hi, folks. up for sale is an oldtimer's, old, Buick wagon. yes, I know it is old, I am too and I run almost as good as this car. showing just 64,800 miles, this is an unlikely CAR to see, but it is true... OK, I did not choose to shoot in the rain, but it actually worked out fine as the car needed a bath, anyway.
starts, stops, steers great. the motor is fine, smooth, quiet and even firing. idles a little high @ 900rpm, but I do not know how to adjust. this is a fuel injected 305 C.I. GM motor, and runs great. tranny shifts from park to drive with no drama, pulls out great and shifts through all the gears at the right time. fluids are good, oil clean, newer belts, no issues.
the battery has been replaced, but I am taking it to my mechanic tomorrow as we think it needs an alternator (AMP light on, although car drives fine...). there are no other lights on or issues.
motor and tranny fine. drives great; but... it is a big, older car and drives old school. a bit of over-steer, soft ride, does not corner at high speeds too well. cruising around town, or on the highway... actually safe, quiet and comfy; I like it. drifts a little to the right on occasion, tires are old and soft, brakes are excellent, a/c and heater does not blow (i'll check on it tomorrow), I am guessing bad blower motor or fuse, switch,. i'll make sure the car is OK for the drive home as far as the charging system, can only give you a heads up on the blower.
windows, p/steering, radio, gauges, odometer, light, horn, wipers, blinkers, speedometer, etc, all A-OK. no fluid leaks visible, belts, hoses, bracket, etc all good. the motor is fine, no knock, ticks or tocks, very smooth. all original interior, and showing some age, but all in all better than what you would look for in a car this age.
it has a sunroof of sorts, looks and feels like leather, alloy wheels, 2 keys and proper center caps. the body and paint are fine, but the body-side moldings, only the rubber strips, are loosing hold in some areas and the wood-grain trim molding is damaged on the left rear side in a small section. no dings, no dents, no broken bits except on rear tail lamp has some light cracking and my guess is simply due to age. this car has been around a long time and looks like it was never, ever crashed or hurt bad.
i'll post later regarding the alternator issue. I am happy to sort that out and will, of course, pay for repairs and will document work performed. please feel fre to bid and buy. call or email anytime, happy to help. thnx !!
the Buick is exactly as shown and at my home. feel free to come by, or have an inspection done locally.

38k GM eAssist hybrids recalled for circuit board, fire risk
Mon, 06 May 2013General Motors has issued a recall covering 38,197 2012 and 2013 model-year Chevy Malibu Eco, Buick LaCrosse and Regal sedans equipped with eAssist, and sold in the United States. The automaker will check the generator control module for proper operation. Only vehicles built before December 2012 are being recalled.
According to the automaker, a malfunctioning generator control module could slowly drain the battery, causing an indicator to light up in the dash. If that indicator is ignored, the driver may experience a stalling engine, and in some cases, "a burning or melting odor, smoke, and, in rare instances, a fire in the trunk."
GM says the issue is not with the eAssist battery pack; the smoke and fire comes from overheating of the control board. One trunk fire has been reported, but no injuries are known. Scroll down below for the official press release from GM.
First 2013 Buick Encore TV ad features... dinosaurs
Thu, 14 Mar 2013The whole "SUVs as dinosaurs" trope has become something of a threadbare cliché among auto writers, but that doesn't mean the wider world of consumers has caught on to the Jurassic nature of our line of thinking. That's what General Motors appears to be betting on, at least. Just check out Buick's first television spot for its 2013 Encore, the tiny crossover that is pushing the Tri-Shield into territories unknown while looking to outrun the brand's reputation as a refuge for elderly clientele.
Set to air this weekend on ESPN during the NCAA college basketball tournament, the ad plays up the Encore's maneuverability and surprising interior space by setting the baby Buick amongst a herd of lumbering CG dinosaurs created by Tippett Studio, the folks behind Hollywood blockbusters like Jurassic Park, Ted, and the Twilight series of films.
We can't help but snigger a little - while the Encore is indeed surprisingly roomy, nimble, and composed, our first drive found it to be glacially slow, too... not unlike a certain prehistoric race of animals. Check out the commercial below and judge for yourself.

Wed, 24 Jul 2013A Nice, New Buick Aims For Middle Of The Road
Any time someone describes some portion of a car or a driving experience as being "nice," I want to either A) throttle them or B) run as fast and as far as I can from that vehicle. "Nice" is among the most insidious words in the English language - at best it's vague, and at worst, it conveys the exact opposite of its literal meaning. Yet it seems to be used with damnable frequency when it comes to verbally illustrating vehicles. "It looks really nice," or "These seats feel nice," or, heaven forefend, "It's got a nice ride," are all windy signifiers of absolutely nothing resembling a concrete opinion. "Nice" is the adjectival equivalent of meekly smiling and nodding your head.
Of course, I'm as guilty as the next person of having thrown English's least powerful descriptor around. There's even a chance that, rant aside, you'll catch me making nice in reviews to come. That's fine, but you should know that when you stumble upon such usage, past or future, that you've found a sentence in which I'm simply applying a bare minimum of effort to the task.
