WOW 18,000 miles LIKE NEW from the SOUTH. Beautiful RED and look at the CONDITION. How could anyone go wrong. Leave the WHITE WALLS showing. Papa 🐻 says you will NOT be disappointed.
" How could anyone go wrong" -------Allow me to enlighten you.
2003 with 18K miles means this:
The car was simply not driven which means all the mechanical moving parts (engine, trans, and forty more) have been in a coma.
Like a human, the parts designed to move have to routinely move on a consistent basis or they deteriorate - they don't awake and perform as new.
All the seals and gaskets have dried out because the car was not driven allowing proper lubrication of them.
How long has been gasoline been allowed to remain this car = long term is very bad = it will eventually crystalize and gum up everything.
It would be a better find if the car had 100K miles + it's a Buick which was a very well built car.
G.m. made millions of those 3.1 engines. Good motor
Bought a 2002 Century last year with only 45k original miles on it for $6,000 - these cars and the 3100 V6 engines are awesome. They aren't flashy and "cool" but they're bulletproof and reliable! I just swapped the original 21 year old spark plugs this weekend and it was a great feeling keeping this old car alive and running.
Big Al thinks this is the most “speciality” car you’ve had this year! Out of the wrapper new & mint!
Nooooooo, That Black Lincoln L stole my heart 🖤 but it’s no Red Cadillac Allante that you helped AAR and MonkeyPox Mike with! ❤
Bought my wife a 1997 Limited lasted 23 years
Awesome to hear that, I know all things come to an end, but what was the reason for getting rid of her?
Wow! It really looks like it just drove outta the showroom. Even the miniscule blemishes on this car are nothing. This car is gonna make someone really happy 🙂👍
I sure hope it goes to someone who has a garage and keep it that way 😅
Another beautiful car Tone and Papa Bear, keeping the American Dream of cars alive, especially in this day and age.
We are trying our best Paulie. Papa 🐻 & Anthony
@Paul Gozzo
All the cars you sell remind us all of much better times, believe me, the nostalgia and preservation are unbelievable in each car.
"My balls, my f---in balls"
hehehehe hehehehe
My late father was a Buick man! Had them ALL during his life. After Mom was gone, in his 80's bought this exact car in the limited trim- his last. These cars do drive forever!
I haven’t seen a Century as nice as this one in a loooooong time! Beauty!
Not since they were new! :-)
You haven't been looking
@@jamesgreen1337 I sure have, but nothing as clean as this!
I see them fairly clean every now and then but they ALWAYS have at lease some rust on the rocker panels.
I have one, looks like new, with 160K miles; purchased it 15 yrs. ago with 61k miles.
Always garaged, washed every week, waxed every six months, maintained to perfection = you take care of it, it will take care of you.
The cost, new, for the 2003 Century was ~$23K.
Literally one of the best cars I've owned in regards to comfort, reliability and ease of maintenance w/reasonable cost.
The ONLY problem with this 2003 @ 18K miles is that it was driven less then 1K miles a year.
NOT driving a car is a bad idea as the seals and gaskets dry out and the moving parts don't get their needed "exercise."
I remember these cars brand new. This was unofficial official car of Sanford Me in the late 90s early 2000s. I remember a silver 01 custom with a black presidential full canvas top brand new. Restored two. The early ones had chrome molding inserts and heavier moldings with chrome on the body side, emblems on the doors upper windows and decklid. FUN FACT the chief designer of this car was Wayne Kady who designed the 67, 71, 79, and 86 Eldorado, the 80 Seville personally as well others including the 92 Roadmaster sedan and THIS CAR.
I used to make business calls at Sprague Electric, Sanford, Me. in the early to mid -1970s.
Beautiful country, great company at time with first class people = wonderful memories.
@@mikejohn0088 Sanford isn’t what it used to be that’s for sure
Nothing is pal.......absolutely nothing = just be thankful we are not Somalia yet.
