Overview

This is a true Grand National made to look like a GNX. Badging is only on the front grill and rear bumper as the GNXs were done, has wheel flares, side heat extractors, GNX turbo cover, 16 inch GNX style wheels and center caps. Also has the GNX gauge cluster in dash in lieu of the original analog 0 to 85 speedometer. This car is beautiful, almost flawless, has tons of power. Very quick. I am the fourth owner and have the previous titles.

Paint/Body

The paint is 6 years old and I would rate it a 9.5. Near perfect! Original metal all around, very sound body. It has both the upper and lower front fender bracing, and the bracing behind the rear seat. Stock Grand Nationals did not come with this, and the bracing certainly helps the rigidity for the torque this car has. New GNX door sill plates.

Interior

Impeccable with the exception of a wear or thin spot on the driver's seat right where your left knee would be. Not a burn mark or stain, just thin. Can't see it in the pictures as the color still matches the rest of the gray portion of the seat. Power antenna, power windows, locks, etc., all mechanicals work as they should. T-Top bags included, regular floor mats and GNX floor mats, and original owners manual. Again, GNX style gauges with 39,500 original miles. (original gauge set up included with car) Car Fax will verify, Auto Check will add 100,000 miles to it. A New York inspection in 2004 added 100,000 miles of driving since the previous inspection in 2002. Car Fax researched it and corrected it, Auto Check would not respond.

Suspension/Exhaust

New springs and Bilstein shocks added in 2009. Hooker high flow aluminum exhaust and mufflers, cat delete. GNX 16 inch wheels with BF Goodrich g-force tires, P245/50zr front and 255/50zr back with less than 4000 miles on them. Note the GNX differential cover, but car does not have the unique GNX ladder bar suspension.

Engine/Transmission

Now for the fun stuff. Engine and transmission are original and have not been apart. In lieu of the stock 28 pound injectors are 36 pound injectors. Car also has big mouth K&N air filter, polished air plenum, larger stage III turbo bell, billet fuel pressure regulator, fuel pressure gauge on fuel rail, hot wire set up for fuel pump, 93 octane chip, new alternator and battery. Air conditioner has been converted in 2008.

Summary

You'll notice my description is very factual and to the point, so you know exactly what you are getting. In my view, this is one of the most stunning beauties you'll find. It is an extremely quick and fast car that is a blast to drive, yet has all the comfort of a Buick. The Grand Nationals came loaded with options from concert sound AM/FM/Cassette, cruise, tilt, etc. You name it. You will not be disappointed. Feel free to ask questions via eBay.

Buick Encore blitzes first-year sales predictions

Sat, 01 Mar 2014

With its first full year of sales in the bag, it's safe to say that Buick has a hit on its hands with the Encore. US buyers have snatched up 31,046 of the small, premium crossovers since the Encore went on sale in January of 2013, while 97,311 were sold globally (not counting its counterparts from Opel and Vauxhall).
While we liked the Encore when we first drove it, we'll admit, we weren't sure how the tiny CUV would do. In fact, the first thing Executive Editor Chris Paukert wrote about the Encore was, "We admit it. We have no earthly idea how this whole thing is going to shake out." But it's done well, and has been subject to heavy demand over the past year, blowing away the estimates of analysts, who, according to an August story from Automotive News, projected no more than 18,500 units would be sold in 2013.
"Right out of the gate, demand for the Encore was high," Tony DiSalle, vice president of Buick marketing said in a statement. "It accounted for most of the segment's growth last year and that's because it offers the right safety, technology and features in the right-sized vehicle for many customers."

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.
