It is easy to dismiss cars from the 1990s as they don’t typically meet the classic mold. However, there are exceptions to every rule, as this 1992 Buick Regal Gran Sport Coupe demonstrates. It has seen thirty-two years of active service but remains remarkably well-preserved and unmolested. What helps it to stand out is its odometer reading of 22,700 genuine miles. That equates to a touch over 700 miles per year, suggesting nobody has gone out of their way to wear out this survivor. I must say a big thank you to Barn Finder Dennis H for spotting a survivor worthy of a closer look.

Buick’s Third Generation Regal hit showroom floors for the 1988 model year and remained in production until 1996. It marked a significant philosophical shift for the badge that had spawned legends like the Grand National and GNX because Buick abandoned a rear-wheel drive philosophy and embraced front-wheel drive technology. The latest offering was also physically smaller and lighter than its predecessor as Buick pursued improved fuel economy and efficiency. Buyers could choose from several versions, with this car’s first owner selecting the Gran Sport Coupe derivative. They clad its svelte exterior in conservative White paint, with the spotless 16″ alloy wheels adding to the car’s visual appeal. The seller’s photos are limited, but they reveal no evidence of significant defects in the panels and paint and no sign of rust problems. They admit the clearcoat is deteriorating, with minor scratches, but the Buick still presents well for its age. The plastic hasn’t suffered at the hands of the sun, and the glass is crystal clear.

Lifting this Regal’s hood reveals the company’s 3.8-liter V6, which produces 170hp and 220 ft/lbs of torque. A four-speed automatic transmission performs shifting duties, while the new owner receives power steering and ABS for improved safety. Interestingly, the Gran Sport features the same power and torque figures as Custom and Limited variants but is slower due to its slightly higher curb weight. It can still cover the ¼-mile in 17.2 seconds and wind its way to 131mph, but those aren’t its greatest strengths. This classic comes into its own in heavy city traffic, where the four-speed provides effortless driving in stop-start situations. Cruising at 70mph on the open road will return fuel consumption of around 23mpg, making the Regal an excellent long-distance tourer. The seller claims this classic has a genuine 22,700 miles showing on its odometer, but they don’t mention verifying evidence. Its overall condition makes the claim plausible on a classic that runs and drives perfectly.

Potential buyers preferring life in the lap of luxury will enjoy their time inside this Buick. It features leather trim, climate-controlled air conditioning, power windows, power locks, power mirrors, cruise control, a tilt wheel, and a premium AM/FM radio/cassette player. The seller states that everything works as it should, and the embedded video in their listing confirms that the stereo is extremely impressive for a car of this vintage. There is no wear on the upholstered surfaces or carpet and no evidence of abuse or stains. The dash and woodgrain trim are immaculate, and the overall condition further supports the seller’s mileage claim.

This 1992 Buick Regal Gran Sport Coupe is an impressive classic that the seller has listed here on Facebook Marketplace in Gordonville, Pennsylvania. They set their price at $7,200 for a low-mile survivor with no apparent needs. Their price is above the market average, but it isn’t unprecedented. Making a definitive call is almost impossible due to the uncertainty of the odometer reading. If that is confirmed beyond doubt, the price is fair. Even if that doesn’t happen, it certainly falls into the affordable category. Is that enough to tempt you to pursue this Buick further?
