1989 Buick Electra Park Avenue - Walkaround & Drive - 75k Miles!

Let's go for an rainy afternoon drive in this lovely 1989 Buick Electra Park Avenue! With 75k miles and finished in Claret Red Metallic Clearcoat with matching red velour interior and well-appointed with dual power seats, wire wheel covers, and a nice-quality recent refinish, this Park Avenue.
Riding GM's premium front-drive C-Body architecture shared with front-drive Cadillac's and Oldsmobile Ninety-Eight, the Park Avenue was the popular 'mid-level' trim between the base Electra and extra-plush Ultra.
With generous room for six, a powerful 3.8l V6, smooth 4-speed automatic, and unexpected comforts like 8-way power seats, electronic climate control, Twilight Sentinel, and premium Concert Sound II audio system, this big Buick is regarded as one of the finest products from General Motors in modern times.
This particular Park Avenue was purchased new in Pennsylvania where it was driven sparingly and accumulated 50k miles over the course of fifteen years. It came to Florida to its second owner in 2015 and has been here ever since. Enjoying a refinished exterior within the past 10 months, this car has been pampered and it shows with the majority of electronic options working as intended.
This makes a great addition to your Buick collection, a beautiful driver to enjoy, and a real treat to own to anyone who enjoys these great little luxury sedans!
Enjoy this video walkaround and drive and, as always, if you have any questions, please feel free to call/text me at 727-226-3097.
See you on the road!

My first car. Got it off my dad when I was 17. Everyone called it my “old man car.” It rode like a cloud, so comfortable. Handled well. Kickass sound system. Loud ass train horn too. The electroluminescent opera lights were very unique. This car brings me back, loved it.

[@mikestoolfun]

I had one and it was a beast!! Loved it! Pillow top seats.. 🤤 loved it.

[@MichaelJones-xl1uu]

My parents had this exact same color and year. I always luved this vehicle so much luxury and space the seats inside this vehicle are out of this world you can't find cars like this anymore the car makers now are more concerned about technology than comfort.

[@charlesmcginness7214]

I loved those cars. My aunt had an ‘85 and a ‘90. Loved those Rivieras like the one in the background too.

[@TVHouseHistorian]

Back in the late 1990's I had a 1988 Park Avenue with just over 89k miles I bought from an elderly man who purchased it brand new. The car had leather interior, electronic level control, and drove like it was brand new. I was in my early 20's at the time, and had a blast packing it full of friends and going on road trips. I could pack the cabin with 6 people, pack the trunk full of our belongings, and the air suspension would level the car out perfectly so it didn't even feel like the car had any more than 1 person in it. After I traded it in a few years later, I happened to run into the guy who bought it from the auction the dealership sold it to. He told me it was the best driving car he'd ever owned, and he drove it regularly between Seattle and San Francisco. By this time, he had already put over 300k miles on it, and it still ran like a watch. Say what you will about this generation of Park Avenue/Regency/Sedan deVille/whatever... Aside from the build quality, these cars were absolutely solid. Out of all the cars I've ever owned, the '88 Park Avenue is the one I regret trading in the most.

[@lamontmcdaniels322]

How much did you pay for it

[@TVHouseHistorian]

@@lamontmcdaniels322 Right around $1500.

[@bfry38]

They are amazing cars I had a 89 Buick Park Ave. I love the little light out by the door at night

[@TVHouseHistorian]

@@bfry38 The opera light? Yes, that was so elegant!

[@bfry38]

Yes sir

[@janbill79]

I bought a 2 owner 1988 this spring. the 89 your showing seems the same as mine. Mine has 125000 miles, My radio had to be replaced, I got an exact factory one out of a Camero and a Cadillac think I used the Cadillac. good reception , & the cassette works. The only flaw in the original paint is the peeling on the hood. and mech. heat & air don't work. I use it every time I go to my sons house, as it's a bumpy 100 miles down & I don't even notice the bumps, the reason I forked out almost 2000 for it. and the reliability they say the 3800 engine has, mine pre 1st gen 3800 engine uses no oil. I had to drive it 1000 miles home, from the south to the midwest. 34 yr old car gave me no problems, just needed a blanket as I got into Wisconsin. It has that wierd automatic heat /air control / the control's, been replaced as rear window defroster won't come on, still no heat

[@Slim1423]

The 3800 was a popular engine from what i hear. I have a 91 buick LeSabre, same 3800 engine and i have a heater issue too. Maybe bad thermostat, but i also have a leaky intake gasket currently. Getting ready to replace gasket, and that may solve the heater issue because i am losing antifreeze from the leaky intake gaskets.

[@Matticus-mb6wl]

Flush your heater core if a thermostat doesn't fix the heat.

[@jackjohnson7396]

Great cars, especially on the highway. Rented one for a couple of weeks back then in L.A. So comfortable, could cruise at 90 going to Vegas no sweat. Over 30 years ago, amazing!

[@mulehead3697]

Those cars were so good and dependable

[@indalecioalcaraz7263]

SUPER BUICK..PURE GM POWER

[@Matt-xr4it]

I have a 1990 buick electra limited with the 3800 motor i absolutely love the thing

[@bfry38]

As long as them 3800 engines do not overheat they will run forever great engine

[@taronwilliams8633]

These Park Avenues and Regency 98s are my to favorites.

[@lamontmcdaniels322]

You ever had one ?

[@gdi9320]

Looks great in the rain.

[@Trance88]

These are great cars. My grandpa had an '88 from around 1995 till my grandpa's death in 2003 when it was sold. One time in the late 90's when the car was left at a car repair place, some thieves stole it and used it as a getaway car. They ended up crashing it through a fence and the only damage was a few scratches.

[@ericwilliams8136]

Tough buick my grandma had one same color as this one it was an ‘86

[@warriors1991]

Next time you decide to remove and or replace the badging, heat the badge with a hairdryer. It’ll soften up the adhesive, allowing it to be easily removed/replaced. You’ll never have to worry about pulling up paint or leaving adhesive/residue.

[@NomadicDmitry]

Such a beautiful car

[@mattmc8391]

This thing needs white walls stat !

[@chris92282]

I agree. If you are going to have wire wheels, white wall tires are a must.

[@Ccyawn123]

Yes!

[@kxngearner698]

I always loved these bodystyle fwd(Buick LeSabre Buick Park Avenue Oldsmobile Delta 88 & Oldsmobile 98) that says a lot because I'm not a fwd vehicle fan but these were very appealing when they came out i use to think the Regency 98 was a Cadillac because it was so classy in New Orleans we use to call the 88 & 98 the "short 88/98" or "baby 88/98" to distinguish them from the rwd 98 & 88 i had a 90 Delta 88 Royale in that same color i wish i could find a 88-90 Oldsmobile 98 Regency with a sunroof i found one in Mississippi a while back it was in excellent condition but it was priced at $8995 i can buy a 07-09 Mercedes Benz S550 for that price 😆

[@zerozero6265]

I had one of these but mine was a 1990.. dark grey with grey cloth interior.. top 3 fav car I've ever owned, I'd love to have another one.. I was the second owner, it belonged to an older neighbor of mine which he purchased brand new so I really saw how little he drove it.. he sold it to me for 500 bucks around 2006-07

[@bigrobby3]

My first car was 1990 Park Ave Electra an it was best car I ever had I put 100,000 miles on mine an it had 90 000 miles when I got it

[@chrisrogers8927]

Beautiful Buick, despite the barely noticeable little overspray it appears to have a quality repaint.

[@calvingolliday4660]

The Buick Park Ave was built in WENTZVILLE mo we built 528 units every 8 hour shift

[@markcovault6969]

I'd drive it I like older vehicles you can actually work.on em.if need to be qnd these cars are a.smooth nice ride

[@keepitthoro6768]

I lived the hood latches....they should still be using that method

[@haroldbeauchamp3770]

When the video first began I swear I was about to hear the words “Camera man here folks!!!!”

[@dontellgucci1117]

Used to go with a girl had a Bonneville of this year those interior roofs all hung but fixable. A friend cut his out and now you had fuzz and other stuff falling in your hair when you rode in it. Drive’em till the wheels fall off

[@pbscraze]

My Aunt Sudie (may she Rest In Peace) had a Park Avenue herself just like this one!

[@stevenbest1133]

Had an 89. Kick myself every day for trading it.

[@bigalsbikeandauto]

Love the abrupt ending

[@Matticus-mb6wl]

I have an 88 Lesabre that looks just like this car. I need to get the windows tinted like this one.

[@earljohnson6059]

Man, I want another one

[@deanjohnson9094]

Damn son you outta breath? You ok?

[@fishtracker101]

I'm noticing a few things on this beauty a bit different than the one I just got. 1989 Buick Electra Limited, are some of the parts on yours after market on the inside?

