Any used car this old and especially those cars with over 100,000 miles no matter what age will need ALL these parts and even more additional parts replaced. Remember those old vintage TV commercials for the famous Fram oil filter during the 1970's and 1980's -- a mechanic is wiping his hands clean with a rag while saying "you can either pay me now or you're gonna pay me a whole lot more later"? Then you see an engine coughing and seizing till it stops and breaks down. Look it up on UTUBE. Therefore, if you buy any used car and it doesn't have all these same new parts and even more different additional new parts that were replaced then the same thing will unfortunately happen to all of us.

If you have any questions, call 215-514-3787
If you find a better Buick, buy it.
