in a after factory cd player. But also watch very closly at your eletrical systems, like the sunroof, windows, locks, and also the anti-theft system and keyless entry systems. But over all this car can easly be mantaind and kepted nice.
I own two 1990 Buick Park Avenue's. These
cars have been great. These cars are very plush and they
drive much nicer then my 1993 Cadillac De ville. I recommend these cars for people who want reliability and a touch of
class.
