1990 Buick Reatta Base Coupe 2-door 3.8l on 2040-cars
Roslindale, Massachusetts, United States
|
I drove this registered in NH till July of this year. Parked it and bought another driver as this car is loud and needs work. Replaced the muffler with a shiny cheap muffler that does very little to quiet the car. It has a number of issues and that's why it is selling cheap. So the bad: Needs e brake cable. Needs new muffler, needs new vent window and mirror passenger (tore this and mirror off. And a variety of small things such as radio which works but volume jumps up and down, maybe a new window motor passenger (not sure, but it was at least slow last time I used it). The idle runs high sometimes. The abs light has and is always on but haven't noticed any changes in the brakes. Needs a new wiper arm on passenger, the old one bent. The car was registered in NH and there they don't title, but may need some efforts to get a copy of recent registration (have the plate number). I believe you can request a title or register using recent July records.
The good: Engine runs good. Trans shifts fine. New front calipers, rotors and brakes approx one year ago. New calipers and brakes rear approx one year ago. New fan motor. 4 new tires, bought them about 1k ago for $500.00. The undercarriage is in beautiful shape, for some reason the dipped these cars in untra rust proofing. The interior is in average condition, no major problems. This could last you another unknown number of miles should you want to put in to it a bit of sweat equity and own a classic car. I can't see this car becoming less valuable it is one of few cars in the 90's that have 2 seats, style and collector value. I still have my 90 convertible and that is creeping up in value. Or use it for parts for your own Reatta, the windshield alone are selling for $6-$700.00 online. |

2013 Buick Enclave
Mon, 29 Oct 2012GM's Flagship Lambda Is (Still) A Smooth Operator
Consumers shopping for a domestic full-size crossover have heard all about GM's triplets. The Chevrolet Traverse, GMC Acadia and Buick Enclave are a very appealing and talented group of siblings. Entering their fifth year of production, albeit middle-age in the automotive industry, each is attractive, well-rounded and very capable on the paved dance floor. While all share nearly identical base DNA and the same basic running gear, subtle physical differences and unique personalities emerge between the trio when one digs a bit deeper.
The most polished of the threesome, without question, is the Enclave from Buick. Fresh off a mid-cycle update (as are its siblings), the flagship of the platform boasts a facelift, innovative new features and an upgraded demeanor for the new model year.
Movie Review: Black Air: The Buick Grand National Documentary
Thu, 06 Dec 2012As Buick currently claws and scratches its way back into relevance to compete against luxury brands like Lexus and Acura, it's hard to believe that not too long ago, the brand had a car that was mentioned in the same breath as Corvette, Lamborghini and Ferrari. That car? None other than the Buick Grand National. All black with a turbocharged V6 and some of the quickest acceleration of its time, the Grand National, in today's standards, is along the lines of a 2013 Shelby GT500 with both cars essentially being a working man's supercar.
The last Grand National rolled off the assembly line in Flint, MI on December 11, 1987, and to mark the silver anniversary of that somber occasion, Black Air is a documentary of the Grand National from the perspective of the enthusiast, the collector, the media and even from those at General Motors responsible for creating such a sinister legend. Like the car itself, Andrew Filippone Jr. shoots the documentary in a raw fashion, and it definitely helps to show why a low-volume muscle car from the 1980s is still the object of obsession for many automotive enthusiasts to this day.
2014 Buick Regal GS AWD
Thu, 27 Feb 2014"This is just silly," I said as I laughed my way sideways around the icy track at Circuit ICAR, a racecourse, drag strip and kart track at the Montreal-Mirabel International Airport in Quebec. It wasn't the activity that had me cracking up, though. After all, winter driving experiences aren't uncommon in this business.
No, in this particular case, it was the car that had me chuckling. I wasn't in a mad hot hatch or a rally-derived rocket - I was in a Buick. The 2014 Regal GS, to be more precise. Somehow, despite its recent product renaissance (not to mention its distant - yet storied - history of performance models), I was having a hard time believing that this attractive, turbocharged, all-wheel-drive sedan sliding around the Great White North could possibly be wearing a Tri-Shield badge on its nose.
But it was, and slide about it did. While having access to a vehicle in this setting is fairly rare, what's rarer is the fact that I've had so much exposure to it. In Mr. Ewing's recent Volkswagen Golf R drive story, for instance, his ice capades were his first experience with the new model. In my case, though, I was lucky enough to first test the refreshed Regal GS for a week back in December before flying to Quebec to drive it on the snowy, icy, winding roads of Canada's most fiercely independent province and on the track at Mirabel.
