What year is the car? Based on the limited information, it sounds like a 1978-1979.
The before black section of this board can supply more information on these years.
Best of memory, HP was 180+/- and used a blow-thru-carb system.
Most or many will suggest that you get a 1986-1987 car. They are easier to make faster and parts are more available.
Just my 2 cents.

1982 Regal

That's a sharp looking car and fully loaded too. I like the cornering lamps and the two-tone paint. I'd say if it's clean inside and under the hood and everything functions properly, toss him an offer.

Nice piece of Buick history.

That looks like a nice car, not a cherry but also not a POS. If you are expecting to go fast than this car will be a disappointment. The carb turbos are faster than a V-8 but are much slower than a hot air or IC turbo. When he says rust make sure it is not massive like the floor pan,trunk, A-pillar,1/4 wheelhouse and roofrails. A little rust in the doors are okay as these can be replaced rather easily. The bad part is carb turbo parts are hard to find, make sure it is 100% complete. You might want to check here http://www.turbobuick.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=11 as the real experts on this car post in this forum. If it was me I dont think I would pay more than $2000 for it assuming it is as clean as the seller says.
