1987 Buick Regal with 'T' package (Option code Y56), Exterior Sport Package (W02), and rare T-Tops with V8 307 Engine
I had this beautiful 87 listed last week and found out that there was an odometer error. I had bought this car last year and was told that it had 75K miles but when I checked the free car history on Ebay last week, I was astonished that the car has an extra 100K miles. To be honest, you would never know this car has mileage above 100K; it truely rides and handles like a low mileage car. My Virginia title states 75K. Has current Virginia inspection and is currently registered.
What I found out from the previous owner is the following new items for restoration in early 2009 (only 8K miles ago):
* New professional paint with two stage clear coat painted at a Chevrolet dealer
* New Weatherstripping
* New Converter
* New Front Brakes
* New Shocks
* New Radiator
* New Belts
* New Carpet
* New Headliner
* Rebuilt Transmission with Shift kit
* New turn signal lever
* New Shift Cable
* New Hood Release cable
New items in 2010 totalling $1,644 w/reciept:
* New Water pump
* New Thermostate and seal
* Upper and lower hoses
* New By pass and heater hoses
* New Master switch
New items in 2012 totalling $354 w/receipt:
* Evacuate and recharge AC system for R134 freon
* New Transmission Mount
* Replace new rear brake line
Why am I selling this beauty? I just got laid off and I need to sell it to pay bills... ;-(
Body: All panels are rust free. Needs touch-up on front drivers side filler panel. Also, has a few dings on hood.
Chrome: Nice front bumper but the top of the rear bumper has wear; see picture.
Paint: Was painted the original blue metallic at a Chevy dealer in 2009 and still shows very nice but with several chips and blemishes
Tires: Lots of tread (see pics) **has extra full size tire and aluminum rim spare in trunk**
Transmission: Was told by the previous owner that the owner before him was a mechanic and he rebuilt the transmission with a shift kit in 2009.
Motor: V8 307 Engine runs perfect with no leaks (was told motor was rebuilt from a previous owner) and does not blow any smoke.
Exhaust: Has custom duel exhaust and SOUNDS GREAT...has a nice rumble sound

2013 Buick Verano Turbo
Thu, 03 Jan 2013Not Luxury. Not Sport. Not Buick. Not Bad.
Those of you who still think of the Buick Verano as some sort of callously badge-engineered, gussied up version of the Chevrolet Cruze ("Why would anyone spend that much money on Buick's Cruze?" you may have been heard to mutter) have got the wrong idea. Entirely. Even in its most modest form, the Verano turns out to be a sedan that is feature-rich, insulated from wind and road noise in proper luxury car fashion, pretty good to drive and not bad to look at in the new school of high-nosed pedestrian-impact-regulated fashion. In a less modest form then, one that attaches the word "Turbo" to the moniker and plops a force-fed 2.0-liter four-cylinder under the hood, the Verano is downright interesting.
Of course, "interesting" is rarely a descriptor that fills one with lust - and so it goes with this example. There are two competing forces within this near-premium subcompact sedan, and the balance struck between them must resonate with any potential customer before the Verano Turbo can become a serious purchase consideration.
2013 Buick Encore
Wed, 14 Aug 2013Ignored On Arrival, But Coming On Strong
An image exists out there that perfectly conveys the fate we thought would befall the Buick Encore after its world debut at the 2012 Detroit Auto Show. The shot shows the just-unveiled Encore on stage, basking in the glow of spotlights but surrounded by a large display area that's bereft of both cars and people. Two journalists are sitting on a couch over to the side, both facing the Encore but ignoring it as they inspect their swag, and a solitary custodial engineer pushes a vacuum back and forth across a sea of gray carpet.
Like a kid with his birthday cake at a party no one came to, this little crossover's debut was largely, almost cruelly, ignored. Who can blame us, though? Two shows ago, the Motor City's main stage welcomed the redesigned Aston Martin-esque Ford Fusion, the 3 Series-assassin ATS from Cadillac and the return of Dodge to the small car game with the Dart. A fourth model for the wayward Buick brand, especially one so arguably un-Buick in form and function, did not seem to deserve the attention paid to its peers that year.
Buick asks design students 'What could a Buick sedan look like in 2030?'
Mon, 09 Jun 2014When you think of daring concept cars or emotional design-student projects, Buick probably isn't the first brand that comes to mind. It's not for lack of concepts; when General Motors ran down 11 concept-car highlights from Buick's 110-year history, three of them are from the past 15 years, with other experiments in that same timeframe like the Black Hawk, Centieme and Cielo left unmentioned.
But the company still thinks about them even if we don't. It ran a contest for students at Detroit's College for Creative Studies to create a Buick for the year 2030 that would incorporate future materials and transportation needs, and nanotechnology.
Best exterior design went to Sam Kenny for his Neo Classical Buick, Justin Salmon took honors for innovative material use, like having exposed algae on the bodyshell to generate energy, and Namsuk Lee nabbed best overall concept and best interior for his Buick Vision Sedan. You can read more about the design challenge and winners in the press release, and hear students talk about what went into the work in the video below.
