One Florida owner from 1989 to December 2012 when It was sold to CarMax with 79,900 miles - and I purchased it. (I have a copy of the original title show original owner, purchase and sale date). The car was in remarkable original condition, but the clearcoat was in poor condition on the top and hood..I had the car professionaly repainted the correct red. The leather interior is original and unbelievable condition. No tears, cracks etc. Some carpet fading. The car ran fairly good, although I thought it might have been setting the past year or so..I installed new injectors, turneup, serviced/cleaned radiator, new catalyic converter..In all, I spent about $4000 for mechanics, and paint...The car runs absolutely beautiful. The touch computer screen works beautifully and "turns on" everything as it should. The body is perfect - no rust, no scratches, no dents..No bondo was needed or used when repainted. The only negative is that the speedometer screen went "black" about two weeks ago..It will not light up. I took it to the local Buick dealer but no one knew how to fix it..I did find sources on the internet that repairs the module for about $350...I've driven the car about 500 miles since I bought it so the mileage is about 80,000..Overall, an extremely nice Reatta...

2020 Buick Encore drops more powerful 1.4-liter four-cylinder option
Tue, May 21 2019It's not just Chevrolet Equinox, Terrain and Traverse crossovers and Cadillac CT6 enjoying the engine and trim switcheroos this spring. Based on the order guide, CarsDirect reports that the Buick Encore, Buick's most popular model by far, will lose one of its two engines. The 2019 Encore offers a 1.4-liter four-cylinder in two guises: one with 138 horsepower and 148 pound-feet of torque, the other with 153 hp and 177 lb-ft and stop/start. The more powerful version will not be an option on the 2020 Encore. The upgraded motor is a $250 option, but only after spending an additional $2,600 to move up to the Sport Touring trim, or shelling out $6,100 to reach the Essence trim. Aggressive deals could make the higher trims more economical, though; at the time of writing, the Sport Touring Encore includes $3,250 cash allowance, making it $650 less expensive than the base Encore 1SV. The more powerful 1.4-liter engine also delivered better gas mileage, with buyers getting one more mile per gallon in combined driving. Even so, buyers didn't dig it. In comments to CarsDirect, a Buick spokesperson said those purchasing 2019 Encores have only chosen the burlier motor 12 percent of the time. The weak take-rate could end up doing Buick an easy favor. The Buick Encore GX is expected to make landfall on U.S. shores sometime this year, riding on a different platform than our present Encore, and bringing a longer wheelbase with it. It will slide into the lineup between the $23,200 Encore and $31,995 Envision. This is all hypothetical at the moment, of course, but that seems a perfect place to insert the 153-hp 1.4-liter as an exclusive standard feature.
38k GM eAssist hybrids recalled for circuit board, fire risk
Mon, 06 May 2013General Motors has issued a recall covering 38,197 2012 and 2013 model-year Chevy Malibu Eco, Buick LaCrosse and Regal sedans equipped with eAssist, and sold in the United States. The automaker will check the generator control module for proper operation. Only vehicles built before December 2012 are being recalled.
According to the automaker, a malfunctioning generator control module could slowly drain the battery, causing an indicator to light up in the dash. If that indicator is ignored, the driver may experience a stalling engine, and in some cases, "a burning or melting odor, smoke, and, in rare instances, a fire in the trunk."
GM says the issue is not with the eAssist battery pack; the smoke and fire comes from overheating of the control board. One trunk fire has been reported, but no injuries are known. Scroll down below for the official press release from GM.
