1998 Buick Riviera Base Coupe 2-door 3.8l on 2040-cars
Jackson, Michigan, United States
|
I have a beautiful 1998 Buick Riviera, loaded with every option, including a moonroof. Silver metallic exterior and silver leather interior. The supercharged 3800 V6 under the hood is in perfect mechanical condition and runs great. There are no mechanical problems with this car - I've had any problem fixed professionally by a reputable shop, right down to the tiniest leak. It leaks nothing and uses no fluids. It has four brand new tires on it, with a new alignment. The transmission was flushed and serviced at the same time, and shifts as it should. This motor and transmission are known to run easily over 250K miles, and more if properly maintained. The car has plenty of power, and respectable gas mileage, and is very dependable. The front wheel drive and new tires make this car amazing in the snow.
If you're familiar with these cars, you're aware that they are prone to the cradle (which holds the engine, etc. in place) rusting out. This car has none of that - the shop said that it was incredibly clean, and perhaps the cleanest they've seen. It has 176K miles, but you wouldn't know it. It drives like a new car, and is very comfortable. There are a couple very minor dents in the body, as you would expect from a car of this age. The paint is nice, but not perfect, with some minor scuffs in the clear coat that are hard to notice. The passenger door handle is quirky, and the mechanism should be replaced. For an offer near the asking price, I will have this fixed. The heater control recently became intermittent, but both heat and A/C work very well. Overall, this is a very nice example of an American luxury sport coupe that drives great. These cars are getting very hard to find in this condition. Thanks for your time. |

2015 Buick Verano gets styling tweak, loses 6-speed manual
Fri, 06 Jun 2014Well, all good things must come to an end. For 2015, the Buick Verano's experiment with a manual transmission will cease, as the American manufacturer has announced it will discontinue the 6MT in the turbocharged version of its compact sedan. According to Buick, the take rate on the Verano Turbo 6MT was (unsurprisingly) low, leading to its discontinuation.
That's not the only bit of news for the Verano, though. After a few years on the market, Buick has seen fit to refresh the popular sedan. The visual changes aren't huge, really, with subtle tweaks to the headlights and taillights. We'd bargain that the average passer-by wouldn't notice a difference between the two.
The main aesthetic change is a new appearance package, available on the mid-range Convenience and Leather option groups. Unimaginatively called just that - Appearance Package - it offers up a new paint color, Desert Dusk Metallic, as well as a grille treatment and a rear spoiler. The new package is, however, limited to naturally aspirated models.
Buick Adam a reality after all... but only in China
Mon, 03 Mar 2014General Motors may have parred down its brand portfolio, but it still has more under its umbrella than most. That's why, while a company like Ford might market the same vehicle under its own name in markets around the world, GM uses different brands in different markets. But no two are aligned quite as closely as Opel in Europe and Buick in the United States and China.
What we know here as the Buick Regal is sold overseas as the Opel Insignia. Our Encore is their Mokka. Verano? Astra sedan. But one thing we don't get here is the Opel Adam. The diminutive city car is GM's take on the Mini Cooper, Fiat 500, Citroën DS3 et al. Launched at the 2012 Paris Motor Show, the Opel Adam is named after the company's founder (like an ironic thumbing of the nose to the Ferrari Enzo). But while it's sold, like most Opels, in the UK as a Vauxhall, the prospect of it porting over to Buick seems slim to none. Right?
Sorta. While the Adam isn't likely to come Stateside, the latest reports (as yet unconfirmed by GM) suggest that The General is planning to sell the Adam in China where the Buick brand is also a strong seller. Local production could ensue, with prices targeting the Fiat 500 and engines - according to CarNewsChina.com - to include inline-fours displacing 1.2 and 1.4 liters with 69 and 100 horsepower, respectively.
Buick Envision spied fully disrobed in China
Wed, 27 Aug 2014The Buick Envision crossover is supposed to have its big reveal on August 28 and be on display at the Chengdu Motor Show, but apparently the new midsize crossover just can't wait to meet its public. Car News China caught a completely undisguised example parking outside of the convention center where the show is held.
The Buick designers are going right down the middle with the styling with nothing too flashy to turn off potential buyers. Still, it's a handsome CUV that kind of looks like a stretched Encore from some angles with vents along the hood, a large greenhouse and a prominent crease running down the side.
This new midsizer is hitting the Chinese market first and reportedly rides on GM's Delta platform that's also found underneath the Buick Verano. According to Car News China, prices there are between 160,000 yuan and 220,000 yuan ($26,000 - $35,800 at current rates). However, it's also rumored to eventually make its way across the Pacific to give Buick buyers in the US an option between the Encore compact crossover and larger Enclave.
