So, that truck turned out to be a bust. Found this yesterday. ‘01 Regal GS Joseph Abboud edition (lol). Supposedly it is 99% rust free. Has only 89k miles (this is confirmed, ran the check and it lines up) on the 3800 S/C. Besides not having heated seats, this is the otherwise the best Regal I’ve seen in a long while. Dude only wants $2900. I think it’s pretty damn nice. Thoughts? Only issue is the front seat being a little worn. That’s it.

My brother had a ‘98 GS. That said, CHECK THE VALVE COVER GASKETS.

Or, y’know, have a fire extinguisher handy.

My dad had an 2002 regal, I think LS (whatever the one without the supercharger). Didn’t really have any problems with it until the shop he took it to under filled the transmission and caused it to start slipping pretty bad. Well, I guess all the lights in the dash decided they didn’t want to light the instruments any more and the drivers seat was also pretty worn, after like 110k.

I say go for it: Oppo needs more Buick posts.

Lies. They all have rust above the rear wheels, and in the rockers.

That said, DO IT.

This trans will go twice before your Taurus’s will go once.

Supposedly the trannies eat themselves after 100k miles, I’d avoid at this point.

1.) Check the S/C bearings. Chances are the fluid has never been changed and the coupler/bearings could be fucked.

2.) People will hate on the trans. It ain’t too bad.

3.) Chances are the valve covers are leaking. Fix ‘em quick.

I think the valve covers have a reputation for leaking onto the hot exhaust

Yeah, rockers were trashed. Wheel arches were fine though. Made a post on it a second ago :(

This one wasn’t the one. A little too beat. However, if I find a clean one, you can bet I’ll pull the trigger.

Yeah lol. Basically just gets that gold two tone on the bottom and occasionally some hideous brown leather.

Dude the trans in ours lasted for 280k without any problems

Eh, trans is fine imo. It was trashed otherwise tho

Yeah, gotcha. Went to go check it out. Motor and trans were super solid, but the body was shot. It sucks.

That is true. However, my Taurus is doing the same currently sooooooo
