1998 Buick Century Limited Sedan 4-door 3.1l on 2040-cars
Memphis, Tennessee, United States
********PLEASE NOTE THAT I WILL NOT ACCEPT PAYMENT VIA PAYPAL UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE******** Up for sale is a ONE OWNER (me) 1998 Buick Century Limited. That’s
right, my name and address are the only ones that have ever graced the title of
this car. It is finished in beautiful Jasper Green Metallic paint with sumptuous
Taupe Leather interior. It has Only 47,772 original miles. You
are reading that correctly – this car is a time warp that you do not see very
often. I checked off the options sheet when I ordered my Buick with
the: Popular Option Package; Premium Option Package; Body Side Stripes; Carpet
Savers in front and rear; Electrochromic rearview mirror; Heated Body Color Exterior
Mirrors; Cruise Control, Rear Window integrated Antenna; the Premium sound
system; Jasper Green Metallic Paint, and Taupe Leather. These option packages
entailed many niceties such as dual electronic climate control, dual power
seats, cruise control, high-end Concert Sound II stereo system with CD player, a
Tape player, and steering wheel controls as well. In addition it has anti-lock
brakes, dual airbags, 4 wheel disc brakes, aluminum alloy wheels, automatic
headlights and dimming interior courtesy lights. My Buick has been thoroughly
maintained throughout its entire life. Recently I serviced the car with a brand
new battery, new starter, new water pump, new front & rear brakes, and the fluids
were replaced as well. It runs great, idles superbly smooth, passes inspection,
and sips gas. I have both keys, both keyless entry fobs, and even the valet key
still. My Buick has been garaged for all but 2 of its 16 year life
span, and it has never seen snow. The car has never been smoked in, I can count
on one hand how many times the back seat has had a passenger, and the trunk has
never seen anything but a rolling bag. Why am I selling it? Because my wife inherited her
grandmother’s 2003 Lexus ES300 with low miles on it about 2 year ago.
Therefore, the Lexus has taken the place of the Buick as our reserve/airport car.
I simply have not had the time to fool with selling the Buick despite the
occasional consideration to go to CarMax for an offer. Additionally, it’s been
difficult to part with the Buick considering how well it has served us and the
fact that I have owned it since ordering from the factory. What’s wrong with it? A few things - mainly due to being
kicked out of the third garage spot by the Lexus. There are typical bumps and
scratches on the sides and bumpers due to airport parking garages over the
years, but it still presents very well do to its extensive years of being under
cover. A tree limb fell during a storm
last year and dented the driver door and the hood (as you can see in the
pictures). The interior rear view mirror has developed some cloudiness that I
can only attribute to the sun. The screen for the automatic climate control
does not display anything, but all functions still work correctly (this is very
strange to me and I wonder if regular use would “wake” the screen back up).
There seems to be a coolant leak, but the origin is unknown. My yard man thinks
it’s probably just an old radiator hose or even a worn out radiator cap. The
car still runs just fine though. Thank you for looking at my car. It is truly is an
exceptional example of the Buick Century mark, and its new owner will
understand immediately just how well it has been cared for. I welcome any
questions you may have and sincerely appreciate your consideration in viewing
my advertisement. |

Buick Encore, Chevy Trax earn Top Safety Pick from IIHS [w/video]
Thu, Feb 12 2015The Buick Encore has been a massive sales success practically from the moment it debuted, and Buick recently decided to increase production to keep up with demand for the premium compact crossover. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety recently put one to the test again, and the Encore earned a Top Safety Pick award. It's the first model from the brand to score the nod since 2013, according to the IIHS, and the rating also carries over to the 2015 Chevrolet Trax. The 2015 Encore scored a Good rating in all of the IIHS' evaluations, including the 40-mile-per-hour, small overlap front crash test. That was a big improvement over the previous model the institute tested, which scored a Poor result in the overlap test. In the first test, about 13 inches of the lower door hinge pillar came into the passenger compartment, and the steering wheel airbag moved too far to protect the dummy's head. Improvements for the latest model year showed six inches of intrusion this time, and the airbags caught the dummy's head well. The dummy's sensors also indicated a low risk of injury. The two CUVs missed out on the full Top Safety Pick+ because the IIHS scored the Encore as only having a basic front crash prevention system, and there was no such equipment for the Trax. To earn the highest mark, models need at least an advanced rating by the institute for this technology. Buick Encore, Chevrolet Trax earn 2015 TOP SAFETY PICK award ARLINGTON, Va. - A small SUV is the first vehicle from the Buick brand to qualify for a TOP SAFETY PICK award from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety since 2013. The Buick Encore's newly introduced, lower-priced twin, the Chevrolet Trax, also qualifies for the honor. The Encore's award follows improvements to the SUV's structure for better small overlap front protection. The 2015 model earns a good rating in the small overlap test. In contrast, the 2013-14 Encore rated poor in the test. The driver's space was seriously compromised with intrusion measuring as much as 13 inches at the lower door hinge pillar. The dummy's head barely contacted the front airbag before sliding off the left side, as the steering column moved to the right. The side curtain airbag deployed too late and didn't have sufficient forward coverage to protect the head. In the latest test, the driver space was maintained reasonably well, with maximum intrusion of 6 inches at the door hinge pillar and instrument panel. The dummy's movement was well-controlled.
Buick Electra-X SUV Concept is a sporty-looking electric crossover
Thu, Jun 2 2022We all saw the gorgeous Buick WIldcat EV concept yesterday, but slipping under the radar was another Buick concept revealed in China: the Electra-X Concept SUV. Buick is planning on using “Electra” to name its future EVs, and this is our first look at a concept with the name attached to it. Specifically, Buick says that this concept “previews the production version of BuickÂ’s new generation of electric vehicles in China, underpinned by GMÂ’s revolutionary Ultium platform.” Nowhere in BuickÂ’s announcement does the brand say this concept will transfer to future Buicks in the U.S., but itÂ’s an interesting thought to entertain. The Electra-X Concept SUV looks like a fastback SUV, or crossover coupe, which is already a common bodystyle here in North America. Seeing that BuickÂ’s intention is to use the Ultium platform, that gives even more reason that something along these lines could find its way into U.S. showrooms. This specific concept is all about design, and itÂ’s easily the most attractive Buick SUV weÂ’ve seen. Buick says the carÂ’s “fresh and youthful” expression is meant to appeal to younger customers. It certainly looks far more sporty than what weÂ’re used to seeing from Buick, which is a good thing. YouÂ’ll notice itÂ’s wearing a new Buick badge up front. The light design in front and back is meant to resemble what weÂ’ll see on future production cars, and like many lights these days, they flash an animation at you as you approach the car. The four-seat interior is meant to look sporty and clean. Plus, it shows off the flat floor capabilities of the Ultium platform. It has an airy feel thanks to a wraparound windshield and glass roof. The seats are wrapped in fabric made from recycled water bottles. YouÂ’ll also see “GS” etched inside the cabin meant to hint that there will be electric GS models in the future. Its main display is a 30-inch 6K screen, and the car features 5G connectivity for the speediest-possible connection to the internet. Super Cruise in its most advanced, current form is also onboard, which is great to see for the Buick brand. Related video:
Restyled 2014 Buick Regal adds AWD, Regal GS loses power
Tue, 26 Mar 2013Although the current Buick Regal hasn't even been on the market for very long, General Motors is using the New York Auto Show to unveil an updated version of the sedan in a similar fashion to what we saw yesterday with the 2014 LaCrosse. Like the LaCrosse, all 2014 Regal models will be getting a new look both for the exterior and interior design, but the big news takes place under the sedan's skin.
Except for the base Regal eAssist, the Regal Turbo and Regal GS will both be adding the benefit of all-wheel drive, but there is no word as to how much weight this system will add to each car's curb weight. The Regal Turbo's 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder has received a decent bump in output from 220 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque to 259 hp and 295 lb-ft; unfortunately, these same figures are carried over to the Regal GS, which means that car drops from 270 hp. Both turbocharged models (Regal Turbo and Regal GS) will now be offered with all-wheel drive and the ability of sending more than 90 percent of the engine's torque to the rear wheels.
In terms of styling, the 2014 Regal gets similar styling changes found on the updated Enclave and LaCrosse, including reworked fascias, scalloped headlights and a full-width chrome strip spanning between the new LED taillights. Inside, key changes were made to the Regal's cabin technology, such as the instrument gauge cluster and infotainment system. On the Regal and Regal Turbo, a new 4.2-inch color display is available for drivers to see information for the vehicle, navigation and audio systems, but the Regal GS' cabin is slightly different with an eight-inch configurable gauge display. One of the best changes may be the overall reduction in buttons on the center stack, creating a cleaner-looking and easier-to-use cabin.
