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. |

GM warning 800,000 owners that their cars may need oil changes more frequently than they say
Fri, 05 Apr 2013The days of changing your engine oil every 3,000 miles are long gone thanks to most cars having automatic oil monitoring systems, but about 800,000 General Motors vehicles apparently have incorrect monitoring software that is leading to premature engine component wear. According to Autoweek, certain 2010-2012 Buick LaCrosse, Regal, Chevrolet Equinox and GMC Terrain models equipped with 2.4-liter four-cylinder engines could be going too long in between oil changes resulting in a higher-than-normal number of warranty claims for the engine's balance chain. The balance chain links the balance shaft to the crankshaft, and a worn one can produce higher noise levels.
As a fix, GM dealers will be reprogramming the software for the monitors in an effort to reduce the interval between oil changes, which varies based on driving habits and conditions. Through February 2015, the software update will be done at no cost to vehicle owners, but since this is not a recall, after that point, it will be up to the discretion of dealers as to whether or not they will charge for the service. What isn't immediately clear is whether GM plans on giving assistance to out-of-warranty customers who are experiencing engine issues from the worn chain.
2015 Buick Verano offered with six-speed manual after all
Mon, 09 Jun 2014Good news, boys and girls (well, at least those of you who still like shifting for yourselves). Buick got in touch with us to correct some information that it had mistakenly announced; namely, that the 2015 Verano will lose its optional six-speed manual transmission. Apparently, that announcement was incorrect, and the compact sedan will indeed continue to offer a manual option for 2015, despite what we're certain is a low take rate. Additionally, the Desert Dusk Metallic paint that was said to come as part of an Appearance Package is no longer part of the deal. With that out of the way, we now return you to your regularly scheduled automotive-obsessive broadcast...
Next-gen LaCrosse, Cascada convertible coming to Buick showrooms in 2016
Wed, 23 Jul 2014It's difficult to overstate how significant the post-bankruptcy years have been for General Motors' Buick brand. Arguably the most improved American automaker, Buick has rounded out its range with an excellent compact in the Verano, a well-balanced midsizer in the Regal and a segment-busting mini-CUV, with the Encore.
Seeking to keep that momentum going, the next several years will see the brand address a trio of its most obvious issues. First and foremost will be a replacement for the aging LaCrosse, a vehicle whose only bit of attention since its 2009 debut was a very light refresh in 2013.
According to Automotive News, we should expect the next-generation LaCrosse to arrive late next year or early in 2016, as a 2016 model. AN expects big design changes, as Buick attempts to further the LaCrosse from its popular platform-mate, the Chevrolet Impala. The changes won't be so radical, though, as to do away with its front-drive architecture, as the latest version of the Epsilon platform will underpin the next LaCrosse. The 3.6-liter V6 is likely to carry on, although a smaller, budget-minded offering is also extremely likely (we'll eat our hat if it's not the 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder from the Regal, Verano and Cadillac CTS et al.).
