hi, folks. up for sale is an oldtimer's, old, Buick wagon. yes, I know it is old, I am too and I run almost as good as this car. showing just 64,800 miles, this is an unlikely CAR to see, but it is true... OK, I did not choose to shoot in the rain, but it actually worked out fine as the car needed a bath, anyway.
starts, stops, steers great. the motor is fine, smooth, quiet and even firing. idles a little high @ 900rpm, but I do not know how to adjust. this is a fuel injected 305 C.I. GM motor, and runs great. tranny shifts from park to drive with no drama, pulls out great and shifts through all the gears at the right time. fluids are good, oil clean, newer belts, no issues.
the battery has been replaced, but I am taking it to my mechanic tomorrow as we think it needs an alternator (AMP light on, although car drives fine...). there are no other lights on or issues.
motor and tranny fine. drives great; but... it is a big, older car and drives old school. a bit of over-steer, soft ride, does not corner at high speeds too well. cruising around town, or on the highway... actually safe, quiet and comfy; I like it. drifts a little to the right on occasion, tires are old and soft, brakes are excellent, a/c and heater does not blow (i'll check on it tomorrow), I am guessing bad blower motor or fuse, switch,. i'll make sure the car is OK for the drive home as far as the charging system, can only give you a heads up on the blower.
windows, p/steering, radio, gauges, odometer, light, horn, wipers, blinkers, speedometer, etc, all A-OK. no fluid leaks visible, belts, hoses, bracket, etc all good. the motor is fine, no knock, ticks or tocks, very smooth. all original interior, and showing some age, but all in all better than what you would look for in a car this age.
it has a sunroof of sorts, looks and feels like leather, alloy wheels, 2 keys and proper center caps. the body and paint are fine, but the body-side moldings, only the rubber strips, are loosing hold in some areas and the wood-grain trim molding is damaged on the left rear side in a small section. no dings, no dents, no broken bits except on rear tail lamp has some light cracking and my guess is simply due to age. this car has been around a long time and looks like it was never, ever crashed or hurt bad.
i'll post later regarding the alternator issue. I am happy to sort that out and will, of course, pay for repairs and will document work performed. please feel fre to bid and buy. call or email anytime, happy to help. thnx !!
the Buick is exactly as shown and at my home. feel free to come by, or have an inspection done locally.

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.

Opel Insignia OPC Sports Tourer shows its fresh face ahead of Frankfurt debut
Thu, 22 Aug 2013Drive down the Autobahn and there's any number of vehicles likely to pass you, and most of them are produced locally. But if you're wondering how that Opel left you in its dust, look closely (and quickly) enough and you might make out the letters OPC on the back.
They stand for Opel Performance Center (the German counterpart to Vauxhall's VXR line) and they adorn performance versions of the Corsa, Astra and Insignia. The latter is undergoing a bit of a refresh and is expected to debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show in a couple of weeks, but you don't have to wait that long as our intrepid spy photographers have caught it in the flesh outside an Opel facility in Germany.
Spied here completely undisguised in Sports Tourer (read: wagon) form, the Insignia has had a few nips and tucks performed, but we'll be more intrigued to see what it's got under the hood. The current model packs a 2.8-liter twin-turbo V6 driving 325 horsepower to all four wheels, but rumors suggest that the OPC (yeah you know me!) could have as much as 400 hp up its sleeve. That would make this one heck of a sleeper - especially in wagon form - and only make us pine for a more potent version of its twin Buick Regal to roam our highways, too.
Buick Envision cabin detailed ahead of reveal later this month
Sun, 17 Aug 2014Buick teased the arrival of the China-market Envision last month and gave us a few specs, now it's teasing the midsize crossover's interior and features. Having said it will "set a new benchmark in terms of space, safety, performance and specifications," we're told that equipment like the heated leather steering wheel and Bose-sourced active noise cancellation are market firsts in the segment.
Elsewhere, light will shine on occupants through the panoramic roof during the day and via ice blue ambient lighting at night, and seating surfaces are being shown off with dual-stitched leather. Lane departure warning and parking assist help keep the bodywork in order, stop/start ignition fitted to the 2.0-liter turbo four-cylinder with 256 horsepower and 260 pound-feet will help keep fuel economy up. One more convenience for the model's core buyers: a tailgate that can be partially opened.
The Normal, Tour, Sport and Off-Road driving modes come courtesy of FlexRide, that last one - meant for extra-light-duty dirt work, naturally - appearing on a Buick for the first time.
