87 Buick Grand National. 82k original miles, all stock except a computer chip, air filter, and adjustable wastegate which were installed in the 90's.  Looks great from 20 feet away, undercarriage is solid, floors, trunk, rockers, doors, frame etc are all rust free. Car was driven very little and in fair weather only. Sat under a tree for a while in my driveway so the hood and trunk lid have spots from acid rain or sap or whatever but the sides look great. The tops don't leak. It runs great and has tons of power, the rear end is posi and works, the turbo spools up nice, the transmission shifts perfect. This car has not been restored and it get driven about 500 miles a year so it's not a show queen and you can expect some minor scratches and chips and dings from being over 25 years old. I have the original build sheet showing the Grand National and Hatch Roof options. I also have some oil change receipts showing the mileage is accurate. Clean title. OK now for the negatives - there's a hole in the drivers seat the size of a quarter, the carpet is somewhat worn, some of the interior trim needs restoring, the headliner fabric was sagging so now its gone, its missing one center cap, the 3 is missing on the hood where it says 3.8 litre, there's a scratch on the rear quarter panel I took a close-up picture of it. Manual windows and locks.AM/FM and cassette, no CD player or iphone jack.  I was driving it the other day and the red brake light came on and there was no power brakes. My mechanic thinks it needs a new accumulator on the powermaster brake system because there's no leaks in the system and all the brakes look good and the powermaster pump runs. He suggested I just put a normal vacuum brake booster on it but for originality I'll let you decide how to fix it. The air conditioning hasn't worked since 2003, I take the roof off and problem solved. If you are looking for a good driver that you can buy reasonable and are willing to invest some love this is your car. If you are expecting a 100 point show winner this isn't there yet. My kids are older now and would much rather go wakeboarding than sit at a car show so I'm selling this champion to the highest bidder. I have a truck so I can help with delivery within a few hundred miles of zip 14804 for the cost of fuel and expenses. The car is located in western NY state but has never seen salt. I strongly encourage all bidders to personally inspect the vehicle before bidding or send your people over to inspect it, my mechanic can put it on a lift for you to check it over carefully. Someone will have to come by and put cash in my hand before the car leaves here or send a certified check and wait for it to clear before sending a shipping company to pick it up. 


Note that I had some negative feedback when I was selling used motorcycle parts overseas last year, I finally gave up selling outside the US because customs would charge the buyers a tax and they would blame me. Most people find me pleasant to deal with. This car has a title issued by the state of Connecticut, valid in all 50 states. If you live outside the US then do your own research please.

GM's MPG overstatement could affect 2 million vehicles

Tue, May 17 2016

Late last week, GM admitted that three of its large SUVs fuel economy window stickers did not match their actual efficiency ratings, and so the vehicles couldn't be sold. The stickers on the 2016 Chevy Traverse, GMC Acadia, and Buick Enclave said their ratings were one to two miles per gallon better than they should have been. Officially, the number of affected vehicles sits at about 60,000. But Consumer Reports makes a good point: what's up with all of the previous model year SUVs that are basically the same vehicle? To wit: the 2016 model year vehicles are not substantially different than the 2015 or the 2014, or even going all the way back to 2007. On the EPA's fuel economy website, all of these older models will "have better stated fuel economy numbers than the new vehicles in GM's dealerships," Consumer Reports noted. CR's best point, and the one that makes the 60,000 number potentially grow to 2 million if all of the vehicles built on this platform are affected, is that "[i]t seems unlikely that the company would change the powertrain on these carryover models so late in their model cycles in a way that would cause a dramatic, negative impact on fuel economy." GM says that earlier model year SUVs are not affected and the EPA did not respond to CR's question about the potential for more discrepancies. We've seen automakers reverse course before, so if GM has to come out with a mea culpa soon, don't be surprised. GM is rushing corrected stickers to dealers so that the SUVs can be sold again, but a fix for the already-sold vehicles could be trickier to solve.

Despite strong profits, GM still fighting flat market share

Fri, Jan 17 2014

Looking at the progress General Motors has made since it entered bankruptcy, it's easy to forget that the company still has a long way to go before it's the juggernaut it once was. A recent report from Reuters points out that, while GM is making money, it isn't making any gains in terms of US market share. Quite the opposite, really. Consider this factoid: In 1963, nearly half of the cars sold in the United States were from Chevrolet, Cadillac, Buick, GMC or Pontiac. Now, the company's US market share is stagnant at 17.9 percent. That same number is half of just Chevy's 1963 market share. This is all despite GM going on a binge replacing or updating its models. "Market share increases are not instantaneous," Mark Reuss told Reuters at the 2014 Detroit Auto Show. "We've got a lot of baggage. Don't underestimate what people though of us, or these brands, through these hardships and 30 years." The reasons for the stagnant market share are numerous. Reuters points out that retooling of factories and a focus on limiting incentives are both good things for profit, but not necessarily for market share. There's also the troubling turnover of the brand's marketing department. These issues don't change the fact that Chevrolet has lost 1.4 percent of its market share in two years, and that Cadillac - arguably GM's most improved brand overall - has lost 1.2 percent in the same period. Part of that can be blamed on GM's avoidance of fleet sales in favor of more profitable customer sales. "Our focus has really been on retail and that's where we've got the growth," said Alan Batey, GM's interim global marketing boss. "We want to grow GM and that means growing market share and profits, but it's not at all costs," Reuss said.

U.S. denies GM tariff relief request for China-made Buick SUV

Wed, Jun 5 2019

WASHINGTON — The Trump administration has denied a General Motors Co request for an exemption to a 25 percent U.S. tariff on its Chinese-made Buick Envision sport utility vehicle. The denial of the nearly year-old petition came in a May 29 letter from the U.S. Trade Representative's office saying the request concerns "a product strategically important or related to 'Made in China 2025' or other Chinese industrial programs." The midsize SUV, priced starting at about $35,000, has become a target for critics of Chinese-made goods, including leaders of the United Auto Workers union and members in key political swing states such as Michigan and Ohio. GM said on Tuesday it was aware of the denial and has been paying the tariff since July. GM has not raised the sticker price to account for the tariff. Buick Envision sales fell in the United States by nearly 27% to 30,000 last year and fell another 21% in the first three months of 2019. Only a small number of vehicles are built in China and sold in the United States. Last month, the U.S. Trade Representative's Office also denied a request by Chinese-owned Volvo Cars for tariff exemptions for mid-size SUVs assembled in China after the automaker sought an exemption for the XC60, its top selling U.S. vehicle. GM, the largest U.S. automaker, argued in its request that Envision sales in China and the United States would generate funds "to invest in our U.S. manufacturing facilities and to develop the next generation of automotive technology in the United States." GM said last year the "vast majority" of Envisions, about 200,000 a year, are sold in China. Because of the lower U.S. sales volume, "assembly in our home market is not an option" for the Envision, which competes with such mid-size crossover vehicles as the Jeep Grand Cherokee and the Cadillac XT5. Ahead of the July 2018 start for higher import tariffs, GM shipped in a six-month supply of Envisions at the much lower 2.5 percent tariff rate, Reuters reported in August 2018.
