Here is a great car that is in excellent shape.It has had one recent professional repaint on a body that had NO rust or damage.The paint is slick and smooth- base coat/clear coat.The Buick spent most of it's life in a garage with a car cover on it and it shows.The interior is not faded anywhere nor are the plastic panels brittle in any way.The list of recent improvements is as follows.....New headliner with side panels,front and rear calipers,front and rear brakes including the rubber lines and rotors,130 amp alternater,timing chain kit,oil pan gasket,oil sending unit,water pump,all hoses and drive belt,driver's window motor,power antennae,factory rebuilt digital dash,transmission has been power flushed and a tranny cooler was installed,4 wheel alignment and recent tune-up including all filters,plugs and wires. THE CYLINDER HEADS WERE RECENTLY REMOVED--LAST MONTH-- AND A THREE ANGLE VALVE JOB WAS PERFORMED AT POWER-TECH MACHINE SHOP, ONE OF THE FINEST AROUND!!! THE HEADS WERE MILLED 20 THOUSANDTHS ,SO COMPRESSION WAS INCREASED FROM 8.5 FACTORY RATING TO 8.9 TO ONE----- THIS CAR IS REALLY POWERFULL.!!!!!!! ALL NEW SEALS AND FREEZE PLUGS.THE CYLINDER WALLS WERE WELL WITHIN SPECS, ALMOST NO WEAR AT ALL !!!!! I noticed a small anti-freeze leak around the intake when i fired it up for the spring so off with the heads!!! --- gasket deterioration. Now it runs better than it ever has. New front struts and rear load leveling air shocks.It has LEGAL 20% window tint all around.The man I purchased it from always used Mobile One synthetic oil in it and so have I.Now for the real goodies!!!!!!! It has Excalibur 20" wheels with LIKE NEW Toyo Pro XES4 - tires.size 225/35zr2090w-there is 90% tread remaining on them.This combo was over 2 grand. It rides really smooth and floats down the highway at 80 MPH with no problem at all.Shifts are smooth as silk and the legendary 3800 series 1 engine is quiet and powerfull. The sound system is VERY LOUD AND CLEAR,all professional equipment purchased and installed by a local stereo shop with no corners cut and all monster cables.Panasonic cq7413u CD player with remote and IPOD compatible-it's 50 watts X 4 by itself,with 2 Alpine 6x9-3 ways are in the rear package tray 2,Alpine 6& one half -two ways are hidden in the doors.Now for the real power-----a Kicker KX 350 x 2 amp is mounted on top of a Kicker boom box housing two Kicker 12" comp subs.The box carpet matches the trunk carpet---it looks great and sounds AWESOME!!!!!!! The clarity is amazing. The sound system was over 1.500 bucks.If you don"t like the 20's,I have a complete set of aluminum factory 16" Riviera wheels that came off a '95 and all the lug nuts--NO TIRES ON THESE WHEELS.So you have a choice in wheels.That's about all I can think of although I'm sure there are things I left out about the car.EVERYTHING WORKS as it should and the air conditioning will freeze you out. NO rattles,shakes or shimmies,air leaks nor anything else obsene.This is a wonderfull car that gets LOTS of attention everywhere I have taken it,even when you aren't shaking windows for three blocks with the stereo blasting .Gas mileage is over 32 on the highway and 26 plus in town.My reserve is well below the money tied up in the car,so bid with confidence.This would make a GREAT car for anyone.Feel free to call me @ 606-473-0320 if you have any questions,I'll be happy to answer them.My cell is 606-471-5283 but please try me at home first, I would be interested in a partial trade for a pre -1986 Celica or Supra GTS, automatic transmission only, hardtop in good condition. Not interested in convertibles. Buy something nice for yourself with that tax refund,this Riviera. It has been stored all winter and is ready for cruisin.Thanks for looking.

Buick celebrates 110 years by naming most significant model of each decade
Sun, 23 Jun 2013In May of 1903, Buick began work on its first vehicle, the 1904 Model B, the first example of which was sold to a doctor in Flint, Michigan. That first sale was appropriate since later on, Buick became known as a "doctor's car." The Model B is the first of 11 cars chosen by Buick to highlight each decade of the company's 110-year history.
The 1916 D-45 Touring with a six-cylinder engine was Buick's highest seller that year, and helped push overall sales past six figures for the first time, making Buick the top-selling automotive brand. In 1931, Series 50 got an eight-cylinder engine, which helped the company survive the Great Depression. The 1936 Century was the first Buick that could hit 100 miles per hour, the 1949 Roadmaster had a supporting role in Rain Man, the 1953 Skylark had Italian wire wheels and the owner's name engraved on its steering wheel.
Then we have the iconic 1963 Riviera, the V6-powered 1975 Regal, and in 1987, the legendary GNX. With a turbocharged, intercooled V6 pumping out 276-horsepower it could hit 60 mph in just 4.6 seconds. In 1999 Buick built the first car in China, the Century, and that country remains the brand's largest market.
Why Buick's Encore wasn't a Chevy
Wed, 31 Oct 2012Buick is taking a gamble with its 2013 Encore. General Motors' near-luxury brand has enjoyed great success attracting conquest buyers to its larger Enclave crossover, but it has never offered something quite like this small CUV.
Very early signs suggest that the gamble might be working. According to Mark Reuss, President of General Motors, the automaker expected about 1,500 initial orders from its dealers for the Encore, but it's tracking closer to 9,000 units. Alluding to the fact that historically, Buick has shared similar products with GM's other brands, Reuss says that Buick dealers are "thrilled to have an exclusive." The automaker already markets almost identical models in other markets as the Opel/Vauxhall Mokka and Chevrolet Trax, but The General's other brands won't offer a twin to the new baby Buick.
The new Encore is based on the Gamma architecture that underpins the Chevrolet Sonic, and it shares the economy car's available turbocharged 1.4-liter four-cylinder engine. With standard front-wheel drive and available all-wheel drive, GM says its Encore will be pitted against competitors like the BMW X1 and Audi Q3, both of which are much more expensive but also much more powerful.
GM announces 6 recalls covering nearly 720k cars
Wed, 23 Jul 2014General Motors has announced yet another sprawling recall campaign, with six separate elements covering 717,950 vehicles on US roads. At this point in 2014, it's starting to seem like there are more days with a GM recall than without. Perhaps most troubling about this latest volley, though, is that every vehicle is from the past few years, indicating that GM's quality woes may not be limited to pre-bankruptcy vehicles.
The largest element of this latest campaign covers 414,333 units, and includes the 2011 to 2012 Chevrolet Camaro, 2010 to 2012 Chevy Equinox, GMC Terrain and Cadillac SRX and the 2011 to 2012 Buick Regal and LaCrosse. Only vehicles with powered, height-adjustable seats are covered. In these particular cars and crossovers, the bolt that secures the height adjuster actuator may loosen of its own accord and in some cases fall out completely. If this happens, the seats will be able to move both up and down. GM claims the vehicles are safe to drive, provided drivers don't vertically adjust their seats. This particular issue has caused one crash and three injuries.
