Thank you for checking out my classic car, the Buick Limited Edition!  I purchased this vehicle new nearly 35 years ago and have driven it on occasion since.  It is garage-stored and pampered.  The complete repair record is available, although the car has been basically problem-free over the years.  It has a clean, well maintained interior and has also been entirely smoke-free.

 

Seats are crushed velour upholstery.  The passenger seat (which reclines) and rear seats have been seldom used so both have like-new upholstery.  No rips, stains, or holes.

 

The car was undercoated with frequent touch-up applications for minimal surface rust, although there is rear frame rust.  Doors and trunk lid have some small paint chips.  The lower trim behind the front tires has some small dents from the mechanic's hoist.  There is a passenger-side windshield crack.  Dash is in great shape, no cracks or rips.   The hood has lost its pneumatic lift.  The car has a spare tire and jack.  It hasn't been driven since the brakes went out last year.  It has one mismatched hubcap, a loose tailpipe, a small hole in the trunk's tire well the size of a half-dollar, and  broken plastic edging on the seat belt clip.  It also needs a taillight cover, re-tacking of the ceiling upholstery, and perhaps front springs.  One tire is showing wear.  Front shocks were installed new prior to storage and I have a replacement bumper for the rear ready to go.

 

The car has been stored the past 1 1/2 years.  Prior to that it ran and performed well on the road with a great engine by GM, said to be perhaps the best they ever built.  The interior and exterior are both in excellent condition, especially considering the vehicle's age.  It would make a classic parade and show vehicle, or it has many top-notch items as a parts car.

I am happy to answer any and all questions.  If you would like more pictures, I can email them to you.  I look forward to talking with you.

Buick shows off new Ultra Luxury Interior for LaCrosse

Sun, 27 Apr 2014

The options sheet of the 2014 Buick LaCrosse gets all kinds of fancy with the addition of the Ultra Luxury Interior. Pointing its Tri-Shield logo at the world of haute luxury, the cabin treatment combines sangria leather with ebony accents, shadow tamo ash wood trim and a microsuede headliner to "drive fashion forward."
You'll need to start with LaCrosse models with the 3.6-liter V6 and either the Leather, Premium or Premium II trims to go all Brioni and Buckingham on the cabin, and the privilege package will run you $2,495. We're told that you won't find such contrasting hues anywhere else in the class, though, and that kind of exclusivity might make any price a bargain.
You can find more information on the Ultra Luxury Interior in the press release below, along with some intensely fashion-foward gobbledygook.

J.D. Power study sees new car dependability problems increase for first time since 1998

Wed, 12 Feb 2014

For the first time since 1998, J.D. Power and Associates says its data shows that the average number of problems per 100 cars has increased. The finding is the result of the firm's much-touted annual Vehicle Dependability Study, which charts incidents of problems in new vehicle purchases over three years from 41,000 respondents.
Looking at first-owner cars from the 2011 model year, the study found an average of 133 problems per 100 cars (PP100, for short), up 6 percent from 126 PP100 in last year's study, which covered 2010 model-year vehicles. Disturbingly, the bulk of the increase is being attributed to engine and transmission problems, with a 6 PP100 boost.
Interestingly, JDP notes that "the decline in quality is particularly acute for vehicles with four-cylinder engines, where problem levels increase by nearly 10 PP100." Its findings also noticed that large diesel engines also tended to be more problematic than most five- and six-cylinder engines.

Buick Riviera Concept debuts in China

Fri, 19 Apr 2013

It's nighttime in China, and Buick has just concluded an evening event the day before the first - and only - press day of the Shanghai Motor Show. The star of this evening's party was the Buick Riviera concept vehicle, a plug-in electric hybrid coupe that the automaker says gives a glimpse at its future design direction, not to mention resurrecting some nomenclature from the brand's history that includes a similarly named concept from 2007.
The shape of the Riviera is said to be inspired by water. While the traditional Buick "waterfall" grille is present, the front end gains a more aggressive note thanks to what appear to be vertical air inlets below each headlight.
As for the concept's drivetrain, Buick says it uses General Motors' new dual-mode wireless plug-in hybrid electric vehicle propulsion system, or W-PHEV for short. The keyword there is 'wireless,' as the Riviera can charge its onboard battery packs with a traditional cable or wirelessly via a "sensory recharge panel" underneath the car.
