1985 Buick Century Limited

 

TIME CAPSULE!  This one owner, garage kept vehicle has only 23,800 original miles!  It is here on consignment by a family whose mother bought it brand new in Fort Worth, TX in June 1985.

 

 

The car looks like it came out of a 1985 Buick showroom.  It even has the original 1985 Buick brochure showing all the colors, the options, etc.  It is the Dark Red Metallic exterior color with the matching Dark Red Metallic velour interior.  It was originally a car provided to the golfers at the 1985 Colonial Invitational Tournament in Fort Worth, TX and was sold as a “demo” by Tyson Buick with 662 miles to its owner.  It was driven very infrequently over the past 28 years, spending most of its time in the garage, not exposed to the outdoors in any way.

 

The car has power windows, power door locks, tilt wheel, cruise control and power mirrors.  It has the optional power seat, the optional wire wheels, the optional digital dash and the optional power antenna.  The car starts and runs great.  The transmission shifts smoothly.  The A/C blows ice cold (we converted it to R 134). It is a non-smoker’s vehicle.

 

The interior fabric is absolutely perfect with no rips, tears, sags or anything.  The headliner is perfect.  The dash and vinyl are perfect.  The whitewall tires have about 60 percent tread remaining.  The wire wheels are perfect and the car has the factory wire wheel “key”, still in the plastic pouch.

 

The owner kept meticulous fuel and maintenance records in a small red notebook in the glove box.  I have shown photos from a couple of the pages on the website www.briansplaceonline.com.  I have every receipt from Bruner Motors in Stephenville, TX showing all the work performed in the past 28 years.  I have summarized the maintenance below.

 

Maintenance history:

·         1,456 miles          Oil and filter change

·         3,475 miles          Oil and filter change

Cosmetic Issues (all shown in photos on our website):

·         Scratches on trunk lid, rear fenders that appear to be cat claw marks. 

·         Small chip in paint on passenger side front fender

·         Small chip in paint on passenger front door

·         One small chip on the front fender near the headlight assembly with a small bit of corrosion on the scrape.

·         Small ding in passenger rear fender (no paint break)

·         Original dealer sticker on drivers side on trunk lid has some small cracks

·         Original Walt Disney bumper sticker has peeled apart

·         Original “Heartbeat of America” Chevrolet bumper sticker has some cracking

·         Paint needs to be waxed, appears to have original finish

·         Trunk mat has some padding on the underside that has come apart and is flaking

 

Mechanical Issues:

·         Windshield washer motor is INOP

·         Power seat motor for driver’s seat runs, but does not change seat positions.  My mechanic says it is the power seat motor “transmission” that needs to be replaced.

·         Motor idles a bit rough, but runs smoothly on highway.  Added about 7 gallons of fresh fuel and added fuel additive.  Starts right up, runs great.

 

 

You will not find another 1985 Buick with these miles or in this condition anywhere, except maybe a Buick museum somewhere.  It is the real deal, all mileage documented with both the owner’s records and dealer records.  The title is a clear Texas title.  The car has current Texas inspection. 

 

I will be selling this as a motor vehicle dealer, so I will be collecting tax, title and license fees on the sale. We will provide a temporary tag as part of the TT&L process so you can drive it until your plates arrive.  If you are an out of state buyer, we will collect a small VIT (vehicle inventory tax) that is $ .1486 per $100 and the $5.00 temporary tag fee. 

 

Delivery is available right to your driveway.  We can deliver it for $2.50 per loaded mile or you can contract with a carrier of your own choosing. 

 

There are many photos of the car on our website www.briansplaceonline.com.  Please call (254.646.2170) or email with questions.  The car is for sale locally at our dealership.  This listing will be removed when it is no longer available for sale.

NFL QB Cam Newton and supermodel Miranda Kerr star in Buick's Super Bowl ad

Wed, Feb 1 2017

Buick's Super Bowl LI ad is another demonstration that its cars aren't frumpy anymore. The ad opens with parents watching their children play football, with one of the dads, we'll call him "Dad No. 1," shouting encouraging words to his son. In the background, a bright red Buick Cascada pulls up, and another dad, "Dad No. 2," points it out. Dad 1 doesn't believe him, and says, "If that's a Buick, then my kid's Cam Newton." All of sudden, his son transmogrifies into Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton. As expected, he quickly dominates the game, with some amusing results. At the end, when a Buick Encore shows up, the referee inadvertently turns himself into supermodel Miranda Kerr, based on apparent disbelief over what constitutes a Buick. You can see all of the shenanigans in the video above. Plus, if you'd like to see what goes into making a Super Bowl commercial, Buick produced a short video with Newton and Kerr showing what happens behind the scenes. You can check it out below.

