The rims are lexani 22 inch rims with continental tires. Ok so here is some things that are minor, but u should know paint has some chips and scratches and the bumpers need the plastic cap gasket that snap in. The old ones where removed when the bumpers where re chromed. There is a dent in the rear quarter panel. . The back window needs a quarter window chrome peace for the window. The passenger side has one and not the drivers side i All of the windows are power and work great and they need a slight adjustment as far as how they slide into the new gaskets we installed. The owner before me replaced the floor pans and had the name yo buck embroidered into the head rest.and he removed the A/C compressor,when he rebuilt the motor, but all of the A/c lines are still in places.

The rims ride pretty smooth also and if you wanted to change them back to the originals it would cost around 800 with tires and you could sell these for a lot more. Ok so thats all the good and bad and this is the condition of the sale if you have a low score or no score please contact me before bidding and there will be a $ 1,000 deposit at the end of the auction. If you need the car shipped i can help with driving the car up on the car transport trailer and it will be up to you to make the arrangement with the shipping company.. I also wanted to place this in the ad that if you are planning on buying this car for a student in school please understand this car has a lot of power and needs to be expressed to them for there safety and others and hot rodding will only tear the car up and it's meant to cruise in. well other than that very fun car and nothing like dropping the top and hitting the road on a sunny day to cruise around listing to the rumble of an old muscle car.. Please feel free to ask any questions and if u need pictures of something i missed send me a message and ill get a picture to you. I am up for cash offers as well. The car will be up for sale in the local area and if it is sold that will end any auction in progress.!

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.).
Opel Cascada is Europe's Buick convertible [w/video]
Wed, 17 Oct 2012As we reported earlier, there has been much speculation regarding a Buick convertible of sorts. The most ringing endorsement of this conjecture comes today from General Motors Europe, as the new Opel Cascada has debuted on the interwebs. Opel calls the four-passenger Cascada an "athletic, glamorous midsize convertible." With a length of 4,697mm (185 in.), the Cascada is as long as an Audi A5, to which GM has said it would be slightly larger.
The Cascada, which is Spanish for waterfall, features a cloth convertible top that retracts in 17 seconds and at speeds up to 50 km/h (31 mph). The Cascada features a 1.4-liter turbo gas engine, 2.0-liter turbodiesel with 165 horsepower and a range-topping 1.6-liter turbocharged Ecotec engine that puts out 170 horsepower and 280 Nm (207 lb-ft). Power is sent through either a six-speed manual or six-speed automatic transmission.
According to GM, the Cascada will also come rife with luxury and tech features. In addition to adaptive forward lighting and ergonomic heated front seats, the convertible will feature Opel Eye, which is a front camera that can recognize traffic signs and incorporates lane departure warning and forward collision alert.
GM throttles back Chevy Malibu, Buick LaCrosse production over swollen inventories
Wed, 06 Feb 2013As inventory of the Chevrolet Malibu and Buick LaCrosse continues to pile up, General Motors will be idling its Fairfax Assembly Plant for two weeks, according to Automotive News. This move comes about a month after the plant was shut down for three weeks in late December and early January for the same reason. As of January 31, the GM had a 94-day supply of Malibu stock while the LaCrosse was a little worse with a 117-day supply.
Just last week, GM announced that it would be investing $600 million in upgrading this plant, but it's unclear what future plans the company has in store for Fairfax considering slow sales of both the plant's models. We do expect a refreshed and more luxurious LaCrosse shortly and an early design update for the Malibu to be announced at some point this year, although we have had no official word as to when either will happen.
