The joy of owning a Buick; the car is especially good in winter,
I have not had any major problems with this vehicle. The only minor problem we occurred was the power windows stopped working due to a burnt out fuse. Aside from that the car has been great. It is a big automobile and the gas mileage is not bad for its size. The comforts of the car are just fantastic.

A story of a beautiful car! One of the details of the Buick is the many extras.
My Buick park avenue is a very classic auto. It is comfort level is second to none. It is a car that is perfect for long road trips. The sound system is of such high quality that you would think that you are in the opera house. The leg room the cushy seats are all part of the wonderful interior. Then you get to the beautiful outside. Well done! Beautiful!

Beautiful leather interior.
Our 2003 Buick park avenue is a great car. We bought in august, 2017, and it only had 82, 000 miles on it and was in excellent shape. It has leather interior and looks brand new on the inside. It rides really smooth and you can barely hear it running. It is really a great car. It should last us for a while longer as low mileage and good shape its in.

Has heated seats that do NOT work & electric window kits had to be replaced!
Nothing but trouble! Bought a used Park Avenue 2003 last year, October 2018. Purchased for $2k and have already put double that into the car! Tire rods, battery, 3 tires, headlights, brakes, multiple oil changes, new starter, Very unreliable as it starts & immediately turns off & it must be restarted, transmission is almost gone jerks terribly going uphill and upon reaching 40mph! Oh! Almost forgot it needs a motor mount!

A get up and go very fast car!
Clean, comfortable grandma car, electric windows and seats, leather interior, stereo has CD, cassette, AM/FM radio. The supercharger makes it a breeze to speed up to pass other vehicles. The seats are warmed in the front. The backseat is very comfortable.

The truck is huge and amazing to carry everything for a weekend getaway!
The seats are very comfy; but the comfort goes away fast. The car feels like a big boat, I feel like it too big for smaller women who aren't used to driving bigger cars. I love how it has six seats. But you definitely cannot fit three car seats in the back. It's a tight fit.

This is a very fuel-efficient large car. It is comfortable and should last a long time.
My car is large and well built. I love the features my car has and its gas mileage. I prefer trucks but at this time a car is more practical for my family.

I purchased mine for 3,400. It was used and in great condition. If it was new, it probably would've been more expensive. The price was good value!!
