Hello Fellow Bonneville Owners
Posted: Wed Apr 27, 2016 3:39 am
Hello everyone!
A couple weeks ago I bought a 2000 Bonneville SSEi. It's got about 157,000 miles on it and I paid $3000 for it. I bought it from a former GM Master Tech who lives a couple miles from my home. He had gone through the car and done quite a bit of maintenance and repair work on it. It has new brakes all around, a new steering rack, and a few other recent fixes. I just put in a new downstream O2 sensor today. I still have to clean up the headlight lenses and replace the parking brake pedal mechanism. Other than that it's in fine shape and I've been driving it daily since I bought it.
It's a replacement for my previous daily driver, a '97 LeSabre Custom with over 200,000 miles on it. I've always been a Buick man. I like the soft ride and gentle handling typical of Buicks. I would have bought another LeSabre but this Bonneville was for sale close to me and I decided to try it out. Once I drove it with the supercharger and the crisp handling I was sold on it. Prior to the most recent one I've owned a couple of other LeSabres: a 1982, an 83, an 84, a 92, a 93, and a 96. I do a lot of driving so I put miles on the cars quickly.
I also own a couple other vehicles which I drive semi-regularly: a 2000 Chevy Blazer LS, a 1995 Chevy Suburban LT, and a 1993 GMC S-15 Sonoma SLE 2WD truck. As such, I've been quite active on the Blazer Forum and the S-10 Forum since they both have really knowledgeable and friendly people there.
I look forward to learning a lot about the world of Bonnevilles from all of you!
