I have a 1970 buick skylark custom for sale,original ac,power steering,power brakes.It has a very clean body with NO rust on the outer body panels!Just surface rust from being in primer for awhile.There is minor rust in the trunk floor and pass floor board.You can still see the original paint thru the primer.The front bumper had been hit at some point and has minor damage to the front pass fender and grill.I have a good fender I will sell to purchaser if wanted after auction.Front bumper is fixable.Bothe the front and rear bumpers would need rechroming.I was just going to paint them.It had a vinyl top that was removed because it had deteriorated.When I bought the car in 2008 it had no motor,so I had a 5.7 motor out of a 81 vette rebuilt and installed.It problebly has maybe 200 miles on it.It ran and drove great,I even had new duels and flowmasters installed.Well long story short,lost interest and have to much going on in life.The car has not been on the road since 2010.It runs and shifts into gears great.Idles a little ruff do to old gas.Mechanically good,I would bleed the brakes and maybe drain the old gas out of the tank.There is a small spot on the firewall that will need a patch panel behind the distributer.The alt needs different brackets and I do have a power steering pump that is not installed that will go with the car.The tires were bought new when I put the new motor in.Like I said might have a few hundred miles on them.Not dryrotted.The car has sat in a garage since I have owned it! The interior will need some help.Door panels are ruff,no head liner,front seat is white,looks like it came out of a cutlass.The previous owners messed up the metal behind the rear seat were the speakers go.For what reason I don't know.I do have a few extra parts that are included with the car like the front windshield trim,another grill(still has a little damage)and piece for the firewall(ac cover).Not much to do to get it on the road.Would make a nice GS clone!Please ask any questions that you have and I will do my best to answer it.I tried to list everything about car that I know of as honestly as possible.I do reserve the right to remove at any time due to being listed locally.Sold as is.Reserve is low so bid to win!Anyone with a e-bay score of 10 or less needs to contact me before bidding.Or your bid will be cancelled! Buyer will have to pay for shipping!Will assist in loading for transport.Car will need to be picked up within 7 days unless other arrangements are made with me.Thanks for your interst.

J.D. Power: Mini, Lexus again offer most satisfying sales experience

Thu, 29 Nov 2012

JD Power has released its annual Sales Satisfaction Index Study, and once again Mini and Lexus have taken top honors. Overall, buyers are more satisfied with the auto-buying sales experience than they were last year, with those surveyed reporting an average score of 664 points on a 1,000-point scale. That's up from 648 in 2011. Dealer satisfaction also increased by five points over last year as well.
All told, Lexus brought home an index score of 737, which was high enough to put it atop the luxury brands for the second year in a row. JD Power says Infiniti came in second in that category with a score of 728 and Cadillac rounded out the podium with it's rating of 725. Speaking of Infiniti, that brand saw the single largest jump in sales satisfaction of any brand on the survey, popping up 52 index points over 2011.
Among mass-market brands, Mini ranked highest with a score of 712, followed closely by Buick with 706 and GMC farther down the line with 683. You can check out the full press release below for more information.

Ford, Toyota clean up in Best Car For The Money Awards

Fri, 22 Feb 2013

The U.S. News Best Cars for the Money Awards picks winners by looking at the average transaction price, five-year total cost of ownership, the regard a car has from the automotive press, reliability figures from J.D. Power and Associates and safety data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The result, according to the magazine, is "the best combination of critical acclaim and long-term value."
Ford nabbed six of the 21 categories that received awards this year, the Focus, Fusion, Fusion Hybrid, Taurus, Escape and Edge getting trophies. Toyota and its Lexus and Scion sub-brands took another five, the Tacoma and Tundra owning the two categories given to pickup trucks. The other ten awards were split between Honda with three, Buick with two, and one each for Subaru, BMW, Hyundai, Chevrolet and Mazda.

Next Buick Regal coming in 2017, could be imported from Germany

Sun, 03 Aug 2014

The Buick Regal is based on the Opel/Vauxhall Insignia, a pair of sedans from General Motors' European and British outfits. In fact, over 46,000 Regals from model years 2010 and 2011 were screwed together on the same lines as the Insignia twins, before GM's Oshawa, Ontario factory took over production fully. Considering this closeness, rumors that claim the next-generation Regal - due for 2017 - could move back to Europe aren't terribly surprising. Here's why, according to Automotive News.
Oshawa is home to three other vehicles, aside from the Regal - the Chevrolet Camaro, Impala rental queen and the Cadillac XTS. We already know next-gen Camaro production is headed to Lansing, MI, and that the fleet-only Impala will (finally!) die in 2016. As for the XTS, as AN explains it, sales are so slow that GM will either kill it or just shuffle its production volume elsewhere.
Taken along with the fact that Unifor, the Canadian labor union repping workers at the Oshawa factory, claim GM hasn't made any guarantees about future production at the nearly 60-year-old factory, it seems fairly clear that the Regal's current factory is going to be put out to pasture.
