Buick Roadmaster (1994)
for sale

Price: US $3,950.00

Description:

I've reluctantly decided to part with my 1994 Buick Roadmaster Estate wagon. I have owned this car for the last 5 years, and literally taken it coast to coast. If you've never driven one, it is truly the master of roads. Nothing rides down the highway better than this car. I purchased it from the estate of a deceased WW2 veteran who bought it new or nearly new. I was told by his son he was a marine who participated in D-Day, and this was the last vehicle he ever owned. At the time it had around 70, 000 miles on it. I kept the military markings and decals he put on the car as I thought it was a neat story. For three years, the Roadmaster was my daily driver including several epic cross country road trips to car events, and the last few years I've done a few trips but used it very little. Her last big trip was in March to Amelia island Florida and back. I am very attached to this car, but just bought a new GMC truck and would really like to use the garage space for a sports car. Current mileage is 130, 300.
As you can see in the photos, the condition is fantastic. The outer wood trim has a few spots that have flaked off like all of them have, but the big wood strips are still in great shape sans one minor wrinkle in the tailgate and a few chips. Still looks great. The paint is all original except for the hood and upper fenders. I had them painted due to rock chips. There are a few chips in that paint from normal use now, along with normal little nicks and a few dings. Looks like a normal 2 year old car, not 20 years. The undercarriage is in very good shape. Some surface rust as you would expect but still very solid down there. The wheels are the Buick stock wheel size of 15. I didn't want to do anything crazy or mess up the fantastic ride of the car, but was never a fan of the original wheels. The interior in beautiful shape. Leather soft, good carpets, headliner and trim. I purchased tan Co-co mats (high dollar mats usually seen in vintage Italian and German cars) which do a good job of breaking up all the blue like the exterior wood trim. These mats were almost $300 on their own and look fantastic in person. It does have the fold flat third row seat.
Mechanically the car has always been kept up. It has never left me stranded, all repairs were from minor leaks or preventative. Parts replaced include: Radiator, Oil Cooler lines, AC compressor, Brake pads & rotors turned (about 5000 miles ago), Secondary battery post, main battery (2014), air filters, rear air shocks, transmission service (10, 000 miles ago). I thought the transmission was going out 10, 000 miles ago when it wouldn't kick down to first gear. Turned out to be a wiring issue. They serviced the transmission while they were in there (had been 30, 000 miles since the last time) and said it looked to be in great shape. In the time I've owned it all the fluids were changed at least once, including the rear differential which is a limited slip. You can hear the limited slip trying to lock when you back up and turn sharply like moving out of a tight stall, been the same way for 5 years and I was told this is normal. I always changed the engine oil every 3000-4000 miles. Absolutely everything works, including the ice cold AC right down to the fender mounted power antenna. The stereo is the original concert sound delco unit and sounds great.
$3950 is the price. The lowest price. . Yes no less. This is a very fair price considering its condition. If the odometer read half the miles the car would be worth quadruple what I'm asking, but why spend that much when you can buy this one and actually rack up the mileage, enjoying this car without guilt? I do not need to sell it. I was in the car business for years and know all the silly negotiating tactics... won't work. I will probably cry like a baby when you drive away with it. The only consolation will be filling the newly opened garage space with a Porsche or Corvette. I have always garaged the car and couldn't bear to let it sit outside and deteriorate. I hope you would be that kind of fastidious owner too. The history report may say multiple owners during my ownership because I had it titled in my business at one point. Now its titled in my name, open, clean and clear ready to sign over. Please feel free to contact me with any further questions. Phone is (316) 204-9433 if you'd prefer to discuss over the phone. Thanks for looking.
