 I purchased this vehicle from a friend who had purchased it new.It has been serviced beyond the "book" by the first owner and by me ( I have documentation for service, repairs and upgrades). The drive  train and the 5.3 motor in particular have been around for a while and many have been driven several hundred thousand miles. It has plenty of power and gets respectable fuel mileage (average 18 mpg overall  with highway mileage exceeding 20 mpg), particularly for a 5000 pound SUV. This car is in superb mechanical condition as it has had much attention given to service and repairs. It has a couple of upgrades not usually found on this model Rainier. During the past two years, in addition to regular maintenance, I have replaced a number of items that wear out over time. Replacements include water pump, fan clutch, battery, shocks and struts (new Monroe Sensatrac), Michelin LTX M/S tires (roughly 11,000 on new tires) and finally a new A/C compressor. It has many options including PS, PB, power leather seats with memory,  power moon roof, factory towing hitch and self leveling air bags.It does not have factory navigation, however, the hard-wired Tom Tom GPS unit goes with the vehicle and additionally, it has a new Poineer touch screen radio/cd player which is also a screen for a back up camera. The glove box includes a USB plug for an Ipod/MP3/whatever.

This has been used by me as a daily driver for the past two years and has provided reliable and  safe transportation  ( the first owner was an old man and I am older). The vast majority of the mileage has been highway and interstate. It still looks very good with minimal blemishes from doors, etc. There is a single dent near the roof line over the rear passenger side door (see photo) caused by a falling tree limb in one of the winter storms several years ago.Everything works as it should and it is a very comfortable trip companion and will make someone a good family car.

I take pride in being forthright and in treating folks the way that I want to be treated. Having that said, It is almost certain that I will have left out something important, so please feel free to call with any questions and to take a test ride if practical for you. Call Phil at 804-895-1936. It is for sale locally. Last thought. I forgot to  include a photo of the rear cargo area. It is immaculate and has a cover. Email if you would like a photo.

2013 Buick Encore

Mon, 10 Dec 2012

City, Slicker
We admit it. We have no earthly idea how this whole thing is going to shake out.
Typically, after driving a new car or truck, we come away prepared to hazard a guess as to whether said model has a good chance of being a sales success. We've amassed enough time watching the industry, scrutinizing the competitors, and so on, to make a reasonably educated bet. Yet here we are, days removed from driving the new 2013 Buick Encore, and we still have no bloody idea.

What's in a trademark? Sometimes, the next iconic car name

Thu, 07 Aug 2014



The United States Patent and Trademark Office is a treasure trove for auto enthusiasts, especially those who double as conspiracy theorists.
Why has Toyota applied to trademark "Supra," the name of one of its legendary sports cars, even though it hasn't sold one in the United States in 16 years? Why would General Motors continue to register "Chevelle" long after one of the most famous American muscle cars hit the end of the road? And what could Chrysler possibly do with the rights to "313," the area code for Detroit?

2015 Buick Verano offered with six-speed manual after all

Mon, 09 Jun 2014

Good news, boys and girls (well, at least those of you who still like shifting for yourselves). Buick got in touch with us to correct some information that it had mistakenly announced; namely, that the 2015 Verano will lose its optional six-speed manual transmission. Apparently, that announcement was incorrect, and the compact sedan will indeed continue to offer a manual option for 2015, despite what we're certain is a low take rate. Additionally, the Desert Dusk Metallic paint that was said to come as part of an Appearance Package is no longer part of the deal. With that out of the way, we now return you to your regularly scheduled automotive-obsessive broadcast...
