1987 Buick Regal with 'T' package (Option code Y56), Exterior Sport Package (W02), and rare T-Tops with V8 307 Engine
I had this beautiful 87 listed last week and found out that there was an odometer error. I had bought this car last year and was told that it had 75K miles but when I checked the free car history on Ebay last week, I was astonished that the car has an extra 100K miles. To be honest, you would never know this car has mileage above 100K; it truely rides and handles like a low mileage car. My Virginia title states 75K. Has current Virginia inspection and is currently registered.
What I found out from the previous owner is the following new items for restoration in early 2009 (only 8K miles ago):
* New professional paint with two stage clear coat painted at a Chevrolet dealer
* New Weatherstripping
* New Converter
* New Front Brakes
* New Shocks
* New Radiator
* New Belts
* New Carpet
* New Headliner
* Rebuilt Transmission with Shift kit
* New turn signal lever
* New Shift Cable
* New Hood Release cable
New items in 2010 totalling $1,644 w/reciept:
* New Water pump
* New Thermostate and seal
* Upper and lower hoses
* New By pass and heater hoses
* New Master switch
New items in 2012 totalling $354 w/receipt:
* Evacuate and recharge AC system for R134 freon
* New Transmission Mount
* Replace new rear brake line
Why am I selling this beauty? I just got laid off and I need to sell it to pay bills... ;-(

2014 Chevy Malibu, Buick LaCrosse recalled over brake mix-up
Thu, 08 May 2014The recall madness over at General Motors isn't letting up anytime soon, as evidenced by this latest call-back of 8,208 Chevrolet Malibu and Buick LaCrosse sedans. For those keeping track, this is the fifth recall that GM has announced in the past two weeks, not to mention the massive ignition-switch issue from earlier this year.
GM issued a statement saying these sedans are being recalled due to "possible reduced braking performance," according to Automotive News. The problem? Rear brake rotors may have accidentally been installed in the front brake assembly. And since both cars use more robust braking systems up front than out back, braking power could be reduced, increasing the risk of a crash.
Automotive News reports that, of the over 8,000 cars being recalled, about 1,700 are currently in the hands of customers, while the others are still in dealer inventory. GM is unaware of any crashes or injuries related to this problem. All of the affected vehicles are from the 2014 model year.
GM claims it's first to sell million 30+ mpg vehicles
Fri, 04 Jan 2013As we continue to put together all the data for the year-end edition of By The Numbers, General Motors has announced that it sold more than a million vehicles in the US last year that achieved at least 30 miles per gallon on the highway. More impressively, GM managed this feat using multiple strategies including small vehicle size, turbocharged engines and hybrid or plug-in technologies across four brands (Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet and GMC) accounting for 13 separate models. This number will grow even more in 2013 thanks to cars like the all-electric Spark, the diesel Cruze, the range-extended Cadillac ELR and the Buick Encore compact CUV.
GM's small car sales were up 39 percent last year helping to attain this million-sales mark for 30-mpg models, and almost 40 percent of all GM sales consisted of cars with fuel-efficient I4 engines. In regards to more advanced means of improving fuel economy, GM says that it plans on having 500,000 vehicles with "some form of electrification" on the road by 2017.
Scroll down for the full list of GM's million 30+ mpg cars as well as an informative press release.
2014 Buick Regal GS
Mon, 09 Sep 2013A few months ago I drove the 2014 Buick LaCrosse and wrote up a First Drive review of it. For all of my quibbles with that sedan (and I had a fair number), I understand that it speaks to the heart of what new Buick loyalists like in a car; it's roomy, has a cushy ride and is as placid as a summer's morning at highway speeds.
Those qualities, while undeniably desirable, don't mean a whole lot to me personally. I prefer sedans that conjure up words like "nimble," "punchy" or even "raucous" on occasion. So, directionally, the high-performance GS version of the 2014 Buick Regal is more my cup of tea than any other car in the company's current range.
In fact, I'd already come to know the Regal GS from its 2012 model year introduction, and grown more than a little fond of the sporting sedan in its original front-wheel-drive, six-speed-manual guise. The fast, sweet-handling car with well-sorted controls may have suffered from a slight identity crisis in terms of pricing (and may still), but it was undeniably fun to drive. So, when I heard that the GS was coming to market for 2014 with optional all-wheel drive (albeit only in combination with a six-speed automatic transmission), I was stoked to have another go and concentrated my driving impressions on the AWD car.
