Up for bid is an exceptionally nice 1996 Buick Roadmaster Estate Wagon with 73k two owner miles. Collector's Edition like every 96 Roadmaster. Clean Carfax with no accidents. No body rust, nice paint, and nice undercarriage - lifelong California car. Loaded up with power everything. Relatively rare factory wood delete (WB4) in Bright White. Boasting GM's Corvette inspired multiport injected 5.7L LT1 V8 engine and 4L60E 4 speed automatic transmission, she puts down plenty of power. Tow package with 2.93 open end (V03 & GW9 build codes). Trailer preparation "tow package" means the factory rated the car to pull 5000 lbs but these did not come from the factory with hitches so all hitches are aftermarket. Auto-leveling rear shocks still work properly. Delivers consistent 16 in town and 24 highway at 70 mph. Clean history - send me your email address and I'll send you the Carfax. Runs and drives superbly - drive anywhere. I did not detail this car - it's clearly clean and has been kept clean. It also features some details I don't normally find in these cars like really soft leather and rubber window channels are all perfect and not folded in, fake chrome trim on front bumper isn't flaking, and undercarriage is so nice it still has the original mufflers. Very nice in the details. NO RESERVE. Questions? Click "ask seller a question" or call Fred at 315-246-0612. Please allow time for a response as I work 8-5 at a regular job in Charleston. Car available for showing in Mt. Pleasant after 6:30 pm weekdays or any time weekends by appointment. Condition Report ENGINE: Runs on all eight cylinders without smoking, missing or knocking. Engine runs at proper temperature. Newer battery, good charging system. Starts easy and runs strong. TRANSMISSION: Performs beautifully. Engages gears quickly and shifts through all forward gears and reverse with good downshift and torque converter performance. Clean fluid with no burn odors. EXTERIOR: Body: Body is in very nice shape with no rust, no rust repair, no door dings - dead straight down the sides. Has a tiny dent on tailgate (probably from owner closing with hip.) Way above average for age. Paint: Paint is very nice. No scratches to note, but has two touch up spots - one on driver's door, one on tailgate. Above average. Other: Lower stainless bright trim is nice with no dings. The front bumper bright trim (which usually has at least a few parking lot dings) is near perfect - very slight ding on right front. Rubber side trim is all there. Windshield and all glass are good. Original Sungate windshield. Undercarriage is SPOTLESS - solid as you'd expect of California car - see the pics. Underhood sheet metal, tailgate sill and door jambs have no rust as seen in pics. Aluminum wheels are in great shape all around with no pitting or faded/peeling clearcoat. INTERIOR: Interior of the car is in very nice shape as you'd expect of low miles. The only complaint is some wear on the driver's carpet where the heel rubs when setting the parking brake. Remaining carpet is very nice. Dash has no cracks, seating areas are in great shape, cargo deck carpet in good shape. Headliner is nice - not sagging. Steering wheel is in nice shape. No smoke or pet odors - cigar lighter never used. Nice finer details like window/seat/mirror bezel and driver's door panel are very nice, on/off/res lettering still visible on cruise stalk, center console clean and still has cupholders/coin holder, etc. Very nice interior overall. ELECTRICAL STUFF: All inspection items work (lights, horn, wipers, etc.) ALL power options work reliably, including power windows, power locks, dual power seats, hot heat and cold A/C, tilt, cruise, am/fm stereo cassette, power antenna, rear window release, rear wiper, twilight sentinel, auto-levelling, intermittent wipers, and rear defroster. Newer A/C compressor and dryer. Auto-levelling shocks work properly and don't leak ( air compressor does not run when sitting.) DRIVEABILITY: Drives out just beautifully. Steering is tight, alignment is dead on, suspension is tight. Brakes work well with good linings all around. Tires have about 70% tread remaining front, 20% rear, on two matched pairs of good quality radials. Solid, quiet exhaust with no leaks.
