Well I really don't want to sell this car, and thought I never would but as they say life will throw you a curve in a heart beat, and it did. I have to let go of my beautiful 1987 Buick Grand National with only 33,214 miles on motor and tranny all professionally built by a master Buick mechanic !!! Body has 128,xxx I mean just the body, and it doesn't look it at all...... I'm flat out telling you , you will not find a nicer and more reliable, and faster grand national for the money anywhere !!!! This car is a beast and still has ice cold A/C and gets 26 mpg all day long !!! This is a true Grand National ,,not a clone. I cant believe some of the ads I see of people wanting 13k to 15,000 for a rusty ragged out GN just because its a true GN..... There almost all beat up and rode hard and this one is not... It runs and drives like brand new !!!! Looks great and is mechanically sound...I would trust this car right now to hop in it and drive clear across country with no problems at all !!! OK here has what's been done to the car in the last 5 years and now only has 33k miles on her:

The motor ran fine but was just a little tired so we freshened it up bit...
He pulled the motor and cleaned the whole block, put in brand new pistons, rings, rods, valves, springs, new crank, new cam, new lifters, all new gaskets ect..... everything is brand new and we used all OEM GM Parts.... like I said now the car has 33,214 miles so you know there's no bugs to worry about she runs like brand new !!!!
The transmission was gone through with all new clutch packs, new converter, all new fluid, and very mild shift kit....The cars shifts smooth and nice !!! We did all new brakes, new rear end gears3;42, new shocks, new u joints, new plugs, wires, new water pump, new timing set ect.....

The paint looks really good.... I would say 8 out of 10 !!! If you wanted to car to be considered mint cond I would paint it, but other wise she's fine LOOKS GREAT !! Still shines !!
The interior of the car looks super good !! No tears, no rips, no fading the carpet is like brand new no stains,,, nothing !!! All gauges , lights , ect....all work perfect !!
The car right now is set at 17 psi and will throw you in your seat !!
I don't really know what else to say its just a beautiful 1987 Buick that has been well, well cared for and you search and search all over and never find one for the money that runs, drives, and looks like this one !!!

I guarantee the first person that comes to see this car in person and drives it will buy it on the spot , so hurry if you want it !!! I do not want to trade for anything, and I will not hold the car while you get money together ok, so please have the money to buy it before you call me..

The 10 car brands cheapest to maintain over 10 years

Mon, Apr 22 2024

Buying a car can be fun and bring a lot of freedom, but things can go sideways when it comes time for repairs. Some car brands are better than others, however, and Consumer Reports recently ranked the least- and most-expensive brands for owners to repair. There are few surprises on this list, but the cheapest new car and the runner-up might come as a shock. Tesla and Buick were the cheapest new car brands to maintain and repair over 10 years, followed by Toyota, Lincoln, and Ford. 10 car brands cheapest to maintain over the next 10 years: Tesla: $4,035 Buick: $4,900 Toyota: $4,900 Lincoln: $5,040 Ford: $5,400 Chevrolet: $5,550 Hyundai: $5,640 Nissan: $5,700 Mazda: $5,800 Honda: $5,850 Consumer Reports noted that maintenance costs for some brands can look deceiving, as many offer free maintenance for a period after the purchase. New-car warranties also play a role, with the powertrain coverage spanning four or five years and 50,000 or 60,000 miles, depending on the company. It's also worth noting that Tesla only sells EVs, which don't require engine air filters, oil changes, and some other routine maintenance, lowering their average costs. Related: Cheapest electric cars Cheapest SUVs The most expensive brands to maintain might not come as a surprise, but the costs associated with owning them might. Land Rover was the worst, at $19,250 over 10 years, while Porsche came in second at $14,090. Mercedes-Benz’s average costs were $10,525 and AudiÂ’s $9,890. While this suggests that these brands need more frequent repairs over the 10-year period, it also points to higher labor and parts costs for the European automakers. If you own one of the more expensive brands to maintain and youÂ’re worrying as you read this, there are a few things you can do to prolong your vehicleÂ’s life and minimize unnecessary maintenance costs. The first is to follow the automakerÂ’s suggested maintenance periods, changing your oil, rotating tires, and doing all the “boring” stuff before it becomes a problem. ItÂ’s also a good idea to take care with the way you drive, avoiding potholes, accelerating gently, and trying not to abuse your brakes. Finally, donÂ’t modify your vehicle. Car companies spend billions on research and development, and most know better about how a vehicle is meant to operate than you do in your garage with third-party parts.

