DASH LIGHTS WORK SOMETIMES, BUT GO IN AND OUT

GAS GAUGE IS MESSED UP-SOMETIMES WORKS, SOMETIMES DOES NOT

I reserve the right to take this listing down if I get an offer and I accept it.

I bought this car from a private seller about a year ago. I love this era and this model type, but I really wanted a convertible at the time, but I jumped in and bought this one. The interior is brown leather/ cloth and brown carpet. Radio is aftermarket (but does not fit very well and is loose in the hole). The mileage is approximately around the 70,000 miles mark. I have the original window sticker and other original booklet and documentation. V8, 350 engine, 2 barrel. When I bought it, the headliner was new but the seem split during the summer because I left it out in the sun when it was hot (I know, bad on me!) but I think it would be an easy fix. The interior is allegedly original by the guy I bought it from, but it does look a little too good to be original. Other folks have looked at it and suggested it has been redone. I have driven this thing to Nashville (from Alabama) and back in the winter, so it is a good driver. However, recently there was some smoking going on and it seemed there was some oil leaking. I had a mechanic look at it, and he said that there was a screw loose and oil was seeping through the seal. He tightened the screw and said I just needed to pressure wash off the excess oil and the smoking would stop. I haven't done that yet-I was afraid to put water near the engine parts. Overall, he gave me a clean bill of health on the engine. When I bought the car, it would take a minute to start it because you had to pump the gas twice and really feather it and give it time to idle first. My mechanic corrected that a lot by replacing the spring switch for the throttle. Still, as with any cars of this age and era, you have to feather the gas and "learn" how to start and get it going. The car has probably been repainted, according to the mechanic, due to overspray in the trunk. There are a couple of lines of rust-colored stain on the sides -where when it rains, the water comes out from under the top on that side where a small, quarter-inch size rust spot is right underneath the roof cover (see pics). I think it would be easy to buff it out. Any other questions just email me. I love the car, but its time to move on and find a convertible version. There are small flecks, dings, and rust spots as you would expect. Images should make them clear.

RESERVE IS SET at $4,500 because that is how much I still owe the bank. I had financed it for $6,000.

2013 Buick Verano Turbo vs. 2013 Acura ILX 2.4

Answering The $30,000 Entry-Level Luxury Question
Twenty years ago, a comparison between an entry-level Buick and Acura would have matched a Skylark against an Integra.

The unfair battle would have resulted in the compact American's defeat in nearly every measurable category, as the Japanese competitor was arguably at the height of its powers.

Buick Riviera Concept hits the floor in Shanghai

Sat, 20 Apr 2013

Here we have a concept in the true sense of the term. The Buick Riviera you see here - the name of which was last used in production back in 1999 - is said to preview Buick's future styling direction, which means we should expect to see more flowing body shapes to go along with new versions of the marque's classic waterfall grille design. Oh, and we don't believe there's a single porthole in sight.
Powered by Buick's so-called dual-mode wireless plug-in hybrid electric vehicle propulsion system (we'll stick with the W-PHEV acronym) that allows the car to be charged wirelessly just by driving atop a special charging mat on the ground, the car's powertrain is just as futuristic as its exterior shape.
Other high-tech bits include holographic projections on the windshield showing the driver what's around him, with input coming from 10 high-res cameras and 18 micro high-precision sensors. The car also sports 4G wireless connectivity so that its occupants are always connected.

2013 Buick Encore

Mon, 10 Dec 2012

City, 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.
