1999 Buick Regal GS
Offered here only for now, but I might put it at the end of the driveway too.
Yes, it's supercharged.
Safe, quick, quiet, comfortable, and ready to use.
Bought new by my father, and used by by mother, an actual little old lady, 2007 - 2019. Always garaged and properly maintained, but also
driven year round.
107 K miles. Smaller supercharger pulley (a Christmas present to my father in 2002 or so), no other modifications
I had intended to have kid #2 use this for school this year, but he turned it down. Before that, I replaced (or had my local shop replace)
- 2 tires (they all match and are recent)
- all 4 struts
- all hard brake lines
- all hard fuel lines
- steering rack
- power steering pump
- A/C compressor
- fuel filter
- rear lower control arms
- supercharger coupling and supercharger oil
- front speakers (much better!)
Runs and drives great. Smooth and quiet. Cold A/C. Stops straight, vibration-free, and quiet. Comfy seats. Rides like a Buick.
Paint is nice and shiny. It looks a little bit light and flat and washed out in the pictures. It's prettier in person. Interior is pleasant but shows some wear on the front seats and steering wheel. Original floor mats look like new because they were always under a second set of floor mats.
Issues:
- left rear window won't go down. If you manually disconnect it from the motor and lower the window, the motor puts it back up just fine
- small dent on right front fender (see pictures)
- there was a small coolant leak, but it seems to have gone away. It will come back when you test drive the car, but it's not happening now.
- A few small scratches on the rear bumper and elsewhere, many of which will, in fact, buff out
- The shop that did some of the above work says it needs rear pads and rotors, and belts. I think they're a little premature.
- the original muffler is approaching end of life, but it's still completely Buick quiet
- The inside rear view mirror is a little wavy.
Please look at all the pictures.
My father is a retired CPA. He keeps extensive and immaculate financial records (including tax returns back to 1963), but is less interested in
keeping records on cars, other than ownership documents, so I don't have much of a paper trail for maintenance records, but it got what it needed when it needed it, up until 2015 or so, and I've corrected all of that.
Title is in my name. Inspection in person strongly preferred, and I prefer that the buyer pick up the car and provide payment in person. The car is located in Too Juan Juan Tree Sicks.
Additional items included
- the original springs, which should be a little stiffer than the ones on the car
- engine cover, which is not on the car
- the stock supercharger pulley, and the tools/parts to install it
- a car cover suitable for indoor use
- log book, which is missing a few pages, but there is enough there for you to understand the level of maintenance
$3500
Trades:
Probably not. Two unlikely possibilities, both require cash from me. I'm going to buy a Corolla, Civic, Camry, or Accord for kid #2. It will be
in great shape, have an Automatic, few or no needs, and be under $10K. If you'd like to part with one of those, let's talk. I could also
consider a truck (for me), but I'm unrealistically picky: 3/4 ton, 4x4, extended cab or crew cab, 6.5' bed, gas engine over 400 CI (or 6.0 LS),
manual transmission, light colored interior, great condition, under 150 K miles. Yeah, no one has that.
