1996 Buick Roadmaster Estate Wagon Collector's Edition-Very Nice Condition - Low Mileage 

One-family owned, beautiful condition 1996 Buick Roadmaster Estate Wagon Collector's Edition.  This is the last of the full-sized, rear wheel drive, station wagons, and Buick did it up right with the 1996 Collector Edition which is today highly regarded and becoming quite rare to find in nice condition with low mileage.  There is a lot of information online about this special car and all the features it has  – so I will touch on what I think are the important things for you to know.   

This vehicle has been well cared for, always garaged and recently serviced. Everything works (i.e.: AC, windows, original Concert Sound radio & power antenna, and power seats, ETC).  It is in excellent condition inside and out. The interior, including the leather seats, is just about perfect. The only exterior blemishes are a small dent in the hood (hard to photograph) and some minor “Di-noc” wood grain issues (see photos). The paint is shiny and new looking and there is absolutely no rust. All side moldings are in great shape and firmly attached. All chrome is very nice. The front and rear bumpers have minimal scratches in the paint. The doors have no (that I can see) parking lot dings. The undercarriage is clean with no rust. The vehicle has the Corvette LT 1, 5.7-liter engine with dual exhaust and gives excellent mileage (18 city-27 hwy).

The Roadmaster is fully loaded with all the Collector Edition factory options—from automatic driving lights, leather covered steering wheel, PosiTraction, power everything, down to the wire wheels. All tires are in excellent condition including the full size spare tire. This car drives great, is very quiet, has great power and acceleration, and is super comfortable.

With a trailer hitch, this car is rated to tow 7000lbs.  The Roadmaster has recently passed the Connecticut State Emission Test. 

You are welcome to inspect this Roadmaster or call to ask any questions. Please give me a call to arrange a time to view this car – you can also use the eBay Message System – I am usually quite prompt with replies.

The winning bidder will receive a clean Connecticut Title and Bill of Sale.  This car is for local pickup, or I can assist with loading onto a commercial car carrier.

Thanks,

Bob  (Phone 860-535-0242)

Note: The reserve price is very very low based what similar cars have sold for on eBay.  (Call I'll be glad to discuss it)

Buick Envision to go on sale in third quarter of 2015

Mon, 06 Oct 2014

Following 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.

Consumer Reports says infotainment systems 'growing first-year reliability plague'

Mon, 27 Oct 2014

The Consumer Reports Annual Auto Reliability Survey (right) is out, and the top two spots look much the same as last year's list with Lexus and Toyota in first and second place, respectively. However, there are some major shakeups for 2014, with Acura plunging eight spots from third in 2013 to 11th this year, and Mazda replaces it on the lowest step of the podium. Honda and Audi round out the top five. This year's list includes six Japanese brands in the top 10, two Europeans, one America and one Korean.
Acura isn't the only one taking a tumble, though. Infiniti is the biggest loser this year by dropping 14 spots to 20th place. Other big losses come from Mercedes-Benz with an 11-place fall to 24th, and GMC, which declines 10 positions to 19th.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, it's not traditional mechanical bugs hauling down these automaker's reliability scores. Instead, pesky problems with infotainment systems are taking a series toll on the rankings. According to Consumer Reports, complaints about "in-car electronics" were the most grumbled about element in new cars. Problem areas included things like unresponsive touchscreens, issues pairing phones and multi-use controllers that refused to work right.

GM SUV window switch recall urges owners to park vehicles outside

Thu, 07 Aug 2014

It's not unusual for there to be a lag between an automaker announcing a recall and the official documentation showing up on the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration website. So it's no surprise that a recent GM campaign took about a month to appear in its official capacity. However, there appears to be some big differences between the two reports with potential safety implications.
In late June, GM announced that it needed to recall 181,984 examples of the Chevrolet Trailblazer, Buick Rainier, GMC Envoy, Isuzu Ascender and Saab 9-7x from the 2005-2007 model years, plus the 2006 Chevy Trailblazer EXT and 2006 GMC Envoy XL. The new documents paint a slightly different picture with 184,611 needing repaired and different model years listed.
The reason for the fix is still the same, though. It's possible for fluid to contact the master power window switch module in the driver's door, which can corrode the part. Eventually this could cause a short circuit, leaving the buttons inoperable and potentially leading to a fire. But the new NHTSA documents add an important note: "A fire could occur even while the vehicle is not in use. As a precaution, owners are advised to park outside until the remedy has been made."
