Up for bid is my Le Sabre which I owned for sixteen years.     Believe to be the third owner.         This a unrestored vehicle not doctored up for a quick sale.          Went from original purchaser to son in law to me.       Reason I'm selling is that I ran across a Dodge A100 just like the one I owned in the 70's.   The Buick is from Missouri,it has seen no snow or salt.I don't drive it even in the rain and hate the sun to shine on it.     It is a rust free no bondo no patch panel car.          Look at the pictures of the bottoms of the doors,trunk lid and door jams.Those are all original paint.      In my opinion, only exception is the hood,the color is not a great match,it's the way I got and hasn't bothered me that much or I would have had it redone.       It has the chrome factory rally rims with tires that have low miles on them.      Original R12 AC which blows very cold.               This is a true survivor!     Only changes are the 2 inch drop spindles that evens out the car stance and the new dual exhaust which is not loud but a nice mellow tone. New front pads and calipers when new spindles were installed.    I do have the original spindles that would come with the car.   I'm not trying to say this is a new car but it sure is a head turning driver.      I would rather have you surprised how nice it is rather than be disappointed by a untrue description.        It does have a few scratches a blemish or so but  no door dings except a small one on the rear wheel stainless trim piece.    The paint still shines very well.Interior is very nice and clean,no rips tears.        Non Smoker       Headliner is starting to come down,glue must of dried up,I do have headliner pins that would hold it up but it should be replaced. Do have new cylinders that hold the hood up in the open position.  Dash has no cracks and is not parched out,glass all good.      Runs Fantastic!!!           All trunk and door seals still very supple! Vinyl top not parched or ripped,there is a crack in the molding at the base of the roof,it's a small rubber piece probably still available.   A TRUE UNMOLESTED CAR!    Last of the big rear wheel drive Buick Le Sabre.   Look at the pics of the undercarriage,rust free.Not too many of these still around in this shape.Ready to cruise,you don't have to do anything to it if you don't want to!     Hope it goes to a good home!   Does come with a car cover.     The car is sold as is!!!!     Do not bid if you  DO NOT INTEND TO FOLLOW THROUGH WITH THE PURCHASE.No International bids or shipping.Car will not be released until funds have cleared.Please if you are having this car shipped choose a reputable company,my van was delivered by a driving team that was like Cheech and Chong.I will not be responsible for their mishaps.I do reserve the right to cancel the sale at anytime.  Yes I am suspicious,seen it all. Will be happy to tell you more about the car if you like. 734 837 2966,I work midnights,you can leave a message if I miss your call.  More pictures available upon request or you are welcome to see it in person.  Thanks for looking!!!! George

Meet the Buick Velite 7, the Chevy Bolt's Chinese cousin

Wed, Jun 17 2020

The Buick Velite 7 has officially been revealed after having been leaked and spied a few months ago. The name derives from Buick's line of electrified models it sells in China, of course the design shows it's most closely related to the Chevy Bolt EV. Buick hasn't revealed many details about it, and only one photo, but we do get to see it and we also have a range estimate. The range estimate is 500 kilometers on the NEDC cycle, which translates to 311 miles. That's actually less than the NEDC estimate for the Bolt EV, which is 565 kilometers or 351 miles, which increased for the 2020 model year from 520 kilometers or 323 miles. Of course NEDC figures tend to be much higher than EPA numbers, which rated the current Bolt EV at 259 miles and the previous version at 238. As such, we would expect this Buick to have an EPA range closer to 210 to 220 miles. We don't know what resulted in the lower range, but it could have something to do with additional weight or slightly worse aerodynamics. It could be both. Design-wise, the Buick is clearly based on the Bolt, but has a more aggressive front bumper and a trendy partially floating roof. It also seems to have a slightly boxier, taller profile, mainly because of the nose. Buick hasn't released any other details about the crossover, preferring to save them for the car's launch later this year. Since it seems so closely related to the Bolt, it probably has the same drivetrain: a single electric motor sending 200 horsepower and 266 pound-feet of torque to the front wheels via a single-speed transmission.

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.

Trump prods General Motors over its auto plants in China

Sat, Aug 31 2019

WASHINGTON — U.S. President Donald Trump, who is engaged in a trade war with Beijing, said on Friday that the largest U.S. automaker, General Motors, should begin moving its operations back to the United States. "General Motors, which was once the Giant of Detroit, is now one of the smallest auto manufacturers there. They moved major plants to China, BEFORE I CAME INTO OFFICE. This was done despite the saving help given them by the USA. Now they should start moving back to America again?" Trump said in a post on Twitter. Trump appeared to be referring to a Bloomberg News story that reported GM's hourly workforce of 46,000 U.S. workers has fallen behind that of Fiat Chrysler as the smallest of the Detroit Three automakers. Over the past four decades, GM has dramatically cut the size of its overall U.S. workforce, which numbered nearly 620,000 in 1979. GM did not directly comment on Trump's tweet. "GMÂ’s China operations are not a threat to U.S. jobs," the company said in a fact sheet, noting that its joint ventures have sent $16 billion in equity income to GM since 2010 and that it has invested $23 billion in U.S. operations since 2009. GM's U.S. hourly workforce has fallen by about 4,000 jobs since the end of 2018 to about where it was a decade ago. Trump's ire with GM comes as contract talks with the United Auto Workers union with the Detroit Three automakers intensify ahead of a Sept. 14 deadline. Trump has previously attacked GM for building vehicles in Mexico and for ending production at plants in Michigan, Ohio and Maryland and threatened to cut GM subsidies in retaliation. GM's decision to close four plants in the United States is a central issue in the contract talks. Trump has made boosting auto jobs a key priority and has often attacked automakers on Twitter for not doing enough to boost U.S. employment. His 2020 re-election bid will hinge on holding key industrial battleground states like Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Michigan that narrowly voted for him in 2016. China is the worldÂ’s largest auto market, and government policy favors automakers assembling vehicles there, and not importing them from overseas. In response to TrumpÂ’s latest tariffs, China said last week it will reinstitute 25% tariffs on U.S.-made vehicles. The U.S. is imposing 15% tariffs on more than $125 billion in Chinese goods starting Sunday. GM sold 3.6 million vehicles in China last year accounting for 43% of its worldwide sales.
