I bought a 1999 STS from some old folks off of Autotrader about 3 weeks ago. I've since grown to love the car. You know how when you get a new car theres things youl liked about the old one that the new one doesnt have? Not the case with my STS. My old Buick hasn't got a single thing on it better than the STS. Upgrades below:

Buick > STS
Concert Sound 2 with cassette> Bose with cassette cd and 6 disc changer
Dual Front Aurbags > Front and Side airbags
15 inch alloys > 16 inch chromes
176hp 225lb ft >300hp 295 Lb ft
No Onstar > Onstar
Floaty worthless suspension > CVRSS :)
Gutless exhaust note > sends chills
crappy headlight > awesome headlights
chirps tires, when its wet, sometimes > chirps tires shifting into second gear, dry weather, manual shift :)
no sunroof > sunroof

Im in love. MY mother and grandmother both have buicks. I've convinced my grandma to go Cadillac, but my mother refuses to give up her heads up display in her 99 Park Ave. Wierdo.

Pictures in the coming days, and it's true what I've read here, Once you Cadillac, You don't go back!

Thats a good website, I dont have the original window sticker, but based on the prices listed for options mine should have cost around 54000 paying 8700 for a car this nice is an awesome feeling. I mean, I paid less than a sixth of the original price. How cool is that? :)

I've been reading about putting the nav system fomr an 02 seville in a 98/99 one. I hope to one day add the nav system, since it looks really, really cool.

Yes, in the 1997-05 body style HUD was an option. I like the digital speed projection on the STS better myself, The HUD is difficult to see when the sun is very bright. The PA was the only Buick this feature was offered on. I think it was limited to the Bonneville, Grand Prix, Corvette, and PArk Avenue. I kind of wish the Sevilles had Night Vision though.

Here are the pictures as promised:

Photobucket is giving me grief with sizing, its starting to tick me off.
