  Great Value - 2001 Buick Park Avenue
  By JBN - June 22 - 2:40 pm

  Ive owned over 40 cars, and this Buick ranks near the top. I purchased it 6 months ago when it only had 20K miles. I now have 42K miles on the car. I still cant believe I get between 35 - 40 mpg on the highway. A few minor issues with dash squeaks/rattles.

  I have owned this car for two years and have had no problems. It is driven about 25,000 miles per year. My husband and I both love the car and the ride.

  If it was only a little better looking! - 2001 Buick Park Avenue
  By Alan - January 24 - 3:10 pm

  Overall Ive been happy with this car. I put on a lot of miles and averaged about 21mpg which is impressive for a car this size. The supercharged engine really boogies, and it has every option you can ask for. But it is not attractive. As my kids say: its a "grampa car". I did have problems with the rear struts and rotors, but that might have been caused by Brooklyn roads.

  Quality used car - 2001 Buick Park Avenue
  By SilverBulett - May 15 - 10:00 am

  General Quality: Very Good to Excellent. 44K Miles on odometer when purchased. Minor problems with: power seats, CD changer (nio instructions), brake lights (fuse), and transmission (some slippage when started & humidity is 90+%). Nice ride. Good fuel economy. Comfortable interior. Great room for a passenger car. A big factor in buying this car was the big depreciation: originally a $40K car I picked it up for $16K. Compared to Nissan Max, a $34K car (2001) sells for $17K, this is a bargain.

  Too many trips to the repair shop - 2001 Buick Park Avenue
  By linda cowherd - January 18 - 2:00 am

  Ive made 14 trips to the repair show. Dealership has been awsome, GM stinks. They dont return calls. Did finally provide extenede warranty at n/c but I never got anything in writing to prove it. Dealership finally printed off their computer showing warranty. Repairs made, so far, on doors, transmission, heads up computer, leak in trunk, on star was not programmed correctly, key would not release, lock/unlock buttons on inside car, door panel keeps coming off, engine races and runs rough when starting up..who knows what will be next!

  NoMoBuicks - 2001 Buick Park Avenue
  By nomobuicks - December 17 - 10:00 am

  Where to start? Brakes groaned and moaned since purchase. Over 5 brake jobs, no cure. Drivers seat, after 20 minutes, major backache. Factory Rep. stated: " Well its not our fault your body is built weird!". (Seat was installed crooked). Now thats a company with an attitude. Um, Im built quite normal. More maintenance problems, over 20 days in shop in 5 months. After 5 Buicks, No More! Quality is job gone. NoMoBuicks.