Nissan Sentra, Buick LaCrosse to headline LA Auto Show

Wed, Oct 21 2015

We're less than a month away from the start of the Los Angeles Auto Show, and automakers have been lining up their debuts for the upcoming left-coast expo. The latest announcement comes from the show's organizers who are eager to tout the global debuts slated for next month. Chief among them will be new versions of the Buick LaCrosse and Nissan Sentra. So far all we've seen of the 2017 LaCrosse is a glimpse at the front grille, but it's already promising to bring elements of the Avenir concept to the street. The original LaCrosse was launched in 2004 and was replaced in 2010 with the current model. The Sentra nameplate has been around much longer, but the current model was launched more recently in 2013. The new version spied recently while undergoing testing is promised to be a substantial update on that model, not a complete replacement, bringing it up to speed with the latest equipment and revised styling. This represents the first official confirmation we've received of when Nissan will be unveiling the new Sentra. Mitsubishi will also be on hand with its new Outlander Sport, as well as the redesigned Mirage. They'll be joined as well by new versions of a couple of high-end models that promise to resonate with the local crowds in tinseltown. Land Rover has chosen the LA show as a suitable venue to unveil the production Range Rover Evoque Convertible that will drop the top on one of the most stylish luxury crossovers on the market. And Porsche, as we know, is gearing up to hit the track with the new Cayman GT4 Clubsport - a customer racing version of the company's little two-seat, mid-engined sports car that's been lightly modified for motorsport competition. Of course these won't be the only new metal on display at the Californian auto expo. They'll be joined as well by the likes of the new Infiniti QX30, Hyundai Elantra, Kia Sportage, and Jaguar F-Pace - many of which we've already seen. Meanwhile companies like Fiat, Ford, Mazda, Mercedes, Subaru, Volvo, Volkswagen, and Elio Motors are keeping their plans under wraps for the time being. But with mere weeks to go, it won't be long before we see what they've got in store as well.

2018 Buick Regal GS is the best Regal since the GNX

Wed, Jul 19 2017

The 2018 Buick Regal GS, the third and final variant of the all-new Buick Regal, was revealed this morning. At the event, we were given a brief chance to drive the Regal Sportback, the Regal TourX, and the Regal GS at GM's proving grounds in Milford, MI. Buick has been working hard to shed its image as the brand that comes with an AARP membership card in the glovebox, and this handsome trio is definitely on the right path. With a solid list of features at competitive prices, it's now going to be up to Buick's marketing division to get customers into showrooms. We should say right off the bat that while the old G-Body Grand National and GNX were hardcore giant slayers, the new Regal GS isn't intended to be so sharp edged. Those '80s machines were focused on 0-60 times, and looking as sinister as possible. The new Regal is far more civilized that its forebear. They may share a name, but the purpose has changed. The standard Regal Sportback starts at $25,915 - that's $2,470 less than the outgoing model. It might be the most attractive Buick in decades, at least on the outside. The interior is typical GM, meaning lots of colors and textures without a defining theme. It's powered solely by a 2.0-liter turbocharged inline four making 250 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque. Power is sent to the front wheels through a nine-speed automatic. From behind the wheel, the Regal Sportback is quiet, comfortable, and generally relaxed. The 2.0-liter turbo makes a decent amount of power, but the steering and handling remind you that this isn't a sport sedan. That's not a fault, simply a conscious design choice. Despite what some enthusiasts would lead you to believe, not everything needs to be set up for the N urburgring. The Regal Sportback soaks up bumps fairly well, though the car felt light going over some larger bumps on GM's handling course. The steering is completely dead, but it doesn't feel loose or sloppy. There's simply no feedback from the tires. On the other hand, the brakes were surprisingly good. The pedal was firm and confidence-inspiring. Stopping quickly from 60 mph provided no drama. View 12 Photos The $29,995 Regal TourX is a high-riding wagon in the vein of the Subaru Outback, Audi A4 Allroad, and Volvo V60 Cross Country. Like those three, the Regal TourX comes standard with some beefy plastic cladding and all-wheel drive, giving some pretense of off-road capability.