I saw an ‘05 last year at a Buick dealership In Michigan with under 3K miles the same color with chrome wheels. I saw it online Friday evening and when I called Monday morning they had sold it! The salesman I spoke to said they sold it for $8,900. I was soo mad! I found an ‘04 Limited a few months later here in Indiana with 26K for even less $$ and it is completely rust free which is impressive for Indiana and I will keep it that way as I won’t drive it in the winter months. It is the perfect second car for a traditional car lover. It rides almost as well as my Park Avenues I had years ago, actually better than the one that had the stiffer Gran Touring suspension.
That is a good find! I was watching and said Buick's Toyota Camry, and then you said it right after I said it. I laughed.It is great when you can find cars like this. Century was like LeSabre and Regal was like Park Avenue from that era. I thought the color used to be called neutral. You are telling the truth about cars in this video. This car is almost like new. This generation went back to how things were set up at Buick in the past with the Century/Regal lines on the same platform. That car is quiet, smooth and effortless. Thank you for sharing. I am looking for a 1991-1992 Oldsmobile Toronado non Trofeo model myself.
Hello Anthony & Papa Bear, you are certainly right about this beautiful Buick, it is a real time capsule & with such low mileage it's got a lot of life left in it!!! Thanks for sharing another exciting video!!! 👍👍🙂
Thank you Christopher. Papa 🐻 & Anthony
Anthony...wow man...this is a beautiful example of a low low mileage Buick Century ! I am seriously considering buying this because i am in the market for something like this. I think some Vouge Tires with the white and gold walls would pop phenomenally !
My dad had the 2000 pkg bought it back late 99.kept it till 2016 the rockers under the front doors are known for rusting out. That red was the only color available for the 2000 pkg for the first 6 mo then they started offering the beige Color. I like the red better.
The Transmission shifted hard out of first the whole time we owned it but my dad never did the Trans services
The 2000 didn't have the built it cup holders in the arm rest
This would look spectacular parked next to my red 2003 Buick Regal.
4 or 5 years ago, this car was seen alot in New Jersey. Nowadays, hardly seen so someone preserve this one for future.
Excellent everyday, reliable car, well worth the money. My dad had one and loved it, same color combo. They love to rust along the rockers, if not taken care of. Very nice riding car too.
Is there a way to spray the bottom to preserve it?
@@42luke93 Absolutely. I do mine with fluid film...there are other products but that works for me.
This really shows the better quality GM still had in the early 2000’s .
Please, my Chevy Bolt is just as reliable as this dinosaur! As long as it doesn’t go below 1/4 charge, or over 3/4 charge or parked within 100 yards of a structure when charging….
I haven’t seen a Buick century that clean probably since they were still selling them and I have a feeling I may never see one again that looks that good which kind of sucks for me because I really like that car life isn’t fair
Beautiful cream Puff Buick
You're right. There were loads of these on the road. Senior citizens loved these cars.
I believe voted #1 most likely to be driven through the side of a building. Second is the Mercury Marquis
Next to Oldsmobile, Buick was a favorite also. I've owned several and always found them a pleasure to drive. This Custom is beautiful and in incredible condition.
I am surprised that the last Oldsmobile's didn't offer the bench seats like the Century though. An Intrigue with that would look cool.
I had a 2003 Regal GS in silver with grey leather. Miss that car.
WOW ! Thats a gem ! Very dependable vehicles ! We still have a 2001 in the family going strong.
That's a beautiful Buick, still looking great even after 20 years since new. This could be considered the Raquel Welch of used cars! I just hope and pray that some inexperienced twenty-somethings do not get their hands on it and start doing crazy things to it (like putting on 22-inch rims or plopping some dummy chrome grille on the front). This car should be left as is! _(2/16/2023)_
The new owner should name it "Raquel" !
It already sold geese! I do not blame the market, just cannot pass up such a great find and this is something that can be used daily by one who believes in the beauty of this traditional midsized-sedan.
For the record it sold in under an hour from the release of this video.
a retired veteran bought it.
