Park Avenue 3800

  • Automatic transmission
  • 292,856 miles

I bought the car for only $863. I've put over $3000 in the car to get it fix. It is my first car and I didn't want to buy another one. I bought all the parts for the car that I was told would get it fixed and it still won't crank. It is such a pain in the butt to keep having to pay someone to take me places when I have 2 cars that won't work. I payed cash for them both so I have no warranty on either. I replaced the crank sensor in the car. I drove for maybe 2 miles before cutting off in the road and not cranking again. I was told that buicks were great cars and would do me good as long as I kept it serviced and made sure coolant was in it but boy were they wrong. I know I got my moneys worth from this car but it would have been great to be able to keep driving it. Now it's sitting in my parents yard taking up space. It really sucks that I don't have any more money to put into it because I really love this car. It wasn't much but it is mine I don't owe anything on it and the taxes are only like $32 compared to the $300 tax on my new car that won't crank. It would be nice if I could trade them both in for something reliable though.
