Up for bid is my 1986 Buick Lesabre Estate Wagon Hearse. I am unsure of the coach builder as there are no markings I am aware of. This is a standard Estate Wagon frame, making it a shorter body than most hearses, so it is an excellent entry level coach. It has the standard back door with a power window. The previous owner had removed the casket table, I installed the proper back seat and third row seat for the standard Estate Wagon. The back seat has seatbelts installed, but not the shoulder straps as there are no existing anchors on the car. You can install them yourself or remove the shoulder straps altogether. I was also able to find the proper trim as well, so it is truly a hearse for the family.
The car has a new water pump, thermostat, new battery and radiator. The stereo has been replaced with an in dash DVD player which can be easily wired to a back up camera. The brakes need work, it has the hydro boost system and the break booster is no longer working, it could be something simple or the brake booster may need to be replaced, probably not a big deal to someone who knows what they are doing. It can also be changed over to a vacuum break system with little modification. The air conditioner blows cool, but not cold and the cruise control doesn't engage. There is a rust spot near the back door as well as the spare tire compartment with small areas of light surface rust, but nothing major. There is also a dent on the passenger rear quarter panel which has mostly been bumped back out. As with nearly all Lesabres the plastic fenders are cracking, I have the majority of the missing pieces to the front which can be reassembled and fiberglassed. The back is mostly missing, but is a flat expanse, so it can be replaced with whatever you wish. The vinyl top has a bit of cracking, but all cracks and splits have been sealed with silicone and the top painted, so it is watertight. This was my daily driver for about two years and has always been reliable.
This car has endless possibilities, it can fit 4'x8' sheets of plywood with the front seat pushed all the way forward and has seating for eight.
Serious bidders only please, a $250.00 deposit is due within 72 hours of the closing bid with the difference payable via money order, cashier's check or cash in person within seven days. The car is being sold as is and where is. I have described the vehicle to the best of my knowledge, there may be other issues which I am unaware of, but it did pass all other points of a PA state inspection with the exception of the brakes. Thanks for looking and good luck!

GM recalls nearly 24,000 Buick Regals for brake issue
Mon, Jul 18 2022Buick is recalling 2018-2020 model year Regals to address a software defect in the braking system that would result in a loss of power assist under certain circumstances, making the brakes difficult to operate and potentially leading to a crash. In total, 23,734 models are covered by the campaign. "In the event of a partial or full loss of vacuum-brake assist, the vehicle’s hydraulic-brake boost is designed to supply supplemental pressure to the vehicleÂ’s brake system. A software error in the electronic brake control module (EBCM) may fail to activate the hydraulic-brake boost under these conditions," GM said in its defect report to NHTSA. "If the vehicleÂ’s vacuum-power brake assist partially or fully fails, braking events may require additional stopping distance, depending on the brake pedal force applied by the driver. Increased stopping distances could increase the risk of a crash." GM says that a warning indicator will illuminate in the dash if the system completely fails, and drivers may notice an increase in brake pedal resistance. Failure will not render the brakes inoperable, but they will require more force to operate. GM has begun notifying dealers of the defect; owners should be notified starting in August.  Related video: Recalls Buick GM Safety Hatchback Wagon Sedan
2018 Buick Regal GS First Drive Review | More power, style and doors
Wed, Mar 7 2018During our test-drive of the 2018 Regal GS, Buick took us to Atlanta Motorsports Park and hired stunt drivers to teach us mild-mannered journalists how to do a J-turn. It's an emergency maneuver, also known as a Rockford, in which the car reverses at full speed, spins 180 degrees and takes off in the exact opposite direction from where it was headed. It symbolized perfectly Buick's hopes for the Regal GS, its most ambitious attempt yet at a bona fide American sports sedan. Buick is trying to shake off decades of stigma as a maker of grandpa-spec wafters. Since 2008, it has been rebadging the Opel Insignia, developed by GM's German subsidiary and built in Russelsheim, as the Regal. In 2012, Buick revived the Regal GS badge, providing power from a 2.0-liter turbo four, initially at 270 horsepower but then detuned to 259 hp in 2014 as AWD was introduced. Buick had high hopes of challenging the luxury greats, and while the previous Regal GS received good reviews as a genuine sports sedan, it never really caught on in the marketplace. Buick took a risk by redefining the brand, but ultimately, it wasn't quite successful enough to be uttered in the same breath as BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Lexus. The 2018 Regal GS doubles down on that lofty goal with a better-fleshed-out version of the outgoing car. It returns with improved styling and even more power, courtesy of a naturally aspirated 3.6-liter V6 generating 310 horsepower and 282 lb-ft of torque. In other words, the new GS is up 40 horses, but down 13 lb-ft with an engine that comes straight from the GM parts bin. Within GM, it is known as the "High Feature" engine, used in everything from Cadillacs to V6 Camaros to the GMC Acadia. Autoblog has knocked this engine on refinement but generally praised its power, so it's a mixed bag. On the Regal GS, though, the drivetrain exhibited a marked improvement on the refinement front. Buick spokesperson Stuart Fowle attributed this to the new nine-speed automatic it's mated to, a quick and smooth-shifting transmission well-programmed to keep the engine at optimal revs. The result deviates quite a bit from the Opel Insignia, which maxes out with a turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-four good for 197 horses and 300 lb-ft. With turbo 2.0-liter fours now the de facto entry-level engine for most luxury carmakers, having the 3.6-liter V6 makes the 2018 Regal GS more distinctive, a bit more American and less of a European copy-paste job than its predecessor.
GM China President says automaker could export vehicles from China to US
Sat, 20 Apr 2013At a press conference on Saturday at the Shanghai Motor Show, General Motors announced plans to further expand its presence in the Chinese market. Among those commitments are plans to build four new plants by the end of 2015, giving the automaker the capacity to produce around five million vehicles a year in the country.
In order to make the most of that expansion, GM is adding 400 dealerships in China this year alone (for a total of 4,200 sales points), and it's eyeing 5,100 dealers by 2015. Yet not all of that production will stay in China - GM is planning to increase exports as well. Officials estimate the company will export somewhere between 100,000 and 130,000 Chinese-built vehicles this year - a record. And it's gunning for more.
Autoblog asked GM China president Bob Socia (above) if that means the company might eventually export new vehicles built in China to the United States, and he responded:
