B Jake Moran Posted October 14, 2022 Author Share Posted October 14, 2022 These are becoming extinct. I posted because as 2nd or 3rd or fill in the blank in a collection, I would own one, or a LeSabre. This one has been cleaned up by this dealer, detailed. No way is it a nearly $9,000 car. The dealer will likely wholesale it in the spring. It is a dealer that usually has Corvettes and such for sale for too much money. I would buy it for $2,000. If a person seriously was looking for one, a nationwide search over a few months would likely find a few one or 2 owner 1986 to 1991 Park Avenues/LeSabres that would be equally as nice or better. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRJBUICK Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 B Jake Moran i have to respectfully agree and disagree with your above comment above is it to much money to ask for this car, quick answer YES but your buy it price is way to low depending on condition these cars are fair between 4 to 6k with this mileage and condition i owned an 88 in the early 2000s, and absolutely loved driving it, big feel inside but not huge outside they changed things in 88 mid year they went to the balance shaft 3800 much smother but not quite as snotty as the earlier lesabres with the 3.8, and they put in the electronic trans a big improvement in reliability. depending on the options changes the price as always, alot of these have cloth so the leather is a plus no digital dash or gages dash but has climate control and concert sound, interesting color, and its missing the raised flat bar on the luggage rack this car has the 14in wheels as most do, i always felt these cars were under tired and should have all came with 15in these cars will do 80-90 all day long and ride in Buick comfort my opinion but to me these are a plus to a collector just not at the price Marty 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Y-JobFan Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 I agree that the $8800 is to high, super clean examples of these bring $5-6K regularly when offered, even real decent over 100K miles bring $3500-4000. That being said, if i were in the market for one this one would be of interest but in the long run I would hold out the search until I found an Ultra. As comfortable as this one is, the Ultra trumps it in every way. The Ultra also as the larger wheels/tires 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRJBUICK Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 Totally agree on the Ultra never had one YET also wouldn't mind the T-TYPE, again with the wheels there was a 89 Park Ave that i was keeping an eye on that had the leather interior and the handling pkg with the 15in wheels but unfortunately the son got it and now is slowly being trashed ah well 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that this is a pleasing car. I would like to see a 1985-1987 Electra or Park Avenue 2-door. They are almost never seen today, and even when new, they were rarely seen. After 1987, only 4-door sedans were made. Are any 2-doors available? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walt G Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 Listen and heed what Marty - MrJBuick has to stay about cars , He is a good friend here on long island and is an outstanding mechanic and totally passionate about Buicks ! Note he is a Director of the LI Buick Club - I have belonged to that for many years and it is one of the best clubs I have ever been a member of ( I am not overstating that , to me it is fact) . They had great monthly meetings, tours, events and really sincerely care about their members. Thank You Marty for your opinion on an era of automobiles I know nothing about!

John_S_in_Penna Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 I often say that many models are disappearing, while collectors, focused on the older cars or the more specialty cars, don't even notice. This seemingly commonplace Park Avenue is a case in point. I just did a nationwide search of Craig's List and other sites using www.autotempest.com. There was only one other car like this for sale, but it was weathered. Yet Roadmaster wagons, Rivieras, Reattas, etc. were readily available. So this seemingly ordinary car may someday be truly rare. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B Jake Moran Posted October 17, 2022 Author Share Posted October 17, 2022 John I agree, and do not disagree with others regarding pricing. I'm just cheap, and who is buying these cars? Many of these cars were handed down to sons and daughters after mom and dad drove them, and they beaten into the ground. I used to see many in the local U Pick It Yards. I posted as a curiosity. I think "Centurion" has a Lesabre from this era. The 2 doors Lesabres did have a nice look, but slow sales even then were their downfall. I have owned a silver with black leather 1988 Lesabre T Type, and loved it. But they seem to have disappeared only seen in enthusiast hands now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like a deal. Also looks like there may be a bunch of cigarette burns in the carpet so it probably smells great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_S_in_Penna Posted October 20, 2022 Share Posted October 20, 2022 (edited) The pictures which Jake posted disappeared for some reason. I have saved a few from the original ad and reposted them here, for a long-term record. I hope this way they will remain. By the way, the dealer's asking price is still $8888, and the car is in Des Moines, Iowa: Edited October 20, 2022 by John_S_in_Penna (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
