1985 Buick Century Ltd 23k Orig Miles,garage Stored Texas Creampuff, No Reserve! on 2040-cars
Lipan, Texas, United States
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 · 6,958 miles Oil and filter change · 7,196 miles New wiper blades, cooling system flushed · 9,555 miles New battery (06/90) · 10,444 miles Exhaust repair · 11,981 miles Front end alignment · 12,052 miles New battery (08/92) · 23,365 miles New battery (12/04) · 23,371 miles Fresh fuel added (06/05) · 23,473 miles New battery, brake flush, coolant flush (12/06) · 23,549 miles New battery (06/12) · 23,581 miles Fuel pump, relay, filter and strainer replaced (06/12) · 23,641 miles Reconnect vacuum hose to MAP sensor (02/13) · 23,740 miles Oil change, replace power antenna, Convert A/C to R134 (10/13) 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. |

2017 Buick LaCrosse priced at $32,990
Mon, May 16 2016Buick has announced the starting price for its totally redesigned LaCrosse sedan, and it's looking competitive. According to the company's consumer website, the base trim will start at $32,990, while the vehicle featured on the page is helpfully listed as "As Shown: $45,560." Buick is being coy about the standard equipment list, but we do know a few traditionally higher-end options will be free of charge, including an eight-inch touchscreen that's compatible with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, and HID headlamps. General Motors' 4G LTE wifi is a no-cost feature (although you'll need to shell out for a data plan, eventually). The optional extras list, which will include goodies like adaptive cruise control, hasn't been published yet. Underhood, all LaCrosse models will get eight-speed automatic transmissions paired with 305-horsepower, 3.6-liter V6 engines. The new powertrain, plucked from the Cadillac XT5, has stop-start and cylinder deactivation as standard to save fuel, although it's still too early to predict where the LaCrosse will fall on the EPA scale. Front-wheel drive is standard, but all-wheel drive will be available for a unknown premium. Buick says the sedan's reasonable starting price backs the company's "position of attainable luxury." And that's true. At $32,990 the LaCrosse is $560 less than the $33,550 base Toyota Avalon, $355 less than the $33,345 Nissan Maxima S, and $850 less than the $33,840 Kia Cadenza. Only the antiquated Ford Taurus, at $27,985, can undercut it. On the opposite end, the LaCrosse is $6,945 less than a front-drive Lincoln MKS and $6,060 less than a Lexus ES. Starting prices are useful tools for comparison but they only go so far – we'll have to wait until next month, when full details are released, to see how truly reasonable the LaCrosse's price is.
2018 Buick Regal TourX First Drive Review | Pop the champagne, it's another wagon!
Tue, Jan 30 2018As a newborn member of an endangered species, we should probably pop open the Dom to fete the arrival of the 2018 Buick Regal TourX. It's a wagon, after all, and if there's anything we automotive writers have been clamoring for is more wagons. "Forget those SUVs," we've implored. "This wagon over here is better! Just as much cargo space, better to drive! And have you seen it in brown?" Well, it seems like our collective proselytizing is starting to pay off, or perhaps far more likely, consumer tastes are shifting a bit to appreciate the wagon. Sure, they need to be lifted a bit and sport plastic fender flares to add a wee bit of SUV-ish flavor, but who the hell cares? Beggars, choosers, etc. It's a wagon, and we should be happy it's here. And we are, the Regal TourX is a pretty good one that thankfully offers more than just its mere existence. It especially delivers on the space front, which is refreshing since most of today's wagons are not as cargo friendly as the collective "we" would like to admit. An Audi Q5 regrettably does have more cargo space than an Audi A4 Allroad. Yet, the TourX has more than both – considerably more in fact, coming in at a certifiably huge 73.5 cubic feet of maximum space. The difference is palpable between it and the 53.5-cubic-foot Allroad, which Buick considers the TourX's closest competitor. As the below video (somewhat) demonstrates, I was able to cram 12 Patagonia duffle bags into the Allroad, filling up most of the cabin. The same amount in the TourX left tons of residual space, you could still see out the back and loading it all in didn't require a degree in Advanced Tetris. There's also a far more useful amount of space with the back seat raised (32.7 vs. 24.2). That area is especially lengthy, and with the large rear quarter windows and reasonably square roofline, it should be a good choice for dog owners. There's no built-in dog net behind the back seat as you'll find in the Allroad and BMW 3 Series wagon (you'd have to go the aftermarket route), but your four-legged buddy should at least appreciate the lower liftover/jump-aboard height. Which brings us to the next wagon benefit: the lower roof height. According to Buick's marketing folks, people who buy off-roadish wagons like the Regal TourX are far more likely to actually live the outdoorsy active lifestyles the owners of SUVs usually only envision for themselves.
Why Mazda did so well and Volvo so poorly in Consumer Reports survey
Thu, Oct 25 2018The poor performances of Tesla and all three domestic automakers got the headlines in Consumer Reports magazine's latest reliability survey, but there were other results that caught our interest. Tiny Mazda notched the biggest gain among the 29 brands included in this year's list, leap-frogging nine spots to No. 3. Buick, which was in the top 10 last year, fell 11 spots to No. 19, the biggest decline of any brand. And then there's Volvo, a brand often vaunted for its quality and reliability, dropping six spots to dead last. What gives? For starters, all three brands benefited or suffered in large part due to their relatively small portfolio of vehicles. So when raves or complaints rolled in for even one particular model, as was often the case, it weighed heavily on the entire brand. That's especially true when it involves a relatively high-volume, hot-selling model such as the Buick Enclave (more on that in a moment). Mazda fared as well as it did despite the CX-3 losing Consumer Reports' influential "recommended" status due to problems with its climate system, including leaks from the condenser and refrigerant unit that triggered a service bulletin from the automaker in late 2016. Deputy auto editor Jon Linkov said that scratch didn't hurt the overall brand, since the CX-9 crossover and MX-5 Miata both jumped up to replace it on CR's list of newly recommended vehicles, thanks to several back fixes Mazda made to both models. For Buick, the redesigned Enclave SUV earned a "Much Worse Than Average" rating after owners reported problems with the new nine-speed automatic transmission it shares with the Chevrolet Traverse as well as some issues with the climate system. There were issues with rough shifting, plus complaints about the torque converter that necessitated fixes to the computer or outright replacement. "Again, similar stuff that we saw with the Traverse: both first-year vehicles, similar powertrains," LInkov said. He said all-new vehicles or redesigns typically fare poorly in CR's reliability survey due to issues that are hard to suss out before vehicles go into everyday use by consumers. The top-selling Encore and Envision fared well, Linkov said, but were outdone by the Enclave's problematic transmission components. The Enclave was Buick's second best-selling model through September at 35,227 units. Then there is Volvo, about which there is one word to sum up its woes: infotainment.
