1998 Buick Park Avenue Base 3800 from UK and Ireland
Summary:
A splendid car for relaxed driving
Faults:
When I bought the car it had bad paint and some rust under the doors, the A/C clutch was toast, the trunk actuator didn't work, and a rear window switch was faulty.
I had the car resprayed, replaced or repaired the other faults and have just started using the car.
General Comments:
Effortless driving experience, acres of interior space, comfortable and quiet. The original stereo still works perfectly. Cavernous trunk space for my wife's shopping!
Seems to give good gas mileage for a car of this size and performance.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

I've just bought a 1998 Park Avenue, in the UK. It has 176k miles behind it. I had 3 other cars with the 231 V6 engine, in my opinion one of the best engines GM ever made. Only had a short drive in it so far, my wife loves the acres of interior space and quiet cushy ride - so do I!
It has a little rust, but I work in refinishing supply shop, so I know the good paint shops in my area. When I've done a little work I shall be leaving my own review. Update, the trunk release mechanism doesn't work. A new one will cost $74 including shipping. Many domestic cars have more expensive parts.
