1985 Buick Lesabre Custom Sedan 4-door 5.0l Garage Find, One Owner, 60k Miles on 2040-cars
Bradenton, Florida, United States
|
Here is a car that you don't see much anymore. Back in the 80s, the Buick LeSabre was a large car based on the Chevrolet Caprice but with a better ride and a more luxurious and upscale feel. This one is no exception! It is a very nice car that is nearly impossible to find. Full Length video can be found here... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Kn8EhYYDig&list=UUwtnHVaD_n8gcqWQ_CyLYQQ Its a 1985 Buick LeSabre Custom 4 dr. sedan. It was purchased brand new here in Bradenton Fl. at Conley Buick in 1985 and has only a shade over 59K original miles since new. It was garage kept its entire life, and it shows. It has all power options, AC, tilt, cruise, cloth seats and wire wheel covers. I bought if from the original owners family at a garage sale a few weeks ago. I looked it over, replaced the bumper filler panels, cleaned it up a bit and now I am in love with it, but I must sell it to replace it with a small van or pickup. I will walk you around the car and describe it exactly as I know it. Exterior The paint is all original, not a spec of rust or paint work (except for the bumper fillers) can be found on any of the sheet metal. It has been waxed many many times in its life and there are traces of wax buildup but I removed most of it. I put on a fresh coat of nano wax after I replaced the bumper fillers. I also replaced the cracked grill with an NOS GM unit. All of the lights, chrome trim, and glass are in mint condition, the tires are like new Firestones and the wire wheel covers are perfect. A good professional detail would make it look even better. There are some minor dings on the passenger rear door and a few other light scratches and dings. From 5 feet away, this car looks showroom new. The color is Light Sage, which is not the nicest color but it grows on you fast. I would rate the exterior a 8 out of 10 Interior I didn't touch the interior, as pictured is the way I got the car. It is nearly flawless. It could use a carpet shampoo as there are some chocolate spots and a couple of tar spots under the drivers floor mat. The headliner is just starting to sag on the passengers side. The seats are near perfect, the dash and door panels are in great shape. No odd odors, non-smoker car. The drivers side power seat gear is stripped but that's an easy fix. The power windows are a little slow but a good lubrication would help. I would rate the interior a 7 out of 10 Mechanical The engine runs perfect. The transmission shifts perfect. Steering is tight and the brakes are smooth. The tires are just slightly flat spotted from sitting which is no big deal. It drives like a new car. The AC is ice cold and everything seems to work as it should except the power seat. All lights work perfectly and the radio sounds good however the left front speaker doesn't seem to work. I would rate this car a 9 out of 10 mechanically. Overall This would make a great cruiser for the 80s fan or a great custom car. All of my neighbors have raved about this car and talk about how you just don't see these anymore. Its the kind of classic that you can live with. Turn the AC on, drive it in the rain, etc. It has the original owners manuals, some service records, all 4 original keys and I wouldn't hesitate to drive it anywhere. Its that nice of a car. I would give this car and overall condition rating of 8.5 out of 10 Please look at all of my photos and if you have any questions you can call me at 941-720-0300 my name is Jason |

No, Cadillac is not killing its flagship CT6 sedan
Sat, Jul 22 2017Mark Twain never actually said that reports of his death had been greatly exaggerated. But if the Cadillac CT6 could talk, those are the exact words it would use. Speaking to Jalopnik, Cadillac chief Johan de Nysschen confirmed, emphatically, "There is absolutely no plan, at all, to cancel the CT6." In fact, says de Nysschen, the CT6 will soon be the beneficiary of significant investment. "The [CT6] forms a very important part of our product strategy going forward for the brand. The car also has a very major contribution to make to the shaping of brand perceptions, and the transformational process that Cadillac is undergoing." For instance, expect the CT6 to spearhead General Motors' most advanced forays into self-driving automobile technology. Interestingly, though, the Cadillac ATS and CTS sedans probably won't live past their current generations as the automaker 're-balances its sedan portfolio.' Replacement models are "in development" right now, says de Nysschen, which will "much more clearly separate the market position, both in terms of target customer demographics, in terms of market segments and in terms of price points between these three sedan lineups." So, that's confirmation that the Cadillac CT6 is going to stick around for a while. But what of other models cited by Reuters to potentially be killed, like the Buick LaCrosse and Chevy Impala and Volt? Read our take on that here, but suffice it to say that we don't think they're in danger, either.