Seems similar to the last edition of the Lumina sedan. I had one for 5 years and was a great car, very silent and surprisingly economical. That Buick is a true time capsule. 👍
If I wasn’t out of the country until next month I would be very tempted to buy that just to have a car for convenience. My father was a lifelong Buick person and it would be a nice homage to him. It’s a beautiful example of a very well cared for 20-year old car. I love it.
You put the money in his account and I’m sure he will find a nice indoor spot to store it in the meanwhile.
Mid 90's Buicks were top class contenders .
Just recently bought one myself same year and model 89000 miles lady’s mom passed away. Was sitting ever since. Almost perfect condition
Such a beautiful car. My neighbors niece had same car in same colors. She was 90 years old when she died and the son got it and still has it.
Cream puff is paint is perfect. That one is nice and exceptionally clean.
Love this Century. You are so right. We don't need all the stuff on our cars that we have now. Just the basics. As far as gas mileage is concerned, I would think it would get about what my 2004 Grand Prix got - 30 to 32 on the highway, 19-20 around town. I think my overall average for the 5 years I had the GP was around 25 mpg.
Beautiful old car. Hopefully whoever buys it takes care of it.
I rode in one of these once, close to the age of this one. Although it drove well, I remember how cheap the doors sounded when they were closed, and the owner complained of the flimsy sun visors, supported by thin cardboard.
SFI does mean Sequential Fuel Injection, there’s both a cam and crankshaft sensor that lets the computer know when the intake valve is opening, it fires the port injector for that cylinder only at that time. Better economy, emissions, and horsepower. 3100 will run until you don’t want it anymore, then keep going for the next owner.
Oh em gee!!! This car is a GARNET GEM!! I was in search of a vehicle last year 2022. I thought I wanted a white 2020 Nissan Altima but I preferred an "older" person's car, WELL KEPT with LOW MILES & PERFECT PRICE. I found what I needed & prayed for in December 2022... she is an immaculate 2003 Buick Century Custom whom I call my "SILVER BELLE" & she had 20,607 miles when I drove off the lot!! She drives amazing & is so comfortable. She is everything I asked for & MORE!! The person who buys this car right here is going to be blessed 🙌 ...
That car is indeed a survivor! What a little gem! I have a '98 Buick Regal LS that shares the platform with the Century. The Regals all have the venerable 3800 V6, and mine has over 330k miles! The Regals have more standard equipment than the Centuries. The Regals are also all equipped with counsel shifters, and have steering wheel controls for the stereo. Although the chrome around the taillights is unique to the Centuries, but you can swap them to a Regal! Mine gave me 8 years of reliable and comfortable driving! She's definitely been a great car. I bought a super low mile '04 Buick Park Avenue, and am giving the Regal to my nephew. He's gonna be the 3rd generation of people in my family to drive it (I bought it from my parents)! I agree that the new cars have no soul, no real excitement!
Beautiful Beautiful Beautiful Beautiful!!!!
Rare to see whitewalls so it shows pride of ownership
I was startled when I saw the door open and the velour upholstery appeared! Wow!
Twenty years old baby! 😀👏🏼
About time we gets some Buicks. ❤
My Mom had the same year Malibu. It was rated 20 City/33 Highway and could do it. I went from Hartford to Boston a few times on 1/2 a tank of fuel.
I am not on FB so I am voting now.... YES to the White Walls!!!! Stunning! I get excited to see these one of a kind survivors too!
That car looks good in the shade. You’re not kidding about the burgundy. One of my favorite car colors.
I've owned a century, I my Cadillac and Lincoln. My point is I miss cars that float down the road
I guess you could say it's a one in a century find 😅
It’s very sharp that car is in such amazing condition it’s definitely been a old person car I like the video.
nice
The start up is nostalgic. Rare find. For me would need AWD. Thanks for showing.
Hi guys. Nice car. I know exactly what you mean by simple car. I just finished a lease on a 2020 with all the latest gadgets I never used and others I hated, like lane keep assist and adaptive cruise control. I now have a 2016 with just the right amount of tech but none of the nannies. I really enjoy the vids. Why don't you have Papa Bear review a car? Not knocking you Anthony, enjoy your content, just thought it would be fun. Unless of course he enjoys not being the front man like Jagger. Take care.
