87 Buick Grand National. 82k original miles, all stock except a computer chip, air filter, and adjustable wastegate which were installed in the 90's. Looks great from 20 feet away, undercarriage is solid, floors, trunk, rockers, doors, frame etc are all rust free. Car was driven very little and in fair weather only. Sat under a tree for a while in my driveway so the hood and trunk lid have spots from acid rain or sap or whatever but the sides look great. The tops don't leak. It runs great and has tons of power, the rear end is posi and works, the turbo spools up nice, the transmission shifts perfect. This car has not been restored and it get driven about 500 miles a year so it's not a show queen and you can expect some minor scratches and chips and dings from being over 25 years old. I have the original build sheet showing the Grand National and Hatch Roof options. I also have some oil change receipts showing the mileage is accurate. Clean title. OK now for the negatives - there's a hole in the drivers seat the size of a quarter, the carpet is somewhat worn, some of the interior trim needs restoring, the headliner fabric was sagging so now its gone, its missing one center cap, the 3 is missing on the hood where it says 3.8 litre, there's a scratch on the rear quarter panel I took a close-up picture of it. Manual windows and locks.AM/FM and cassette, no CD player or iphone jack. I was driving it the other day and the red brake light came on and there was no power brakes. My mechanic thinks it needs a new accumulator on the powermaster brake system because there's no leaks in the system and all the brakes look good and the powermaster pump runs. He suggested I just put a normal vacuum brake booster on it but for originality I'll let you decide how to fix it. The air conditioning hasn't worked since 2003, I take the roof off and problem solved. If you are looking for a good driver that you can buy reasonable and are willing to invest some love this is your car. If you are expecting a 100 point show winner this isn't there yet. My kids are older now and would much rather go wakeboarding than sit at a car show so I'm selling this champion to the highest bidder. I have a truck so I can help with delivery within a few hundred miles of zip 14804 for the cost of fuel and expenses. The car is located in western NY state but has never seen salt. I strongly encourage all bidders to personally inspect the vehicle before bidding or send your people over to inspect it, my mechanic can put it on a lift for you to check it over carefully. Someone will have to come by and put cash in my hand before the car leaves here or send a certified check and wait for it to clear before sending a shipping company to pick it up.

2013 Buick Verano Turbo vs. 2013 Acura ILX 2.4
Tue, 12 Mar 2013Answering The $30,000 Entry-Level Luxury Question
Twenty years ago, a comparison between an entry-level Buick and Acura would have matched a Skylark against an Integra.
Twenty years ago, a comparison between an entry-level Buick and its Acura equivalent would have matched a Skylark against an Integra. The unfair battle would have resulted in the compact American's defeat in nearly every measurable category, as the Japanese competitor was arguably at the height of its powers.
2013 Buick Verano Turbo
Thu, 03 Jan 2013Not Luxury. Not Sport. Not Buick. Not Bad.
Those of you who still think of the Buick Verano as some sort of callously badge-engineered, gussied up version of the Chevrolet Cruze ("Why would anyone spend that much money on Buick's Cruze?" you may have been heard to mutter) have got the wrong idea. Entirely. Even in its most modest form, the Verano turns out to be a sedan that is feature-rich, insulated from wind and road noise in proper luxury car fashion, pretty good to drive and not bad to look at in the new school of high-nosed pedestrian-impact-regulated fashion. In a less modest form then, one that attaches the word "Turbo" to the moniker and plops a force-fed 2.0-liter four-cylinder under the hood, the Verano is downright interesting.
Of course, "interesting" is rarely a descriptor that fills one with lust - and so it goes with this example. There are two competing forces within this near-premium subcompact sedan, and the balance struck between them must resonate with any potential customer before the Verano Turbo can become a serious purchase consideration.
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.