Buick Velite is a not-so-Volt-like plug-in hybrid concept for China
Mon, Nov 7 2016Is the Buick Velite a Volt by any other name? That's a question worth asking after General Motors said that the Buick Velite concept vehicle will make its global debut at the Guangzhou Auto Show later this month. GM says the car "will provide a template for upcoming models being launched under the Buick Blue new energy vehicle strategy." Whether that means the Velite is a variant of the second-generation of the Chevrolet Volt extended-range plug-in is open to interpretation. Some automotive publications, including Autoweek, are saying that's the case, but GM China doesn't mention the Volt in its press release, only saying that the car is a "high-performance" plug-in hybrid vehicle. As we know, GM doesn't use the "PHEV" descriptor for the Volt, which makes us thing the Velite's powertrain is more like the Cadillac CT6 PHEV. Either way, the concept was developed by the Pan Asia Technical Automotive Center (PATAC), which is a joint venture between GM and Shanghai-based SAIC. As far as the name, GM has been shopping the Velite moniker around for a while now. The automaker first used Buick Velite for the convertible concept vehicle it showed off at the 2004 New York Auto Show. More recently, GM in 2014 filed to use the name for the US variant of its Opel Cascada four-seat convertible model, which debuted in 2013. As for the second-generation version of the Volt, that model appears to be gaining favor in the US. Domestic sales of the Volt through October have surged 64 percent from a year earlier to more than 18,500 units. The new version boosted its all-electric range by 40 percent to 53 miles while increasing its power output by 20 percent.

NC dealer falsely announces return of Regal Grand National, Regal GNX
Wed, Dec 3 2014Like many new car dealers, Liberty Buick GMC gets so excited about its brands' new wares that it puts out press releases announcing when new models are on the way. That's not typically national news, but the Charlotte, NC store has created a bit of internet hubbub by announcing that it will be "one of the first dealers in the country to offer the Buick Regal GNX," and it's even started to add customers names to a waitlist. Only one problem: Despite seemingly annual rumors and calls for such a model, Buick hasn't announced any Grand National models at all – let alone a GNX – and no such models are actually in the cards. The Liberty Buick press release talks in a nostalgic, venerative tone of the original 1982-1987 GN franchise, and goes on to say: "These returning relics will be based on the highly-acclaimed Alpha vehicle architecture currently used in the Cadillac ATS, 2014 Cadillac CTS, and soon to be in the sixth-generation Chevy Camaro. Alpha is the internal name of a General Motors vehicle architecture engineered to underpin compact and mid-size rear-wheel-drive vehicles." In the release, Liberty Buick claimed the GN/GNX models would arrive in late 2015, citing a coupe bodystyle, including a rather fantastical-looking GNX rendering from Bestride.com. Unsurprisingly, none of this is true. Autoblog reached out to Buick for comment about the release, and brand communications manager Nick Richards confirmed that the company had discussed the matter with Liberty Buick representatives. Richards went on to say that the release was wholly incorrect, proclaiming "an agency [for the dealer] picked up a lot of stuff off the internet" and ran with it, including an old Car and Driver story from 2013. The dealership subsequently issued a retraction, with Scott McCorkle, owner of Liberty Buick GMC saying: "We love the idea of the Buick Regal GNX coming back to our showroom but for now, it's only a concept. Bottom-line, the article was incorrect.
