If I only had $ 3,000 to buy a used sedan - The Buick Park Avenue

2000 Buick Park Avenue

Comment: we rented one when our son graduated from USMC boot camp in San Diego.

Car drama

We are parking in the street this week as we had our driveway repaved and are not to drive on it for 7 days (or park on it for 14)

Today as we left church, Kathee noted a pool of fluid under the car. I wasn't convinced it was anything but when we got home there was a similarly sized pool where we had parked on the street.

After lunch we purposed to drop the car off at Lupient for repair on Tuesday. Kathee drove the Buick and I followed behind with my truck. About 3/4 the way there the Buick overheated so Kathee stopped and turned off the engine. We called a tow truck and waited.

A very nice gentleman was mowing his grass there. He brought out iced-water and we chatted for almost an hour.

Finally the tow truck arrived.

I think we are OK because I looked at the owener's manual and we have a 4 year / 50,000 m warranty. We are at 3 years and 37,000 miles.
