Up for auction is a 2005 Buick LeSabre Custom Sedan with 160,977 highway miles that was used regularly as a vehicle for long distance trips 
between Long Island, NY and the Washington, DC area. It's a very reliable vehicle that has been well maintained, was a non-smoker car and 
always garage kept.  The car comes equipped with a 4-speed automatic transmission, heated leather seats, traction control, CD stereo and full 
interior power features.  It has the Cashmere (dark tan) exterior and tan interior that are a great color combo. I inherited the car from my 
late Aunt Susan's estate, as she sadly passed away earlier this year from a prolonged battle with breast cancer. Title is in now in my name after
being 
transferred to me through probate.  I am selling the vehicle because I have no need for a second vehicle (simply don't drive enough miles to
justify it). 
However, I've had it checked out by a trusted local mechanic and have also been driving it twice a week to ensure it's being run regularly. 
The condition is described below in detail based on what I know.

Condition Report

This car was well maintained by my Aunt due to her regular long trips to DC as she did not want to get stuck on the highway with a breakdown. 
We were very close and talked about a lot of her trips. I only wish I could find the service records for you, not sure where they were kept. Anyway, 
this LeSabre looks great for being 8 years of age and the body is in fantastic shape, as I mentioned it was garage kept it's entire life.
The 3800 (3.8L) V6 motor is strong and powerful. If you do any research on this car, you'll find that this motor is one of the best that GM has ever
made and commonly runs for 300,000+ miles as long as the oil and engine coolant are changed at normal intervals. The car starts u
p effortlessly
every time and the transmission shifts smoothly. The 
heater heats the car up quickly and the A/C blows ice cold. The battery is still going strong
(it's a long life battery so should be good for a 
few more years). The EPA estimates the mileage at 18 mpg city/28 mpg highway.
 I have been getting 25 mpg in mixed highway and local driving.

Below, I am fully disclosing everything I observed visually on the interior and exterior of the car:

On the exterior, the Cashmere paint is in very good condition, with less than normal wear for its age, which means there are a some very minor 
exterior scratches but no dings or damage of any consequence. There isn’t any visible rust on the body either. The paint is likewise very glossy
over the entire body. The undercarriage is clean and in great condition and this car does not have any fluid drips or leaks underneath. The tires 
all have good remaining tread life (20%+), however, one of the rear tires is non-matching (General tire). All are size P215/70R15s.

On the interior, the tan front seats are still in very good shape with no holes or tears and only normal wear, as you will see in the pictures.
The rear seats are in excellent condition and hardly look worn at all. 
All of the trim panels and trim pieces are intact, tight and in great condition.
Driver's seat occasionally shifts ever so slightly on tight cornering but is hardly noticeable - may need bolt tightened. The steering wheel looks good
with only minor wear and a few tiny scratches on a few the steering wheel control buttons. All electronics, lighting, mirrors, windows, interior buttons
and switches are functioning properly except for the driver's heated seat button which is not working - passenger side heated seat is fine. I don't have
an estimate on getting the switch repaired but can't imagine it would be costly, anyway you won't need it for awhile going into Summer.
Also, the 
gauges all work except for the tachometer (RPM gauge). It's basically useless on an automatic and I remember my Aunt saying it
pegged out after 
her factory warranty expired and she never thought it was worth repairing. If it bothers you my mechanic advised the entire instrument
cluster can be sent 
out for repair at $125 parts and 1 hours of labor to remove and re-install the cluster, so ~ $200 fix.

All fluids are in good shape, nothing needs to be replaced for awhile. I just had the oil and filter changed so it's good to go for another 3000+ miles.
Front brakes have 5 mm on the pads and 4 mm on the rear brakes, so you are good there. Rear shocks need to be done soon, but you're OK driving
for now. Incidentally they are air shocks but Monroe makes a conversion kit. I can show you where to get the kit for $110 and then you would just need
to pay labor, unless you can do the work yourself. 
The floor mats are original and clean with normal wear. The trunk area is likewise in good condition
(see photo) and the spare tire, jack and accessories 
are all there. Two factory keys and one fully functional remote are included along with the original
owner's and maintenance manuals in the glove box. 
If you want a second remote, they are going for as low as $15 used in good condition on eBay and
you can get it programmed by an automotive locksmith for $50 (have done this with several cars that don't have on-board programming).  

After I got the new title and registration, just had the car pass NJ inspection. NJ inspection sticker good through May 2015 and it's ready to drive away. 
I would not hesitate to drive this car anywhere, it's that solid.

Will you get a great deal on this LeSabre?

Well of course I am going to say I think you'll get a terrific deal given the vehicle's condition but don’t just take my word for it. The Kelly Blue Book
value for this car is over $5,000. Since this is a NO RESERVE auction you have a chance to save a bundle.

