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.

Buick Envision aces IIHS crash tests

Tue, Sep 27 2016

If you had any qualms about the safety of a Chinese-built car, set them aside. At least when it comes to the Buick Envision. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has tested the new GM crossover and it passed with flying colors. The Envision is the first Chinese-built Buick sold in the States, and it's also the first Chinese-built car the organization has ever tested. In what is an impressive feat for any new automobile, it earned the IIHS TOP SAFETY PICK+ rating. This means the crossover comes equipped with a forward collision warning system and earned "Good" marks in all types of collisions, including the difficult small overlap crash test. In addition to the forward collision warning system, an automatic emergency braking system is available on the Envision. Eleven other vehicles earned the TOP SAFETY PICK+ rating, including models from Volvo, Lincoln, Acura, Audi, Mercedes-Benz, Lexus and Infiniti. That's good company, and combined with a pleasant, if not world-beating, driving experience, should make the Envision a car worth consideration. Related Video:

J.D. Power customer survey of dealers counts Cadillac, Buick as big winners

Mon, 14 Apr 2014

Cadillac and Buick have taken the trophies in J.D. Power's latest Customer Service Index Study examining satisfaction with dealer service. Surveying more than 90,000 owners and lessees of 2009-2013 model-year cars, the study found that those with pre-paid maintenance packages were ten percent more likely to buy their next car from the same brand.
Dealer satisfaction scores have improved overall, Cadillac nabbed the luxury segment ahead of Audi and Lexus, taking the crown that Lexus held last year. Buick keeps the mass-market dealer satisfaction win in the family, finishing ahead of Volkswagen and last year's winner GMC. The study also found that service department use of tablets increased customer satisfaction, as did "best practices" like "providing helpful advice." Who knew?
You can find details on those and more findings in the press release below.

Buick Avenir Concept saunters into Detroit [w/video]

Mon, Jan 12 2015

We'd never accuse the most recent crop of Buicks of being ugly. Then again, we'd also never argue that they're overly pretty. Instead, they waltz along a middle ground, not standing out while not causing offense. The Buick Avenir Concept occupies no such middle ground – it's gorgeous. A long hood and a short deck fit well with an evolved form of Buick's long-running design language, while traditional highlights such as the waterfall grille and portholes mingle nicely with newer touches, like a beautiful, curvaceous set of rear haunches that bleed into the rear decklid. The cabin, meanwhile, is solidly in the concept realm, with a prominent 12-inch touchscreen as its centerpiece. Like the exterior, the Avenir's cabin is an evolution of current Buick designs, with a curve that tops the dash and feeds into the doors. A higher center console is finished in buffed wood, although the majority of the interior materials appear to be fine leather. Check out our gallery of live images of the new Avenir, at the Buick stand at the 2015 Detroit Auto Show. Show full PR text Buick Explores Future with Avenir Concept New design proportion, device integration, rejuvenating interior push brand forward DETROIT Â– Buick introduced the Avenir concept today in advance of the North American International Auto Show Â– a flagship sedan exploring progressive design with new levels of passenger well-being and technology integration. The Avenir Â– French for future Â– is distinguished by its premium sports proportions and all-new interpretations of traditional Buick cues. It is the creation of a global team of Buick designers and sculptors who were inspired by historic Buick concepts, which pushed traditional boundaries, shaped future Buick models and influenced the entire auto industry. "Avenir embodies Buick design, which centers on effortless beauty and presence without pretense," said Ed Welburn, vice president of General Motors Global Design. "It demonstrates the growing international reach of Buick and offers an exciting vision of where it can go." The Avenir's sculptural surfacing, expressive proportion and Buick's signature sweep-spear bodyside visually cue an exceptional driving experience that awaits inside. "The interior is designed with the driver and passengers' comfort and well-being in mind," said Welburn.
