      This 1995 Buick Park Avenue has just 14,294 miles and has been owned by one careful individual.

      Featuring the Grand Touring package, it remains in immaculate condition.

      The original window sticker price of $32,549 equates to over $69,000 in today’s dollars.

      Encountering a true time capsule in the used car market is uncommon, but occasionally something intriguing comes up. Although this 1995 Buick Park Avenue may not be the most glamorous name among collectors, its mileage, which barely reaches the break-in threshold, makes it one of the cleanest examples we've encountered.

      With a price tag close to $10,000, it might not be a steal, but for anyone feeling nostalgic about the 1990s and seeking a relaxed cruiser, it presents a tempting option.

      Buick produced the first-generation Park Avenue from 1990 to 1996, selling over 400,000 units during that time. The name had been in use for years, first introduced in 1975 as an option package for the Electra 225 Limited, progressing to trim-level status in 1978 and ultimately becoming a standalone model.

      Large sedans like this are not as prevalent today, as most consumers prefer SUVs. Nonetheless, the appeal of a well-maintained Park Avenue like this one is undeniable.

      This Park Avenue, listed for sale on Craigslist near O’Fallon, Missouri, is equipped with the Grand Touring package and has only traveled 14,294 miles (23,003 km). Perhaps even more notable than its low mileage is that it has been owned by only one person and has been stored in a garage for most of its life, which helps to explain its excellent condition.

      The exterior features a dark metallic green paint that still gleams in the sunlight. It also retains the original chrome details on the grille, front and rear bumpers, and tailgate. The spare wheel’s placement on the rear might seem unusual, but it enhances the car's classic charm.

      The original window sticker reveals that the Grand Avenue was priced at $32,549, which, when adjusted for inflation, amounts to over $69,000 today. That was a significant investment back then, but the Buick boasted many luxury features, including wood trim throughout the interior and seats reminiscent of lounge chairs.
