I am the second owner of this vehicle - original owner was a family friend.<><>Vehicle has been parked and not driven since 2000 with current DMV NON-OP.<><>Fresh fuel and fuilds have been maintained and I ran the engine bi-monthly.<><>The engine does/and always has run smooth - no abnormal or unusual noises.<><>With the exception of an occasional dead battery, this vehicle has never failed to start for me.<><>While road operated, oil was changed every 3K.<><> ALL ORIGINAL BODY, ENGINE, INTERIOR, PAINT, GLASS, ETC..<><>Other than oil, plugs, filters, brake pads, etc.... I believe the only parts I replaced (years ago) were the shocks and master cylinder. The engine is a GM350V8 with a 4 barrel carburetor.<><><><><>DISCLOSURE: KNOWN  ISSUES: 1) There are areas (patches) of rust around the back windshield and back side glass. CAUSE: Over the years the vinyl top had ripped allowing water to be trapped at the base of the roof. This vehicle has only and always been in California - there is no lower body rust. 2) The valve cover gaskets are dry and cracked so when the engine runs for 5 to10 minutes, smoke can be seen coming off the exhaust mainfolds. No major leaks from lower end/oil pan area but there are some in the transmission area. Back when I drove it, I did have to add transmission fluid once a month or so to keep the level up and avoid slippage.<><> Engine never burned any noticable amount of oil (i.e.- didn't blow smoke). 3) Paint is completely faded and interior shows wear on driver's seat and driver's floor board, otherwise overall fair to decent condition for it age. 4) Some trim and molding missing or damaged and much of the rubber/grommets are worn and/or torn. 5) For reasons unknown (?) the trunk lock recently stopped working, but the full size spare was out when this occurred. I chose not to force it open in the case that it can be repaired or opened from inside.<><><><><> POSITIVES: "ALL ORIGINAL - NO ACCIDENTS - RUNNING/LOW MILEAGE ENGINE (under 68K)"<><><><><> My goal was to someday restore it, but I no longer have the time, space, money, and/or energy. This car was always very pleasurable to drive. It was solidly built, weighing in at aprx.5700 lbs.. With a fair amount of TLC this vehicle can again be made road worthy.<><><><><>   PAYMENT: Within 2 DAYS of winning bid I require a $500 DEPOSIT to be made through PayPal and the balance to be paid in CASH, IN PERSON, at the time buyer takes possession of the vehicle. Possession of vehicle is to be taken within than 10 DAYS of cleared deposit. BUYER TO ARRANGE FOR TRANSPORT. Extra time may be allotted to facilitate buyer's transport arrangements as long as PAYMENT HAS BEEN MADE IN FULL. I have not tried to mask or hide any of this vehicle's issues, i.e.- primering, sanding, faded paint areas and/or puttying rusted areas, because I felt it best to let the buyer see it as it currently and physically is. Conversely, the white patches/areas above the back side windows are actually some kind of glue or putty the manufacturer used to hold down the vinyl top.<><> I will gladly answer any and all questions, please ask before you bid. I can also supply more detailed and specific area photos at inquirers request.    

Thank you.

Buick Encore GX expected to come to the U.S. alongside the popular Encore

Mon, Apr 22 2019

When we posted on Buick unveiling the Encore GX at Auto Shanghai 2019 as a longer-wheelbase version of the Encore, we though the GX trim could supplant our local Encore. According to Automotive News, citing "sources familiar with the plans," Buick will sell both the Encore and the Encore GX here. Brand boss Duncan Aldred told Buick dealers in January to expect a new model this year, and it appears the slightly larger subcompact crossover is that product. GM Authority reported the same news in March, the outlet saying that Buick intends to re-create in the U.S. the "model family" strategy the carmaker employs in China. Over there, our rebadged Verano sold as the first-generation Excelle, Excelle GT and Excelle GX, the GX being the wagon version of the sedan. When the Excelle trio moved a less expensive platform for the second generation, Buick introduced a Verano model in China in both sedan and Verano GS hatchback forms. AN reported that Buick is also planning a smaller three-row Enclave for China. The Encore GX differs fundamentally from both the Chinese- and U.S.-market Encores. Our Encore, a rebadged Opel/Vauxhall Mokka, rides on the Gamma II platform. The second-generation China-market Encore rides on GM's new Global Emerging Markets (GEM) platform, an updated version of the Gamma II for regions like China and Latin America. The Encore GX rides on the Vehicle Strategy Set - Front (VSS-F) architecture. AN wasn't sure yet where our U.S.-market Encore GX will be built, but doesn't expect it to come from China. The Encore GX here will slide into the lineup between the $23,200 Encore and $31,995 Envision. Whereas the Chinese model aims to stop hemorrhaging Encore sales in China, our version will want to expand the Encore success story. Since it went on sale in 2013, the model has posted double-digit sales increases here every year save for last year. In 2018 the model sold 93,073 units, accounting for 47 percent of brand sales. There's no reason to doubt the Encore GX will boost that number.

Buick Avenir concept struts into Motown

Mon, Jan 12 2015

We love auto show surprises, and Buick has already gifted us a sparkly package on the eve of the 2015 Detroit Auto Show. Dubbed Avenir, this four-door concept is said to signal the future of the Trishield brand by previewing a possible flagship sedan. Incorporating time-honored Buick design hallmarks like the sweep-spear profile, Ventiports, and even a subtle boattail rear-end, the four-place sedan is powered by a surprisingly real-world powertrain – namely a next-generation V6 with cylinder deactivation and stop/start, with the most interesting part of the driveline arguably being a "twin-clutch all-wheel-drive system" and a nine-speed automatic gearbox with paddle shifters. Make no mistake, this is a big car. At 204.5 inches long, it's longer than a standard-wheelbase Cadillac Escalade – a span that's emphasized by the car's long hood and waterfall grille – though it's not quite as wide. While clearly a showcar, the beautifully crafted interior looks largely produceable, including attributes like a next-generation 12-inch touchscreen infotainment system and 4G LTE wifi, but we suspect a production car would pick up a third rear seatbelt and give away some of its flowing contours that are said to have been "inspired by nature and sea waves receding on a beach." No word yet on whether there's actually a showroom future for a car like this – it could simply be an exercise designed to test the waters for a next-generation LaCrosse. After all, sedans aren't exactly popular concept fodder these days, especially as crossovers continue to eat into traditional sedan sales in many of the world's markets. However, China still loves the coddling rear seats of a proper four-door sedan (which in this case include silk and bamboo elements), and with a majority of Buick sales happening in the People's Republic, the Asian nation controls the destiny of this General Motors brand. Said another way? Anything is possible, especially with General Motors known to be working on a large flagship sedan for Cadillac already – the Avenir is reportedly based on the same Omega architecture that will underpin the forthcoming CT6. What do you think? Is this a promising direction for the resurgent Buick? Scroll through our gallery, check out the video, and then have your say in Comments.
