1990 Buick Reatta Base Coupe 2-door 3.8l on 2040-cars
Roslindale, Massachusetts, United States
|
I drove this registered in NH till July of this year. Parked it and bought another driver as this car is loud and needs work. Replaced the muffler with a shiny cheap muffler that does very little to quiet the car. It has a number of issues and that's why it is selling cheap. So the bad: Needs e brake cable. Needs new muffler, needs new vent window and mirror passenger (tore this and mirror off. And a variety of small things such as radio which works but volume jumps up and down, maybe a new window motor passenger (not sure, but it was at least slow last time I used it). The idle runs high sometimes. The abs light has and is always on but haven't noticed any changes in the brakes. Needs a new wiper arm on passenger, the old one bent. The car was registered in NH and there they don't title, but may need some efforts to get a copy of recent registration (have the plate number). I believe you can request a title or register using recent July records.
The good: Engine runs good. Trans shifts fine. New front calipers, rotors and brakes approx one year ago. New calipers and brakes rear approx one year ago. New fan motor. 4 new tires, bought them about 1k ago for $500.00. The undercarriage is in beautiful shape, for some reason the dipped these cars in untra rust proofing. The interior is in average condition, no major problems. This could last you another unknown number of miles should you want to put in to it a bit of sweat equity and own a classic car. I can't see this car becoming less valuable it is one of few cars in the 90's that have 2 seats, style and collector value. I still have my 90 convertible and that is creeping up in value. Or use it for parts for your own Reatta, the windshield alone are selling for $6-$700.00 online. |

What's in a trademark? Sometimes, the next iconic car name
Thu, 07 Aug 2014
The United States Patent and Trademark Office is a treasure trove for auto enthusiasts, especially those who double as conspiracy theorists.
Why has Toyota applied to trademark "Supra," the name of one of its legendary sports cars, even though it hasn't sold one in the United States in 16 years? Why would General Motors continue to register "Chevelle" long after one of the most famous American muscle cars hit the end of the road? And what could Chrysler possibly do with the rights to "313," the area code for Detroit?
Restyled 2014 Buick Regal adds AWD, Regal GS loses power
Tue, 26 Mar 2013Although the current Buick Regal hasn't even been on the market for very long, General Motors is using the New York Auto Show to unveil an updated version of the sedan in a similar fashion to what we saw yesterday with the 2014 LaCrosse. Like the LaCrosse, all 2014 Regal models will be getting a new look both for the exterior and interior design, but the big news takes place under the sedan's skin.
Except for the base Regal eAssist, the Regal Turbo and Regal GS will both be adding the benefit of all-wheel drive, but there is no word as to how much weight this system will add to each car's curb weight. The Regal Turbo's 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder has received a decent bump in output from 220 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque to 259 hp and 295 lb-ft; unfortunately, these same figures are carried over to the Regal GS, which means that car drops from 270 hp. Both turbocharged models (Regal Turbo and Regal GS) will now be offered with all-wheel drive and the ability of sending more than 90 percent of the engine's torque to the rear wheels.
In terms of styling, the 2014 Regal gets similar styling changes found on the updated Enclave and LaCrosse, including reworked fascias, scalloped headlights and a full-width chrome strip spanning between the new LED taillights. Inside, key changes were made to the Regal's cabin technology, such as the instrument gauge cluster and infotainment system. On the Regal and Regal Turbo, a new 4.2-inch color display is available for drivers to see information for the vehicle, navigation and audio systems, but the Regal GS' cabin is slightly different with an eight-inch configurable gauge display. One of the best changes may be the overall reduction in buttons on the center stack, creating a cleaner-looking and easier-to-use cabin.
2014 Chevy Malibu, Buick LaCrosse recalled over brake mix-up
Thu, 08 May 2014The recall madness over at General Motors isn't letting up anytime soon, as evidenced by this latest call-back of 8,208 Chevrolet Malibu and Buick LaCrosse sedans. For those keeping track, this is the fifth recall that GM has announced in the past two weeks, not to mention the massive ignition-switch issue from earlier this year.
GM issued a statement saying these sedans are being recalled due to "possible reduced braking performance," according to Automotive News. The problem? Rear brake rotors may have accidentally been installed in the front brake assembly. And since both cars use more robust braking systems up front than out back, braking power could be reduced, increasing the risk of a crash.
Automotive News reports that, of the over 8,000 cars being recalled, about 1,700 are currently in the hands of customers, while the others are still in dealer inventory. GM is unaware of any crashes or injuries related to this problem. All of the affected vehicles are from the 2014 model year.
