The man who owned this car from new was a Judge in Detroit Michigan. I bought the car in 2014 to use the engine and trans in a Malibu I was going to build. Long story short, I needed open heart surgery in 2015 and the dye they used damaged my kidneys so now I am on dialyses 3 days a week so have given up on my youthful dreams! (I will 75 years old in March)I have never seen it on a lift but he had receipts for the left side brake line replaced in 2009 along with brake fluid flushed. Brake booster asm replaced in 2013. Ceramic brake pads in the front in 2014, new radiator hoses and cooling system flushed in 2014, I think the car has been maintained well. I don't know of any rust issues. His wife died and her car was new. He just didn't want to part with the Buick but he didn't need it and I talked him into selling it. He said they moved to Florida in 2002 and while in Michigan it was garage kept. I drive it around every two weeks or so to keep everything working and lubricated. I hope this information helps you.
