Used Buick Park Avenue for Sale near Tupelo, MS

This 1995 Buick Park Avenue has been in my possession for almost 13 years now and we've covered nearly 84,000 miles together. I can't even begin to emphasize how much I cherish the Buick's dependability. Except on two occasions when the battery died, the car would ALWAYS start up and run fine under any condition. Nothing has changed in that respect, the Buick is as solid as a rock. One of the reason for that is the venerable 231 CID V6 under the hood, an engine whose origin dates back to 1962 and that has been constantly refined since then. It's really a shame GM stopped making that old pushrod V6 in 2009 merely because it didn't meet the latest emissions standards. My '95 is the base sedan with the naturally aspirated engine that produces 205 horsepower, plenty enough for a car that size and weight. 0-60 arrives in approx. 8 seconds, top speed is a true 128 mph (verified with a GPS sensor on the German Autobahn). Thanks to the Buick's auxiliary engine and transmission oil coolers (it's an export model), it won't overheat on sustained high-speed runs like all American engines without them. The four-speed automatic transaxle continues to shift smoothly all day long even after 13 years of everyday use. All it took was an oil change every few years, nothing more. The Park Avenue is a front-wheel-drive automobile and it shows. It's front-heavy and understeers markedly, even with the (unjustly) famed Gran Touring Suspension. In my experience, this heavy-duty suspension only makes the car ride more harshly but doesn't really help cornering. No, the Park Avenue is a cruiser, not a racer, and should be driven accordingly. If you want a sports sedan, get a BMW. The interior appointments are splendid and leave nothing to be desired. The car has literally every option in the book (most of them standard equipment, anyway) and they all work fine - except the traction control system which ceased to function years ago but isn't missed, and the heating system for the driver's seat, which I never used, anyway. The Park Avenue is a marvel of efficient space utilization, quite unlike the many older American cars that I've owned and/or driven. At 205 inches in length, the Buick is not a small car, but a whole lot shorter and narrower than its rear-wheel-drive predecessors from the Sixties and Seventies, yet it offers more space inside than they ever did. Even when the driver's seat is all the way back, like in my case, the passenger riding behind me still enjoys plenty of legroom, not to mention all the comfort and convenience of a cushy living room on wheels. Every person who has ever sat in the Park Avenue has commented very favorably on its outstanding comfort. My Park Avenue has been with me for a long time and I'll take good care of it so it may continue to provide faithful service for many more years to come.

We love this 2005 buick park ave! purchased base model new with many upgrades from the ultra and its been a terrific car. Wish Buick hadnt decided to stop manufacturing this car.

Loved this car in every way....looks, comfort, reliability & handled great. Had lots of power! Tons of room in the trunk. Sure wish Buick would bring the 3800 engine back as I got 28-30 mpg on the highway with this car! Got about 20-24 in city. The engine in my 2009 Lucerne is not as powerful or gas efficient!!

This car was best luxury and riding car. Hard on gas but had 3.8 supercharged motor. Was able to drive all day long on highway and not be tired out. Always started even in -30 C weather. Would buy another

Gorgeous car. Understated, conservative good looks, with just enough chorme. Solid performance for its size with the supercharger, it will hit 0-60 in 7.5 seconds. leather and butt warmers and a sunroof in a spacious package with a smooth ride. real and faux wood set off a nicely designed interior. torque keeps the power on hand at any speed. 240hp and 280 ft/lbs of torque. over 10 years old and 122,xxx miles on it and still runs smoothly and starts eagerly. Oldschool American big car. A classic.
