1989 Buick Reatta Sport Coup For Sale on 2040-cars
Morrisville, Vermont, United States
|
For Sale is my 1989 Buick Reatta Sport Coupe; these Buicks are rare and collectible now; this one was manufactured in November 1988 making it one of the early 1989 Models with the New Moon Roof Option for that year; Pop-up Headlights work perfectly; production numbers for 1988 was about 4,000 units and for 1989 about 7,000 units; Buyer responsible for pick-up and delivery; prefer pick-up before the end of June 2014 unless other arrangements are made; Rare black color exteriror with saddle colored interior; Car is fully equipped with Titlt Steering; Power Leather Seats; Cruise Control; Intermittant Wipers; Factory Fog Lights Electric Power Windows/Door Locks; Automatic Transmission; A/C; Stereo Radio with Cassette Player; Aluminum Alloy Rims with 4-Wheel Disc Brakes and ABS; 3.8 Litre V-6 Engine with 206K Miles (Engine runs very well and just had the Ignition Control Module replaced and a tune up); I have been told by several mechanics that GM's 3800 V-6 Engine is bullet proof and good for 400K miles; The car ran very strong from New York to Vermont, and cleared all the mountain passes with plenty of power and acceleration; selling extra car due to having to move this summer. Model Year 1989 introduced the factory Moonroof Option, and this Reatta has that option; the car could use a re-paint down the road as some of the clear coat is flaking, and some more cleaning inside, but all in all it is pretty straight and a good running car. A/C needs an R-12 Freon re-charge, but it still works fine and is just low on refrigerant (warning alert cautions about low refrigerant); I can have re-charged for buyer; the touchscreen system works, but ever so often if you hit a hard road bump, it will scroll and blank out; the PCM is fine and I have traced the problem to the ignition switch power relay; all the systems still work and a new ignition switch will probablly correct the problem. The driver's side door has two dents, and some scuffing on the door guards; it will need some body work to correct. Very comfortable car to drive and use. NADA suggest this car is worth about $3,800. This car has the rare black finish which looks really nice. I have had a lot of compliments about the car driving it around town for sure since it is so rare. For those of you who do not know, these Reattas are rare with very low production numbers and quite collectible now. They were hand painted and assembled by GM at the time; The car cost about $25K to $30K when new. Hate to see it go...Happy bidding! Any questions about conditionn just ask. |

GM recalls 51k Enclave, Traverse, Acadia crossovers over fuel gauge inaccuracy
Mon, 05 May 2014With all eyes fixed on General Motors in the wake of the ignition recall debacle, the auto giant has been carefully calling in a wide array of vehicles to fix anything and everything that could prove problematic. Just the other day it issued two separate recalls - one concerning the Cadillac SRX and another its heavy-duty pickups - and now it is issuing another.
This time the vehicles in question are the Buick Enclave, Chevy Traverse and GMC Acadia, three fullsize crossovers based on GM's Lambda platform. In an estimated 51,640 units manufactured between March 26 and August 15, 2013, the engine control module has been found to incorrectly display the level of fuel in the tank.
As a result, owners are being notified to bring their vehicles in to their local dealers to have the ECU reflashed to fix the problem. View the full details in the announcement below from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
Opel Insignia OPC getting facelift. Will the Buick Regal GS see it, too?
Tue, 07 Aug 2012We've seen spy shots of the base Opel Insignia wearing facelifted front and rear ends, and now it appears that the more potent OPC version will be benefitting from a nip/tuck, as well.
The front bumper has been redesigned, incorporating new air intakes - toned-down versions of the model's signature fangs - as well as a new grille. Out back, there will be minimal changes to the overall fascia, most likely stuff like slightly redesigned taillamps, and inside, these spy shots show a larger navigation/infotainment screen sitting atop the center console.
This is all well and good for the Insignia, but we're wondering how these changes will impact North America's Buick Regal GS. No, it may not share the same powertrain punch as the Euro-spec OPC, but visually, the cars are nearly identical. When questioned about possible changes for the GS, a Buick spokesperson told us that the automaker "can't comment" on any changes at this point. Even so, we wouldn't be surprised if some small changes come our way in the next year or so.
Buick asks design students 'What could a Buick sedan look like in 2030?'
Mon, 09 Jun 2014When you think of daring concept cars or emotional design-student projects, Buick probably isn't the first brand that comes to mind. It's not for lack of concepts; when General Motors ran down 11 concept-car highlights from Buick's 110-year history, three of them are from the past 15 years, with other experiments in that same timeframe like the Black Hawk, Centieme and Cielo left unmentioned.
But the company still thinks about them even if we don't. It ran a contest for students at Detroit's College for Creative Studies to create a Buick for the year 2030 that would incorporate future materials and transportation needs, and nanotechnology.
Best exterior design went to Sam Kenny for his Neo Classical Buick, Justin Salmon took honors for innovative material use, like having exposed algae on the bodyshell to generate energy, and Namsuk Lee nabbed best overall concept and best interior for his Buick Vision Sedan. You can read more about the design challenge and winners in the press release, and hear students talk about what went into the work in the video below.
