New to Forum
I have a 1996 station wagon that my parents bought new (gold color/gold interior). 33k original miles, with ~13k of that while being pulled behind a motor home. My step-mother couldn't drive anymore, so I flew to Indiana last year and drove it back to Atlanta area. Other than a little "power shortage" through the mountains, it did great. Always been garaged and obviously not driven much. Beautiful condition. I am using it for my daily driver (less than 4 miles round trip/day). It still has the tow bar attachments on the front and I have the front bra.
My only issue is a left rear power window that quit working from either switch - will be checking electric connectors soon. Anyway, I look forward to participating in the forum. Thanks. Roy |
Welcome, remember vote early and vote often. Oops I meant post often.
Welcome! |
Welcome!
You'll want to get that oil changed if you haven't already. And use 10-W30 going forward unless your winters dictate otherwise. |
Welcome to the forum, indeed. If you ever decide to sell the wagon, post it here. I'm sure it would sell.
|
Thanks for the welcome. I changed the oil and checked all hoses and belts, fluids and tires before leaving Indiana (and changed it again in December). My Stepmother had the oil changed every 6 months, even when there was only 300-500 miles since the last change!
Loose connector on the window switch - everything working now. Car is garaged when not driven - sure doesn't take as much space as the '66 Buick. I will probably have to sell it within a year - retiring and downsizing from a 4 to probably a 2 car garage. But, enjoying driving it now. |
Sounds like you should name the car "goldmine"! Enjoy many happy miles with it! Even with less-than enthusiastic upkeep, 200k miles is easily reached with these cars. Enjoy! and welcome!

'66 Buick what?
I call dibs! |
1966 Buick Riviera GS, black with dove (off-white) interior. I have owned the car for 46 years.

Must be pretty if you've kept it that long.
I'm a sucker for a 3rd gen with that rear window. The overall shape and contours of that car so beautifully unique. Haven't seen one in 20 years. |
