1998 Buick Park Avenue Ultra with 140k. Sandstone in color with factory chromies. Only options it doesn't have are HUD and On*. Asking price is $3900 and over the phone they told me $3600 so I'm thinking if I walk up with $3500 (given the car is in road-worthy condition) it'* mine.
Looking at going on Friday night, but would need Gordy to trade his expertise (a.k.a. code scanner) in trade for the Lumbar seats -fair trade Gordy? It'* in St. Paul if you'd be interested in dragging the laptop with cable along (you can do OBDII can't you?)

you ditched the ssei to get an ultra???

Jeebus man! what about saving money for school? Or did the selling price of the SSEi cover that?

Sold the SSEi for a $3G over what I owed on it. As for school I'm not able to get in this semester since I didn't sign up until July and was placed like #8-12 on waiting list for all the classes I wanted to take. So I will be on the starter list for next sem. -Might still get in on a night class this sem depending on if 3 drop out so I can get in there.
Sold the SSEi because I couldn't afford to keep it and go to school. One week after I sold the SSEi I was called into the Supervisor'* office and I didn't know why -I've only been in there twice and both times were for interviews for other positions that I'd applied for -I hadn't applied for any lately so I was kinda worried. Turns out they have a new compensation plan at work, everyone is getting a raise, mine was a 20% increase in pay and everyone was getting a bonus check as a thank you for sticking around (they'd done a compensation survey of similar jobs in a local 5-state region and found they were way below average). My bonus is a few hundred dollars so I figure between what I'm getting now (work wages that will allow for a savings account rather than barely making it by), what my bonus is, what I have left from selling the SSEi, and the bonus, plus the insurance on the three cars I'm looking at (1996 SSEi, 1996 Riviera, and this 1998 Park Ultra -all under $4500) is about $100-130 less for 6 months than it was on the 1999 SSEi with a higher deductable. Plus, I'm thinking of letting Ashley take over Ol Blue since her Ford Aspire is kinda giving her problems and gets less mpg'* too (Aspire =22-24 mpg'* and Ol Blue =24-28 average without OD lockup which getting fixed Monday -so with OD lockup Ol Blue will get another 3-4 mpg'*).

Naw, you should sell that SLE to me. That would be the logical course of action. yea, that'* the ticket...

It'* only about to turn over to 210,000 miles -if I left right now I'd be well over 211,000 by the time I got to Florida. But, yeah, other than the OD lockup getting fixed all she needs is a new windshield and the passenger side air bag installed. Then everything mechanical and electrical will be 100% operable -kinda surprising, but true -definitely a reliable car she is.

Well, was kind of kidding, we'll see how my "Adventures in Body Work" go. Also, me and my dad fixed my car'* leaking door seals, but we have yet to clean the carpet. Been putting it off, so I'm *hopefully* gonna do that with him tomorrow. Hope the carpet is still saveable, looks to still be. We'll see. Wish me luck getting the thing back to 100%, or at least 90-95%
