1998 Buick Century Limited Sedan 4-door 3.1l on 2040-cars
Memphis, Tennessee, United States
********PLEASE NOTE THAT I WILL NOT ACCEPT PAYMENT VIA PAYPAL UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE******** Up for sale is a ONE OWNER (me) 1998 Buick Century Limited. That’s
right, my name and address are the only ones that have ever graced the title of
this car. It is finished in beautiful Jasper Green Metallic paint with sumptuous
Taupe Leather interior. It has Only 47,772 original miles. You
are reading that correctly – this car is a time warp that you do not see very
often. I checked off the options sheet when I ordered my Buick with
the: Popular Option Package; Premium Option Package; Body Side Stripes; Carpet
Savers in front and rear; Electrochromic rearview mirror; Heated Body Color Exterior
Mirrors; Cruise Control, Rear Window integrated Antenna; the Premium sound
system; Jasper Green Metallic Paint, and Taupe Leather. These option packages
entailed many niceties such as dual electronic climate control, dual power
seats, cruise control, high-end Concert Sound II stereo system with CD player, a
Tape player, and steering wheel controls as well. In addition it has anti-lock
brakes, dual airbags, 4 wheel disc brakes, aluminum alloy wheels, automatic
headlights and dimming interior courtesy lights. My Buick has been thoroughly
maintained throughout its entire life. Recently I serviced the car with a brand
new battery, new starter, new water pump, new front & rear brakes, and the fluids
were replaced as well. It runs great, idles superbly smooth, passes inspection,
and sips gas. I have both keys, both keyless entry fobs, and even the valet key
still. My Buick has been garaged for all but 2 of its 16 year life
span, and it has never seen snow. The car has never been smoked in, I can count
on one hand how many times the back seat has had a passenger, and the trunk has
never seen anything but a rolling bag. Why am I selling it? Because my wife inherited her
grandmother’s 2003 Lexus ES300 with low miles on it about 2 year ago.
Therefore, the Lexus has taken the place of the Buick as our reserve/airport car.
I simply have not had the time to fool with selling the Buick despite the
occasional consideration to go to CarMax for an offer. Additionally, it’s been
difficult to part with the Buick considering how well it has served us and the
fact that I have owned it since ordering from the factory. What’s wrong with it? A few things - mainly due to being
kicked out of the third garage spot by the Lexus. There are typical bumps and
scratches on the sides and bumpers due to airport parking garages over the
years, but it still presents very well do to its extensive years of being under
cover. A tree limb fell during a storm
last year and dented the driver door and the hood (as you can see in the
pictures). The interior rear view mirror has developed some cloudiness that I
can only attribute to the sun. The screen for the automatic climate control
does not display anything, but all functions still work correctly (this is very
strange to me and I wonder if regular use would “wake” the screen back up).
There seems to be a coolant leak, but the origin is unknown. My yard man thinks
it’s probably just an old radiator hose or even a worn out radiator cap. The
car still runs just fine though. Thank you for looking at my car. It is truly is an
exceptional example of the Buick Century mark, and its new owner will
understand immediately just how well it has been cared for. I welcome any
questions you may have and sincerely appreciate your consideration in viewing
my advertisement. |

Buick Riviera Concept debuts in China
Fri, 19 Apr 2013It's nighttime in China, and Buick has just concluded an evening event the day before the first - and only - press day of the Shanghai Motor Show. The star of this evening's party was the Buick Riviera concept vehicle, a plug-in electric hybrid coupe that the automaker says gives a glimpse at its future design direction, not to mention resurrecting some nomenclature from the brand's history that includes a similarly named concept from 2007.
The shape of the Riviera is said to be inspired by water. While the traditional Buick "waterfall" grille is present, the front end gains a more aggressive note thanks to what appear to be vertical air inlets below each headlight.
As for the concept's drivetrain, Buick says it uses General Motors' new dual-mode wireless plug-in hybrid electric vehicle propulsion system, or W-PHEV for short. The keyword there is 'wireless,' as the Riviera can charge its onboard battery packs with a traditional cable or wirelessly via a "sensory recharge panel" underneath the car.
2013 Opel Cascada
Tue, 24 Sep 2013The Future Buick Verano Convertible?
I wasn't wearing a pedometer while in Germany covering the Frankfurt Motor Show this year, but it's safe to say I walked more than a few miles between press conferences, shooting cars and trekking back to the media center on the first day alone. For this reason, it didn't take much convincing from General Motors for me to duck out of the Messe a day early and drive some of its latest Opel models. No, this didn't include the all-new Country Tourer, but I was able to drive the Opel Mokka (our Buick Encore), the Opel Adam and the Opel Cascada.
I focused most of my driving time behind the wheel of the Cascada, which went on sale in Europe earlier this year, since rumors are swirling that a Buick version of this convertible "could happen soon." Buick hasn't had a convertible since the Reatta, and GM has been lacking a non-performance, budget-minded convertible since the Pontiac brand - and its G6 - was dropped, so adding the Cascada to Buick showrooms could further help the reemerging brand compete in the near-luxury segment. Although the weather was too chilly (and occasionally rainy) to enjoy the Cascada with its top down for very long, I was able to clock a fair bit of drive time behind the wheel on roads ranging from the autobahn to tight roads in small, quaint villages.
GM recalling 8.4M cars, 8.2M related to ignition problems
Mon, 30 Jun 2014General Motors today announced a truly massive recall covering some 8.4 million vehicles in North America. Most significantly, 8.2 million examples of the affected vehicles are being called back due to "unintended ignition key rotation," though GM spokesperson Alan Adler tells Autoblog that this issue is not like the infamous Chevy Cobalt ignition switch fiasco.
For the sake of perspective, translated to US population, this total recall figure would equal a car for each resident of New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Montana, Delaware, South Dakota, Alaska, North Dakota, the District of Columbia, Vermont and Wyoming. Combined. Here's how it all breaks down:
7,610,862 vehicles in North America being recalled for unintended ignition key rotation. 6,805,679 are in the United States.
