2004 Buick Rainier CXL 2WD
One Owner Florida Car Offered at No Reserve
A nice alternative to a Chevrolet Trailblazer or GMC Envoy. This Rainier is in great condition both cosmetically and mechanically.
There are a few paint chips and small scratches, as to be expected for a 9 year old vehicle. I only noted one very small and very removable ding on the right rear door.
I purchased this vehicle from my cousin in Florida with the intent of using it to tow my boat. It was never titled in NJ and is still on the original Florida one owner clear title. I needed something larger for the family when towing the boat, so, I ended up buying a Tahoe instead. Now the Buick must go. I'm out of room in the driveway!
You will not be disappointed in this vehicle! It is finished in Indigo Blue Metallic with a nicely complimenting Light Cashmere leather interior. The interior is also in exceptionally good condition as you can see in the photos. The factory aluminum wheels, while slightly oxidized, have no curb rash. A good polishing could possibly bring them back to full lustre.
There is no shortage of equipment on this vehicle, and, all operates perfectly.
The vehicle is equipped with a Vortec 4200 SFI I6 engine with 4 speed automatic transmission. Additional mechanical items are:
- Rear Air Suspension with Load Leveling Control - Includes air pump and original hose for tire inflation or recreational use
- Independent front suspension
- Bilstein shocks
- Locking Rear Differential with 3.73 ratio
- Trailer towing package with wiring harness
- 4 wheel disc antilock brakes
- 17X7" Brushed Aluminum Wheels
In terms of comfort and convenience, Rainier's come fully equipped with items to include:
- Onstar
- Dual Stage Front Airbags
- Automatic Daytime Running Lights
- Theft Deterent System
- Fog / Cornering Lights
- Power Heated Side View Mirrors with Integrated Signals
- Acoustic Insultated Windshield and Side Glass
- 8 Way Power Driver and Passenger Seat with Power Lumbar Support
- Memory Driver Seat and Mirror
- AM / FM Stereo with Cassette and CD with Rear Seat Audio Controls
- Tilt Steering Wheel
- Cruise Control
- Automatic Dual Zone Climate Control
- Driver Information Center
- Remote Keyless Entry - Both Controls and Keys!
- Split Folding Rear Seats
- Power Windows
- Power Door Locks
- Power Sunroof
- Smoker's Package, aka, coinholder, as the vehicle was never smoked in
- Dual Function Tailgate / Tailgate Window
Original MSRP was $37,145 - Original window sticker included.
Vehicle had a recent oil change. BF Goodrich Rugged Trail T/A P245/ 65R17 tires, while not new, have some decent life left in them. This is really an add gas and go vehicle.
The Rainier is for sale locally and I reserve the right to end the auction should it sell. The vehicle is located in Andover, NJ if you would like to see it. I'll be happy to answer any questions you may have.
Thanks for your consideration.

GM will stop reporting monthly U.S. vehicle sales
Tue, Apr 3 2018DETROIT — General Motors said on Tuesday it will stop reporting monthly U.S. vehicle sales, saying the 30-day snapshot does not accurately reflect the market, and will instead issue quarterly sales. GM will also no longer report monthly sales in China, its largest market, and Brazil. GM will provide monthly data to the U.S. Federal Reserve, industry associations and government agencies across the globe, but that data is not made public. Analysts and investors rely on monthly U.S. vehicle sales not just to track the performance of individual automakers, but as a barometer of the health of the world's second-largest auto market and as an indicator of consumer confidence in the U.S. economy overall. GM and its Detroit rivals Ford and Fiat Chrysler have relied heavily on sales of high-margin pickup truck and SUV sales to boost profits. GM's total U.S. sales, its second-largest market, are down 3.2 percent for the first two months of 2018, reflecting a 6.8 percent drop in retail sales to individual customers, the company reported last month. GM executives have expressed frustration that comparisons of monthly U.S. sales results among rival automakers are distorted by short-term discount programs, and by differences in strategy for selling vehicles in bulk to rental car fleets. "Thirty days is not enough time to separate real sales trends from short-term fluctuations in a very dynamic, highly competitive market," Kurt McNeil, U.S. vice president for sales operations said in a statement. GM's actions could prompt other automakers to also switch to quarterly U.S. sales reports. Major automakers will report March U.S. new vehicle sales on Tuesday. Until the early 1990s, most U.S. automakers released sales results every 10 days. The former Chrysler Corp. stopped reporting sales on a 10-day basis in 1990, and rivals followed suit over the next three years. GM executives are betting that investors will quickly adapt to receiving U.S. sales data every three months, as investors in other retail sectors already have. Retailers such as Walmart report sales on a quarterly basis. Reporting by Joe WhiteRelated Video: Image Credit: Reuters Earnings/Financials Green Buick Cadillac Chevrolet GM GMC US