I highly recommend you visit the Kelly Blue Book site to see how highly rated and reliable this car is by hundreds of other consumers
(Overall rating of 8.8/10 which is really a strong rating since many cars are rated under 8/10 very few make it 9/10 or above). 

FREE BONUS

Because I want you to have a great customer experience and be thrilled with the car, you get the following FREE BONUS:

  • Full Tank of Gas - I knows gas prices are high, so the car comes with a full tank to save you a few bucks. ($64 value)

Buy with confidence, 100% positive feedback on 259 ratings since joining eBay in 2000. This is also the eight family vehicle I have sold on eBay Motors,
so you will see other positive feedback in my profile indicating how other eBay Motors buyers felt about their vehicle deal and their experience working
with me as a seller. Integrity is everything when buying a car online.

Please note that since this 2005 Buick LeSabre is also listed locally for sale, so it may be test driven by other potential buyers, thus listed mileage
in this auction may not be exact and is only guaranteed to be accurate within 200 miles.

If you have any questions or concerns about the car, please feel free to give Ryan a call at 732-407-2878. I don’t hide behind my eBay user name
or email address, unlike some other eBay Motors sellers.

Thank you for visiting and happy bidding!

GM recalls 64k 2011-2013 Volts over carbon monoxide fears, stop sale on Trax and Encore

Thu, Mar 12 2015

General Motors is recalling 50,249 Chevrolet Volts from the 2011-2013 model years in the US and an additional 13,937 exported examples because of fears over carbon monoxide buildup. According to a statement, if a Volt is accidentally left on while running on electric power, its internal combustion engine would eventually kick on to charge on the battery. If this happens in an enclosed space, then carbon monoxide can fill the area, leading to a potential exposure to the dangerous gas. According to GM, there have been two injuries reported due to this issue. To fix the problem, there's a software update to limit the time the vehicle can idle. According to Automotive News, GM is also issuing a stop sale on about 2,300 examples of the 2015 Chevrolet Trax and Buick Encore. In these compact crossovers, it's possible that the steering column assembly could touch the power steering circuit board and cause damage over time. This could potentially cause the system to stop working. Automotive News indicates that the automaker is still working with the supplier to get the necessary parts to repair this problem. General Motors is recalling 50,249 Chevrolet Volts in the U.S. from the 2011-2013 model years to implement a software update that will limit the amount of time a vehicle can be left idling in the "on" or "run" position. If a driver exits the vehicle and inadvertently leaves the vehicle "on" by failing to react to cues and warning chimes emitted by the vehicle, the vehicle's high-voltage battery will drain after a period of time and the gasoline engine will begin to run. If the gas engine runs for a long period of time within an enclosed space, such as a garage, carbon monoxide could build up. GM is aware of two injuries, both related to carbon monoxide build up. The total recall population including Canada and exports is 64,186. Related Video:

Buyers resent low inventories, prices over MSRP, study says

Tue, Nov 15 2022

Vehicle inventory low, vehicle transaction prices high, customers fretting … welcome, J.D. Power, to the era of supply and demand. In a recently published survey from one of the auto industryÂ’s top analytical firms, findings show that customers' satisfaction with vehicle purchases in the United States this year has dipped for the first time in 10 years. The 2022 U.S. Sales Satisfaction Index (SSI) Study found that overall sales satisfaction has dropped to 786 (on a 1,000-point scale) from 789 in 2021. In that year, higher than expected trade-in values softened the effect of new vehicle price increases. But in 2022, on top of trade-in prices shrinking, many dealers elected to charge more than the ManufacturerÂ’s Suggested Retail Price, a factor that did not sit well with buyers. “When dealers charge more than MSRP, particularly with long-term loyal customers, they risk a potential long-term negative effect on customer advocacy and service business," said Chris Sutton, vice president of automotive retail at J.D. Power. Satisfaction among buyers who paid more than sticker price is 757, while satisfaction among those who paid the sticker price or less is 850, the Power report said. The lack of dealership inventory was also a customer irritant, J.D. Power found, a point that automakers and their dealers may want to consider. Many have maintained, or considered maintaining, a smaller inventory in the wake of the pandemic, keeping costs down and driving more customers toward factory orders. Regarding those consumers shopping for electric vehicles, the survey said that more than a third of them “failed to get instruction on EV charging before they left the dealership, which notably affects satisfaction.” Said Sutton, “Salespeople donÂ’t need to show gas-powered vehicle buyers how to fill their tank, but they do need to show EV buyers how to charge their vehicle.” There are positives to the Power conclusions, however, especially for Alfa Romeo dealers. The Italian brand ranked highest in customer satisfaction among premium brands with a score of 833, with Porsche a very close second (831) and Lexus (819) third. Alfa is on something of a roll these days, with its compact Tonale crossover due for release in the spring, and a new sports car in the works. Meanwhile, in PowerÂ’s “mainstream brand”” segment, Buick ranked first with a score of 825, followed by Dodge (816) and Subaru (804), all performing higher than the industry average.

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.
