***PLEASE NOTE THAT I WILL NOT ACCEPT PAYMENT VIA PAYPAL UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE***

*****Also note that the AutoCheck is incorrect. I am the only owner this vehicle has ever had, despite the report stating otherwise some unknown reason. I have filed a complaint with AutoCheck and am awaiting their response. Also worth noting is the "accident" noted on the report. It was merely a 1 mph bump at a red light. I called the police just as a precaution. The only damage was a few scrapes, and I had the bumper professionally repainted to look just like new again. So please rest assured that this car has never suffered any meaningful accident damage. *****

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 47,791 original miles. You are reading that correctly – this car is a time warp that you do not see very often.

It is hard to believe I know, but this Buick has never been my primary mode of transportation. It has spent its entire life as a reserve vehicle for me and my family occasionally. I travel across the country on business for a living, and the trusty Buick has served as my airport car. I have owned higher caliber vehicles over the years that I simply was not comfortable leaving at the airport in Memphis, Nashville, or Little Rock (depending upon where I was flying out of). So the Buick served me well as a low profile car. I also attribute its ability to blend in anonymously with the fact that I have never received a ticket in it – despite its surprising knack for cruising at 85 comfortably for long periods of time. The Buick has also served as a car for our housekeeper to run errands in over the years as well.

My Buick is in exceptional condition inside and out for its age, and the pictures simply do not do it justice. I special ordered this car from the factory thru my family relationship with the owner of Jim Keras Buick in Memphis, TN with every available option except a sunroof.

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.

Hyundai, Buick dealer apologize in wake of Chinese baby social media incident

Sat, 09 Mar 2013

A very strange story out of China today, as Hyundai and a Chinese Buick dealer were forced to face allegations of using allusions to an infamous child murder on a social media site as a way of promoting the safety features of their respective vehicles.
The original sad tale goes something like this: On March 4, a man reported to police that he had left his infant child in a running Toyota RAV4 while he ran into a supermarket briefly. When he came back out, the vehicle and the child were gone. Later in the week a suspect turned himself in to the police; confessing to them that he had stolen a sport-utility vehicle, strangled the infant that was in it, and then buried the child in the snow.
As you might imagine, the gristly incident was covered massively in the Chinese media. (There was huge public outcry as well, as evidenced by the vigil scene, above.) "Changchun baby abduction" was very quickly amongst the highest ranking search teams of the China's Weibo social media site - an equivalent of Twitter in the English-speaking world.

Opel Insignia OPC Sports Tourer shows its fresh face ahead of Frankfurt debut

Thu, 22 Aug 2013

Drive down the Autobahn and there's any number of vehicles likely to pass you, and most of them are produced locally. But if you're wondering how that Opel left you in its dust, look closely (and quickly) enough and you might make out the letters OPC on the back.
They stand for Opel Performance Center (the German counterpart to Vauxhall's VXR line) and they adorn performance versions of the Corsa, Astra and Insignia. The latter is undergoing a bit of a refresh and is expected to debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show in a couple of weeks, but you don't have to wait that long as our intrepid spy photographers have caught it in the flesh outside an Opel facility in Germany.
Spied here completely undisguised in Sports Tourer (read: wagon) form, the Insignia has had a few nips and tucks performed, but we'll be more intrigued to see what it's got under the hood. The current model packs a 2.8-liter twin-turbo V6 driving 325 horsepower to all four wheels, but rumors suggest that the OPC (yeah you know me!) could have as much as 400 hp up its sleeve. That would make this one heck of a sleeper - especially in wagon form - and only make us pine for a more potent version of its twin Buick Regal to roam our highways, too.

Why Buick's Encore wasn't a Chevy

Wed, 31 Oct 2012

Buick is taking a gamble with its 2013 Encore. General Motors' near-luxury brand has enjoyed great success attracting conquest buyers to its larger Enclave crossover, but it has never offered something quite like this small CUV.
Very early signs suggest that the gamble might be working. According to Mark Reuss, President of General Motors, the automaker expected about 1,500 initial orders from its dealers for the Encore, but it's tracking closer to 9,000 units. Alluding to the fact that historically, Buick has shared similar products with GM's other brands, Reuss says that Buick dealers are "thrilled to have an exclusive." The automaker already markets almost identical models in other markets as the Opel/Vauxhall Mokka and Chevrolet Trax, but The General's other brands won't offer a twin to the new baby Buick.
The new Encore is based on the Gamma architecture that underpins the Chevrolet Sonic, and it shares the economy car's available turbocharged 1.4-liter four-cylinder engine. With standard front-wheel drive and available all-wheel drive, GM says its Encore will be pitted against competitors like the BMW X1 and Audi Q3, both of which are much more expensive but also much more powerful.
