Default 1999 Park Avenue
I want to know if it is worth it. We saw today a 1999 Park Avenue. It had 85k fully loaded. It is not an ultra. The only problem with it is a small wear spot in the leather. They are asking 7850. Is it worth it?

It'* a little high but they are only ASKING $7850. If you get it for about $1500 less and the car is in pristine condition (except for a$$ wear on the seat) then it sounds good to me. The ONLY thing that you might be a little concerned with is the Upper Intake Maifold (UIM) gasket in these cars. GM did make improvements to this gasket but I'm not sure if they did this starting in 1999. Others may know.
