Up for auction is a 2005 Buick LeSabre Custom Sedan with 160,977 highway miles that was used regularly as a vehicle for long distance trips 
between Long Island, NY and the Washington, DC area. It's a very reliable vehicle that has been well maintained, was a non-smoker car and 
always garage kept.  The car comes equipped with a 4-speed automatic transmission, heated leather seats, traction control, CD stereo and full 
interior power features.  It has the Cashmere (dark tan) exterior and tan interior that are a great color combo. I inherited the car from my 
late Aunt Susan's estate, as she sadly passed away earlier this year from a prolonged battle with breast cancer. Title is in now in my name after
being 
transferred to me through probate.  I am selling the vehicle because I have no need for a second vehicle (simply don't drive enough miles to
justify it). 
However, I've had it checked out by a trusted local mechanic and have also been driving it twice a week to ensure it's being run regularly. 
The condition is described below in detail based on what I know.

Condition Report

This car was well maintained by my Aunt due to her regular long trips to DC as she did not want to get stuck on the highway with a breakdown. 
We were very close and talked about a lot of her trips. I only wish I could find the service records for you, not sure where they were kept. Anyway, 
this LeSabre looks great for being 8 years of age and the body is in fantastic shape, as I mentioned it was garage kept it's entire life.
The 3800 (3.8L) V6 motor is strong and powerful. If you do any research on this car, you'll find that this motor is one of the best that GM has ever
made and commonly runs for 300,000+ miles as long as the oil and engine coolant are changed at normal intervals. The car starts u
p effortlessly
every time and the transmission shifts smoothly. The 
heater heats the car up quickly and the A/C blows ice cold. The battery is still going strong
(it's a long life battery so should be good for a 
few more years). The EPA estimates the mileage at 18 mpg city/28 mpg highway.
 I have been getting 25 mpg in mixed highway and local driving.

Below, I am fully disclosing everything I observed visually on the interior and exterior of the car:

On the exterior, the Cashmere paint is in very good condition, with less than normal wear for its age, which means there are a some very minor 
exterior scratches but no dings or damage of any consequence. There isn’t any visible rust on the body either. The paint is likewise very glossy
over the entire body. The undercarriage is clean and in great condition and this car does not have any fluid drips or leaks underneath. The tires 
all have good remaining tread life (20%+), however, one of the rear tires is non-matching (General tire). All are size P215/70R15s.

On the interior, the tan front seats are still in very good shape with no holes or tears and only normal wear, as you will see in the pictures.
The rear seats are in excellent condition and hardly look worn at all. 
All of the trim panels and trim pieces are intact, tight and in great condition.
Driver's seat occasionally shifts ever so slightly on tight cornering but is hardly noticeable - may need bolt tightened. The steering wheel looks good
with only minor wear and a few tiny scratches on a few the steering wheel control buttons. All electronics, lighting, mirrors, windows, interior buttons
and switches are functioning properly except for the driver's heated seat button which is not working - passenger side heated seat is fine. I don't have
an estimate on getting the switch repaired but can't imagine it would be costly, anyway you won't need it for awhile going into Summer.
Also, the 
gauges all work except for the tachometer (RPM gauge). It's basically useless on an automatic and I remember my Aunt saying it
pegged out after 
her factory warranty expired and she never thought it was worth repairing. If it bothers you my mechanic advised the entire instrument
cluster can be sent 
out for repair at $125 parts and 1 hours of labor to remove and re-install the cluster, so ~ $200 fix.

All fluids are in good shape, nothing needs to be replaced for awhile. I just had the oil and filter changed so it's good to go for another 3000+ miles.
Front brakes have 5 mm on the pads and 4 mm on the rear brakes, so you are good there. Rear shocks need to be done soon, but you're OK driving
for now. Incidentally they are air shocks but Monroe makes a conversion kit. I can show you where to get the kit for $110 and then you would just need
to pay labor, unless you can do the work yourself. 
The floor mats are original and clean with normal wear. The trunk area is likewise in good condition
(see photo) and the spare tire, jack and accessories 
are all there. Two factory keys and one fully functional remote are included along with the original
owner's and maintenance manuals in the glove box. 
If you want a second remote, they are going for as low as $15 used in good condition on eBay and
you can get it programmed by an automotive locksmith for $50 (have done this with several cars that don't have on-board programming).  

After I got the new title and registration, just had the car pass NJ inspection. NJ inspection sticker good through May 2015 and it's ready to drive away. 
I would not hesitate to drive this car anywhere, it's that solid.

Will you get a great deal on this LeSabre?

Well of course I am going to say I think you'll get a terrific deal given the vehicle's condition but don’t just take my word for it. The Kelly Blue Book
value for this car is over $5,000. Since this is a NO RESERVE auction you have a chance to save a bundle.

I highly recommend you visit the Kelly Blue Book site to see how highly rated and reliable this car is by hundreds of other consumers
(Overall rating of 8.8/10 which is really a strong rating since many cars are rated under 8/10 very few make it 9/10 or above). 

FREE BONUS

Because I want you to have a great customer experience and be thrilled with the car, you get the following FREE BONUS:

  • Full Tank of Gas - I knows gas prices are high, so the car comes with a full tank to save you a few bucks. ($64 value)

Buy with confidence, 100% positive feedback on 259 ratings since joining eBay in 2000. This is also the eight family vehicle I have sold on eBay Motors,
so you will see other positive feedback in my profile indicating how other eBay Motors buyers felt about their vehicle deal and their experience working
with me as a seller. Integrity is everything when buying a car online.

Please note that since this 2005 Buick LeSabre is also listed locally for sale, so it may be test driven by other potential buyers, thus listed mileage
in this auction may not be exact and is only guaranteed to be accurate within 200 miles.

If you have any questions or concerns about the car, please feel free to give Ryan a call at 732-407-2878. I don’t hide behind my eBay user name
or email address, unlike some other eBay Motors sellers.

Thank you for visiting and happy bidding!

Buick boss shuts down idea of importing Opel Adam

Wed, Mar 30 2016

Anyone hoping for Buick to sell small city cars in America, you're not going to like this story. Buick boss Duncan Aldred has effectively ruled out importing the stylish Opel Adam city car for US drivers. Yep, this is us being bummed. Admittedly, the business case for Adam is not as strong as it used to be. Gas is cheap and consumers have fallen back in love with the idea of high-riding crossovers instead of efficient cars. That's why Buick sold twice as many teeny, tiny Encore CUVs in 2015 as it did its smallest car, the Verano. With that in mind, slotting in another car, let alone one below the Verano, isn't a great idea. Of course, Aldred didn't come out and say as much, even though he campaigned for a US-market Adam in the past. "I very much did feel when I came over that that could really help accelerate the Buick brand story," the executive told Automotive News at last week's New York Auto Show. "I don't see that as much. Whether the market shifted or the fashion nature of those cars has changed, I don't know. But I wouldn't be looking for a small, B-segment car today." That, friends, is a real bummer. Adding a car like the Adam, even in a small, captive-import capacity would add a real dose of fun to Buick showrooms and (we're guessing) would bring in younger foot traffic. Related Video:

Automakers' sound systems: Crank it, don't yank it

Thu, Jun 21 2018

Years ago, one of the first things most music lovers did after buying a new vehicle was drive to an aftermarket stereo shop to get the crappy stock components swapped for better gear. And you'd typically get not only better sound but also more bang (and boom) for your buck. But in the past decade or so, the overall quality of OEM audio has dramatically increased, while car electronics became more complex, removing the incentive for most new vehicle owners — and all but the most hardcore DIYer — to start from scratch. In 2010, I did a comparison of the average costs for OEM electronics vs. similar offerings from the aftermarket, and back then automakers' stock premium systems were by far the best bargain — and are probably an even better value now. The premium 14-speaker, 1,200-watt JBL system in the all-new 2019 Toyota Avalon is a prime example of this trend. It's standard on the top two Limited and Touring trims and is available as a $680 audio upgrade on the XLE and XSE. I doubt you can even buy 14 speakers and 1,200 watts of amplification from the aftermarket for 700 bucks, much less have it all installed. And because the system is bundled with Toyota's Entune infotainment system, Apple CarPlay and a surround-view camera, removing the head unit means you would likely lose these features. Another advantage of OEMs and their audio partners is they can design the car around the audio system. In the past, automakers would typically place speakers where convenient for packaging, not for optimal sound reproduction, and audio engineers were forced to compromise. But as with the Avalon's premium JBL audio system, this is starting to change. At a recent behind-the-scenes peek for media into the process of developing the system, Toyota and Harman engineers delved into the minutia of sealing the inner panel of the front doors to create an enclosure for 6x8-inch woofers, making space in the pillars for JBL horn tweeters and extensively measuring the acoustic properties of the interior to tune the sound to the space. I'm met some creative and skilled car stereo installers, but none with a degree in psychoacoustics. The system is also the first to feature Quantum Logic Surround that creates a multi-channel listening experience from two-channel sources. And it includes Harman's Clari-Fi processing that "rebuilds key details lost" in compressed audio formats used by streaming music services and MP3s.

2020 Buick LaCrosse images leaked on Chinese website

Fri, Nov 16 2018

Buick is planning a refreshed version of its LaCrosse full-size sedan for the Chinese market, judging by these photos discovered by the site Auto Verdict on a Chinese government site used to certify upcoming new models. We can only see exterior cosmetic changes, but they bring the LaCrosse more in line with the styling of the new Regal and Enclave models, leading to speculation that it won't be long until the changes show up in the U.S. The front three-quarters photo shows off a redesigned front fascia, with slimmed-down headlights that are now tied to the grille instead of set apart by body-color surround, thanks to some new chrome treatment. There's also a chrome wing on the grille, similar to what's seen on the 2019 Enclave and new Regal. The lower front fascia is also different, with new L-shaped fog lamps. On the rear, there's a new chrome wing connecting and intersecting the taillights and surrounding the badge. There's no word about any interior changes, but they'd likely be minor in keeping with the exterior updates. Buick most recently debuted a 2019 LaCrosse Sport Touring version, while a mild hybrid model arrived for 2018. China, of course, has become Buick's largest market, but the picture is less rosy stateside amid dimming prospects for sedans, as consumers flock to crossovers and SUVs. In the third quarter, U.S. sales of the LaCrosse fell 31.1 percent from the prior-year period. Between January and the end of September, GM had sold 13,409, which was a decline of 14.2 percent. Its full-year 2017 sales totaled 20,161, which was down almost 27 percent from 2016. For perspective, Buick sold more than twice that number — 42,035 — as recently as 2015. The current generation launched in 2017. Related Video: Featured Gallery 2020 Buick LaCrosse China Image Credit: Buick Design/Style Buick Luxury Sedan
