Very Rare Buick Diesel Park Avenue. GM only put the 4.3 V6 Diesel in the Front Wheel Drive Park Avenue's one year - 1985. Unlike the early 350 V8s that had issues with the head bolts the V6 is actually a very good engine when serviced properly as evidenced by the high but orginal miles of this unit. The top end was redone , injection pump serviced, and transmission rebuilt in the last 30,000 miles. It starts right up and runs great. Transmission shifts are tight. If your state has inspection it will need new front brakes and some work to the emergency brake cables. Interior is in very good condtion. Body is in fair condition - take note of surface rust starting at the door edges and slight damage on left front fender. The car is sold as-is. I ran the RWD version in an Oldsmobile Cutlass years ago and have been very happy with this engine - plus it gets great MPG. Rated around 26 city 42 Highway in this model. I picked this one up about a year ago and planned to start driving it when my daughter got her license and took over my other car - but in the meantime I found this engine in an Olds 98 which is the only reason I am selling this one. (I more of an Oldsmobile guy). Low Reserve as I could keep it as a parts car but I would rather see it go to someone who is going to keep it on the road. Buyer is responsible for any shipping costs. Email any questions you might have and thanks for looking.

GM recalling 2013 Buick LaCrosse, Cadillac SRX over transmission software
Thu, 21 Mar 2013The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued recalls for the 2013 Buick LaCrosse and 2013 Cadillac SRX due to a problem with the software for the transmission controller. On about 27,000 SRX and LaCrosse models, the transmission could accidentally be shifted to Sport mode, which would reduce the amount of engine braking drivers experience.
NHTSA says this could increase the risk of a crash, but, fortunately, the required fix is simply an update to the software.
While we're on the subject of General Motors vehicle recalls, a small number (48) of compressed natural gas versions of the 2011 Chevrolet Express are also being recalled for a potential risk of fire or explosion. Yikes. Both official recall notices are posted below.
GM claims it's first to sell million 30+ mpg vehicles
Fri, 04 Jan 2013As we continue to put together all the data for the year-end edition of By The Numbers, General Motors has announced that it sold more than a million vehicles in the US last year that achieved at least 30 miles per gallon on the highway. More impressively, GM managed this feat using multiple strategies including small vehicle size, turbocharged engines and hybrid or plug-in technologies across four brands (Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet and GMC) accounting for 13 separate models. This number will grow even more in 2013 thanks to cars like the all-electric Spark, the diesel Cruze, the range-extended Cadillac ELR and the Buick Encore compact CUV.
GM's small car sales were up 39 percent last year helping to attain this million-sales mark for 30-mpg models, and almost 40 percent of all GM sales consisted of cars with fuel-efficient I4 engines. In regards to more advanced means of improving fuel economy, GM says that it plans on having 500,000 vehicles with "some form of electrification" on the road by 2017.

GM recalling over 243,000 crossovers over possible seat belt defect
Tue, 17 Aug 20102010 Buick Enclave - Click above for high-res image gallery
The summer of 2010's recall hit parade continues unabated today, with General Motors having just announced that it is asking 243,403 owners of its 2009-2010 Lambda crossovers to bring their three-row haulers in for inspection. The culprit? Second-row seat belts in select Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse, GMC Acadia, and Saturn Outlook CUVs have "failed to perform properly in a crash."
According to GM, a second-row seat-side trim piece is to blame, as it can impede the upward rotation of the buckle after the seat is folded flat. As a result, if the buckle makes contact with the seat frame, cosmetic damage can occur, potentially requiring additional force to operate the buckle properly. So far, no great shakes, but in the process of applying that additional force, the occupant may push the buckle cover down to the strap, potentially revealing and depressing the red release button. As a result of this, the belt may not latch, or in certain cases, it may actually appear to be latched when, in fact, it isn't.
