Body is straight, no bondo and no rust holes, some bubbling starting in a couple of places down low just in the last 2 years. Couple of areas had paint chips that started some surface rust, and need repainted. See pics. I've never driven in on salt or snow, no winters at all. But we have wet ground 6 months out of the year, and it has sat out 1-2 winters on gravel. Needs front bumper fillers now, drivers seat has a spilt and needs headliner, analog dash.

After several inquiries about possible hidden rust, let me add more details to calm your concerns. This car is a rust-free car with NO bondo anywhere. I've owned hundreds of Indiana cars and several of these. I know the weak spots. That's why I have an extra pair of rust-free doors and trunklid, NOT selling with the car (unless winning bidder wants them) I bought this car in 97 with 94k miles on it and it was rock solid then with NO rust anywhere and a perfect body and had been repainted a few years earlier (nice original white paint again) likely due to the clearcoat peeling as that was common on mid-80's cars. I've been thru EVERY inch of this car over all the years I've owned it and never saw 1 sign it was ever wrecked or had any bondo anywhere (thus the clearcoat theory) I'm a BIG car guy and know cars and paint and rusted car issues. I drove it on the street the first few years (weather permitting) but never in the winter so it has NOT seen snow, salt since I've owned it. I garaged it every winter (and many summers until 2 years ago. The body was perfect then and only developed a couple of bubbling spots over the past 2 years from sitting outside with a cover over it (not fastened to the ground so air could get under it) on gravel. Two spots of paint bubbling emerged last year the size of a quarter at the bottom of the left quarter, but you can access the back side of those areas from the wheelhouse and see there is no rust emerging from the backside. I've seen bubbling like this before from poor adhesion of the primer. The frame is rustfree and perfect. The trunk is also rustfree and perfect everwhere (looks practically new). The floorboards seem perfect but the passenger side front is getting weak from a leaky window or windshield and dampness under the carpet (never did see exactly where the trouble was. From 99 on it's just seen occasional track action. The doors are solid on the bottom edge where they normally rust out. The trunk lid is solid along the bottom inside edge where they rust out. Both are starting to get some rust stains emerging from the welds at the bottom inside seams and will only get worse if not garaged, thus the reason for selling. The car has a few dings and chips that have surface rust starting and needs garaged. My garage spaces are full of Mopars, 68 Camaro and 69 427 Vette so SOMETHINGS gotta give. I can't bear the thought of my beloved Turbo Regal rusting away outside another day. That's the ONLY reason I'm selling it. I don't need money. I HATE Indiana weather. I value my Ebay reputation tremendously as I sell often on here and have sold several cars and MANY motorcycles by giving accurate, detailed descriptions but avoid giving opinions, thus the flawless feedback score of many years and many transactions.. You will find nicer things about this car than you expected and some things not at nice. I try to describe as much as possible in order of importance with the limited time and space here, but can't describe every inch. Use the "ask seller a question" if I missed something important to you. Hope that helps.
On Mar-11-13 at 03:13:10 PDT, seller added the following information:
I have decided to include the extra R & L doors complete with glass and electric window motors and mirrors. They are rustfree and straight. Also included with sale is a rustfree trunklid with center section of the GN spoiler. Also included is a pair of rustfree front fenders, a perfect grill, a GN front bumper(lighttweight aluminum brace) a perfect hood insulator and some other misc parts.