How tariffs in China could cause a meltdown in the American South
Sun, Aug 25 2019While BMW is clearly a German company, the crossovers that are exceedingly important to it are actually made in Spartanburg, South Carolina. And more than that, the Spartanburg plant (physically located in the town of Greer) is where the corporate know-how and capability for those vehicles is concentrated. These are the vehicles – specifically, the BMW X3, X4, X5, X6, X7 – that drove record growth for the company in 2018, according to BMW. But whatÂ’s most notable about BMW Group Plant Spartanburg, given current events, is that according to the U.S. Department of Commerce it was the largest automotive exporter by value for the fifth year running in 2018. ThatÂ’s worth emphasizing: largest automotive exporter by value. Not GM. Not Ford. BMW. And where might one assume that more than a few of those X vehicles are shipped to? China. Some 360 miles southwest of Spartanburg is Mercedes-Benz U.S. International, Inc., in in Tuscaloosa County, Alabama. It started building vehicles in 1997. Since then, Daimler AG has invested in excess of $5.5 billion in the facility. It manufactures the crossover now known as the GLE, formerly the ML-Class. It also makes the GLE coupe and GLS. Daimler describes the Tuscaloosa facility as “the traditional home of SUV production” for those vehicles. When it reported its global 2018 sales, Daimler noted that on a global basis SUVs account “for more than a third of all Mercedes-Benz sales.” According to the Chinese finance ministry, on December 15th the Chinese government will impose a 25% tariff on automobiles (and a 5% tariff on auto parts) from the U.S. Certainly this is going to have a direct effect on the sales of vehicles that are manufactured in the U.S. and exported to China. BMW and Mercedes are going to take it on the chin for the vehicles that they make in plants that they invested in so heavily in the U.S. Which could potentially mean that people in places like Greer, South Carolina, and Vance, Alabama, are going to find themselves in the crosshairs of the combatants. Soo too could Lincoln, which produces vehicles in places like Louisville, Kentucky (Navigator), Chicago, Illinois (Aviator) and Flat Rock, Michigan (Continental). Although the Tesla Gigafactory 3 is rapidly nearing completion in Shanghai, it is worth noting that vehicles built in Fremont, California, are being sold in China in numbers that donÂ’t make Musk unhappy.
China's Buick Envista crossover is coming to the United States
Wed, Nov 23 2022Confirming an earlier rumor, Buick has announced that the Envista crossover it unveiled in China earlier in 2022 will travel across the Pacific and land in American showrooms. The fastback-like soft-roader's main mission will be to lure younger buyers into the firm's showrooms. "[The Buick Envista is] already in production in China, off the design of the Buick Wildcat. Getting ready for the United States here as well; just a beautiful addition to the Buick line-up," said General Motors president Mark Reuss during a conference call in November 2022. His announcement asks more questions than it answers. We don't know when the Envista will make its American debut, whether it will be imported from China or built elsewhere, or precisely where it will slot in the Buick range. Enthusiast website GM Authority speculates that we could see the model in time for the 2024 model year and that the lineup will include an upmarket trim level with the Avenir designation. Technical details will be released closer to the Envista's on-sale date. For context, the version sold in China carries a base price of RMB 150,000, which represents about $21,000 at the current conversion rate, and ships with a turbocharged, 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine rated at 181 horsepower and bolted to a continuously variable transmission (CVT). It's available with a pair of 10.25-inch displays (one for the instrument cluster and one for the infotainment system), a surround-sound system, and a sporty-looking appearance package named GS (that should raise some eyebrows from the long-time Buick fans out there). Convincing young motorists to put the Buick brand near the top of their shopping list will be just one of the Envista's tasks. On a secondary level, it also previews the design language that will permeate the rest of the range (including a series of EVs) in the coming years.
