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. |

GM cutting Chevy Sonic, Buick Verano production by more than 20%
Sat, Jun 13 2015General Motors' Orion Assembly plant in Michigan is seeing even more production cuts this year to further reduce inventories of the Chevrolet Sonic and Buick Verano. These latest adjustments mean layoffs for about 100 workers in phases starting in July. "GM Orion Assembly will adjust plant production capacity to better align with market demand," the company said in a statement announcing the change. Through May, sales of the Sonic are down 28.5 percent to 29,082 vehicles, and the Verano is off 15.6 percent, with 15,279 sold this year. According to unnamed plant insiders speaking to Automotive News, the assembly rate is slowing at Orion Assembly from the current 33 cars an hour down to 26 an hour, a 21-percent reduction. GM is also reportedly going to keep the plant idle for three weeks during the normal summer shutdown, rather than the usual two. Earlier in the year, the factory was idled for two weeks due to excess supply of the Sonic and Verano. In March, it was closed again for several days for the same reason. The Orion Assembly plant is the future home to the line for the Chevy Bolt EV. GM Statement: GM Orion Assembly will adjust plant production capacity to better align with market demand. A phased layoff of approximately 100 employees will begin in July 2015 and conclude by year-end.

Hyundai tops VW and Buick in China, survey says
Wed, Apr 15 2015You may be aware of the long-time competition in China between Volkswagen and Buick, but another brand apparently should be in that conversation too: Hyundai. In a recently published annual consumer survey, the Korean company actually took the top spot to beat out its German and American rivals in second and third, respectively. The results were part of the China Brand Power Index that interviewed 11,500 people around the nation and was paid for by the country's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. While Hyundai proved popular with voters, its sales haven't necessarily shown that yet. According to Bloomberg, the brand had falling numbers in China for the first quarter of the year. Even Ford outsold the South Korean automaker in the same period, despite scoring lower on the survey. Meanwhile, Audi ranked as the populace's favorite luxury brand, which is hardly a surprise given the Four Rings' strong sales in China. In January alone the automaker saw a 15-percent boost in volume there. Parent company VW's strong performance was somewhat more surprising, though. State media severely criticized the German automaker in March, and customers protested last year for the allegedly poor handling of a recall.
