Vehicle description
1996 Buick Roadmaster Estate Wagon
This is a GREAT car. Zero rust , the underbody of this car looks brand new, literally, i t"s like the original-California owners never even drove it in what little rain they get out there . I bought this and one other Roadmaster last year with project plans to build a hot-rod wagon out of it. I"ve since moved on to other projects, and now, reluctantly need to move the car after the last one (a blue one listed earlier) moved quick here on here.
This car has reasonable miles at 85k, but don"t let that fool you - underneath it looks better than most cars with less than 1/2 those miles . What really stands out is the condition of the frame, chassis, and everything you generally don"t see. There is just no rust. No surface rust. No corrosion. No nothing. It is really impressive in the engine bay, and underneath. This car appears to have been sold in California and remained there or at least somewhere there is basically no moisture through it"s whole life. I really can"t speak to how good the undercarriage looks, and I live in North Carolina, not exactly a bad climate - this thing looks like it just rolled off the assembly line underneath.
The body and paintwork show well, with some small dents and dings here and there. It"s clear this car was probably owned and driven by an older person. The faux-wood looks original and has random blemishes throughout though is in good shape for 22+ year old vinyl, the original trim looks decent too, with some repair of it on the passenger side fender (see photo again). The original wheels look great, minimal clean coat peeling and don"t appear to have any major rash over their long life, see photos. Hard to photo with the fake-wood, but there is a ding in the tail gate on the passenger side running over to the right rear fender and this encompasses the biggest body blemish I can highlight. Send me a message if you"d like details or my best photos. The glasswork unlike most GMs of this vintage has absolutely NO de-lamination present, the glasswork looks brand new frankly. The interior is WAY above average and looks great, better than most cars with 1/2 these miles. No cracks in the dash, no funny smells, no nothing - it looks really good. The seats in this car are super comfortable. The electrics seem to all work, and the car starts and runs good. The tires on this car are 100% NEW on the REAR and 60-70% tread life remaining on the front end end. The air conditioning blows ice cold and the radio sounds great.
This car is GOOD to drive home and in nice shape. Really, the interior and undercarriage/frame are better than most 25K cars: The only three things I need to highlight for you.
1) I dont have remotes for this car but can throw in some from my spare parts basket that need programming, if you ask.
2) I see minor dent/ding damage in the tailgate and probably some paint work on the passenger fender. I don"t see any underlying damage (THE UNDERcarriage is so clean you could eat off it!) but it"s clear the prior owner probably had a little trouble here and there maneuvering this 20ft beast.
3) The passenger side mirror glass fell off, I have a replacement complete mirror in the floorboard to bolt on -
This car is really nice, and if you"re looking for one to buy now and drive home this is it. It runs, starts, rides, drives and feels great. Yes, you can come get this one and drive it home, it"s that good. Yes, its still 22+ years old and something will be wrong with it, but man . this one is nice!
Buick wagons are hard to find! Lets make a deal. CLEAN North Carolina title IN HAND!
