A Sweet Ride

[dalyduo]

Depending on your definition of sweet.

My 86 year old step dad passed on recently and left behind his Midnight Blue Pearl '99 Buick Park Avenue. He had it dealer serviced by the book its entire life. Its been driven 86,000 pampered miles and would make a great cheap station car, family hauler or car to leave at a second house. It seats six, has a huge trunk and a 205hp 6 cylinder engine that returns 23 city and 28mpg hwy. It's loaded and has dual A/C controls for driver and passenger. If you shop at the "Big &Tall" shop this is the car for you.

Oddly enough Peter Egan from Road & Track picked up a similar but earlier version to use as his "salt" car during Wisconsin winters a while back and wrote a column on how unexpectedly good it was. The car gets high marks in all the consumer ratings for mechanical reliability.

I can't use it myself but know it will be a great value for someone who needs good reliable transportation.

Asking $4,200

This is a representative picture not the actual car itself but the real one has spent most of its days in Ridgefield CT and looks great.

Send me a private message if you are interested or have any questions.

Thanks,

Pat

I'm guessing that Dick Lippert is passing the hat at the Masters race as we speak, regretting all the while having to sell the Olds '88 to upgrade to this beauty.

It's his new stunt practice car. It'll do 180's, reverse 180's and box 90's all week long and then take the whole family to church on Sunday.

It's easy to grin. When your ship comes in. And you've got the stock market beat. But the man worthwhile, Is the man who can smile, when his shorts aren't too tight in the seat.
I watch caddy shack whenever i have to fly.

OK, added some characters. BTW, you Caddyshack fans may not have seen the SB golf outing / Caddyshack version.
Def worth watching David Casey being the ball - starts at 2:40 into the vid.

Also check out this different version (2:56) with more Caddyshack material and commentary by (a very hoarse) Sydude.

(we'll need an entire new website if we get into a C-Shack quote-a-thon )
