Heh, was thinking the same thing.

Bon voyage :D

Seriously though, nice looking car looks like it was kept in good shape.

Nice car, but such a mudane speedometer, the font is nice and easy on the eyes though, but it screams bordem.

Whats the speaker in the middle of the dash for, the one next to the radio controls?

Is that a tombstone in the first pic in the background?:Q

My cousin had a 2000 Buick Century, its a pretty decent car. He inherited it from his parents. Best part about it was he'd speed on the highway and the cops never thought twice. He's really into the miliary, so he's got a bunch of hats in the back. I'm guessing any cop who saw him figured it was an 80 year old Veteran and let him go... ;)

What's a dial-up??

Seriously, the images were a bit large - even though I have a cable modem. I like Buick automobiles. It sounds like your parents got a good deal on the car. It should easily last you another 110K to 150K miles or more. The 3800 Series II is a good engine.

Nice. Chris got the images down to 130KB. Good man!

That car is much in demand. Three guys at work each bought one of those over the last few years. My brother-in-law just bought a 1993. My brother owns the Park Avenue. From what I've heard, they hold up pretty well.

I like ParkAvenues. Its like driving on a cloud so smooth. A little noisy on the highway, but still smooth. Nice seats too...

The ParkAvenua Ultra is a beast.

The only thing I don't like about Buicks and Chevrolet sedans is that they ride too high. I currently drive a 96 Chevrolet Lumina and I really want to cut the springs so the car is lowered about an inch or two. Also look into stiffer shocks. Even with a fully independent suspension, stiff shocks are a must if you dont want to sway too much when turning. :eek:

Needs new wheels and tires, but otherwise a nice car.

My brother has a 2002 Le Sabre Custom.

The type of grass we have turns brown in the winter and greens up during the spring. I hate it but when it does green up, it's really nice. We never have to water it either since we get plenty of rain during the summer.

Woah! My mother bought that exact same make/model/year/color about 4 months ago.
I call it her, granny boat.
