This station wagon offers a buyer several opportunities. It can be driven as is, tinkered with and used as a crusier, built into a long haul power tour car, or restored to perfect original condition. As you read on you will find that everything is in place, even for a perfect restoration. This car was assembled at the GM Plant in Atlanta Ga and sold new at Community Buick in Plant City Fl to a Tampa Fl resident. Some years later it was sold to an Atlanta Ga resident and I bought it a year ago and I too am an Atlanta resident. Subsequently this car has never seen a harsh winter and is totally rust frees. This makes it an excellent base car to begin a project. Nearly everything on this car is original except for wear items. Some items need work or replacing but it's all there.Another great addition to this car is the paperwork. It includes the original window sticker and nearly every piece of paper created since the original sale. Most all receipts are there as well as notes from the original owner on various items he repaired himself. Also included is the owners manual and two factory repair manuals. This car stickered at $21,242.00 when new in 1988. It came standard with 5.0 Liter V8, auto trans, a/c, 6 way pwr seat, power locks, tilt, power fronts discs, power steering, aluminum wheels, power side windows, power tailgate window, tinted glass, dual horns, bumper guards, remote tailgate lock, woodrain vinyl, and lamp group. Options included pass 6 way power seat, seat back recliner pass seat, rocker moldings, rear window defogger, auto climate controller, elec cruise control., cornering lights, am/fm/cd stereo, power antenna, heavy duty engine and trans cooling,roof rack, body side molding, and a trailer hitch and light kit. Gas mileage was rated at 17/24mpg. As you see, this was a loaded car. Some of these things need attention and here is a list of all the things it will need to be in tip top condition. The paint is dry and faded, 25 years in the Fla and Ga sun has taken it's toll. The vinyl woodgrain is split and cracked in spots, maybe could be patched but it too has sun damage. The vinyl bumper fillers has dried out and fallen away. Some of the weatherstrip is dried out and the dashpad is cracked and sun damaged (but a pad was made from seat material and is installed as a cover). The headliner is loose and flapping and needs to be replaced. All of those things could be considered as sun damage. In addition the hood release cable needs to be replaced (a new one is included). The stereo works but only our of one speaker (?) The cassette player doesn't work at all. The driver window only goes down half way but always goes back up. The A/C blows cold and the heater works. The car drives nice and is very comfy - kinda like driving a sofa down the road. The tires are about a year old and white walls. The carpet is showing some wear at the driver's feet and the driver's seat is showing some wear but nothing is ripped or torn or worn through. The wood applique on drivers window shows some wear and the pull handle on the drivers door is broken. Most of these things are pretty minor and if you have the ability you might say that it's a bit of tinkering to repair these items. There are some spare parts included. These include one headlight bezel, power antenna assy, overhead rearview mirrorr, drivers side power rear view mirror, two hubcaps, speedometer cable (old one works but is noisy), hood release cable, drivers door power window master buttons.There is no evidence that this car has ever been wrecked. This is a 3 seat wagon with an outward facing rear seat. Once upon a time they called these 9 passenger wagons but this would be an 8 passenger. The 3rd seat has 2 seatbelts and is best suited for children. We have driven this car a bit since we've had it but time has not permitted the required tinkering so we have decided to let someone else have it. You could certainly drive it home although it should have an oil change soon. You can also have it shipped, I will do whatever I can to make the transition as easy as possible, I have a Georgia title in my name, It's tagged and registered as well. Full payment is required before it leaves and you'll have to put at least $500 down at the auction's end if you win, and pay the balance within a reasonable period of time. This is a no reserve auction so the hi bidder is the winner.

2018 Buick Enclave First Drive Review | Fortress of quietude

Fri, Oct 6 2017

ATLANTA, Ga. — The 2018 Enclave is part of Buick's effort to reinvigorate its brand, positioning itself as a maker of "attainable luxury" vehicles. That means a total redesign, a number of safety and technology upgrades, and the introduction of the Avenir sub-brand (think of that last one as sort of the Denali of Buick). It also means more space and more luxury. With this in mind, we traveled to Atlanta to get to know the new Enclave, both in the city and on a long drive through the Blue Ridge Mountains into North Carolina. Our first impressions of the new Enclave came not from the driver's seat, but from a captain's chair in the second row (which is the traditional seating arrangement for a true captain, of course). We were riding from the Atlanta airport to a studio to learn more about the vehicle. That very first impression was, "Wow, this interior is really nice." The leather upon which we sat was soft, smooth to the touch, and interesting in its shapeliness. Looking around the cabin, we saw a lot of gentle curves and thoughtful accents that made the inside of the Enclave feel downright premium. It was a fresh and airy sense of taste though, and definitely not the seasoned wood-and-whiskey stodginess one might expect from the Buick name. Our second impression: "Boy, it's quiet in here." Heading toward downtown Atlanta on the freeway, we were unable to pick up wind noise, and only just a smidge of road noise as the Enclave trundled over the occasional rough patch of pavement. This is, of course, completely intentional on the part of Buick. The windshield and front windows use acoustic glass. The doors are triple sealed for a tighter, quieter fit when closed. Buick has insulated the Enclave with more sound deadening and included active noise cancellation. "Our goal is to make it as social as possible," said Dean Perelli, chief engineer for the Enclave. And social it is. It is easy to carry on conversation across the Enclave's three roomy rows. When we got out of the Enclave, we had a chance to take it in from the outside. It features attractive, wing-like lighting front and rear. The front signature lighting uses technology called "Evonik Acrylite," (a mouthful, even for the engineers) which is a polycarbonate material arranged in a dazzling, faceted and delicate array. The paint finishes we saw were attractive, with depth.

We want this Buick Regal wagon rumor to be true

Tue, May 31 2016

The car we know in the US as the Buick Regal is sold as a Vauxhall/ Opel Insignia in Europe, where it's offered in four-door sedan, five-door liftback, and wagon body styles. Call it a case of wanting what we can't have, but we like the last two body styles a lot. Based on a report from a Buick/ GMC dealer meeting in Austin, one of them could be coming to the US soon. According to a poster identified as 97GreenRS on the forums at GM Inside News, GM showed dealers the 2018 Buick Enclave, Regal, and Regal GS, as well as the 2018 GMC Terrain, and then confirmed it would offer the Regal wagon here in the US. While that wouldn't normally be all that much to go on, we know Buick has been toying with the idea of a wagon for some time. A Regal-badged wagon was spotted way back in 2011. More recently, we reported on a trademark filing for "Tourx" and "Regal Tourx," which suggest a long roof (Tour) and all-wheel drive (x). If the Regal wagon arrives alongside the base sedan and GS as a 2018 model, we'd expect a debut within the next 15 or so months. That would place it right at the beginning of the 2017 auto show season, which starts next September in Frankfurt, Germany. With that in mind, it seems possible the new Regal would debut first as an Opel Insignia before appearing at a US show like Los Angeles or Detroit, although there's a lot of speculation going on there. We just want to see "Buick" and "wagon" in the same sentence again. Related Video:
