If you're reading this ad, you've probably been looking for just the right Reatta to enjoy and drive. Look no further, this is it! This example is sporting just over 140,000 original miles. Just barely getting broken in. I have personally driven Reattas with over 280,000 miles. These cars, if well maintained, will last a long time. I bought this car in Rock Hill, SC in 2012, and This car has been my personal car for over two years, and I've driven it almost on a daily basis during warm months. It is garaged during the winter, and as I said before, is completely rust free. During my ownership, along with regular oil changes, I have fixed, isntalled, and upgraded the following items ~New Haartz cloth convertible top with heated glass back window (April 2013 - 134,000 miles) Upgraded from factory original vinyl to a durable top that will last for years. ~New color keyed headliner. (April 2013 - 134,000 miles) Tan to match the interior. Replaced the factory black, and removes the claustrophobic cave feel. ~New ABS Brake accumulator (July 2012 - 123,000 miles) A must have on any Reatta to ensure the reliability of the brake system ~Refurbished headlight motors with lifetime limited warranty (June 2012 122,000 miles) Headlight problems are a guarnteed problem with Reattas. No need to ever worry about it with this car. ~NOS sunvisor clips installed (February 2013 - 133,500 miles) These are normally broken. I replaced with New Old Stock from GM ~Refurbished factory radio and CD player (January 2013 - 133,500) the CD player is a rare option on 1990 and 1991 Reattas. This one has been professionally overhauled. ~New speakers all around (June 2012 - 122,000 miles) The entire stereo has been gone through and sounds like new ~New Monroe Sensatrac struts on all four corners (June 2013 -135,000 miles) No bouncing, rattling, moaning, or any other unpleasant sounds. The car rides like a true Buick again. ~New brake pads on all four corners (June 2013 -135,000 miles) Yet again, another thing you don't have to worry about with this car. ~New 16" chrome wheels with custom Reatta center caps (September 2012 -129,000 miles) They add a look to this Reatta that you just won't find on any other car. ~New Toyo Versado 215/60/16 tires (September 2012 -129,000 miles) Ride great, very quiet, and still have tons of rubber left on them. Many more miles of carefree cruising. Not to mention the beautifully working A/C (converted to R134a) that blows hard and cold, and the overall great condition of the car. No rips or tears in the leather upholstery, the optional 16-way power driver's seat works flawlessly in all functions. The 16-way seats were engineered by Leer Corp and really give you great support. The best description I have heard of to describe them is that they feel like you're sitting IN them rather than on them which is what you feel with the standard seats. I am 5' 11" and very comfortable. I have some customers that are over 6' and will not have anything but a 16-way seat in their car because it's so much more comfortable. Particularly to tall people The car comes with the original window sticker. The car was originally a Buick Motor Division Show Car. It's equipped with all availble options, even the YF5 California Emissions Certification. All of this information is on the window sticker for your viewing pleasure. Being a BMD showcar, when it was finally sold to the public, it was given simply the owners manual in the leather sleeve. Not the coveted Owner's Portfolio that Reattas are known for having. I do have an extra complete owner's portfolio that I can include with the car for $500 extra of the final sale price. This may not be a perfect original example, but it is a stunning car that's fun to drive, and is very comfortable for two people and luggage. Day trips to the beach or the mountains, or long trips to wherever! The perfect retirement car to tour in. Not to mention it's a great car for tooling around town in running errands and taking to Friday night cruise-ins. The paint is a 7/10. Not perfect, but very presentable. It has two small chips in the front windshield on the driver's side (see picture). The previous owner said he had them sealed, and they have never spread or been an issue for me. They aren't in the driver's line of sight. The engine runs smooth, the transmission shifts like butter, and it rides like a Buick should. These cars were known for having bad cowl-shake problems going down the road between 49 and 52 MPH. This one you can feel a little bit, but it's barely noticeable. In my experience buying Reatta convertibles, it's always the higher-milage cars that have less cowl shake. My only explanation is that they rode better, and thus got driven much more. So while you may be considering some other 40,000 mile beauties in your Reatta search, consider how much less you'll be driving the car if you're uncomfortable with the ride. Why am I selling? I have 5 other Reattas, and my garage is full. I've had this car for a couple summers and have gotten my use out of it, and need the money to put into other projects. I have over $11,000 invested, but I deduct a certain amount per year of the car's value in the amount of enjoyment I receive from it. Whether it's for long road trips, beach trips or ice cream runs with the kids or grand kids, or just for the night out with your significant other, this Reatta is sure to serve you well and bring thumbs-up and bewildered looks wherever you drive her. Have any questions? Feel free to call me any time (919) 233 1973. I have more pictures available upon request. I'm glad to meet locals to see the car in person if you're interested. I reserve the right to end the auction at any time. Deposit of $500 due at the end of the auction. The remaining money must be paid in cash upon pick-up. The reserve is below the Buy it Now price. Car is located in Raleigh NC. Fly into RDU and drive home. We can discuss delivery options if you do not want to pick it up, however, it must be paid in full before I start the trip. My rate for delivery is $2.00/mile. Which includes all of my gas and other vehicle expenses. There's no place I won't go, so don't think I won't deliver it that far. Just ask, I may do it. |

New Forza Horizon 2 pack features Chevy Monte Carlo SS, Audi RS6 Avant [w/video]
Tue, Dec 2 2014The latest car pack for Forza Horizon 2 is hitting Xbox Live today, giving Xbox One owners a shot at six new vehicles that date back to 1970. Leading the charge in the hearts and minds of the Autoblog staff is, of course, the 1988 Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS, one of the most 80s-tastic performance coupes of its time. Chevy's 80s-era NASCAR representative is joined by another General Motors performance two-door, in the form of the 1970 Buick GSX. Complete with a 455-cubic-inch V8, the GSX could best be thought of as the grandpappy to the iconic GNX of the late 1980s. Crossing the pond, we have a trio of offerings from the United Kingdom, with the 2002 Lotus Esprit V8, the redesigned, aluminum-intensive 2014 Land Rover Range Rover Supercharged and finally, the 2015 McLaren 650S. The mid-engined offerings should be a riot on the winding roads of Forza Horizon 2's European locales, while the Range Rover should make cross-country efforts an absolute breeze. Finally, virtual wagon lovers will be able to enjoy the 2015 Audi RS6 Avant and its combination of Quattro all-wheel drive and a twin-turbocharged V8. As per usual, this latest car pack will be available to gamers for $5 while season pass owners will score the sextet of vehicles for free. Scroll down for a video of the new offerings in action, as well as the official press release from Turn 10 Studios.

Buick Envision Plus is a seven-seater tweener developed for China
Tue, Apr 20 2021Buick has filled the gap separating the Envision and the Enclave with a new crossover named Envision Plus. Launched at the Shanghai auto show, the three-row people-mover is scheduled to go on sale in China later in 2021. The plus-sized Envision stretches 190.7 inches long, 74.1 inches wide, and 66.7 inches tall, figures that make it around eight inches longer and two inches taller than the regular Envision. It's also a full 14 inches shorter, four inches narrower, and three inches lower than the Enclave, which is the biggest crossover in the Buick range. Designers didn't settle for stretching the Envision's wheelbase. They gave the Plus a more upright front end characterized by a taller grille, a flatter and longer roofline, and a redesigned rear end accented by a strip of bright trim that connects the lights. Only photos of the upscale Avenir trim (shown above) have been published so far. Images of the cabin are not available yet. We expect the Plus offers an interior close to the standard Envision's — from the driver's point of view, at least. The biggest difference is that the longer Envision lives up to its name by letting motorists take more gear or kids along for the ride thanks to a more spacious trunk and third-row seats. Power for the Envision Plus comes from a turbocharged, 2.0-liter EcoTec four-cylinder engine fitted with 48-volt mild-hybrid technology. Bolted to a nine-speed automatic transmission, the turbo-four is the same basic engine found in the American-spec Envision, where it develops 228 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, but figures for the Plus weren't released. Front- and all-wheel-drive models will presumably be available. Buick will release pricing information closer to the model's on-sale date. As of writing, the Envision Plus has only been announced for China, where it will be built, but unverified reports claim it will arrive in American showrooms before the end of 2021. We've reached out to the company, and we'll update this story if we learn more. 2021 Buick Verano Pro GS View 5 Photos What else did Buick show in Shanghai? Buick no longer sells sedans in America, but it remains present in that segment on the Chinese market. In addition to the Envision Plus, it unveiled a model named Verano Pro developed specifically for China, built locally, and aimed at relatively young buyers. At launch, motorists will be asked to choose between the regular sedan and a sportier-looking variant that wears the storied GS emblem.
2018 Buick Enclave spied looking slim in Death Valley
Thu, Sep 8 2016The nine-year-old Buick Enclave is well past its prime, but this set of spy photos reveals that GM won't put the vehicle out of its misery, but will give the vehicle a large update instead. Our photographers managed to catch Buick testing a heavily-camouflaged 2018 Enclave testing below sea level near Death Valley. Buick was testing the prototype in Nevada earlier this year, but slapped a trailer onto the back of the SUV. Thanks to the camouflage that covers the badging, headlights, taillights, and hood, there's no way to confirm if the prototype is really a Buick or something from Chevrolet. But the circular outline on the grille has us leaning towards it being a Buick. Five LED running lights shine through the heavy camouflage, while Buick's iconic waterfall grille is prominently uncovered. The Enclave, which came out in 2008, shares the same platform as the GMC Acadia and Chevrolet Traverse. With the new Acadia slimming down and ditching the old Lambda platform in favor of the Chi platform, the Enclave will surely follow suit. The Enclave, though, is expected to get a stretched version of the Chi platform with three rows. While the entire body is concealed, the prototype's side profile looks to be slimmer than the current Enclave. With the addition of the new, lighter platform, the Enclave is expected to get GM's new 3.6-liter V6 with a nine-speed automatic transmission added later down the road. The new Enclave is expected to make its debut early next year as a 2018 model, which will be followed by the reveal of the Traverse shortly after.