[@somebodysomeone8213]

Breathing got wild at 3:30...calm down, bro! You gonna fall out, nit-pickin' the car body

[@firebird890]

This was my girlfriend’s first car, only hers was a 1990 but identical, it had leather seats instead of the cloth, but same paint color and everything plenty of memories in that car, lol

[@conceptc4105]

My first car was a 90 Electra. Bought it for $1200 off a co-worker after i graduated high school. Said it sat for like 7 months but started straight up and off i went.When i got it it had about 90,000 miles.Drove all over Texas in that car and ran it up to i believe 150,000 miles. Lasted 4 years till the head gasket blew up

[@djhartbeatnofilter]

My father had one exactly like this even down to the tints lol I loved it as a kid it was so comfy I remember my dad having to pop the hood and tap the blower motor to make it work 🤣

[@dexterwilliamson3577]

I had an 86 Park Ave, giving to me by my parents as my first car, had 190k miles when they gave it to me they bought it new, I kept it til I got married and first child on the way at that time it had over 300k transmission problems but no engine problems what so ever

[@bryantstewart9144]

I wish I could find an 85 sky blue with a navy blue vinyl top with the cloth seats . Never ever see them around 😑

[@Slim1423]

Sometimes you can find these cars at auto auctions. I found a 91 Buick LeSabre Custom at a auto auction, and at a very good price too! Ebay and Craigslist may have them also.

[@joshmusgrove1389]

The magnet on the cam gear is gone I just fixed mine😎

[@javieroliveras344]

Beautiful!!!!!

[@bfry38]

One of my first cars I love that car

[@renatoparizzotto3936]

Ola.muito bonito. Belíssimo belíssimo ❤🇧🇷

[@retrochristmas7329]

Whoever buys it should name it Carmin.

[@kadriccannon526]

I had my 89 for ah few months they float but i would say i preferred the leather interior alot better

[@Jac2Mac]

Could you kindly replace the chime in this Buick Electra with a scary buzzer from a 1977-82 LeSabre?

[@blazeallan7636]

What’s the difference from this and the ‘89 LeSabre??

[@jasonharrison601]

I WAS ASKING MYSELF THE SAME QUESTION!

[@Matt-xr4it]

More features for the electra and a different roofline

[@lamontmcdaniels322]

Top in tha back

[@Slim1423]

Body style and interior style differences. I have a 91 buick LeSabre Custom. Same 3800 engine, but slightly different body style.

[@trr5291]

I'm guessing this car is already sold? If not let me know.

[@arsenakopyannnn]

This was my first car i purchesed in year 1995 i bought it for 3.200 i think same color baige leather inside too bad they dont make them anymore 80s 90s cars were the best in confort wise luxury qualety even best

[@jakeballard7999]

Need Whitewalls

[@FreshPS3gamer]

Same car as mine. I thought you stole my car lol . JK. I have a 1986 Buick Electra Park Ave. $200 at a junkyard. Common no spark, replace crank sensor and fire right up. 168,444.. Three years of great driving. Do anybody know how to make the 2 pin alternator into the 3 wire set up? I have the LG3 3800.. Thanks! Love the car

[@lamontmcdaniels322]

Did you ever fix it

[@FreshPS3gamer]

@Lamont McDaniels Nope. Car actually went to pic a part. I broke timing cover and couldn't find that exact one. Only one year that had the cover for ! I was heart broken 💔

[@lamontmcdaniels322]

بعت سيارتي 🚗 وبكيت عليها كثرا وحزنت عليها ومازلت حزين

[@Lianpe98]

Nice car. Why do those old american cars' headliners get sagging so often? (I hope I wrote that well, I'm still learning english)

[@longwalkshortpier]

it's foam backed cloth. The foam deteriorates over time and separates from the cloth. High humidity and driving with windows down aggravates the issue. I have replaced many GM headliners from this era. Several cloth retailers like Joann fabrics sell foam backed headliner fabric.

[@longwalkshortpier]

@unarmed blackman make sure you use heat resistant glue spray from 3M. Home Depot aisle has several versions and one with headliner specific. Otherwise hot weather will release right away.

[@adamsneidelmann8976]

Do you still have it

[@thetimedoctor8542]

Very nice how many miles

[@mikaelborhzka7627]

Frank DeCicco, who was underboss of Gambino Crime Family was killed by car bomb in a 1985 Buick Electra.

[@WHern-gs6im]

I guess Tony Soprano lived and now sells used Buicks. That breathing, oof madone!

Nice car in remarkable condition. They certainly don't make American cars to this standard any longer. I don't like the forward opening hood.

[@quintonwatson7130]

What's your asking price?

It for sale

Same seats as the 1991 Park Avenue

[@corywilhelm9768]

Nice car, but why would you not repair those somple things? Spending a couple bucks on the radio and antenna would bring A LOT more money. People see the con when you try to convince them that these are just "little" things. On an old car, the "little" things make the sale.

[@alvalowry428]

I wonder why the guy showed this car with so many things wrong with it

How much you selling it for?
