  happy with ole Bessie - 1997 Buick Park Avenue
  By toquinn55 - November 5 - 2:30 pm

  We bought this car from our neighbor. He had bought it used. I love this car. It drives like a dream. I has given me very little trouble. (Battery, plugs, tires, etc.) The only complaint that I have is the paint on the trunk has flaked off. Other than this, I love it.

  Love My Ultra - 1997 Buick Park Avenue
  By JrRidge - February 20 - 2:00 am

  I purchased my Ultra in Woodbridge Virginia with 74,500 miles and it has been a great car. I like the size of the car and it rides like a limo on the highway. The only problems Ive had was with getting the fan, supercharger belts and water pump replaced at 125,000 miles for over $700. Ive also had the front brake roters replaced twice due to warpage. The car runs great still and I now have over 144,000 miles on it. I believe Ill get over 200,000 on it like the Olds Regency I still own with over 211,000 miles on it which my son crashed it for me.

  The Best Car I have Ever Owned - 1997 Buick Park Avenue
  By Marc Neal - May 19 - 2:00 am

  This is the fourth Park Ave. that I have owned. I have 145,000 miles on this car now and I am shopping for another one just like it. It is a sporty large comfortable car. With only a few minor problems in the four years I have owned it, I would highly recommend a Park Avenue Ultra for a consumer who needs ultimate comfort and reliability, and styling.

  Good decision - 1997 Buick Park Avenue
  By jam4568 - October 21 - 10:00 am

  I am very happy to have purchased this vehicle. Because of its high depreciation, I got a real bargain. It is a loaded luxurious sedan in perfect condition with low milage for a great price.

  I like my Ultra - 1997 Buick Park Avenue
  By Cimunique - July 24 - 10:00 am

  I bought my first Buick Ultra in 1992. I drove it until it 1997 when it was in an accident. I didnt want to get rid of it because I really liked the body style. I did not have any problems with that vehicle until until I was hit. The Ultra I have now is great like the one before. I make sure all the maintainence is done timely and it has been a job to own. It is a great vehicle. When I buy another car it will more than likely be a Buick Ultra. I dont know of a better vehicle.

  Top car - 1997 Buick Park Avenue

  Big car, great gas mileage - 1997 Buick Park Avenue
  By TMM - January 19 - 6:36 am

  I bought this so I could have a big luxury car, yet also wanted to be able to get wife and all 4 of my kids in if necessary. Great on cruising interstates, and pretty good on curvy roads as well. Its very roomy and comfortable with a large trunk. Surprisingly great gas mileage, around 27-30 on highway. It has served my purposes well as a luxury car for business driving, yet its good for family trips. Its reliable with no mechanical or engine problems, and gets good gas mileage for a car of this size to boot.

  Good Car - 1997 Buick Park Avenue
  By davermon - March 1 - 12:00 am

  Very good car with amazing gas mileage for the size and build. My Father and Grandmother both have Buicks, (Dads is a 92 Park Ave and Grandmas is a 89 Century). They both got great gas mileage, but not as good as mine! I get 34 highway and 26 city. It is a good heavy car that holds the road when driving and is good on ice with the automatic traction control option. The previous owner had the melted plastic piece on the manifold, but his warranty covered it and he told me if it happened again he would cover it personally. Havent had one major problem with it and the former owner only had the plastic piece problem. 157,000 with only one problem isnt bad.
