used car of the day 1995 buick roadmaster estate wagon

Wagons! Wood paneling! 1990s General Motors! This 1995 Buick Roadmaster Estate Wagon is all that and more.

This one has a 5.7-liter LT1 V8 under the hood and our seller says it runs well. There's a new battery, new exhaust, subwoofer, and custom head unit.

The mileage is high at 248K, but we're told the A/C blows cold.

Snow tires and extra parts are available.

Apparently the air-shock lines have a slow leak and the ABS and service engine soon lights are on, and that latter might be related to an EGR issue.

You can snag this ride in Ohio for $2,850. Click here to see more.

Tim Healey

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

If you were NOT looking for a Decrepit Hooptie of the Day and were disappointed that Tim misled you thinking he got a 'used car' instead, you could NOT have done better than this SCREAMING BARGAIN that would get you a 2012 piece of LEGENDARY AUTOMOTIVE GREATNESS (And I MEAN EVERY WORD), with only 30k or so well documented miles, always serviced at the dealership, which a lucky guy STOLE for $18,000 worthless Kamala $. You would be getting a practically new car FIT FOR A KING, not a penniless redneck. But don't listen to me, or the owner, listen to what OTHER OWNERS SAY:.......................... "Ugh. Someone is going to get this car at an astounding price. I have had 2 of these, 2007 (to 136K) and my current 2010 with 71K (just because I got an astounding deal on it). This generation has a nearly bulletproof leather (it is literally uncanny how new my seats look at 71K & 14 years old) it lasts longer than any other S class than I have seen, certainaly more robust than the W222 that I can tell. If this had Driver Assistance, I would bid. One of the very best sedans of any kind out there, incl Bentley Flying Spur. If you have not had an S-class, trust me, start with this one. If you have had one, well, you know."................................ https://carsandbids.com/auctions/K1yGYAeG/2012-mercedes-benz-s550

Andarris Here in the Toronto area I haven't seen a 2006-2012 with intact rocker pannels for over two years now. I presume everywhere around the Great Lakes is the same ? They were super cheap dhring the first two years of the pandemic - could get one with less than 85K for around $6500 certified or a little higher mileage for $5000. Glad I skipped it, even in 2021 some of the 10's &11's were displaying corosion like you'd see on a 7 year older Impala, Camry or Accord. Also the mid-model switch to EPS made me balk at the few clean ones I found.
Kjhkjlhkjhkljh kljhjkhjklhkjh I do not ever have delays. I only fly out of PDX or EUG to LAS or OAK and OGG then back .. have never been delayed in the last ?30-ish? trips to vegas/disneyland/maui/cruise ship vacations.... EUG has contract tsa so we never have any TSA delays. unsure which airports have PRIVATE contract TSA that is UNAFFECTED by the deadlock that i HOPE NEVER EVER END.
Big Al from Oz gidday mites how are yall feelin today? Want to have a barbie? We are right here gettin dee fire ready
Michael S6 The 3 Amigos better hope that the oil spike is short lived as 4-5 dollar a gallon gas would put a damper on their cash cows especially "Ford's strategic shift" of killing off the escape/Lincoln cousin. Most other automakers have a full line of vehicles with much better full economy. GM is sucking air and its Cadillac devision is mostly EV and geriatric line up of ICE cars and SUV's that were supposed to be phased out this year. The expensive gas may push shoppers toward EV but GM's horrible EV reliability is a barrier.
Tane94 I read the GM press release about first quarter sales 2026 vs 2025 and Buick is getting its butt kicked:Buick Total* 41,654 61,822 -32.6 The future is bleak for Buick.
