 Up for auction is a really nice, one owner California Park Avenue Ultra.  I purchased this car about 4 months ago with the intention of using it as the family second car. Unfortunately, it rarely ever gets driven.  So, my wife and I have decided to pass it on to somebody who will use it everyday and enjoy it. 

The car has been well cared for over and garaged most of it's life.  Most all of the original owner's service history is from the dealer as evident by all of the parts that have been replaced are factory GM, including the new battery.  At some point several years ago the car was repainted under warranty by GM as the original Pearl White paint was pealing (typical GM car).  They did an average job on the respray, but it looks nice in general and appears very sharp.  All of the exterior trim is very nice with minimum to no sun aging.  The car has never been damaged and the body is straight.  The chrome wheels are very nice ad free of corrosion or damage and the tires have about 50% tread left.  Brakes and rotors are new GM parts. The engine is tight, quiet, and powerful.  If you look in the oil filler cap the internal part of the engine is factory clean.  There are no leaks or issues whatsoever.  It is a very tight an quiet car that has been only adult driven and maintained properly. 

The interior is in very nice condition and shows very little wear.  The back seat is perfect an looks as though it has never been used.  Dash is perfect as all gauges work properly.  It has the upgraded Concert Sound II with the CD changer in the trunk as will as a single disk on the dash. The dual climate control works perfect and the a/c is ice cold.  Headliner and carpet are in great condition.  All controls are working properly, however the right rear window is stubborn at times.  The ashtray sometimes will not click and stay closed, sometimes it will.  It has never been smoked in, however when I drive it I will plug my cell phone charger in the lighter area.  The center console is in good shape, but there is some type of color pealing in one panel. Luckily under the pealing is the same color.  I researched this and found that GM painted some of their parts and this is common.  The front seats do have a little wear in the leather, but nothing major and probably less than the typical car of this era.  The driver's seat bottom front doesn't like to move up and down with power, it just buzzes.  All  of the other dual power seat controls work perfect as does the 4 way lumbar.  All in all, a very clean, well maintained and never abused interior that even smells fresh!

I looked for this model for a while and and found this one to be the one with the best maintained driveline.  She is smooth and quiet and gets great fuel economy.  The supercharger is a must for his car since it siting on the heavier Cadillac chassis.  In essence you have all the luxury of the Seville but without the headaches of the problematic Northstar.  If you are looking for a clean, well maintained Park Avenue Supercharged, look no further...  The car ran out of registration at the end of January, but has the clean original title and will come with a current smog certificate for any California buyers...

Please ask any and all questions, we will be happy to answer them.

Thank You.

First 2013 Buick Encore TV ad features... dinosaurs

Thu, 14 Mar 2013

The whole "SUVs as dinosaurs" trope has become something of a threadbare cliché among auto writers, but that doesn't mean the wider world of consumers has caught on to the Jurassic nature of our line of thinking. That's what General Motors appears to be betting on, at least. Just check out Buick's first television spot for its 2013 Encore, the tiny crossover that is pushing the Tri-Shield into territories unknown while looking to outrun the brand's reputation as a refuge for elderly clientele.
Set to air this weekend on ESPN during the NCAA college basketball tournament, the ad plays up the Encore's maneuverability and surprising interior space by setting the baby Buick amongst a herd of lumbering CG dinosaurs created by Tippett Studio, the folks behind Hollywood blockbusters like Jurassic Park, Ted, and the Twilight series of films.
We can't help but snigger a little - while the Encore is indeed surprisingly roomy, nimble, and composed, our first drive found it to be glacially slow, too... not unlike a certain prehistoric race of animals. Check out the commercial below and judge for yourself.

Buick Electra-X concept teased for Chinese audience

Tue, May 31 2022

Buick is about to show its largest market, China, how the brand does an electric vehicle specifically for that clientele. The Tri-Shield released two images of the shark nose that will grace its Electra-X concept, a follow up to the Electra concept that debuted at the Auto Beijing in 2020. Instead of the 583-horsepower, high-riding, thick-bodied fanciful sedan of yore, the Electra-X should be a much more production-ready version of what Chinese buyers can expect. Buick China said that "The Electra-X concept takes Buick's innovative thinking and imagination of future electric mobility to the next level. It is designed to provide a safer, smarter and more desirable EV experience, building on Buick's deep understanding and insights of local consumers toward electrification and intelligent driving." This will be a different vehicle than the "groovy" EV concept Buick showed its American audience in February of this year, although there are similarities. Buick China also said of the Electra-X that it is "defined by the brand's all-new design language" that embodies "distinct and forward-looking styling, along with an airy interior." Another design trait will be slim, sloping DRLs, seen on the Chinese and U.S. concept teasers, with slight differences. The Asian market can also expect minimal surfacing, an ornate grille treatment, side mirror cameras, and trim A-pillars. Tech-wise, Buick says the Ultium-based product will come with Super Cruise and its Virtual Cockpit System. The China debut happens next month at 2022 Buick Brand Day. Our groovy EV debuts this summer, the automaker planning to have two electric vehicles in U.S. showrooms by the end of 2023. The Electra-X could give big clues about what's headed our way.

Buick takes top spot in 2022 J.D. Power Initial Quality Study

Tue, Jun 28 2022

People, economies, and supply chains weren't the only things continuing to get sick over the past year. The 2022 J.D. Power Initial Quality Study (IQS) is out, showing the average rate of problems per 100 vehicles (PP100) during the first 90 days of ownership increased overall. The average figure for the 32 ranked manufacturers in 2020 was about 166 problems per 100 vehicles. In the 2021 IQS, that dropped to an average of 162. This year, the average jumps to 180 problems. J.D. Power says that figure is a record high over the 36-year history of the study. Buick leapt to the top of the rankings this year with the fewest issues, at 139 problems per 100 vehicles in the first 100 days of ownership. After Dodge became the first American automaker to lead the IQS in 2020, followed by Ram in 2021, this year marks a three-peat for U.S. carmakers. Dodge took second this year at 143 PP100, Chevrolet third with 147 PP100, Genesis the first luxury maker on the chart in fourth with 156 PP100. Between February and May, this year's study gathered responses to 223 questions from more than 84,000 new 2022-model-year car owners and lessees. The questions are designed to zero in on real-world problems new owners encounter with nine categories of vehicle features: Infotainment; features, controls and displays; exterior; driving assistance; interior; powertrain; seats; driving experience; and climate. As has been the case in the past few year, infotainment has proved to be the most problematic bugbear making scores worse. Considering features individually, six of 10 of the worst problem areas dealt with infotainment, causing infotainment's score of 45 PP100 to be 19.5 PP100 worse than the second-placed feature. Consumers ranked getting Android Auto and Apple CarPlay to connect reliably as the most troublesome.  GM didn't just score with Buick, which was one of only nine of the 33 ranked brands to show improvement this year. The conglomerate earned first place with the fewest PP100 among all the automaker groups, and scored the most model-level awards with nine, ahead of BMW with eight and Hyundai Group with three.  This year's study again showed a gap between luxury and mass-market makers, thought to be down to the amount of tech in luxury vehicles that consumers aren't properly informed about or that doesn't act as expected — that latter issue exacerbated by the chip shortage.
