| Hello my name is Dan and I own (2) 96 Buick road master wagons. The first one is a dark cherry wood grain delete. We bought it new and it is now almost kissing 300,000 miles! My son now drives it for school and work. My daughter drove it for 2 years and then bought her own (talk about that one in a minute) My wife was the primary driver for over 10 years but @ 160K she needed something she could drive downtown Chicago and find parking! I drove it from 160 to 200K then I turned it over to the kid's. The car does need some things but over all still runs real good for a car of it's age and mileage. The second wagon is also a 96 and my daughter and I own that one together. That car was saved from the "cash for clunkers" program that was to rid the world of all those nasty gas guzzling monsters and stimulate the economy (yea right). Anyway that one is a fully loaded wagon and has everything "except" the trailer tow package. Very nice car (160K when bought) that needed a little love and now she has been enjoying it at school for the last three years. Nice to be here looking forward to talking to you folks Take care Dan | |

We are trying hard to hold on to this one. Old man rust is killing this one pretty bad. (My daughter drives the other in New Mexico so the rust has slowed WAAYY down) But it still rides and drives pretty good. | |
