Up for auction is a 2005 Buick LeSabre Custom Sedan with 160,977 highway miles that was used regularly as a vehicle for long distance trips 
between Long Island, NY and the Washington, DC area. It's a very reliable vehicle that has been well maintained, was a non-smoker car and 
always garage kept.  The car comes equipped with a 4-speed automatic transmission, heated leather seats, traction control, CD stereo and full 
interior power features.  It has the Cashmere (dark tan) exterior and tan interior that are a great color combo. I inherited the car from my 
late Aunt Susan's estate, as she sadly passed away earlier this year from a prolonged battle with breast cancer. Title is in now in my name after
being 
transferred to me through probate.  I am selling the vehicle because I have no need for a second vehicle (simply don't drive enough miles to
justify it). 
However, I've had it checked out by a trusted local mechanic and have also been driving it twice a week to ensure it's being run regularly. 
The condition is described below in detail based on what I know.

Condition Report

This car was well maintained by my Aunt due to her regular long trips to DC as she did not want to get stuck on the highway with a breakdown. 
We were very close and talked about a lot of her trips. I only wish I could find the service records for you, not sure where they were kept. Anyway, 
this LeSabre looks great for being 8 years of age and the body is in fantastic shape, as I mentioned it was garage kept it's entire life.
The 3800 (3.8L) V6 motor is strong and powerful. If you do any research on this car, you'll find that this motor is one of the best that GM has ever
made and commonly runs for 300,000+ miles as long as the oil and engine coolant are changed at normal intervals. The car starts u
p effortlessly
every time and the transmission shifts smoothly. The 
heater heats the car up quickly and the A/C blows ice cold. The battery is still going strong
(it's a long life battery so should be good for a 
few more years). The EPA estimates the mileage at 18 mpg city/28 mpg highway.
 I have been getting 25 mpg in mixed highway and local driving.

Below, I am fully disclosing everything I observed visually on the interior and exterior of the car:

On the exterior, the Cashmere paint is in very good condition, with less than normal wear for its age, which means there are a some very minor 
exterior scratches but no dings or damage of any consequence. There isn’t any visible rust on the body either. The paint is likewise very glossy
over the entire body. The undercarriage is clean and in great condition and this car does not have any fluid drips or leaks underneath. The tires 
all have good remaining tread life (20%+), however, one of the rear tires is non-matching (General tire). All are size P215/70R15s.

On the interior, the tan front seats are still in very good shape with no holes or tears and only normal wear, as you will see in the pictures.
The rear seats are in excellent condition and hardly look worn at all. 
All of the trim panels and trim pieces are intact, tight and in great condition.
Driver's seat occasionally shifts ever so slightly on tight cornering but is hardly noticeable - may need bolt tightened. The steering wheel looks good
with only minor wear and a few tiny scratches on a few the steering wheel control buttons. All electronics, lighting, mirrors, windows, interior buttons
and switches are functioning properly except for the driver's heated seat button which is not working - passenger side heated seat is fine. I don't have
an estimate on getting the switch repaired but can't imagine it would be costly, anyway you won't need it for awhile going into Summer.
Also, the 
gauges all work except for the tachometer (RPM gauge). It's basically useless on an automatic and I remember my Aunt saying it
pegged out after 
her factory warranty expired and she never thought it was worth repairing. If it bothers you my mechanic advised the entire instrument
cluster can be sent 
out for repair at $125 parts and 1 hours of labor to remove and re-install the cluster, so ~ $200 fix.

All fluids are in good shape, nothing needs to be replaced for awhile. I just had the oil and filter changed so it's good to go for another 3000+ miles.
Front brakes have 5 mm on the pads and 4 mm on the rear brakes, so you are good there. Rear shocks need to be done soon, but you're OK driving
for now. Incidentally they are air shocks but Monroe makes a conversion kit. I can show you where to get the kit for $110 and then you would just need
to pay labor, unless you can do the work yourself. 
The floor mats are original and clean with normal wear. The trunk area is likewise in good condition
(see photo) and the spare tire, jack and accessories 
are all there. Two factory keys and one fully functional remote are included along with the original
owner's and maintenance manuals in the glove box. 
If you want a second remote, they are going for as low as $15 used in good condition on eBay and
you can get it programmed by an automotive locksmith for $50 (have done this with several cars that don't have on-board programming).  

After I got the new title and registration, just had the car pass NJ inspection. NJ inspection sticker good through May 2015 and it's ready to drive away. 
I would not hesitate to drive this car anywhere, it's that solid.

Will you get a great deal on this LeSabre?

Well of course I am going to say I think you'll get a terrific deal given the vehicle's condition but don’t just take my word for it. The Kelly Blue Book
value for this car is over $5,000. Since this is a NO RESERVE auction you have a chance to save a bundle.

I highly recommend you visit the Kelly Blue Book site to see how highly rated and reliable this car is by hundreds of other consumers
(Overall rating of 8.8/10 which is really a strong rating since many cars are rated under 8/10 very few make it 9/10 or above). 

FREE BONUS

Because I want you to have a great customer experience and be thrilled with the car, you get the following FREE BONUS:

  • Full Tank of Gas - I knows gas prices are high, so the car comes with a full tank to save you a few bucks. ($64 value)

Buy with confidence, 100% positive feedback on 259 ratings since joining eBay in 2000. This is also the eight family vehicle I have sold on eBay Motors,
so you will see other positive feedback in my profile indicating how other eBay Motors buyers felt about their vehicle deal and their experience working
with me as a seller. Integrity is everything when buying a car online.

Please note that since this 2005 Buick LeSabre is also listed locally for sale, so it may be test driven by other potential buyers, thus listed mileage
in this auction may not be exact and is only guaranteed to be accurate within 200 miles.

If you have any questions or concerns about the car, please feel free to give Ryan a call at 732-407-2878. I don’t hide behind my eBay user name
or email address, unlike some other eBay Motors sellers.

Thank you for visiting and happy bidding!

GM SUV window switch recall urges owners to park vehicles outside

Thu, 07 Aug 2014

It's not unusual for there to be a lag between an automaker announcing a recall and the official documentation showing up on the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration website. So it's no surprise that a recent GM campaign took about a month to appear in its official capacity. However, there appears to be some big differences between the two reports with potential safety implications.
In late June, GM announced that it needed to recall 181,984 examples of the Chevrolet Trailblazer, Buick Rainier, GMC Envoy, Isuzu Ascender and Saab 9-7x from the 2005-2007 model years, plus the 2006 Chevy Trailblazer EXT and 2006 GMC Envoy XL. The new documents paint a slightly different picture with 184,611 needing repaired and different model years listed.
The reason for the fix is still the same, though. It's possible for fluid to contact the master power window switch module in the driver's door, which can corrode the part. Eventually this could cause a short circuit, leaving the buttons inoperable and potentially leading to a fire. But the new NHTSA documents add an important note: "A fire could occur even while the vehicle is not in use. As a precaution, owners are advised to park outside until the remedy has been made."

Opel Insignia OPC Sports Tourer shows its fresh face ahead of Frankfurt debut

Thu, 22 Aug 2013

Drive down the Autobahn and there's any number of vehicles likely to pass you, and most of them are produced locally. But if you're wondering how that Opel left you in its dust, look closely (and quickly) enough and you might make out the letters OPC on the back.
They stand for Opel Performance Center (the German counterpart to Vauxhall's VXR line) and they adorn performance versions of the Corsa, Astra and Insignia. The latter is undergoing a bit of a refresh and is expected to debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show in a couple of weeks, but you don't have to wait that long as our intrepid spy photographers have caught it in the flesh outside an Opel facility in Germany.
Spied here completely undisguised in Sports Tourer (read: wagon) form, the Insignia has had a few nips and tucks performed, but we'll be more intrigued to see what it's got under the hood. The current model packs a 2.8-liter twin-turbo V6 driving 325 horsepower to all four wheels, but rumors suggest that the OPC (yeah you know me!) could have as much as 400 hp up its sleeve. That would make this one heck of a sleeper - especially in wagon form - and only make us pine for a more potent version of its twin Buick Regal to roam our highways, too.

1969 Chevrolet Chevelle vs 1987 Buick GNX in Generation Gap showdown

Wed, 15 Oct 2014

Generation Gap generally tries to adhere to a theme for each episode, and for the final video from the Lingenfelter collection, the series might have its best idea yet - limited-production muscle cars from General Motors.
On one side you get a 1969 Chevrolet Chevelle COPO, and it's an absolute sleeper. Other than the SS wheels, this classic coupe looks practically bone stock, at least until the engine fires up. Under the hood is a 427-cubic-inch (7.0-liter) V8 making a claimed 425 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque. This was the sole year for the COPO package on the Chevelle, and Chevy only made about 323 of them.
The Chevelle's challenger is almost as rare and arguably just as cool. The 1987 Buick Grand National GNX looks just as mean today as when new. It eschews a traditional muscular V8 in favor of a 3.8-liter turbo V6 making a claimed 276 hp and 360 lb-ft, although that number is supposedly a bit underrated. Also, just 547 examples of the GNX version were ever built making it quite a collector's item too.
