1998 Buick Century Limited Sedan 4-door 3.1l on 2040-cars
Memphis, Tennessee, United States
***PLEASE NOTE THAT I WILL NOT ACCEPT PAYMENT VIA PAYPAL UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE*** *****Also note that the AutoCheck is incorrect. I am the only owner this vehicle has ever had, despite the report stating otherwise some unknown reason. I have filed a complaint with AutoCheck and am awaiting their response. Also worth noting is the "accident" noted on the report. It was merely a 1 mph bump at a red light. I called the police just as a precaution. The only damage was a few scrapes, and I had the bumper professionally repainted to look just like new again. So please rest assured that this car has never suffered any meaningful accident damage. ***** Up for sale is a ONE OWNER (me) 1998 Buick Century Limited. That’s
right, my name and address are the only ones that have ever graced the title of
this car. It is finished in beautiful Jasper Green Metallic paint with sumptuous
Taupe Leather interior. It has Only 47,791 original miles. You
are reading that correctly – this car is a time warp that you do not see very
often. I checked off the options sheet when I ordered my Buick with
the: Popular Option Package; Premium Option Package; Body Side Stripes; Carpet
Savers in front and rear; Electrochromic rearview mirror; Heated Body Color Exterior
Mirrors; Cruise Control, Rear Window integrated Antenna; the Premium sound
system; Jasper Green Metallic Paint, and Taupe Leather. These option packages
entailed many niceties such as dual electronic climate control, dual power
seats, cruise control, high-end Concert Sound II stereo system with CD player, a
Tape player, and steering wheel controls as well. In addition it has anti-lock
brakes, dual airbags, 4 wheel disc brakes, aluminum alloy wheels, automatic
headlights and dimming interior courtesy lights. My Buick has been thoroughly
maintained throughout its entire life. Recently I serviced the car with a brand
new battery, new starter, new water pump, new front & rear brakes, and the fluids
were replaced as well. It runs great, idles superbly smooth, passes inspection,
and sips gas. I have both keys, both keyless entry fobs, and even the valet key
still. My Buick has been garaged for all but 2 of its 16 year life
span, and it has never seen snow. The car has never been smoked in, I can count
on one hand how many times the back seat has had a passenger, and the trunk has
never seen anything but a rolling bag. Why am I selling it? Because my wife inherited her
grandmother’s 2003 Lexus ES300 with low miles on it about 2 year ago.
Therefore, the Lexus has taken the place of the Buick as our reserve/airport car.
I simply have not had the time to fool with selling the Buick despite the
occasional consideration to go to CarMax for an offer. Additionally, it’s been
difficult to part with the Buick considering how well it has served us and the
fact that I have owned it since ordering from the factory. What’s wrong with it? A few things - mainly due to being
kicked out of the third garage spot by the Lexus. There are typical bumps and
scratches on the sides and bumpers due to airport parking garages over the
years, but it still presents very well do to its extensive years of being under
cover. A tree limb fell during a storm
last year and dented the driver door and the hood (as you can see in the
pictures). The interior rear view mirror has developed some cloudiness that I
can only attribute to the sun. The screen for the automatic climate control
does not display anything, but all functions still work correctly (this is very
strange to me and I wonder if regular use would “wake” the screen back up).
There seems to be a coolant leak, but the origin is unknown. My yard man thinks
it’s probably just an old radiator hose or even a worn out radiator cap. The
car still runs just fine though. Thank you for looking at my car. It is truly is an
exceptional example of the Buick Century mark, and its new owner will
understand immediately just how well it has been cared for. I welcome any
questions you may have and sincerely appreciate your consideration in viewing
my advertisement. |

Buick Envision CUV displays full-frontal nudity
Tue, 22 Jul 2014Earlier this month, Shanghai GM gave us a glimpse of the production version of the Buick Envision concept revealed at the Shanghai Motor Show back in 2011. And now it's released the first unveiled shot and initial details of the crossover to slot in the considerable gap between the Encore and Enclave.
The new Envision is set later this year to reach Chinese showrooms, where it will be called the Ang Ke Wei, after which we're expecting it to arrive Stateside. The production-ready Envision is about the size of the Chevrolet Equinox or GMC Terrain, but is differentiated by a more upscale treatment and Buick's signature waterfall grille, flanked by Xenon headlamps and LED running lights and riding on 19-inch wheels.
Power comes from GM's familiar 2.0-liter turbo four with direct injection and stop/start ignition, driving 256 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque through a six-speed automatic transmission to all four wheels. That's about all that GM's Chinese operation has announced at this point - it's not even clear what platform the vehicle is on - but you can check out the press release for yourself below.
GM delivers best Q3 sales since 1980, 2.4M vehicles sold
Wed, 15 Oct 2014People are a weird sort. Even after registering over 70 recalls through the first three-quarters of 2014, General Motors saw its best Q3 results since Jimmy Carter was in the White House, registering over 2.4 million global sales between June and September on the back of strong results in the US and China.
US sales were marshaled by good results for GM's pickups, the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra, which bumped the manufacturer's truck market share to 35.6 percent, up nearly three points from Q1 2014. Buick has seen healthy growth as well, with the Encore dominating its segment for the sixth month running.
It was China, though, that really bolstered GM's sales, as the company's efforts to top last year's record-setting 3.16 million units continued apace. Small SUV sales saw massive growth, with Encore, Chevrolet Trax and Captiva figures jumping 90 percent in Q3. Brand-wise, Chevrolet, Cadillac and Buick all saw sales gains in the PRC, with each recording double-digit year-over-year jumps. Cadillac sales alone were up 63 percent compared to the first nine months of 2013.
eBay Find Of The Day: 1946 Tucker Torpedo Prototype II hides a secret Riviera
Thu, 10 Jul 2014The Tucker Torpedo is one of the great what-if stories of automotive history. Preston Tucker hoped to revolutionize the industry with a car unlike any other on the road at the time. However, due to a variety of problems, he only managed build 51 vehicles before closing shop. Over time, they have become highly sought-after; In 2012, one sold for $2.65 million at auction.
That brings us to this Tucker "replica" that you see above because it might be one of the ugliest monstrosities ever put together. However, we might extend some leniency to the creator, as the vehicle isn't actually trying to replicate the classic look of the 1948 Tucker Torpedo. Instead, it is attempting to reproduce an earlier prototype from 1946 that actually features that weird, trident nose. According to the seller, his uncle built the car as a labor of love and supposedly used actual plans from Tucker as inspiration.
Underneath all of the crazy changes is a 1971 Buick Riviera powered by a 455-cubic-inch (7.5-liter) Buick V8. Some of the replica's odder modifications include the front fenders that turn with the wheels and the fin running down the back. All three headlights work, but the one in the middle is only for the high beams. Oddly, the small hinged sections on the roof are meant to open to avoid hitting your head when getting in or out. Maybe the seller's uncle was a very tall guy?
