1999 Buick Park Avenue Ultra-low Miles-very Well Taken Care Of-supercharged! on 2040-cars
Fountain Valley, California, United States
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. |

2020 Buick Encore GX pricing makes it a better bargain than the smaller Encore
Thu, Nov 14 2019In April, Buick revealed the Encore GX at Auto Shanghai. At the time, we thought there was a chance the slightly larger GX would supplant the Encore in the U.S. By August, we learned that wouldn't happen, the Encore GX slotting into the lineup between the Encore and the Envision. With nearly $8,000 between the starting prices of the Encore and the Envision, there'd be plenty of room for the GX to find a good home leaving plenty of MSRP daylight between the crossover bookends. That doesn't appear to be what's happened, though. CarsDirect got hold of an early order guide for the Encore GX, and writes that the Encore GX in Preferred trim will cost $24,100 before a $995 destination charge, totaling $25,095. That's $900 more than the entry-level Encore in 1SV trim, but $500 less than the Encore in comparable Preferred trim.  The Encore offers an intermediate Sport Touring trim between Preferred and top-level Essence trims. The Encore GX will come in an intermediate Select trim, which CarsDirect didn't mention a price for. Stepping up to the top Essence variant with front-wheel drive costs $29,495 for the Encore GX, $800 less than a similar Encore, which costs $30,295.  If these are the figures that show up on dealer lots, the Encore GX seems like a no-brainer. The Encore rides on an older GM platform called GEM, for Global Emerging Markets, the GX model is built on GM's new VSS-F architecture. Both are fine looking vehicles, but the GX is a little more handsome. The Encore offers one engine, a 1.4-liter four-cylinder with 138 horsepower and 148 pound-feet of torque, shifting through a six-speed transmission. The base engine on the Encore GX will be a 1.2-liter turbocharged three-cylinder with an estimated 137 hp and 166 lb-ft, shifting through a CVT. The second GX engine is a 1.3-liter turbocharged three-cylinder with an estimated 155 hp and 174 lb-ft, optional on the front-wheel drive Select and Essence trims, standard on every all-wheel-drive model. That more powerful motor shifts through a nine-speed automatic. As if all that weren't enough, the GX's reason for being is that it offers more room. An additional three inches in length provides an extra 4.7 cubic feet of cargo room behind the second row. The GX wins on safety, too, coming standard with tech like forward collision alert, lane keep assist, lane departure warning, and automatic emergency braking.
2017 North American Car, Truck, and Utility of the Year entries announced
Wed, Jul 6 2016Over 40 vehicles will compete for the 2017 North American Car, Truck, and Utility of the Year awards. If that name looks a little strange, it's because the competition added a third category. In years past, pickup trucks, crossovers, SUVs, commercial vans, and minivans competed for the same award. That's why there were occasionally weird comparisons, like last year's competition between the Volvo XC90 and Nissan Titan XD. The new format separates pickups and commercial vans into the truck contest and CUVs, SUVs, and minivans into the utility competition. A complete list of eligible vehicles is below, but here are a few highlights. For one, the entire list of entries has a luxurious lean. Of the 43 vehicles, nearly half of them are from premium brands. There are two eligible Bentleys – the Bentayga and Mulsanne – the Rolls-Royce Dawn, Jaguar F-Pace, Audi Q7, and the Mercedes-Benz GLS-, E-, and S-Class Maybach. The performance ranks are lofty, too, with the Audi R8, Acura NSX, Alfa Romeo Giulia, Mercedes SL- and SLC-Class, Porsche 718, and F-150 Raptor. The mainstream entries are just as comprehensive. From the Chrysler Pacifica to the Chevrolet Cruze to the Fiat 124 Spider to the Mitsubishi Mirage, NACTOY has covered an enormous price range with this year's contestants. Of course, these are only the eligible vehicles. They'll need to run through three rounds of judging, starting in September at NACTOY's traditional Hell, MI, test drive. The Canadian and American journalists involved in the judging will announce this year's nine finalists – three in each category – on December 6.

GM’s Charlie Wilson was right: Stronger regulations can help U.S. automakers
Fri, Oct 26 2018Charlie Wilson had been the president and CEO of General Motors before being nominated to become secretary of defense by Dwight Eisenhower. During his Senate confirmation hearings, he controversially said, "For years I thought what was good for our country was good for General Motors, and vice versa." And he was right. While car companies aren't necessarily the most progressive when it comes to things that might have the slightest possibility of political blowback, General Motors should be credited for doing something absolutely forthright in this regard with its announcement that it wants the federal U.S. government not to squash the California Air Resources Board's emissions requirements but to actually create a 50-state "National Zero Emissions Vehicle" program that, in the words of Mark Reuss, executive vice president and president, Global Product Group and Cadillac, "will drive the scale and infrastructure investments needed to allow the U.S. to lead the way to a zero emission future." Filing comments to the Safer Affordable Fuel-Efficient Vehicles Rule for Model Years 2021-2026 Passenger Cars and Light Trucks is one thing. But a graphic the company developed for this announcement — shown above — is something else entirely, something that is absolutely credible, creative and clever. There is a photo of a Chevrolet Bolt EV driving along a highway, which seems to be in Marin County (based on the blurred San Francisco skyline in the background). Text on the photo states: "It's Time for American Leadership in Zero Emissions Vehicles." It seems to say, in effect, "If we want to make America great again, then we're going to do it by leading in technology, not by retreating behind weakened regulations." General Motors understands that the auto market is globally competitive, and if U.S.-based companies are going to be in the game, then they'd better be able to out-innovate the companies based elsewhere, where emissions and economy standards are not being weakened. What's good for our country ... Related Video:
