1997 Buick Regal Gs - Driveable But Has Structural Rust Issues on 2040-cars
Homerville, Ohio, United States
|
Hello, I'm selling my 1997 Buick Regal GS, with supercharged 3800 engine. Up until this week, it has been my daily driver. It still looks pretty nice, but is very rusted underneath. The worst points are the pinch welds and rocker panels which are rotted out, and both rear strut towers are partially rusted through - the suspension is still in place and rides nice, but needs repair to be safe to drive. The rust is only visible in small spots around the rear fenderwells, otherwise the paint and body are in good shape, a few small dings and chips.
It runs and drives great, the transmission shifts smoothly, and starts every morning. It does have high mileage (174k) but you would never guess it by driving it. The interior is in excellent shape, all gray leather, seats look like they've hardly been used, headliner perfect. All electric features work correctly (with the exception of the horn and autodimming mirror) In fact I just put in a rear window regulator before I decided to sell it. The wheels are from a newer Buick, not perfect but decent shape. Tires and brakes are not new but have some life left. I've replaced quite a few parts underneath due to rust since I've owned it including: brake lines, fuel lines, fuel tank and filler neck, power steering lines, and muffler. Also done in the last 60k miles or so: all 4 struts and mounts, A/C condenser, plugs and wires, among many other minor repairs. I offer no guarantees on this vehicle, and drive at your own risk. I do not believe it is safe to drive without metal repair to the rear strut towers. |

Buick Envision to go on sale in third quarter of 2015
Mon, 06 Oct 2014Following an earlier concept and successive teasers, Buick revealed the new Envision crossover a little over a month ago. The thing is, it was launched in China, for China. The question, then, is whether it will make the jump to the North American market. And the answer is: quite possibly.
According to division sales chief Duncan Aldred in speaking to Edmunds, Buick is looking into the prospect of bringing the Envision to the US: "We can't confirm anything, but clearly it is a very nicely designed and executed product that is very much a Buick," said Aldred.
If and when the compact crossover would appear in US showrooms, it would slot in between the smaller Encore and the larger Enclave. It would likely be offered in front-wheel drive, all-wheel drive and mild hybrid configurations. Sources expect it to arrive in the third quarter of 2015 as a competitor to the likes of the Mercedes GLA, Lexus NX and Lincoln MKC.
2013 Buick Encore
Mon, 10 Dec 2012City, Slicker
We admit it. We have no earthly idea how this whole thing is going to shake out.
Typically, after driving a new car or truck, we come away prepared to hazard a guess as to whether said model has a good chance of being a sales success. We've amassed enough time watching the industry, scrutinizing the competitors, and so on, to make a reasonably educated bet. Yet here we are, days removed from driving the new 2013 Buick Encore, and we still have no bloody idea.
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.
