Professional mechanic owned 1998 Buick Riviera Supercharged with a 3.8 liter. I have owned this vehicle for a couple years and it has been a great car. I hate to part with it, but now with two kids growing up, it's time to let this two door coupe go. I maintain all of my vehicles to stay in great shape and knowing this one had a few issues when I purchased it, I have since fixed all of them. The front brakes, wheel hub assembly, radiator, spark plugs, wires, fuel filter, a/c compressor, orifice tube, drier, tie rod end and front struts have all been replaced with O.E.M. parts and then aligned. It has air shocks in the rear with auto leveling. The rear tires are new and the front have about 50% life remaining. The following services, transmission, coolant, power steering and brake system all flushed and filled. Everything works great on this car, the only exception; when the sunroof is used, it makes a clicking noise and requires you to help it along a bit in order to get it closed. We just dont use it. The paint is very glossy but does have a couple spots where the clear coat is peeling. The front bumper cover and a small area next to the sun roof. It has imperfections from rock chips on the body that have been filled with touch up paint. I do have the original owners manual and a small bottle of touch up paint. Has no dents or rust. A non smoker car also. I am able to get 27 MPG on the highway. It has 182k miles but this vehicle runs and drives awesome! These engines are known for going upwards as 300k. I run a synthetic blend and it does not burn any oil. This Buick will be worry free for the next person for a long time. Any question please ask. You can either email or call John at 970-799-2674. If I don't answer, leave a message and I will call you back as soon as possible. Thanks for looking.

Opel Insignia OPC getting facelift. Will the Buick Regal GS see it, too?
Tue, 07 Aug 2012We've seen spy shots of the base Opel Insignia wearing facelifted front and rear ends, and now it appears that the more potent OPC version will be benefitting from a nip/tuck, as well.
The front bumper has been redesigned, incorporating new air intakes - toned-down versions of the model's signature fangs - as well as a new grille. Out back, there will be minimal changes to the overall fascia, most likely stuff like slightly redesigned taillamps, and inside, these spy shots show a larger navigation/infotainment screen sitting atop the center console.
This is all well and good for the Insignia, but we're wondering how these changes will impact North America's Buick Regal GS. No, it may not share the same powertrain punch as the Euro-spec OPC, but visually, the cars are nearly identical. When questioned about possible changes for the GS, a Buick spokesperson told us that the automaker "can't comment" on any changes at this point. Even so, we wouldn't be surprised if some small changes come our way in the next year or so.
Buick shows off new Ultra Luxury Interior for LaCrosse
Sun, 27 Apr 2014The options sheet of the 2014 Buick LaCrosse gets all kinds of fancy with the addition of the Ultra Luxury Interior. Pointing its Tri-Shield logo at the world of haute luxury, the cabin treatment combines sangria leather with ebony accents, shadow tamo ash wood trim and a microsuede headliner to "drive fashion forward."
You'll need to start with LaCrosse models with the 3.6-liter V6 and either the Leather, Premium or Premium II trims to go all Brioni and Buckingham on the cabin, and the privilege package will run you $2,495. We're told that you won't find such contrasting hues anywhere else in the class, though, and that kind of exclusivity might make any price a bargain.
You can find more information on the Ultra Luxury Interior in the press release below, along with some intensely fashion-foward gobbledygook.
Buick asks design students 'What could a Buick sedan look like in 2030?'
Mon, 09 Jun 2014When you think of daring concept cars or emotional design-student projects, Buick probably isn't the first brand that comes to mind. It's not for lack of concepts; when General Motors ran down 11 concept-car highlights from Buick's 110-year history, three of them are from the past 15 years, with other experiments in that same timeframe like the Black Hawk, Centieme and Cielo left unmentioned.
But the company still thinks about them even if we don't. It ran a contest for students at Detroit's College for Creative Studies to create a Buick for the year 2030 that would incorporate future materials and transportation needs, and nanotechnology.
Best exterior design went to Sam Kenny for his Neo Classical Buick, Justin Salmon took honors for innovative material use, like having exposed algae on the bodyshell to generate energy, and Namsuk Lee nabbed best overall concept and best interior for his Buick Vision Sedan. You can read more about the design challenge and winners in the press release, and hear students talk about what went into the work in the video below.
