What Owners are Saying About the 1996 Buick Roadmaster
"This car is in excellent condition I just went to"
"The car is an excellent condition inside and out only 1 owner. Next door neighbor bought it for 2200 and he just took the seat covers off of it so inside and out is immaculate no wear and tear on any of it or anything in the vehicle. Is it worth that price? Sincerely Nana"
"Great all-purpose vehicles-retro with LT1 engine"
"I bought this car to haul people (scouts) and tow up to 3500 lbs (scout trailer). It met all of my expectations and was loved by all the scouts that rode in it (especially the rear facing seat. Loaded, comfortable, and handles like a dream. Sounds great too with that Corvette motor. It was one terrific ride and great value. Add ons are a receiver hitch, airbags for the rear coils, Flowmaster exhaust, and tinted windows."
"A Real Tiger"
"I am a 63 year old male. I have had my 1996 Limited Sedan 18 months now and have had no problems. The car had 112,000 miles when I got it and now has a little over 117,000. I am retired and don't put a whole lot of miles on the car. I do though, at times, just go get in and take a drive just for the enjoyment of driving it. The car is well built, reliable, powerful, and comfort is a plus. Have had a lot of cars over the years but this is by far my FAVORITE. I did a lot of research before buying and the car has, so far, lived up to my every expectation. What a shame they went out of production."
