Description:
1994 Buick Century SPECIAL
This is my 1994 Buick Estate wagon. It's one of the last years of the A body, it's true prime time was in the '80s. If you grew up in that era as I did, you spent time riding in one of these bad boys. That's why I bought it, nostalgia. The car is super cool, or "rad" as we'd say back then.The car runs and drives amazing. It's hard to believe that it's nearly 30 years old. It's the corporate GM 3.1L V6 with auto trans. It fires up instantly and purrs like a kitten. It drives down the road exactly like you'd expect a Buick wagon to...it's like driving a couch. Smooth, soft, quiet. I've had it cruising at 75mph down the highway and it was a fabulous ride. All of the gauges work, even the tiny lights by the power locks and windows work. The seats are in amazing condition, and are power operated. It even has the backwards facing 3rd row seat!!! Remember those? The car can seat 8 in total if needed. The HVAC controls work perfectly. Heater is blisteringly hot. I think the a/c works, but it hasn't been warm enough outside to test for sure...I do know that when I put it on I hear the compressor kick in and I can defog the windshield instantly, so I'm pretty sure it works. Windows work fine. Brakes are fine. It has an aftermarket stereo with Bluetooth and a great back up camera, which works perfectly. Someone put some love into this thing for sure.
No, the car isn't a perfect show car. If it were, it'd be worth much more. Here's the list of items I know, they're all cosmetic. Dash top has a few cracks. Not horrid, but not perfect. The hood ornament is missing, but I have another. Looks like it's had some paint work done in spots. Left quarter is the worst of the body, as you can see in the pictures. The car is straight. The fake woodgrain has faded off the sides. The genuine 3M stuff GM used is stupid expensive, I was going to use stuff from Amazon or Michaels. True mileage is unknown, odometer is broken at 13x,xxx miles.
So why am I selling? I love the car, but my wife and I just bought an historic home. It needs a new roof...it has the original slate roof on it. Ever priced one of those? Go ahead, I dare you...LOL. I just want to sell my toys, get the house right and then I'll go back later and get new toys. Gotta do what a husband's gotta do.
