Howell, New Jersey, United States
You are bidding on a 84 Buick Grand National. It has been modified for the NBC TV show "life". It has 87 interior and engine. A/C was removed for more power. There is no docments showing this car is the show car but if you watched the show this car is it from bumper to bumper inside and out. Even sounds exactly like it. When I saw this car up for auction I knew the car and the TV show, I knew exactly where the police lights would have been mounted and asked owner to look for holes, wires etc and sure enough they were there. When I got the car I verified the mounting holes were there and even found the strobe lights were left in the parking light bezels. Interior is in nice shape. Overall car is real nice and clean needing just little odds and ends. Also needs rear bumper fillers the following was replaced previously,all engine gaskets, seals. Car is dry with no leaks from engine or underneath. Speedometer inop and shows 17874 so had to be rolled atleast once. The undercarriage is real nice and super clean. No rust whats so ever underneath or anywhere on car. Paint has a lot of cracks and scratches but overall still shines real nice. Body is straight as a arrow not one ding on it. mods are as follows: - Brand new front and rear shocks -all motor mounts replaced -Detroit lockers on differential -headers -flowmaster exhaust system -upgraded turbo kit -larger intercooler and hoses -torque converter -B&M quicksilver shifter -AFM module -boost control -heavy duty U joint and drive shaft Walbro 255 LPH I got this car 3 months ago. I was so happy to have gotten it since I was a huge fan of the show and loved this car from the show. when I got it, car ran rough due to aftermarket plugs and wires they had on it so replaced wires and plugs back to factory and now runs nice. Shifts on the dime. Cleaned up real nice with a nice deep shine. pervious owner replaced stock radio with aftermarket. I replaced hood pistons cause hood wouldn't stay open. really don't want to sell it. I was so happy to have gotten it but upon getting it my marriage went bad real fast so have to sell it only because I took a personal loan to but the car and cant afford all these payments on my own. This is the only reason I am letting it go. Tittle is clean Car is sold as is. I reserve the right to cancel at any point due to Car also being sold in local papers Really don't want to let it go. It was a chance to own TV history now its your chance!

2014 Buick LaCrosse
Wed, 24 Jul 2013A Nice, New Buick Aims For Middle Of The Road
Any time someone describes some portion of a car or a driving experience as being "nice," I want to either A) throttle them or B) run as fast and as far as I can from that vehicle. "Nice" is among the most insidious words in the English language - at best it's vague, and at worst, it conveys the exact opposite of its literal meaning. Yet it seems to be used with damnable frequency when it comes to verbally illustrating vehicles. "It looks really nice," or "These seats feel nice," or, heaven forefend, "It's got a nice ride," are all windy signifiers of absolutely nothing resembling a concrete opinion. "Nice" is the adjectival equivalent of meekly smiling and nodding your head.
Of course, I'm as guilty as the next person of having thrown English's least powerful descriptor around. There's even a chance that, rant aside, you'll catch me making nice in reviews to come. That's fine, but you should know that when you stumble upon such usage, past or future, that you've found a sentence in which I'm simply applying a bare minimum of effort to the task.
GM recalling 2013 Buick LaCrosse, Cadillac SRX over transmission software
Thu, 21 Mar 2013The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued recalls for the 2013 Buick LaCrosse and 2013 Cadillac SRX due to a problem with the software for the transmission controller. On about 27,000 SRX and LaCrosse models, the transmission could accidentally be shifted to Sport mode, which would reduce the amount of engine braking drivers experience.
NHTSA says this could increase the risk of a crash, but, fortunately, the required fix is simply an update to the software.
While we're on the subject of General Motors vehicle recalls, a small number (48) of compressed natural gas versions of the 2011 Chevrolet Express are also being recalled for a potential risk of fire or explosion. Yikes. Both official recall notices are posted below.
2015 Buick Verano gets styling tweak, loses 6-speed manual
Fri, 06 Jun 2014Well, all good things must come to an end. For 2015, the Buick Verano's experiment with a manual transmission will cease, as the American manufacturer has announced it will discontinue the 6MT in the turbocharged version of its compact sedan. According to Buick, the take rate on the Verano Turbo 6MT was (unsurprisingly) low, leading to its discontinuation.
That's not the only bit of news for the Verano, though. After a few years on the market, Buick has seen fit to refresh the popular sedan. The visual changes aren't huge, really, with subtle tweaks to the headlights and taillights. We'd bargain that the average passer-by wouldn't notice a difference between the two.
The main aesthetic change is a new appearance package, available on the mid-range Convenience and Leather option groups. Unimaginatively called just that - Appearance Package - it offers up a new paint color, Desert Dusk Metallic, as well as a grille treatment and a rear spoiler. The new package is, however, limited to naturally aspirated models.
