AS-IS
Car has been fitted with a great glasspack & muffler, has a very deep throaty sound. Combined with the solid black paint and overall profile you'll be turning heads everywhere you go! This car is powerful yet smooth, can be driven hard & fast or cruised in style. Power steering is extremely smooth, handles great for such a large framed car of its age!
This is a big car, has HUGE trunk space and can comfortably fit 3 in the back and 2 in front, a 3rd can squeeze in the front if needed as well.
Recently had the radiator hoses replaced.
Carb was rebuilt in late 2010.
The body is in great shape, small dent on right side (mid body) was long painted over when purchased.
The car was one of my daily drivers, very reliable and very very fast
The BAD:
Needs a new battery, current battery is at the end of its life
AC needs freon but did work thru the summer of 2011
Steering wheel missing original Buick logo
One tire likes to lose air randomly (had to fill it back up to match the other tires by about 10 every 3-4 weeks)
Due to business deployment I am not home enough to enjoy or take care of the car, have been away since Mid December. I had a week home in January when I fired it up and took it for a quick spin. After that its been sitting undriven. I was told by a family member that the battery needed to be fully charged overnight recently for the car to fire up. Was told it turned twice and then the lights and stereo died out as the battery failed. When I last left my mechanic did inform me the battery was failing so I wasn't surprised to hear this. The car could also use an oil change as it's been about 2500-3000 miles since its last change (plus about 3 1/2 months after those miles)
While I do love this car I feel it's time to let it go, send it off to its next awesome home & owner. As things stand now it's sitting there unadmired and aching to grab attention. Use it as your daily driver, or do some work to make it more powerful or even turn it into a show car with enough time put in!
Title is clear
This car is being sold AS-IS with NO WARRANTY. While it has been reliable for me it is an older car which has its fair share of typical wear & I cannot be responsible for any unforeseen issues. As stated it was driven fine in early January & last fired up (but not driven) early March after having it's battery recharged over night.

GM laying off 510 amidst slow Cadillac, small car sales
Wed, 12 Nov 2014General Motors is laying off about 510 workers from two factories beginning in January, and it could be months before the automaker needs some of that latent capacity to come back on line. A combination of poor sales and high dealer inventories are prompting the cutbacks, according to Automotive News.
The largest changes come at GM's Lansing Grand River plant, where the Cadillac ATS and CTS are made. An entire shift of about 350 workers is being laid off, but the automaker hopes to find positions for some of them at other nearby factories. The decision leaves just a single shift building vehicles there. According to Automotive News, the move is partially spurred by Johan de Nysschen's plan to make Cadillac a more exclusive brand.
The lost shift will likely return for production of the next-generation Chevrolet Camaro at the plant, according to the report, but GM isn't saying when that will be. A previous announcement from the Canadian Auto Workers union indicated that the Oshawa, Ontario, factory would lose the coupe in late 2015 or early 2016.
GM delivers best Q3 sales since 1980, 2.4M vehicles sold
Wed, 15 Oct 2014People are a weird sort. Even after registering over 70 recalls through the first three-quarters of 2014, General Motors saw its best Q3 results since Jimmy Carter was in the White House, registering over 2.4 million global sales between June and September on the back of strong results in the US and China.
US sales were marshaled by good results for GM's pickups, the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra, which bumped the manufacturer's truck market share to 35.6 percent, up nearly three points from Q1 2014. Buick has seen healthy growth as well, with the Encore dominating its segment for the sixth month running.
It was China, though, that really bolstered GM's sales, as the company's efforts to top last year's record-setting 3.16 million units continued apace. Small SUV sales saw massive growth, with Encore, Chevrolet Trax and Captiva figures jumping 90 percent in Q3. Brand-wise, Chevrolet, Cadillac and Buick all saw sales gains in the PRC, with each recording double-digit year-over-year jumps. Cadillac sales alone were up 63 percent compared to the first nine months of 2013.
2014 Buick LaCrosse to sticker at $34,060*
Tue, 18 Jun 2013Buick first showed the facelifted 2014 LaCrosse at this year's New York Auto Show, and General Motors' luxury-ish arm has now confirmed that pricing for the updated sedan will start at $34,060 (*including $925 for destination), a increase of $1,505 over the 2013 model.
Buyers will be treated to an updated appearance, both inside and out. On the outside, tweaks were made to the LaCrosse's front and rear fascias, and new wheels are on offer (though the ones seen on the car pictured above seem to have been simply pulled from the 2011 Regal Turbo). Inside, there's a much cleaner center stack layout, complete with a standard eight-inch reconfigurable touchscreen IntelliLink interface. Buick is also offering a new Ultra Luxury interior package ($2,495), featuring Tamo Ash wood throughout the cabin, black synthetic suede on the headliner and leather seats in a new sangria color. Standalone options include different wheels, Bose audio, rear seat entertainment, navigation and a sunroof.
The 2014 LaCrosse's base powertrain is the trusty 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine with eAssist, which is capable of achieving up to 36 miles per gallon on the highway. But for folks wanting more power, a 304-horsepower, 3.6-liter V6 is available as a no-cost option, available with either front- or all-wheel drive.