My Mom and our family had a 2000 Century and it was one of the most amazing cars we’ve ever owned.
Fun fact on those cars. The cruise control will let you set it at 100 mph + Don’t ask how I know this. 😅
I'm envious of being rust free. Here in North East, cars instantly become rust buckets after 6 or 7 years. Lol, try doing under car work in the driveway dealing with rust becomes a disabling, insane, frustrating incomplete job but yet, somehow & someway- 7 minute TH-cam videos convince me it is possible.
The color is refreshing. The white walls are the right choice for a touch of class. Miss seeing PB in the videos.
The lack of tail light badge is due to the early cars having twin badges on the rear quarter panels. I forget which year they made the change to the single badge on the light bar, but if I recall correctly the reason was to save cost.
2003-2005 had the badge on the tail light. They only had to use one instead of 2 and I think it looked better. The moldings on the ‘97-02 were pretty chunky. They did the same thing with the LeSabre and just removed them on the Park Avenue rear quarter but did add a chrome badge with the name over the license plate in ‘05.
Hi Anthony, hi Papa Bear, that's beautiful, it had to be grandma's car going to church and the grocery store, no miles, wow.
OMG, Anthony and Papa bear! The word creampuff understates this beauty! Like brand new! I swear Anthony, you are a human dowsing stick for incredible low mileage beauties! Love the color! Someone we will be getting a like new off the show room floor for $10,995! An absolute steal of a deal!
I actually just bought a 2002 one owner Buick century 2 days ago with 83,000 original miles. Beautiful condition. Beautiful interior and it gets better. I only got it for 2,800 bucks deal of a lifetime
Hi Anthony & PaPa Bear,
Sweet century, your comments about the back center lights is that that's a regal tail center light. The exact same bod .but the regals had a small difference in the front end of the car. But parts interchanged with one another. They also had a optional 3.8 engine from the 3.1 97 to its long run till 2005
It was one of GM's best midsized cars for its time. It will go over 300,000 easy. Just take care of it... God bless !!
No, the Regal light wasn’t trimmed in chrome
Hard to beat at 11k! I can't wait till I need a car!
My Accord just got stolen & I needed a car quick.
I found an 04 & test drove it at night in the rain.
The wipers literally fell apart instantly, I couldn't tell if the headlights were on, one tire was 2 sizes bigger than the other 3, the dash warning lights were all on, shocks were toast, breaks were warped, window switches all shot, stereo didn't work at all.
But it ran perect, shifted smooth, the A/C was great, clean no rust, clean leather interior.
A little TLC & some routine upkeep & now I love my old slow Buick.
Even drove nice with crap tires & shocks.
A very beautiful modern car! It is just perfect if you like the feel of a Boats with the bench seats and column shift, but need a Compact car for city use due to parking. Such a clean example and underrated car, I’m so Glad you got a hold of one! This is the kind of car I would buy if I needed one.
6:11 For Information on the Taillight, for the 2003 model GM removed the Century logo from the door (which used to be on the front driver and passenger of the late 1990’s to 2002 model years) and placed it on the rear tail light from 2003 up to the last model.
The white walls really make a difference. I like this kind of compact traditional sedan a lot!
I love that you price things so fair. most people would try to get twice that amount for this car.
a lot of people would take an interest in this car upon first glance, nice retro vibes
Yes totally!!! It was "Love" when I first saw my car in December 2022... i waited for my Silver Belle nearly 20 years!!
My wife had a Century Limited in a forest green metallic color (I forget what Buick called it). This was one of the best riding cars we’ve owned. It was so quiet and smooth riding. They just don’t make them like that anymore.
I am a bigger guy and there is one of the few smaller cars that a bigger guy doesn’t feel like he’s trying to squeeze into. You have a lot of room in the driver seat.
