The Hunk Of Junk That I Loved — It was 21 years old when I got my hands on it and it had been sitting in the street for about 6 years without moving. The acceleration was decent and the braking was ok. It had a few dents in it but nothing really noticeable, and the only rust was underneath. The car was great and ran fairly well for such an old car, but the front end rusted out and dropped onto the street when i was driving one day, and sadly the Buick ended up in somebody bush. V6-Automatic

Pros: Front wheel drive, near perfect interior, plenty of leg room

Cons: big, old, kinda ugly, rusted

The Last Of The Rwd Line: 1984 Buick Electra Park Avenue By GuyNewport

The pros and cons pretty much sum it up. It's a good older car that gets about the same MPG as a modern pick-up and is much nicer to drive on long trips with the added panache of the ancient body styl... Read More

It's A Good Demo Derby Car, That's About It By Kenneth

Huge car + 307 Olds engine = poor acceleration. Took effort to churn tires on tar. The tie rod on my specific car was far out of alignment, so it handled like crap, pulled to the right hard. Brakes w... Read More

Review By Guru958LN7

It’s a very good car. However, the dealer never bothered to reach out to me from my ad response, and never returned my call when I wanted to learn more about the car. Very poor! Read More
