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. |

Buick Electra-X concept teased for Chinese audience
Tue, May 31 2022Buick 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.

GM expands headlight recall to 180k Buicks and Pontiacs
Thu, Aug 20 2015General Motors is issuing an expanded headlight module recall to include 180,504 examples in North America of the 2005 Buick LaCrosse (2008 model year pictured above) and 2007 Pontiac Grand Prix. Specifically, the campaign affects 159,584 of them in the US and 20,920 in Canada. When the part fails, the vehicles' low beams can stop working either intermittently or permanently. "GM is unable to confirm any crashes, injuries or fatalities related to this condition," the company said in a statement, and there's currently no permanent repair for the problem. For now, dealers will replace the headlamp module with a new example of the same part. The automaker first announced this campaign in November 2014 when it affected 316,357 examples globally of the 2006-09 Buick LaCrosse; 2006-2007 Chevy TrailBlazer and TrailBlazer EXT; 2006-2007 GMC Envoy and 2006 GMC Envoy XL; 2006-2007 Buick Rainier; 2006-2008 Saab 9-7X; and 2006-08 Isuzu Ascender.
