Station Wagon Strong Running Lti Towing Package Winter Rims Tires No Reserve on 2040-cars
Barrie, Ontario, Canada
|
NO RESERVE AUCTION! Selling my 1996 Buick Roadmaster Station Wagon with 178,562 MILES, originally from Pennsylvania. Great running LT1 engine (no smoke or substantial leaks, never have to top up the oil), no transmission leaks, shifts flawlessly, well maintained and mechanically sound, this car drives beautifully. Body is fair and it needs exhaust work but the tires are nearly new and the brakes were done not long ago. Other flaws include a driver's side broken mirror assembly, the power antenna no longer works (still receives local FM stations), cassette player has issues, passenger side rear window comes off the track, the power tailgate window release works when it feels like it and the A/C no longer blows cold. The interior is in very nice shape for its age, no tears or holes in the leather and it has the 3rd seat in back. This wagon has the optional towing package with transmission cooler, heavy duty brakes and radiator, all season radials with less than 5,000 miles on them. Also included are winter rims and tires with lots of tread left, original full size spare and jack. Clear title, Ontario seller's package and service records since I bought the car 8 years ago come with the car. For a nominal investment, this great wagon has lots of life left. It needs some body work, mainly on the passenger side rear quarter and I got an estimate of about $1,500 (parts and labor) to replace the dual exhaust. The driver side rear view mirror assembly also has to be replaced, currently it's being held in place with tape. Some rust is showing under the driver side carpet but the floor seems solid. Please email any questions or call me at 705-790-4004 for questions or to arrange a test drive before bidding. THIS IS A NO RESERVE AUCTION AND THIS WAGON IS BEING SOLD AS IS, WINNING BIDDER OWNS IT! NON REFUNDABLE DEPOSIT OF $200.00 US VIA PAYPAL IS DUE WITHIN 48 HOURS OF AUCTION'S END WITH REMAINDER TO BE PAID BY PAYPAL MONEY ORDER OR US CASH AND VEHICLE PICKED UP WITHIN 7 DAYS OF AUCTION'S END. IF YOU DO NOT HAVE THE FUNDS, PLEASE DO NOT BID. ASK ALL QUESTIONS AND/OR ARRANGE TO VIEW AND DRIVE THIS CAR BEFORE YOU BID! |

How to hack a Buick Regal with CarKnow
Thu, 08 Aug 2013If you own an Apple iPhone or Android device, perhaps you've been tempted to jailbreak or root it. This process gives you access to the the software's code, and can be used to make minor or drastic changes to its operating system. CarKnow, a company in Boston, is working applying a similar concept to the automobile.
Translogic recently took a look inside CarKnow to see just how it can tweak the computers inside a car and what sort of things can be done. As our transportation tech sister site explains, CarKnow basically created a digital duplicate of their Buick Regal in the cloud, while harvesting data generated to create custom apps and infiltrate the deepest function of their test car.
And before you freak out about people maliciously taking over your car, CarKnow's founder, Josh Siegel, stresses that it isn't quite so easy as driving up alongside someone. Take a look at the full video below to see just what it's like to jailbreak a car.
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.
Small number of 2013 Buick Encore models recalled for loose steering wheel
Thu, 04 Apr 2013General Motors has issued a recall and a stop sale for the 2013 Buick Encore due to an issue that could result in the steering wheel falling off on certain models. In a letter to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, GM says that 144 Encores equipped with heated steering wheels could have been incorrectly retrofitted due to a parts shortage.
Needless to say, a loose or separated steering wheel would likely cause an accident if it happened while the vehicle was in motion. The recall doesn't go into effect until April 12, but concerned Encore owners can use the official recall notice (attached below) to contact GM.
