1992 Buick LaSabre at 150,000 Miles

Our old '92 Buick LaSabre reached a milestone over the weekend when it hit 150,000 miles. We have maintained a "log" of all expenses including the original cost when it was purchased on March 27, 1992 from Rolfsmeier Motors here in Seward. It's cost was $18,342. but Sales  and Property tax and the Registration Fee added another $1,467.35. After getting insurance and filling it with gas at just over $1.00/gal, we were ready to go. Within a few months we drove it back to Baltimore, MD for a Soil and Water Conservation Society Meeting, saw a baseball game in Camden Yards and visited Tim & Laura in Columbus, IN. During the 10 years that it was our "new" car (before we bought the '02 LaSabre) , we enjoyed many interesting trips. We drove it back to Columbus, IN 11 times during those 10 years, many times it was in conjunction with other travel. We drove to SWCS Annual Meetings in: Baltimore, MD; Ft Worth, TX; Norfolk, VA; Des Moines, IA; Keystone, CO; San Diago, CA; Biloxi, MS; and, St Louis, MO. We drove to the Valley in Texas 5 times. And, one of our best trips was in May of '93 when Tim and I drove nearly 4,000 miles in seeing 9 Major League Baseball games in US and Canada plus spending a day at Cooperstown, NY. Elaine and I visited other baseball parks with it as well as National Parks, Presidential Libraries, and other points of interest from coast to coast. It has held up very well having had little significant repair. I continue to have the oil changed every 3,000 miles and have never had to add any oil between changes. Just to look at us on this picture, I think I have changed more than the car but we have both done very well. Our good care may have had something to do with that.
