 The 86 turbo regal I bought 15 years ago from a middle age couple who just drove it on the street till they had too many kids. It had 87k on it with 1 repaint. It was originally a white car and still is (black trim) white painted rear bumper, chrome front. Body is straight, no bondo and no rust holes, some bubbling starting in a couple of places down low just in the last 2 years. Couple of areas had paint chips that started some surface rust, and need repainted. See pics. I've never driven in on salt or snow, no winters at all. But we have wet ground 6 months out of the year, and it has sat out 1-2 winters on gravel. Needs front bumper fillers now, drivers seat has a spilt and needs headliner, analog dash. Couple minor bumps and a light crease in rt front fender. I think my son smacked the edge of the roof when he was an angry teen and put 2 smaller dents on the roofs edge. Inside trunk is perfect with perfect trunk mat, original spare and jack.  Bucket seat, console car loaded. Engine never been apart and has 135k on it now.

On Jan-23-13 at 02:28:41 PST, seller added the following information:

After several inquiries about possible hidden rust, let me add more details to calm your concerns. This car is a rust-free car with NO bondo anywhere. I've owned hundreds of Indiana cars and several of these. I know the weak spots. That's why I have an extra pair of rust-free doors and trunklid, NOT selling with the car (unless winning bidder wants them) I bought this car in 97 with 94k miles on it and it was rock solid then with NO rust anywhere and a perfect body and had been repainted a few years earlier (nice original white paint again) likely due to the clearcoat peeling as that was common on mid-80's cars. I've been thru EVERY inch of this car over all the years I've owned it and never saw 1 sign it was ever wrecked or had any bondo anywhere (thus the clearcoat theory) I'm a BIG car guy and know cars and paint and rusted car issues. I drove it on the street the first few years (weather permitting) but never in the winter so it has NOT seen snow, salt since I've owned it. I garaged it every winter (and many summers until 2 years ago. The body was perfect then and only developed a couple of bubbling spots over the past 2 years from sitting outside with a cover over it (not fastened to the ground so air could get under it) on gravel. Two spots of paint bubbling emerged last year the size of a quarter at the bottom of the left quarter, but you can access the back side of those areas from the wheelhouse and see there is no rust emerging from the backside. I've seen bubbling like this before from poor adhesion of the primer. The frame is rustfree and perfect. The trunk is also rustfree and perfect everwhere (looks practically new). The floorboards seem perfect but the passenger side front is getting weak from a leaky window or windshield and dampness under the carpet (never did see exactly where the trouble was. From 99 on it's just seen occasional track action. The doors are solid on the bottom edge where they normally rust out. The trunk lid is solid along the bottom inside edge where they rust out. Both are starting to get some rust stains emerging from the welds at the bottom inside seams and will only get worse if not garaged, thus the reason for selling. The car has a few dings and chips that have surface rust starting and needs garaged. My garage spaces are full of Mopars, 68 Camaro and 69 427 Vette  so SOMETHINGS gotta give. I can't bear the thought of my beloved Turbo Regal rusting away outside another day. That's the ONLY reason I'm selling it. I don't need money. I HATE Indiana weather. I value my Ebay reputation tremendously as I sell often on here and have sold several cars and MANY motorcycles by giving accurate, detailed descriptions but avoid giving opinions, thus the flawless feedback score of many years and many transactions.. You will find nicer things about this car than you expected and some things not at nice. I try to describe as much as possible in order of importance with the limited time and space here, but can't describe every inch. Use the "ask seller a question" if I missed something important to you. Hope that helps.


On Mar-11-13 at 03:13:10 PDT, seller added the following information:

I have decided to include the extra  R & L doors complete with glass and electric window motors and mirrors. They are rustfree and straight. Also included with sale is a rustfree trunklid with center section of the GN spoiler. Also included is a pair of rustfree front fenders, a perfect grill, a GN front bumper(lighttweight aluminum brace) a perfect hood insulator and some other misc parts.

