 Don't want to sell but same old story.

 87 turbo-t v-6 turbo charged runs and drives.

The bad - it has had the turbo replaced and an older chip, the paint is a 3 tone color - has different colored fenders on front & different truck lid. "Do have the build sticker off deck lid." Right side door skin and rr quarter both have a scrape down them. The bumper fillers are typical for age.  Windshield is cracked.  I'm currently trying to tune it.  At wide open throttle it is loosing boost, at 1/2 to 3/4 its game on so check in.  It is in shop now.  The battery is not the best.  Needs some cosmetic work.  Brakes work but has original setup not a good 1.  The air conditioning  will need charged or converted to 134a.

The good - a rare optioned 3 tone sleeper.  Has laudau roof with the astro roof.  Turbo-t with 88k.  It is not a limited but has the light sockets there and I do have the lights for the front fenders. chrome strips that belong on the bottom of doors n fenders i have also and it is in good shape  Interior is 9 of 10 needs headliner.  The floor pans are solid, frame is solid.  Car was undercoated at dealer.  The car has been sitting and smells musty.  I took the car to cruise night - needs some tuning but solid car.  Drives nice - like it should with 88k.

Buick Envision aces IIHS crash tests

Tue, Sep 27 2016

If you had any qualms about the safety of a Chinese-built car, set them aside. At least when it comes to the Buick Envision. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has tested the new GM crossover and it passed with flying colors. The Envision is the first Chinese-built Buick sold in the States, and it's also the first Chinese-built car the organization has ever tested. In what is an impressive feat for any new automobile, it earned the IIHS TOP SAFETY PICK+ rating. This means the crossover comes equipped with a forward collision warning system and earned "Good" marks in all types of collisions, including the difficult small overlap crash test. In addition to the forward collision warning system, an automatic emergency braking system is available on the Envision. Eleven other vehicles earned the TOP SAFETY PICK+ rating, including models from Volvo, Lincoln, Acura, Audi, Mercedes-Benz, Lexus and Infiniti. That's good company, and combined with a pleasant, if not world-beating, driving experience, should make the Envision a car worth consideration. Related Video:

Buick: Odell Beckham Jr.

Mon, Feb 8 2016

An Opel droptop in Buick drag crashes a wedding. No one's quite sure who made the Cascada, but Emily Ratajkowski definitely got the bouquet. She channels Odell Beckham Jr., laying out to make the catch – and conveniently Beckham is actually there to jokingly shoot her down. Did Buick nail this one, or was it (as Beckham quips) "out of bounds?" Let us know.

First 2013 Buick Encore TV ad features... dinosaurs

Thu, 14 Mar 2013

The whole "SUVs as dinosaurs" trope has become something of a threadbare cliché among auto writers, but that doesn't mean the wider world of consumers has caught on to the Jurassic nature of our line of thinking. That's what General Motors appears to be betting on, at least. Just check out Buick's first television spot for its 2013 Encore, the tiny crossover that is pushing the Tri-Shield into territories unknown while looking to outrun the brand's reputation as a refuge for elderly clientele.
Set to air this weekend on ESPN during the NCAA college basketball tournament, the ad plays up the Encore's maneuverability and surprising interior space by setting the baby Buick amongst a herd of lumbering CG dinosaurs created by Tippett Studio, the folks behind Hollywood blockbusters like Jurassic Park, Ted, and the Twilight series of films.
We can't help but snigger a little - while the Encore is indeed surprisingly roomy, nimble, and composed, our first drive found it to be glacially slow, too... not unlike a certain prehistoric race of animals. Check out the commercial below and judge for yourself.
