1996 Buick Roadmaster Limited Collector's Edition Sedan 4-door 5.7l Fully Loaded on 2040-cars
Bolton, Massachusetts, United States
|
Up for sale is my almost showroom new 1996 Buick Roadmaster Limited Sedan with only 68,000 original miles. The car is the collectors edition as are all 1996 Roadmasters. The collectors edition badging is a 1996 only designation saluting the final year for the traditional full size, rear wheel drive, body on frame cars from General Motors. This car of course shared its underpinnings with the legendary Impala SS and Cadillac Fleetwoods of the same year. The engine is indeed the 350 cubic inch, 5.7 Liter LT1 motor found in the Impala SS, the Camaro Z28, and most importantly the Corvette. The motor makes 260 horse power and a whopping 335 foot pounds of torque, a torque figure that took the GT mustang until 2011 to surpass! The engine is mated to the 4 speed 4L60E automatic transmission which is also the same unit found in the Corvette. The rear axel is the indestructible GM 8.5 inch 10 bolt with highway and MPG friendly 2.56 gear ratio and a very rare factory posi-traction option (RPO code G80).
The car is all but immaculate, it really has to be seen to be believed, garaged since day one in the original owners home. I STILL HAVE THE ORIGINAL TITLE ISSUED IN 1995 when the car was sold brand new. I purchased the vehicle roughly 6 months ago with intentions of driving it year round. The car however is simply too nice to subject to the harsh winters in Massachusetts. I've had tons of these cars and it simply is the nicest one I've ever seen in person since I purchased my first in 2007. The interior is in as new condition. I mean there is not a tear in a seat or even any cracking. The seats are absolutely perfect which is impossible to find on heated leather. There is absolutely no sun fade anywhere, the dash, the trim, the paint or the bumpers. All of the grey plastic trim on the faux chrome exterior trim is perfectly intact, not faded or shrunk. Everything in the car works correctly including the CD player, all electrics, I've cold AC, automatic headlamps, the extremely rare factory trunk pull down, heated seats, and most importantly all windows function and none ever fall off their tracks. The car has almost every option available, and is in like new condition in the extremely desirable triple burgundy color combo, with incredibly low mileage at only 68k. Don't pass this one up as I really think it may be the cleanest interior and body of any Roadmaster for sale in the country. Call or Text anytime 978 875 0425 for questions or if you want to see the vehicle.

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.
GM to make most cars LTE hotspots for 2015
Mon, 25 Feb 2013General Motors isn't the first automaker to deliver in-car Internet access, but a proposed plan announced today could make the technology more widespread than any of its competitors have offered. By the 2015 model year, most Chevrolet, Buick, Cadillac and GMC products in the US and Canada will offer 4G LTE mobile broadband access. Initially, GM will just be pairing with AT&T to deliver this service, but additional carriers will be revealed in the future.
Current in-car Wi-Fi hot spots are limited to 3G, but GM says that 4G LTE is 10 times faster than 3G service and will allow for full Internet access, including streaming video for entertainment as well as services like real-time traffic updates and navigation driving directions. There is also no need for a paired smartphone with this new system, which should make it easier to use, and GM and AT&T will also be working together to develop new apps for customers.
Buyers can expect to start seeing 4G LTE in their cars starting next year, and GM is already planning to expand the service to other global markets as well. All of the information from GM's announcement is posted in a press release below.
38k GM eAssist hybrids recalled for circuit board, fire risk
Mon, 06 May 2013General Motors has issued a recall covering 38,197 2012 and 2013 model-year Chevy Malibu Eco, Buick LaCrosse and Regal sedans equipped with eAssist, and sold in the United States. The automaker will check the generator control module for proper operation. Only vehicles built before December 2012 are being recalled.
According to the automaker, a malfunctioning generator control module could slowly drain the battery, causing an indicator to light up in the dash. If that indicator is ignored, the driver may experience a stalling engine, and in some cases, "a burning or melting odor, smoke, and, in rare instances, a fire in the trunk."
GM says the issue is not with the eAssist battery pack; the smoke and fire comes from overheating of the control board. One trunk fire has been reported, but no injuries are known. Scroll down below for the official press release from GM.
