I am assisting my parents in selling their NON-RUNNING 1995 Buick Park Avenue Ultra with the supercharged 3.8L engine. Unfortunately, they got raked over the coals in attempting to have a private individual and two garage shops fix a very basic problem - the engine was experiencing oil pressure issues. By the time all was said and done, they had spent around $2,500+ trying to have the engine fixed. After members of their church stepped in to help them out with another working vehicle, they parked the Buick and have now decided to sell it to prevent the accumulation of any further storage fees.
Originally, to avoid garage fees, they had a private individual repair the engine for $700. He ended up putting 200 miles on the car, performing no repairs and taking their money. They decided to accept the labor cost and have a garage repair the car. After an entire 3-month summer, one garage charged them over $900 for replacement of intake and head gaskets which had nothing to do with the oil issue. Problem was not solved. A second garage kept the car a few more months, attempted to do similar repairs and also charged them over $900. They still failed to properly diagnose and fix the problem. The car body is in good condition with the only major rust being a hole in the area of the driver's rear door in front of the wheel (picture included). All other body panels/components are in good to very good condition. There is some clear coat peeling off the hood, however, there is no visible rust in this area. The interior was kept pretty clean as both of my parents are in their mid-upper 50s, took care of the car and are non-smokers. They purchased the car from the original owner, a GM mechanic. Work done to the car has been as follows and they have work orders or receipts in a file for the car. Some items do not have a value as I was informed of additional paperwork still in the car which shall be retrieved soon. Replacement of: Supercharger Unit Alternator / Pump engine bracket Complete front sub-frame assembly (over $800) All four rear mounts and washers Stabilizer Bar End Link Wheel Cylinder Air conditioning work Radiator replaced with new Exhaust = Cat-back to muffler ($110) Fuel Pump and one fuel tank strap (over $200) Ignition Control Module ($90) Battery (16 months old - installed 9/25/2012 - $100) Engine Overhaul (all parts listed below have never seen road use): New Front Crank Seal New Oil Pan Gasket New Timing cover Gasket New Serpentine Belt New Crank Sensor New Oil Pump Gears New Oil Pick Up Tube New Front Exhaust Manifold Gasket New Head Bolts New Head Gasket Set The engine DOES NOT RUN despite all of the above work, but can still be made to run according to my brother (a Verizon fleet mechanic). It will need the lower end disassembled and new rods and bearings installed. My parents have decided they can no longer afford to be hurt by shops and individuals who don't care. One note - at some point in time, the driver's door window control unit went missing. It is the only interior part missing. All parts for these older Park Avenue cars are expensive and are getting harder to find. A typical salvage yard can earn nearly $7,500 from the parts in this car. My parents told me to sell the car for their repair investment ONLY and to not include their purchase value for the car. Therefore, after reviewing their files, I will be attempting to earn $3000 for the car. The car has seen no road time in nearly two years meaning most of the installed parts are either BRAND NEW or NEARLY NEW. This is a chance to pick up an entire 3.8L Supercharged 1995 Buick Park Avenue with sunroof parts car for a fraction of the car's value as parts or as a 90% rebuilt runner. A good engine mechanic can make this work for you - my parents have just had enough. Other work done to the car will be added as documentation is found and reviewed. Please note that you MUST tow/trailer the car as it does not currently run. Removal of the car is the responsibility of the buyer. The car is also for sale locally and I have the right to end this auction at any time. Thank you. Please contact me for additional pictures. GOOD LUCK and PLEASE ASK QUESTIONS before bidding!! |

Buick resurrects the Electra nameplate on a science fiction-like electric concept
Tue, Sep 29 2020Buick plans to broaden its range of electric cars in the coming years, and it still owns the rights to the heritage-laced Electra nameplate, so it was only a matter of time before the past and the future met head-on. Buick resurrected the name it used between the 1959 and 1990 model years on a futuristic, battery-powered concept car. Created by a Shanghai-based design studio, the Electra concept takes the form of either a tall sedan or a low crossover, depending on your perspective. While it's not officially a preview of an upcoming production model, it ushers in a design language named Potential Energy that will permeate most of the electric cars the firm will release during the 2020s. It's inspired by a space capsule, according to Buick, so its greenhouse was drawn to resemble a glass pod. Its surfaces are sculpted but not chiseled, and its front fascia wears LED lights with a three-dimensional effect. Fear not: Stylists didn't forget the seemingly obligatory back-lit emblem. Butterfly doors provide access to the cabin, where the space capsule theme continues. Buick packed the Electra with cutting-edge technology features, but it concealed them rather well to avoid a tech overload. The driver faces a rectangular steering wheel that retracts when it's not needed, behind which is a wide, curved screen that replaces all of the buttons, knobs, and switches normally found in a car's interior. An electric motor is far more compact than a comparable four- or six-cylinder engine, so designers were able to carve out a generously sized interior. Engineers embedded technology into the Electra from the project's earliest stage. It's equipped with software named eConnect that supports over-the-air updates, provides on-demand information about a specific trip, and gives details about the various electronic driving aids. An artificial intelligence-powered assistant lets users perform various tasks, such as setting the air conditioning or controlling home devices, with voice commands. Buick noted the Electra offers about 410 miles of driving range thanks in part to the Ultium battery technology developed by General Motors to power a wide selection of electric models, including the Cadillac Lyriq, the GMC Hummer, and a pair of Honda-badged models scheduled to go on sale for the 2024 model year.
Buick Riviera Concept debuts in China
Fri, 19 Apr 2013It's nighttime in China, and Buick has just concluded an evening event the day before the first - and only - press day of the Shanghai Motor Show. The star of this evening's party was the Buick Riviera concept vehicle, a plug-in electric hybrid coupe that the automaker says gives a glimpse at its future design direction, not to mention resurrecting some nomenclature from the brand's history that includes a similarly named concept from 2007.
The shape of the Riviera is said to be inspired by water. While the traditional Buick "waterfall" grille is present, the front end gains a more aggressive note thanks to what appear to be vertical air inlets below each headlight.
As for the concept's drivetrain, Buick says it uses General Motors' new dual-mode wireless plug-in hybrid electric vehicle propulsion system, or W-PHEV for short. The keyword there is 'wireless,' as the Riviera can charge its onboard battery packs with a traditional cable or wirelessly via a "sensory recharge panel" underneath the car.
Chevy Traverse, Hyundai Santa Fe revealed; Buick Envista, BMW M4 CSL driven | Autoblog Podcast #790
Fri, Jul 21 2023In this episode of the Autoblog Podcast, Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore is joined by Senior Editor John Beltz Snyder. After some banter, including the discussion of an excellent tomato sauce recipe, they get into car reviews. Greg has been driving the Mercedes-AMG GLE 53, while John has been testing the BMW M4 CSL and Buick's new Envista crossover. There's lots of interesting news this week. Chevy revealed the 2024 Traverse with new looks, a new engine and on off-road(ish) trim. Hyundai gave us a glimpse at the wild styling of the next Santa Fe. Dodge might bring back the Stealth nameplate as an SUV, and that has implications for the Durango as well. Ford, after repeatedly raising prices, has turned around and significantly discounted the F-150 Lightning across all trims. The first Tesla Cybertruck has rolled off the line as a pre-production prototype. Finally, we reach in to the mailbag and help a listener decide what to do with cars for himself and his kids in this week's Spend My Money segment.
