This is one of those rare finds that you always hear about someone else getting..
It's getting harder and harder to find one of these in this condition. They are usually rusted out, worn out, or beat to death.
===========================================================
This was a California car it's entire life until a few months ago. Zero rust.
Owned by a friends grandfather who left it to him, but this car is just not his style.
Well cared for and has been maintained by professionals always. Full documentation.
This car is like stepping back into the 80's when they were new. It even has that 80's car smell. All the way around it has been well taken care of.
- The paint is excellent - 1 tiny door ding on passenger side - see in pics
- New fiberglass bumper fillers just painted to match and installed
- Glass is all perfect - no chips/no cracks in windshield
- Chrome is all good and still shines
- Tires are like new
- All lights work correctly
- Doors/trunk/hood close perfect
- Landau top is perfect
- Exhaust looks new
- Shocks look new
Interior-
- Excellent condition throughout - 1 tiny wear spot just above power seat control - see in pics
- Carpet is good with no wear
- Door panels, dash, etc are all excellent
- All interior lighting works correctly
- Gauges/dash lighting work correctly
- The AM/FM Radio seems to act a little odd - just the digital display portion
- Non Smoker car
- Split bench w/ armrest
- 6 way power seat - a little noisy but works
- Power windows - driver side hesitates sometimes
- Very comfortable
Mechanicals-
- 3.8 V6 - Pump the gas and hit the key. Starts right up. Needs a couple quick light revs to smooth out
- Automatic trans shifts perfect
- Brakes work perfect - no pull or surging
- Shocks feel tight and new
- Runs at correct temp
- No funny noises or rattles / or smoke
- All hoses/belts/filters appear new
- Quiet exhaust
- I did see a drop of oil when I moved it but the undercarriage is clean. Maybe a gasket starting to go from sitting?
- Power steering quiet and smooth
- Radiator looks clean w/no leaks
- Just converted to R134a AC and blows cold- New pressure switch, clutch relay, fan relay, hi/lo hose assembly, and orifice tube.
I would rate this car a 9.5 out of 10 overall.
It looks like it has been well maintained but has also sat quite a bit. That would also be why it only has 67k miles. It most likely needs to be fine tuned since it was set up to pass California emissions standards. Smells like it's running lean. It comes with a folder full of documentation of everything ever done to the car. I didn't look through all of it but I did see a receipt for a new headliner at some point. And a new top. It is a lot of slips from the emissions tests too. It comes with the original window sticker, the build sheet, owners manual, and even the business card of the salesman that sold it. The spare tire and jack are in place. And it comes with a set of tire chains (in Cali?) that look like they were from the 80's as well. The paint was redone after a parking lot incident. It's a beautiful low mileage car that looks like it belongs on a movie set for an 80's film. It would make a perfect car for someone that loves this body style. These were the comfortable cruiser of their day, still look sporty, handle well, and kept the Buick reliability alive and well.
This is all I can think of.
As mentioned this is a friends car that was from his grandfather who took very good care of it.
I don't believe you will find another one that is in this condition.
I've looked over the car, did a safety check, and a short test drive to insure there wouldn't be any surprises.
It's a great car.

Next-gen LaCrosse, Cascada convertible coming to Buick showrooms in 2016
Wed, 23 Jul 2014It's difficult to overstate how significant the post-bankruptcy years have been for General Motors' Buick brand. Arguably the most improved American automaker, Buick has rounded out its range with an excellent compact in the Verano, a well-balanced midsizer in the Regal and a segment-busting mini-CUV, with the Encore.
Seeking to keep that momentum going, the next several years will see the brand address a trio of its most obvious issues. First and foremost will be a replacement for the aging LaCrosse, a vehicle whose only bit of attention since its 2009 debut was a very light refresh in 2013.
According to Automotive News, we should expect the next-generation LaCrosse to arrive late next year or early in 2016, as a 2016 model. AN expects big design changes, as Buick attempts to further the LaCrosse from its popular platform-mate, the Chevrolet Impala. The changes won't be so radical, though, as to do away with its front-drive architecture, as the latest version of the Epsilon platform will underpin the next LaCrosse. The 3.6-liter V6 is likely to carry on, although a smaller, budget-minded offering is also extremely likely (we'll eat our hat if it's not the 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder from the Regal, Verano and Cadillac CTS et al.).
J.D. Power customer survey of dealers counts Cadillac, Buick as big winners
Mon, 14 Apr 2014Cadillac and Buick have taken the trophies in J.D. Power's latest Customer Service Index Study examining satisfaction with dealer service. Surveying more than 90,000 owners and lessees of 2009-2013 model-year cars, the study found that those with pre-paid maintenance packages were ten percent more likely to buy their next car from the same brand.
Dealer satisfaction scores have improved overall, Cadillac nabbed the luxury segment ahead of Audi and Lexus, taking the crown that Lexus held last year. Buick keeps the mass-market dealer satisfaction win in the family, finishing ahead of Volkswagen and last year's winner GMC. The study also found that service department use of tablets increased customer satisfaction, as did "best practices" like "providing helpful advice." Who knew?
You can find details on those and more findings in the press release below.
GM China President says automaker could export vehicles from China to US
Sat, 20 Apr 2013At a press conference on Saturday at the Shanghai Motor Show, General Motors announced plans to further expand its presence in the Chinese market. Among those commitments are plans to build four new plants by the end of 2015, giving the automaker the capacity to produce around five million vehicles a year in the country.
In order to make the most of that expansion, GM is adding 400 dealerships in China this year alone (for a total of 4,200 sales points), and it's eyeing 5,100 dealers by 2015. Yet not all of that production will stay in China - GM is planning to increase exports as well. Officials estimate the company will export somewhere between 100,000 and 130,000 Chinese-built vehicles this year - a record. And it's gunning for more.
Autoblog asked GM China president Bob Socia (above) if that means the company might eventually export new vehicles built in China to the United States, and he responded:
