1998 Buick Century Limited Sedan 4-door 3.1l on 2040-cars
Memphis, Tennessee, United States
********PLEASE NOTE THAT I WILL NOT ACCEPT PAYMENT VIA PAYPAL UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE******** Up for sale is a ONE OWNER (me) 1998 Buick Century Limited. That’s
right, my name and address are the only ones that have ever graced the title of
this car. It is finished in beautiful Jasper Green Metallic paint with sumptuous
Taupe Leather interior. It has Only 47,772 original miles. You
are reading that correctly – this car is a time warp that you do not see very
often. I checked off the options sheet when I ordered my Buick with
the: Popular Option Package; Premium Option Package; Body Side Stripes; Carpet
Savers in front and rear; Electrochromic rearview mirror; Heated Body Color Exterior
Mirrors; Cruise Control, Rear Window integrated Antenna; the Premium sound
system; Jasper Green Metallic Paint, and Taupe Leather. These option packages
entailed many niceties such as dual electronic climate control, dual power
seats, cruise control, high-end Concert Sound II stereo system with CD player, a
Tape player, and steering wheel controls as well. In addition it has anti-lock
brakes, dual airbags, 4 wheel disc brakes, aluminum alloy wheels, automatic
headlights and dimming interior courtesy lights. My Buick has been thoroughly
maintained throughout its entire life. Recently I serviced the car with a brand
new battery, new starter, new water pump, new front & rear brakes, and the fluids
were replaced as well. It runs great, idles superbly smooth, passes inspection,
and sips gas. I have both keys, both keyless entry fobs, and even the valet key
still. My Buick has been garaged for all but 2 of its 16 year life
span, and it has never seen snow. The car has never been smoked in, I can count
on one hand how many times the back seat has had a passenger, and the trunk has
never seen anything but a rolling bag. Why am I selling it? Because my wife inherited her
grandmother’s 2003 Lexus ES300 with low miles on it about 2 year ago.
Therefore, the Lexus has taken the place of the Buick as our reserve/airport car.
I simply have not had the time to fool with selling the Buick despite the
occasional consideration to go to CarMax for an offer. Additionally, it’s been
difficult to part with the Buick considering how well it has served us and the
fact that I have owned it since ordering from the factory. What’s wrong with it? A few things - mainly due to being
kicked out of the third garage spot by the Lexus. There are typical bumps and
scratches on the sides and bumpers due to airport parking garages over the
years, but it still presents very well do to its extensive years of being under
cover. A tree limb fell during a storm
last year and dented the driver door and the hood (as you can see in the
pictures). The interior rear view mirror has developed some cloudiness that I
can only attribute to the sun. The screen for the automatic climate control
does not display anything, but all functions still work correctly (this is very
strange to me and I wonder if regular use would “wake” the screen back up).
There seems to be a coolant leak, but the origin is unknown. My yard man thinks
it’s probably just an old radiator hose or even a worn out radiator cap. The
car still runs just fine though. Thank you for looking at my car. It is truly is an
exceptional example of the Buick Century mark, and its new owner will
understand immediately just how well it has been cared for. I welcome any
questions you may have and sincerely appreciate your consideration in viewing
my advertisement. |

Opel Cascada is Europe's Buick convertible [w/video]
Wed, 17 Oct 2012As we reported earlier, there has been much speculation regarding a Buick convertible of sorts. The most ringing endorsement of this conjecture comes today from General Motors Europe, as the new Opel Cascada has debuted on the interwebs. Opel calls the four-passenger Cascada an "athletic, glamorous midsize convertible." With a length of 4,697mm (185 in.), the Cascada is as long as an Audi A5, to which GM has said it would be slightly larger.
The Cascada, which is Spanish for waterfall, features a cloth convertible top that retracts in 17 seconds and at speeds up to 50 km/h (31 mph). The Cascada features a 1.4-liter turbo gas engine, 2.0-liter turbodiesel with 165 horsepower and a range-topping 1.6-liter turbocharged Ecotec engine that puts out 170 horsepower and 280 Nm (207 lb-ft). Power is sent through either a six-speed manual or six-speed automatic transmission.
According to GM, the Cascada will also come rife with luxury and tech features. In addition to adaptive forward lighting and ergonomic heated front seats, the convertible will feature Opel Eye, which is a front camera that can recognize traffic signs and incorporates lane departure warning and forward collision alert.
Updated Buick LaCrosse, Regal to debut at New York Auto Show
Tue, 26 Feb 2013Judging by the spy shots we saw last week for the 2014 Buick LaCrosse and 2014 Buick Regal, we knew it wouldn't be much longer until we saw both sedans receive a grand debut. Today, Buick confirmed to Autoblog both cars will be introduced at the New York Auto Show next month, but no further information has yet been released about either model.
Having been on the market for an extra couple years, the changes to the LaCrosse appear to be more significant than those coming for the Regal, but both will be getting refreshed exterior designs as well as updated interiors. The Regal's new face brings it more in line with the all-new Encore and the restyled Enclave, while the LaCrosse should get a more distinctive, upscale appearance.
Both cars will be introduced exactly a month from today, and we'll be there to bring you all the coverage.
NHTSA may greatly expand GM airbag recall
Wed, 05 Jun 2013The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is pondering whether to dramatically upscale a pair of airbag recalls on General Motors vehicles. The two existing campaigns, one launched in the fall of 2012 and the other in January of this year covered just 6,845 vehicles, but the government agency is considering whether to boost the recall to around 400,000 units.
The existing recalls involve the the closely related 2012 Buick Verano (shown) and Chevrolet Cruze sedans, along with Sonic and Camaro models. The root of the problem is a shorting bar in the inflator module of the steering-wheel-mounted airbag that may contact the primary state airbag terminal, a condition that could prevent deployment in an accident. Dealer technicians have been replacing the steering wheel airbag coils to fix the issue.
According to a post on NHTSA's website, the root cause, said to be a production issue, may not have been completely isolated - particularly for the second recall, which was for the Camaro. According to Automotive News, GM says it is cooperating with the government investigation, but won't say whether or not it knows the true origin of the problem.
