A very nice 2 owner Buick Riviera. Bought new in NM it has never left the state which means NO RUST. In 1983 Buick celebrated its' 20th anniversary with the "XX Anniversary model". Only 502 hardtops badged as “XX Anniversary Edition” models, where produced. These cars got special REAL!! NOT HUB CAPS!! wire wheels, 24K gold-plated badging, and some serious upgrades like hand-made 24 ounce wool carpeting, English walnut wood veneer plates, and a wood steering wheel. Mechanically, these cars had the 4.1-liter V-6 (or optional 5.0-liter V-8 which this car has which makes it even rarer), four-wheel disc brakes, and the Gran Touring suspension .
This car is In very good condition , mileage indicated is 53088. The car fax report shows that the mileage was 30,050 in October of 1996 then in October of 1998 it was 139,147, an obvious reporting error . I'm sure the cars' mileage is 53088 because of the great overall condition of the interior and exterior. starts and drives very well, all the glass is good, has the padded half top, tires, brakes etc are all good. Suede leather seats, the cruise control was disconnected before I got the car so I dont know if this was done due to a broken cable ( most likely) or the head control. No electrical or mechanical problems , power everything. the seats have power lumbar bags and are power , power windows all work ok, ac works although not as cold as I would like it, power locks, am/fm cassette plays fine., tilt steering wheel. A rock or something hit the front bumper just below the headlights on the passenger side and caused a circular crack about the size of a baseball in the plastic facia but the rest of the body is fine with no dents or damage. Fly in, drive it home.
Advertising locally so I reserve the right to end this auction at any time. questions? call or text dean 505-414-0617 also looking for straight acroos trade, make offer, all I can say is "no".

Buick Verano to go turbo-only for 2014?
Sat, 22 Dec 2012If VIN tags recently posted online prove accurate, the 2014 Buick Verano may be getting a new base engine. Presently the Verano makes use of GM's 2.4-liter Ecotec four-cylinder engine in non-turbo trim; 2014 documentation appears to indicate that GM's entry-level luxury compact will instead feature a 1.6-liter turbocharged mill.
If this is the same engine seen in Europe, GM Inside News suggests it may offer 192 horsepower and 170 pound-feet of torque - useful improvements over the larger naturally aspirated mill's 180 hp and 171 lb-ft. More importantly, the downsized engine would likely improve on the Verano's current fuel mileage estimates of 21 city and 31 highway.
We like the Verano in both of its current iterations, but the 1.6 turbo engine sounds like a worthwhile upgrade if this reports turns out to be true. Plus, if more performance is your bag, baby, there's always the Verano's optional 2.0 turbo engine with an impressive 250 horsepower and 260 lb-ft from just 2.0 liters of displacement.

Lutz dishes dirt on GM in latest Autoline Detroit
Mon, 20 Jun 2011Bob Lutz sits down for Autoline Detroit - Click above to watch video after the jump
Autoline Detroit recently played host to Bob Lutz, and, as is always the case, the former General Motors vice chairman dished out some great commentary. Lutz was promoting his new book Car Guys vs. Bean Counters: The Battle for the Soul of American Business, and talk quickly turned to his role as it related to product development and high-level decision making at GM. While on the topic of brand management, Lutz revealed a few rather interesting tidbits about his former employer:
All Chevrolet vehicles were required to have five-spoke aluminum wheels and a chrome band up front, as part of the Bowtie brand's overall image.