YAAAY!!!!!! FIRST!!!!!😛😛😛😛
We bought a 2004 Century new in May of that year. Had it 16 years with 188,000 miles. It always got 30 MPG, no more, no less, which is what the car was rated for. It finally rusted out so badly we had to replace it. Never had any major problems with it. Just routine maintenance. Anyone who buys this will be getting a good car. Hopefully it will continue to be used sparingly to keep it nice. It would be a shame to run it into the ground as you cannot find them anywhere, especially in this condition.
The engine in that thing is one of the best ever made by GM. It was developed by Buick and will last a long ling time. This generation Century was built very well and is very reliable. A high quality car that was consistently rated very high along with Lexus'. Anyone who buys this will be very happy. Not as happy as with a Caddilac Sedan DeVille d'Elegance, but still very happy. A very nice solid car. Deserves a garage btw.
I just inherited a 2003 Buick Century Custom. 21 year old car with only 48K miles! The last owner, a family member, neglected this fine car the past 3 years, most notably the interior, as it was trashed to the point that it needs complete new carpet, and he was a heavy smoker to boot. So far, I’ve spent about $2,000 just trying to bring back into normal condition. I think it’s worth it because of the low mileage. It will become my daily driver once it’s professionally cleaned, and a couple minor scrapes repaired on the lower passenger door panels.
This thing will get over 30MPG highway without breaking a sweat. Simple and reliable transportation. And looks great too I wouldn't mind owning this little car.
Did they have overdrive? I heard the prior generation didn’t.
Good job Anthony and Papa Bear! Nice ride
Wow. Really nice!
Fabulous car for a family or someone wanting a great reliable transport
Hi Anthony Hi Papa Bear, I can’t find anyone who can make good Italian food here in Sarasota. Not that foo foo crap, the food we got when my buddies grandma had us in the basement in her kitchen and I would roll out of there and attempt to walk home. Great Videos Thank You 🙏
@Paul Gozzo is Papa Bear 🐻, I bet he knows of a good Italian Restaurant
I think the light bar looks better without the Century insignia.
Looks really sharp with the white walls. Gives it just that touch of class to it
Wasn't Angelo Garepe driving a dark blue one of these, when Uncle Philly and his kid brother Billy whacked him.
Funny, I was born in Jackson MS but now live in Jackson WY. I love this car so much. The color and the condition, 10k is a steal.
You are amazing! I believe when real car will disappear having this works of art might be the ultimate sensation. Thanks for sharing Specialty Motors
Awesome learning tid bit about quality control dots...
Nice time capsule Anthony, WOW.
Gorgeous Gorgeous Gorgeous!!!
Very nice Buick Anthony it's worth all the money they are very reliable
i own a 2004 buick regal in this color. bigger engine, tires ,suspension, leather. got it with 75000 miles for 2500 hundred five years ago and just mantainance. i still admire the car when my wife drives it down the driveway.
I used to own one of these. Beautiful!
Beautiful car and one that will last another 20 years with proper care and maintenance.
Very nice looking car that's really dependable & economical. Thanks Anthony!
that is a wonderful Buick Century Anthony, I wish I was in the market for a car. I would buy it immediately. also hi to Papa Bear.anthony you are so funny saying if we find the detail spray in the trunk we could keep it as a bonus. you are truly one of the best people on earth 💯💯
Amazing Century! Here in Ontario , the ones left are mostly free of having rocker panels , just worn out. I hope someday u find a front drive Deville Concours, or a 1st gen Olds Aurora, or LSS 😊
That has got to be the cleanest, low mileage Buick Century in the country
Mine has just over 22,000 miles right now... 03' Buick Century Custom 🌸
Damn, I saw the picture and was hoping it was a Regal with leather interior.
My Grandfather has a Light Sand Drift Metallic Buick Century his is a 2000 model year has 101,000km on it. it’s been in my family since brand new
She's a beaut 😍 👍👌😁
Probably gets EXCELLENT MPG too!!! Very fair pricing for a near-new car. Will last for years if oiled right.
Great video! I agree with you, the good old days!
Unbelievable you shocked me with this one wht a amazing find 🙌🏽
