1989 Buick Reatta Base Coupe 2-door 3.8l on 2040-cars
|
One Florida owner from 1989 to December 2012 when It was sold to CarMax with 79,900 miles - and I purchased it. (I have a copy of the original title show original owner, purchase and sale date). The car was in remarkable original condition, but the clearcoat was in poor condition on the top and hood..I had the car professionaly repainted the correct red. The leather interior is original and unbelievable condition. No tears, cracks etc. Some carpet fading. The car ran fairly good, although I thought it might have been setting the past year or so..I installed new injectors, turneup, serviced/cleaned radiator, new catalyic converter..In all, I spent about $4000 for mechanics, and paint...The car runs absolutely beautiful. The touch computer screen works beautifully and "turns on" everything as it should. The body is perfect - no rust, no scratches, no dents..No bondo was needed or used when repainted. The only negative is that the speedometer screen went "black" about two weeks ago..It will not light up. I took it to the local Buick dealer but no one knew how to fix it..I did find sources on the internet that repairs the module for about $350...I've driven the car about 500 miles since I bought it so the mileage is about 80,000..Overall, an extremely nice Reatta...

GM recalling 2013 Buick LaCrosse, Cadillac SRX over transmission software
Thu, 21 Mar 2013The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued recalls for the 2013 Buick LaCrosse and 2013 Cadillac SRX due to a problem with the software for the transmission controller. On about 27,000 SRX and LaCrosse models, the transmission could accidentally be shifted to Sport mode, which would reduce the amount of engine braking drivers experience.
NHTSA says this could increase the risk of a crash, but, fortunately, the required fix is simply an update to the software.
While we're on the subject of General Motors vehicle recalls, a small number (48) of compressed natural gas versions of the 2011 Chevrolet Express are also being recalled for a potential risk of fire or explosion. Yikes. Both official recall notices are posted below.
Buick dusting off Grand National, GNX and T-Type nameplates
Mon, 26 Nov 2012Inside Line reports Buick is planning to bring back some of the more storied names from the company's past, including the Grand National, GNX and the T-Type. Those cars rose to prominence in the 1970s and '80s to become performance legends of their day.
The new models will reportedly make use of the rear-wheel drive platform that currently underpins the Cadillac ATS and all would arrive as sedans - according to an unnamed source familiar with the initiative. Odds are the T-Type and the Grand National would share a driveline, with honest money being on a new twin-turbocharged 3.6-liter V6 as the engine of choice. Word has it the mill will be good for anywhere from 350 to 400 horsepower.
That leaves only the GNX. Inside Line seems to think that machine could get down the road with some help from the all-new GM LT1 small-block V8. The engineers behind the ATS platform have already told us the engine bay is large enough for to accommodate the big eight pot, and since GM is most certainly working on an ATS-V, a slightly less powerful, less luxurious Buick iteration makes some kind of sense. We can't wait to see these things in the light of day.
Opel Cascada close to getting green light for US
Fri, 13 Sep 2013For a company with a long tradition of grand touring convertibles, it's almost unseemly that General Motors doesn't offer a properly relaxed four-seat convertible in North America. There's the Chevrolet Camaro, of course, but it's not big on rear-seat space and it doesn't offer that sort of serene demeanor that many open-air buyers crave. We're thinking of something more refined and, dare we say, elegant. Something a bit closer to the Opel Cascada.
The General's front-wheel drive convertible went on sale in Europe this year, and while it seemed like a natural fit for its Buick brand in America, it's never been sold here. That may be about to change, however. Back in June, CEO Dan Akerson hinted he'd like to see the Cascada available in the US, and now there's word from Edmunds that importation "could happen soon." That's according to an unnamed insider at the company.
