Great ride in this very reliable, crowd-pleasing classic. 64,278 original miles. Tenderly cared for. Runs great – starts first time every time with complete reliability. Cruises effortlessly on the highway. We purchased this car from Wisconsin family in 1999 and have enjoyed many fun filled times with this classic cruiser.
Engine: Less than 6K miles on this COMPLETE ENGINE OVERHAUL (professionally done: pistons, rings, bearings, camshaft, lifters, timing chain/gears). Includes hardened (stellite) valve seats – runs exceptionally on NO-LEAD GASOLINE. Delivers great power and has no issues.
Cooling system has recently recored 4-tube radiator, new water pump (less than 6K miles) and provides good cooling. Also includes auxiliary electric fan for additional cooling support in low speed (parades, etc.).
Transmission shifts smooth and effortlessly in all driving conditions. Has some of the minor expected fluid seepage, but not a concern.
Undercarriage is in surprisingly great condition for a 61 year-old classic. The wide-whitewall steel belted radial tires have less than 6k miles plus new shocks and coil springs provide a dreamy, smooth ride. Features 1953 Buick optional wire wheel covers that are in great condition. Power brakes professionally reconditioned provide firm stopping. Steering is effortless with Buick’s power steering. Alignment is straight and no concerns cruising down the highway.
Body is straight and has no rust! Paint is classic black – refinished with base-coat/clear-coat approx. 20 years ago. A few of the very minor expected finish imperfections for a car of this vintage, but no major issues. The chrome and stainless trim, bumpers and grill are all there and look great. Glass is all good with a few very minor discoloration in the vent windows.
Interior door panels, headliner and dashboard are in great condition. Classic 1950s dashboard with plenty of shiny chrome! Speedometer, tripometer and all gauges function fine, except the gas gauge which needs some attention. Includes original radio and clock that are currently not functioning and need some attention. Windshield wiper motor is vintage vacuum type that need reconditioning. Seat frames, springs and padding are fine - need recovering. All doors and windows function perfectly. Trunk is huge, lock works fine and is in great shape.
Electrical system (generator, voltage regulator, etc.) is in great shape, no concerns. Battery replaced in 2013. All lights (headlights, high beams, directionals, interior) function properly. Wiring is intact and in great shape.
Includes original owner’s manual and Buick OEM Shop Manual.
This is a great, well-maintained, reliable classic that has been in our family for many years and is ready for your cruising adventures.

2013 Buick Verano Turbo

Thu, 03 Jan 2013

Not Luxury. Not Sport. Not Buick. Not Bad.
Those of you who still think of the Buick Verano as some sort of callously badge-engineered, gussied up version of the Chevrolet Cruze ("Why would anyone spend that much money on Buick's Cruze?" you may have been heard to mutter) have got the wrong idea. Entirely. Even in its most modest form, the Verano turns out to be a sedan that is feature-rich, insulated from wind and road noise in proper luxury car fashion, pretty good to drive and not bad to look at in the new school of high-nosed pedestrian-impact-regulated fashion. In a less modest form then, one that attaches the word "Turbo" to the moniker and plops a force-fed 2.0-liter four-cylinder under the hood, the Verano is downright interesting.
Of course, "interesting" is rarely a descriptor that fills one with lust - and so it goes with this example. There are two competing forces within this near-premium subcompact sedan, and the balance struck between them must resonate with any potential customer before the Verano Turbo can become a serious purchase consideration.

Buick, GMC making OnStar Connected Services standard

Mon, Jul 11 2022

The thing about the future is that so long as you're alive, you're going to get there whether you like it or not. Thanks to over-the-air connections essentially being a compulsory part of EV ownership and an increasingly important — and profitable — component of ICE ownership, it's easiest for automakers to install full-featured Internet connections in every vehicle. GM has taken the first step, a report in GM Authority saying that as of June 2, all Buick and GMC models are sold with the Onstar Connected Services plan good for three years. The OnStar site shows the Connected Vehicle tier that comes with a Wi-Fi hotspot costs $24.99 per month, which would be $900 minus a few pennies for three years. At the top end is OnStar Premium that runs about $1,800 for three years. Both include Connected Services features, yet GMA reports that depending on the vehicles, OnStar Connected Services will cost between $905 and $1,675. Only the GMC Hummer EV Edition 1 is excluded for now. GM confirmed the change to GM Authority, saying, "This offering provides our owners with a full suite of OnStar and Connected Services for three years, providing them with more time to enjoy services such as remote key fob, Wi-Fi data and OnStar safety services. By including this plan as standard equipment on the vehicle, it provides more customer value and a more seamless onboarding experience." Three trims of the GMC Sierra 1500 and two trims of the GMC Yukon and Yukon XL come in at the low end, OnStar adding $905 to their MSRPs. Almost every other vehicle gets hit with a $1,500 charge. The GMC Sierra HD Pro is the only model to charge $1,675 for it, which GMA breaks out as a "$1,500 3-year subscription and $175 OnStar & GMC Connected Services Capability." This brings up the question of the price differences; we can't tell if there's a difference in feature content between the price tiers, or why the Sierra HD gets the extra $175 fee. The automaker told GMA the upcharge will be folded into the MSRP. On the configurator for the Sierra 1500 SLE, for instance, the dialog box for three years of OnStar at $1,500 is automatically checked and can't be unchecked. The Buick configurators we tried don't mention OnStar.

Electric Cadillac Lyriq, Chevy Bolt EUV and more GM electric cars are on the way

Wed, Mar 4 2020

GM’s murky and somewhat secretive electric car plan is falling into place, as the company dumped a massive amount of information about whatÂ’s in the pipeline at an event at its Warren, Michigan campus today. New EVs are going to be popping up across the GM brand lineup, with new entries from Chevrolet, Cadillac, GMC and Buick in progress. We also learned some big news about GMÂ’s new Ultium battery tech today, but check out this story for all of those nitty-gritty details. The electric vehicle onslaught will begin with the Cadillac Lyriq, an electric SUV thatÂ’s already been teased out. Naming it the Lyriq is the news today. No explanation for the name was provided, so weÂ’ll have to wait for April to learn more. GM didnÂ’t specifically say if the Lyriq would be launched at the NY Auto Show, but that show (assuming coronavirus doesnÂ’t cancel it) will begin on April 8 this year. Next up in the order of events is the GMC Hummer electric truck that we know will be launching on May 20. This truck will use GMÂ’s modular Ultium battery technology. However, the wait to buy a GMC Hummer will be a long one, as the truck isnÂ’t going to dive into production until fall 2021 at GMÂ’s Detroit-Hamtramck plant. GM revealed that its new modular Ultium batteries can be configured anywhere from a 50 kWh pack to a 200 kWh pack depending on the application. Range is estimated to be about 400 miles on the upper end with the largest battery pack, and GM continues to boast about a 0-60 mph acceleration time of three seconds. Charging estimates for the Ultium battery-equipped Hummer EV were also provided. GM says its truck platform will have 800-volt battery packs and be capable of 350 kW fast-charging. Time estimates werenÂ’t given, but those numbers suggest the truck will be a rapid charger. The Hummer truck on hand, which was the same that previously starred in GMC's Super Bowl spot, showed off removable roof panels that store in the frunk, as well as what appeared to be a version of GMC's Multi-Pro tailgate. It also featured sail panels on the sides, similar to those in front of the bed of the Chevy Avalanche. In addition to the Hummer, expect to see a couple Chevys launching. GM says the refreshed Bolt EV will be launched “in late 2020” with a refreshed interior and what appear to be thicker front seats.
