THIS IS A 3 DAY AUCTION ONLY!!!!! Up for bids is a 2002 Buick Rendezvous AWD with 3rd row seating. This vehicle developed an oil leak at the sensor and the owner let the oil level get low and it messed up the bottom end of the engine. The engine will need replaced or the one that's in it can be repaired with a crank shaft kit. No other engine parts are damaged. The Buick has 142000 miles on it and it was being used everyday until the engine problem occurred. This vehicle has just had 4 new tires put on it right before the engine messed up so you know it was being driven daily. The tires are high dollar Cooper tires which are probably $150 each. I cannot tell you a lot about the vehicle as it came to me with this problem but as I said if it weren't a good SUV they would not have put that much in tires for it.It did run but the bottom end of the engine had noise. I pulled the oil pan off to see how bad the damage was and I have it and all the bolts to put it back. Just didn't see the need to reinstall it when it would have to come off again anyway. This Rendezvous is loaded with most every option you could get including the 3rd row seating and backup assist. The interior shows some wear but nothing major although it does need cleaning some. The exterior of this Buick is extra nice as its not all beat up or scratched very much. The paint shines good and the wheels are aluminum and will clean up nice. You can find these engines in most salvage yards very cheap as lots of GM vehicles had the same engine. Drop the engine in and you will have a great SUV for very little investment. The reserve is low and considering the vehicle condition you don't want to miss out on this deal. Remember it has 4 new tires on it which probably cost a total of $600 or more. Checkout my feedback as it is well over 500 and all positive so rest assure your dealing with an honest ebayer. You don't get great feedback like that if you lie and cheat people, I tell it like it is. PLEASE bid only if you are a serious buyer as it costs money to relist these items. I reserve the right to end the auction early as it is listed for sale locally also. Thanks for looking and good luck should you decide to bid on this great Buick Rendezvous. If you have less than 10 positive feedback you need to email me and assure me you are a serious bidder or I will cancel you bid. Sorry. Also this Buick has a very high retail book price when its repaired so the buy it now price I have is a steal. Don't miss out and remember this is a 3 DAY AUCTION.!!!!!

2013 Buick Verano Turbo vs. 2013 Acura ILX 2.4
Tue, 12 Mar 2013Answering The $30,000 Entry-Level Luxury Question
Twenty years ago, a comparison between an entry-level Buick and Acura would have matched a Skylark against an Integra.
Twenty years ago, a comparison between an entry-level Buick and its Acura equivalent would have matched a Skylark against an Integra. The unfair battle would have resulted in the compact American's defeat in nearly every measurable category, as the Japanese competitor was arguably at the height of its powers.
eBay Find Of The Day: 1946 Tucker Torpedo Prototype II hides a secret Riviera
Thu, 10 Jul 2014The Tucker Torpedo is one of the great what-if stories of automotive history. Preston Tucker hoped to revolutionize the industry with a car unlike any other on the road at the time. However, due to a variety of problems, he only managed build 51 vehicles before closing shop. Over time, they have become highly sought-after; In 2012, one sold for $2.65 million at auction.
That brings us to this Tucker "replica" that you see above because it might be one of the ugliest monstrosities ever put together. However, we might extend some leniency to the creator, as the vehicle isn't actually trying to replicate the classic look of the 1948 Tucker Torpedo. Instead, it is attempting to reproduce an earlier prototype from 1946 that actually features that weird, trident nose. According to the seller, his uncle built the car as a labor of love and supposedly used actual plans from Tucker as inspiration.
Underneath all of the crazy changes is a 1971 Buick Riviera powered by a 455-cubic-inch (7.5-liter) Buick V8. Some of the replica's odder modifications include the front fenders that turn with the wheels and the fin running down the back. All three headlights work, but the one in the middle is only for the high beams. Oddly, the small hinged sections on the roof are meant to open to avoid hitting your head when getting in or out. Maybe the seller's uncle was a very tall guy?
Consumer Reports says infotainment systems 'growing first-year reliability plague'
Mon, 27 Oct 2014The Consumer Reports Annual Auto Reliability Survey (right) is out, and the top two spots look much the same as last year's list with Lexus and Toyota in first and second place, respectively. However, there are some major shakeups for 2014, with Acura plunging eight spots from third in 2013 to 11th this year, and Mazda replaces it on the lowest step of the podium. Honda and Audi round out the top five. This year's list includes six Japanese brands in the top 10, two Europeans, one America and one Korean.
Acura isn't the only one taking a tumble, though. Infiniti is the biggest loser this year by dropping 14 spots to 20th place. Other big losses come from Mercedes-Benz with an 11-place fall to 24th, and GMC, which declines 10 positions to 19th.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, it's not traditional mechanical bugs hauling down these automaker's reliability scores. Instead, pesky problems with infotainment systems are taking a series toll on the rankings. According to Consumer Reports, complaints about "in-car electronics" were the most grumbled about element in new cars. Problem areas included things like unresponsive touchscreens, issues pairing phones and multi-use controllers that refused to work right.
