1959 Buick Invicta Two Door Hardtop. This is a very original, 79000 mile, Buick. It has the original 445 Wildcat engine with a stated horsepower rating at 325, as well as the complete original drive train. It drives perfectly and is very powerful. The paint is original (please look closely at the original paint in the photos), it is in very good to excellent condition. The color combination is "Arctic White" over "Lido Lavender."Again, please look closely at all of the photos. This is excellent running, original car and should be in a museum or antique car collection. All the glass is good, it runs perfectly, and can be driven anywhere. If you wanted, you could fly into Salt Lake City, and drive home in this original Buick Invicta. I have the original title in hand, as well as the original owner's manual, and service records. The original Firestone spare is still in the trunk. The original carpets are in good shape and it has a perfect headliner. It has new brakes, a new battery, and a recent tuneup. The body is very straight. The doors, hood, and trunk lid open and close like a new car. The trunk rubber seal and the door seals are in very good condition. The wide white wall tires have excellent tread. The window cranks roll up and down smoothly, and it is difficult to imagine that this Buick Invicta is over 50 years old. If you have any questions about the Buick, please feel comfortable messaging me or calling. My phone number is (801) 745-5835. I would be glad to talk with you about the Buick.

I highly value my 100% positive feedback rating on Ebay and I want to be sure the new owner knows exactly what they are getting. With this in mind, I will list the very few minor issues I have found with the car. 1. The seat covers look original to the car and are in good condition, but I think the original seat covers might be underneath. 2. There is minor surface rust, about the size of a quarter, by the rear license plate, as well as two very small bubbles on the passenger's side front fender. There are minor dings a scratches in the chrome. They are difficult to see and hard to photograph. The car is in very good condition, but it is original and has not been restored and after fifty years, it has some minor scratches in the trim. If you have any concerns about the condition, please call me. This is easily a # 3 car and, in my opinion, a good # 2. They are only original once!

I will gladly assist the new owner in shipping the car anywhere in the world. The shipping cost is at the owner's expense, but I can store the car for a reasonable time, and I will assist the truck driver in getting the car loaded and shipped. I hope this really nice, original, Buick Invicta finds a good home.

In a recent check of the rear quarters of the car, I found another minor rust issue that I want to be sure the new owner is aware of. On the rear fender, behind the rear wheel, underneath the car, there is some bubbling in an old minor repair. The rear fenders fold underneath the car and this is were the small bubbles can be observed. It is not noticeable without crawling under the car. As I mentioned, I highly value my 100% positive feedback on Ebay. This newly discovered problem is nothing serious, but I don't want the new owner to get the car home and later discover problem areas I didn't list. It is a minor issue, and I will send photos if needed. The floors are in excellent shape from the trunk to the front of the car. There is still original undercoating on the floors and they are absolutely dry and rust free. There is original paint still on the frame rails.

Consumer Reports says infotainment systems 'growing first-year reliability plague'

Mon, 27 Oct 2014

The Consumer Reports Annual Auto Reliability Survey (right) is out, and the top two spots look much the same as last year's list with Lexus and Toyota in first and second place, respectively. However, there are some major shakeups for 2014, with Acura plunging eight spots from third in 2013 to 11th this year, and Mazda replaces it on the lowest step of the podium. Honda and Audi round out the top five. This year's list includes six Japanese brands in the top 10, two Europeans, one America and one Korean.
Acura isn't the only one taking a tumble, though. Infiniti is the biggest loser this year by dropping 14 spots to 20th place. Other big losses come from Mercedes-Benz with an 11-place fall to 24th, and GMC, which declines 10 positions to 19th.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, it's not traditional mechanical bugs hauling down these automaker's reliability scores. Instead, pesky problems with infotainment systems are taking a series toll on the rankings. According to Consumer Reports, complaints about "in-car electronics" were the most grumbled about element in new cars. Problem areas included things like unresponsive touchscreens, issues pairing phones and multi-use controllers that refused to work right.

GM recalling 250,000 SUVs over door electronics

Mon, 20 Aug 2012

After a door-fire investigation that dates back to February, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has officially announced a recall today that affects around 250,000 General Motors SUVs for a faulty driver's door module. The recall applies to the Buick Rainier, Chevrolet Trailblazer, GMC Envoy, Isuzu Ascender and Saab 9-7X from the 2006 and 2007 model years, as well as the 2006 Chevrolet Trailblazer EXT and GMC Envoy XL for vehicles sold and/or registered in the Snow Belt.
Road salt use in these midwestern and northern states can lead to corrosion of the driver's door module on these GMT360 and GMT370 vehicles, which allows water to come in contact with the circuit board. If shorted out, the vehicle's power door locks and power windows will not work, and could possibly lead to overheating and, in some circumstances, a fire. No official word on how many total vehicles caught on fire, but back in June, 28 fires had been reported to the government agency. A fix for the problem is still being worked out, but all affected vehicle owners will be notified by GM.

Buick Envision Plus is a seven-seater tweener developed for China

Tue, Apr 20 2021

Buick has filled the gap separating the Envision and the Enclave with a new crossover named Envision Plus. Launched at the Shanghai auto show, the three-row people-mover is scheduled to go on sale in China later in 2021. The plus-sized Envision stretches 190.7 inches long, 74.1 inches wide, and 66.7 inches tall, figures that make it around eight inches longer and two inches taller than the regular Envision. It's also a full 14 inches shorter, four inches narrower, and three inches lower than the Enclave, which is the biggest crossover in the Buick range. Designers didn't settle for stretching the Envision's wheelbase. They gave the Plus a more upright front end characterized by a taller grille, a flatter and longer roofline, and a redesigned rear end accented by a strip of bright trim that connects the lights. Only photos of the upscale Avenir trim (shown above) have been published so far. Images of the cabin are not available yet. We expect the Plus offers an interior close to the standard Envision's — from the driver's point of view, at least. The biggest difference is that the longer Envision lives up to its name by letting motorists take more gear or kids along for the ride thanks to a more spacious trunk and third-row seats. Power for the Envision Plus comes from a turbocharged, 2.0-liter EcoTec four-cylinder engine fitted with 48-volt mild-hybrid technology. Bolted to a nine-speed automatic transmission, the turbo-four is the same basic engine found in the American-spec Envision, where it develops 228 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, but figures for the Plus weren't released. Front- and all-wheel-drive models will presumably be available. Buick will release pricing information closer to the model's on-sale date. As of writing, the Envision Plus has only been announced for China, where it will be built, but unverified reports claim it will arrive in American showrooms before the end of 2021. We've reached out to the company, and we'll update this story if we learn more. 2021 Buick Verano Pro GS View 5 Photos What else did Buick show in Shanghai? Buick no longer sells sedans in America, but it remains present in that segment on the Chinese market. In addition to the Envision Plus, it unveiled a model named Verano Pro developed specifically for China, built locally, and aimed at relatively young buyers. At launch, motorists will be asked to choose between the regular sedan and a sportier-looking variant that wears the storied GS emblem.
