So Long To A Century

Sold! $750

Today I just sold my 93' Buick Century, after almost 3 years with it I had to let it go. It is now some young girls first car hopefully she can get a few years out of it to. I was the 8th owner of the car and the 1st one not to live in NY, payed $1100. It had its quirks but for the most part reliable, and easy to maintain. Actually only put about 10,000 miles on it, and when it left the tag place it had 116,800 on the odometer.

And now with the extra cash I can use part of it to get a decent set of tires on my van. Also one less car to pay insurance on. It only took 3 days using craigslist only!

    @BLUERAD
    Well, I do LOVE my van. Its a big, comfortable conversion, the extra space in side and heavy duty tow hitch has came in handy many many times. I have a weird thing with Vans and Large Luxury Sedans.

    @Miles Prower
    Sounds like you got a good deal! At the time I only had $1200 to spend to get a Winter Beater/ secondary car. And at that price range there isn't much of a selection around here.

    @Allan

    It's a 1997 Dodge Ram 2500 Primetime Conversion van. It is a low Top Short Wheelbase model with a V6. It's reliable and super comfortable. Only downside is gas mileage isn't that great, with a decent set of tires and some sandbags it should be fine in the snow.

    Craigslist is definitely better then what some people may think. You can find just about everything you need there. Glad you found a buyer for your car and can now get new tires for your van.

    Hahaha, I enjoy stories like this. Makes me wonder of all the crazy shit a car like that has seen with so many owners.