Frustrated GM investors ask what more Mary Barra can do

Mon, Oct 22 2018

DETROIT — General Motors Co Chief Executive Mary Barra has transformed the No. 1 U.S. automaker in her almost five years in charge, but that is still not enough to satisfy investors. Ahead of third-quarter results due on Oct. 31, GM shares are trading about 6 percent below the $33 per share price at which they launched in 2010 in a post-bankruptcy initial public offering. The Detroit carmaker's stock is down 22 percent since Barra took over in January 2014. After hitting an all-time high of $46.48 on Oct. 24, 2017, the shares have declined 33 percent. In the same period, the Standard & Poor's 500 index has climbed 7.8 percent. Several shareholders contacted by Reuters said GM could face a third major action by activist shareholders in less than four years if the share price does not improve. "I've been expecting it," said John Levin, chairman of Levin Capital Strategies. "It just seems a tempting morsel to somebody." Levin's firm owns more than seven million GM shares. Barra has guided the company through the settlement of a federal criminal probe of a mishandled safety recall, sold off money-losing European operations, and returned $25 billion to shareholders through dividends and stock buybacks from 2012 through 2017. GM declined to comment for this story, but the company's executives privately express frustration with the market's reluctance to see it as anything more than a manufacturer tied mainly to auto market sales cycles. GM's profitable North American truck and SUV business and its money-making China operations are valued at just $14 billion, excluding the value of GM's stake in its $14.6 billion Cruise automated vehicle business and its cash reserves from its $44 billion market capitalization. The recent slump in the Chinese market, GM's largest, and plateauing U.S. demand are ratcheting up the pressure. GM is one of the few global automakers without a founding family or a government to serve as a bulwark against corporate raiders. In 2015, a group led by investor Harry Wilson pressed GM to launch a $5 billion share buyback, and commit to what is now an $18 billion ceiling on the level of cash the company would hold. In 2017, GM fended off a call by hedge fund manager David Einhorn to split its common stock shares into two classes. Einhorn, whose firm still owned more than 21 million shares at the end of June, declined to comment about GM's stock price. Other investors said there were no clear alternatives to Barra's approach.

2018 Buick Regal TourX starts right around $30,000

Wed, Jun 28 2017

The all-new Buick Regal is coming, and it's ditching the sedan bodystyle in favor of two liftback variants. This week, CarsDirect reported pricing on the more interesting of the two, the Regal TourX. While we're waiting on an official confirmation from Buick, at $29,995 (presumably before destination), the lifted-wagon will significantly undercut competitors from BMW, Volvo, and Audi. With standard all-wheel drive and a powerful turbocharged inline-four, the Regal TourX has the potential to steal som sales from the Europeans. CarsDirect bases its report on the latest Buick order guides. All versions of the Regal TourX come with all-wheel drive and a turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-four making 250 horsepower and 265 pound-feet of torque. The only available transmission is an eight-speed automatic. Push-button start, active-noise cancellation, and 18-inch wheels are part of the package. The Regal TourX Preferred bumps the price to $33,575. For the extra few hundred dollars, you get an auto-dimming rearview mirror, leather-wrapped steering wheel, power driver's seat, and door sill plates. There are also more colors available than on the base model. Further options include a $1,240 driver's assistance package with blind-spot monitoring, rear park assist, and cross-traffic alert, and a $1,200 panoramic moonroof. A fully loaded, top-trim Regal TourX rings in at $38,860. Direct competitors are difficult to name. The pricing is above something like the Volkswagen Golf Alltrack, but far less than the Audi A4 Allroad, Volvo V60 Cross Country, or a BMW 3 Series wagon. It ought to offer more power and refinement than a Subaru Outback, but we'll have to wait to drive it before we can make a final call.

2024 Buick Envista Review: Looks like $60,000, costs less than $30,000

Thu, Oct 5 2023

Pros: Compelling design; ample space for the segment; quiet and refined driving experience; punchy and efficient engine; well-equipped; low price Cons: All-wheel drive not available; armrests are a bit hard The 2024 Buick Envista is one of the best, most competitive and most relevant cars to come out of General Motors in a long time. It is wildly impressive and truly surprising. We had multiple people guess the Copper Ice test car pictured above cost $60,000 or even $80,000, and we agree that it certainly looks expensive. And yet, that Sport Touring test car stickers for $29,070 and isn’t even the top-of-the-line. That puts it in the heart of the subcompact SUV segment, but it boasts one of the biggest back seats and cargo areas in that segment. You certainly wouldnÂ’t guess that by looking at its rakish roofline. Its interior looks almost as good as the exterior, and provides lots of features for the money, including tech that looks great and is easy to use. It is rare for a car to be both a sensible choice and an emotional one, but the Envista is just that. So, how can the Envista be such a bargain in these inflationary times? Being built in Korea rather than by North American union members probably helps. Another key reason, though, is Buick cutting costs in smart areas. The engine is not powerful and its 0-60-mph time in the mid-9-second range is on the slow side, but when behind the wheel, the little turbocharged three-cylinder is punchy around town, its pleasingly snarl-like noise is nicely quelled by ample sound deadening, and its six-speed automatic transmission (perhaps a cost savings itself) does its job without fuss unlike the complicated transmissions of most rivals. The interior also sees the sort of hard plastics indicative of its segment, but the plastics donÂ’t look cheap and are mostly in places where your hands and elbows donÂ’t touch. The lack of all-wheel drive might be a dealbreaker for some, but otherwise, its cons are either justified by the low price or covered up by thoughtful design and engineering. ThatÂ’s a mark of the best inexpensive cars. The new Buick Envista is one of them.