Buick resurrects the Electra nameplate on a science fiction-like electric concept
Tue, Sep 29 2020Buick plans to broaden its range of electric cars in the coming years, and it still owns the rights to the heritage-laced Electra nameplate, so it was only a matter of time before the past and the future met head-on. Buick resurrected the name it used between the 1959 and 1990 model years on a futuristic, battery-powered concept car. Created by a Shanghai-based design studio, the Electra concept takes the form of either a tall sedan or a low crossover, depending on your perspective. While it's not officially a preview of an upcoming production model, it ushers in a design language named Potential Energy that will permeate most of the electric cars the firm will release during the 2020s. It's inspired by a space capsule, according to Buick, so its greenhouse was drawn to resemble a glass pod. Its surfaces are sculpted but not chiseled, and its front fascia wears LED lights with a three-dimensional effect. Fear not: Stylists didn't forget the seemingly obligatory back-lit emblem. Butterfly doors provide access to the cabin, where the space capsule theme continues. Buick packed the Electra with cutting-edge technology features, but it concealed them rather well to avoid a tech overload. The driver faces a rectangular steering wheel that retracts when it's not needed, behind which is a wide, curved screen that replaces all of the buttons, knobs, and switches normally found in a car's interior. An electric motor is far more compact than a comparable four- or six-cylinder engine, so designers were able to carve out a generously sized interior. Engineers embedded technology into the Electra from the project's earliest stage. It's equipped with software named eConnect that supports over-the-air updates, provides on-demand information about a specific trip, and gives details about the various electronic driving aids. An artificial intelligence-powered assistant lets users perform various tasks, such as setting the air conditioning or controlling home devices, with voice commands. Buick noted the Electra offers about 410 miles of driving range thanks in part to the Ultium battery technology developed by General Motors to power a wide selection of electric models, including the Cadillac Lyriq, the GMC Hummer, and a pair of Honda-badged models scheduled to go on sale for the 2024 model year.
J.D. Power: Mini, Lexus again offer most satisfying sales experience
Thu, 29 Nov 2012JD Power has released its annual Sales Satisfaction Index Study, and once again Mini and Lexus have taken top honors. Overall, buyers are more satisfied with the auto-buying sales experience than they were last year, with those surveyed reporting an average score of 664 points on a 1,000-point scale. That's up from 648 in 2011. Dealer satisfaction also increased by five points over last year as well.
All told, Lexus brought home an index score of 737, which was high enough to put it atop the luxury brands for the second year in a row. JD Power says Infiniti came in second in that category with a score of 728 and Cadillac rounded out the podium with it's rating of 725. Speaking of Infiniti, that brand saw the single largest jump in sales satisfaction of any brand on the survey, popping up 52 index points over 2011.
Among mass-market brands, Mini ranked highest with a score of 712, followed closely by Buick with 706 and GMC farther down the line with 683. You can check out the full press release below for more information.
Buick to kill Verano as early as 2017
Mon, May 9 2016The Buick Verano's days are allegedly numbered. Citing unnamed sources, Automotive News is reporting that Buick will kill its Delta-platform-based sedan. The company offered the typical "no comment." According to AN, Buick is expecting 70 percent of its sales to come from the Encore, Envision, and Enclave once the Envision goes on sale. And it doesn't take a professor of economics to recognize that when half the vehicles you build account for just 30 percent of the sales, it's time to trim. But the case for killing the Verano is a weird one, because the problem isn't a lack of demand. Struggling sales might be the reason to kill a car, but the Verano is – and has consistently been – Buick's second best-selling sedan. It's beaten the slightly larger, more expensive Regal by at least 12,000 units in each of the last four years. Hell, in 2013, Buick sold 45,000 Veranos to fewer than 19,000 Regals. So why not kill the Regal? Well, the Verano's raison d'etre is irrelevant today. Buick launched its smallest sedan at a time when premium compact four-doors weren't a thing and gas prices were high enough that consumers were still hesitant to tie themselves to a CUV's fuel bill. And while it was roughly the same size as the Chevrolet Cruze that it shared GM's Delta platform with, it had enough unique equipment to stand apart and warrant its price premium. Today, fuel prices are cheap and consumers are flocking to crossovers while Buick is stuck sharing the premium compact pie with much more prestigious names ( Mercedes-Benz and Audi). And because it's sharing showroom space with the super-popular Encore, even the Verano's affordable pricing has become a liability. Today, a lightly equipped Verano is the same price as a base Encore, and they offer broadly similar features (rear-view cameras, a seven-inch touchscreen with Intellilink, Bluetooth, etc.). And if the Encore is too small, there's probably a GMC Terrain sitting in the same showroom, offering more utility and equal equipment to the Verano for a similar price. As one dealer told AN, "For not much more money, customers can get an SUV." Killing the Verano might risk 30,000 to 40,000 sales, but it's a move that proves Buick has tremendous confidence in its CUV lineup – clearly the company thinks the Encore can do the job of luring customers into showrooms. AN's sources claim the Verano will survive through 2017, so we'll be waiting a few years to find out if that faith is misplaced. Related Video:
