[bigshrimpin]

I'm pretty happy with the wagon already. I've driven about 1000 miles since I bought it. 400 Miles on a tank . . . .average MPG is 20.8 and 21.3 on the two tanks . . . driving 70 - 75 mostly hwy.

It's a 1995 with the LT1 motor 260hp with 335ft/lbs Torque. 151,400 Miles 0-60 in 7.8 seconds :)

V92 Tow Package
F40 Heavy Duty Susupension (Front and Rear)
G87 Level Control
GW9 2.93:1
G80 Limited Slip Diff
JA2, JA4 HD Brakes Front and Rear

It's never had a Trailer Hitch installed at least no signs of having one.

Just curious what does a 1995 Buick Roadmaster with 151,000 go for in 2008. Looks like a great cruiser... Looks great... Z

Too bad you couldn't have gotten it in green (metallic pea). For some reason, the name Griswold comes to mind...

Sure, its not a cool ride, but it is a good ride.

The 1995-96 LT-1 Chevy Caprice is still my favorite police car.......I haven't driven a Hemi Charger yet but I've sat in one and they don't have the room I need.

BS....Keep an eye on the cooling fan relay, that was the only problem I can remember with the LT-1 equiped cars, and that is not a problem as long as you are driving, just when you are sitting idling (like cops often do).

I was just teasin' BS. Congrats on the new ride...

Congratulations on the cruiser.

This vehicle with the tow package is rated to tow 5000lbs :)
The Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham with the exact same drive train is rated to tow 7000lbs.
I can't wait to test it out . . . just waiting for my new hitch to arrive. It's an amazingly smooth ride . . . and the power is awesome. The wagon has a few little leaks that I have to fix, but it's not bad for $2200 (including title, tax and registration fees).

We'll see . . . the limited slip diff works (I played around in the dirt). Not quite like having a locking diff with 4wd drive low, but it'll do.

The best part is that it cost $168 for the year to insure through AAA.

I think you did good. I did a search 500 miles from Panama city, fl and the low was $3000 & high was $8600. avg, $4500.