2024 Buick Envista Cupholder Mega Test: Will the Nalgene bottle fit?

Wed, Jul 19 2023

Buick has launched its newest, most-affordable vehicle. The 2024 Buick Envista slots below the Encore GX, starts below $25,000 and is a comfortable and quiet thing. It looks pretty good, too, I think. You can read all about it in my first drive review, and if you have, you've probably been wondering, "Well, what about the cupholders? Will my goofily large water bottle fit?" Despite water being provided on the drive, as you can see from the disposable bottles in the background of these photos, I went through a liter of diet cola from my Nalgene water bottle on the cross-town trek to the event, so it came along for the drive with me. Up front, we've got a pair of cupholders in a fore/aft orientation. They look fairly typical in every way, including size, which doesn't bode well for the 'gene. I could feel the dull disappointment as I lowered the bottle toward the cupholder. Indeed, it doesn't fit.  At first glance, the front door pocket looks like it could work. That little divider is worrisome, though. Adsheartlikins! So close. As you can see in the video further below, after staunchly rejecting the Nalgene, a second attempt shows it'll slip in just a little bit, but not enough to properly hold the thing. The front occupants, it appears, are out of options. But what about the people in the back? There are no cupholders on the back of the center console, nor is there a center armrest to fold down from the seat. Straight to the door pocket it is. The rear door pocket looks like a shortened version of the ones up front. Inauspicious, but we still have to cross our fingers and check it. No surprises here. Just more disappointment. So while the rear passengers can enjoy a healthy amount of legroom, they can't enjoy a more-than-healthy amount of water from their Nalgene unless they hold it or let it roll around on the floor. I still liked the Envista, though. It's worth a look if you want a budget car that doesn't feel cheap.

Neil Young to auction model train collection, classic cars

Thu, Nov 2 2017

LOS ANGELES — Rock singer Neil Young is selling some of his most prized possessions — part of his model train and classic car collections. The Canadian folk-rock star is putting more than 230 of his vast collection of Lionel trains and some of his cars up for auction in Los Angeles in December. Some of the trains have estimated selling prices of up to $9,000, Julien's Auctions said on Thursday. Young, 71, known for his Woodstock-era songs as well as "Ohio," "Heart of Gold" and many, many others, has been a passionate model train enthusiast for more than 20 years. His collection and vast layouts at his California ranch took off in the early 1990s as a means of connecting with his son Ben, who has cerebral palsy, Young said. Young is also selling some of his classic car collection. They include: A first-in-production 1953 Buick Roadmaster Skylark convertible 50th anniversary special edition, with a steering wheel hub saying "customized for Neil Young," that has a pre-auction estimate of $200,000 to $300,000. A 1954 Cadillac Fleetwood Imperial eight-passenger limousine (estimate $30,000-$40,000) with the Cadillac crest styled "Broken Arrow" emblem on the rear passenger door, referring to both the Buffalo Springfield song and his ranch of the same name in Portola Valley, Calif. A 1948 Buick Roadmaster Hearse built by Flxible (estimate: $8,000-$10,000) used by Young and his band, The Squires, to haul equipment to gigs in the early 1960's. Dubbed "Mortimer," it's decorated with backstage passes and bumper stickers, and it inspired Young's song "Long May You Run." A 1941 Chrysler Series 28 Windsor Highlander two-door, three-person coupe (estimate: $15,000-$20,000), considered Chrysler's most prestigious model in its day. (For a closer look at Young's lifetime interest in cars, here's a New York Times interview from 2012, which includes an anecdote about the time he ate road tar. Or his memoir "Special Deluxe: A Memoir of Life & Cars," in which he recounts every car he ever owned, and describes how he wrote the lyrics for "Like a Hurricane" in the back of a friend's 1950 DeSoto. He promoted the book in this NPR interview. He also tipped us off to the return of the Lincoln Continental, and is known for his LincVolt plug-in biodiesel 1960 Lincoln.) As for Young's train collection, he designed a remote control that allows multiple trains to run at once, and a device that delivers realistic railroad audio to help his son get the most of out the hobby.
