Car has been fitted with a great glasspack & muffler, has a very deep throaty sound. Combined with the solid black paint and overall profile you'll be turning heads everywhere you go! This car is powerful yet smooth, can be driven hard & fast or cruised in style. Power steering is extremely smooth, handles great for such a large framed car of its age!
This is a big car, has HUGE trunk space and can comfortably fit 3 in the back and 2 in front, a 3rd can squeeze in the front if needed as well.
Recently had the radiator hoses replaced.
Carb was rebuilt in late 2010.
The body is in great shape, small dent on right side (mid body) was long painted over when purchased.
The car was one of my daily drivers, very reliable and very very fast
The BAD:
Needs a new battery, current battery is at the end of its life
AC needs freon but did work thru the summer of 2011
Steering wheel missing original Buick logo
One tire likes to lose air randomly (had to fill it back up to match the other tires by about 10 every 3-4 weeks)
Due to business deployment I am not home enough to enjoy or take care of the car, have been away since Mid December. I had a week home in January when I fired it up and took it for a quick spin. After that its been sitting undriven. I was told by a family member that the battery needed to be fully charged overnight recently for the car to fire up. Was told it turned twice and then the lights and stereo died out as the battery failed. When I last left my mechanic did inform me the battery was failing so I wasn't surprised to hear this. The car could also use an oil change as it's been about 2500-3000 miles since its last change (plus about 3 1/2 months after those miles)
While I do love this car I feel it's time to let it go, send it off to its next awesome home & owner. As things stand now it's sitting there unadmired and aching to grab attention. Use it as your daily driver, or do some work to make it more powerful or even turn it into a show car with enough time put in!
Title is clear
This car is being sold AS-IS with NO WARRANTY. While it has been reliable for me it is an older car which has its fair share of typical wear & I cannot be responsible for any unforeseen issues. As stated it was driven fine in early January & last fired up (but not driven) early March after having it's battery recharged over night.

Next Buick Regal to inherit styling cues from Opel Monza concept
Mon, 06 Oct 2014Ever look at a concept car from a foreign auto marque like Opel and wonder what relevance it will have to you as an American consumer? Well, we'll tell you: at least as far as the Opel Monza concept goes, it could mean a lot.
Speaking with Automotive News at the Paris Motor Show, Opel chief Karl-Thomas Neumann said, "You will see the Monza when you see the next Insignia." And the Insignia, we needn't point out, is essentially ported over to American showrooms as the Buick Regal.
The relationship between the Regal and Insignia only stands to grow closer as Opel design chief Mark Adams has also been charged with tightening the bonds between the two automakers positioned on opposite shores of the Atlantic. Adams also intends to imbue the next Insignia with more "premium brand values" in order to "add polish to the brand." Which in turn means that the Regal will be designed to look more upscale, too.
Lutz dishes dirt on GM in latest Autoline Detroit
Mon, 20 Jun 2011Bob Lutz sits down for Autoline Detroit - Click above to watch video after the jump
Autoline Detroit recently played host to Bob Lutz, and, as is always the case, the former General Motors vice chairman dished out some great commentary. Lutz was promoting his new book Car Guys vs. Bean Counters: The Battle for the Soul of American Business, and talk quickly turned to his role as it related to product development and high-level decision making at GM. While on the topic of brand management, Lutz revealed a few rather interesting tidbits about his former employer:
All Chevrolet vehicles were required to have five-spoke aluminum wheels and a chrome band up front, as part of the Bowtie brand's overall image.
