Are you looking for a VERY reliable daily driver that is not only sporty and quick but also gets EXCELLENT gas mileage?  Then this vehicle is for you!!   Years ago General Motors came out with a power plant that would soon be known as being bulletproof and one of the most reliable engines ever designed, which is the 3800 (3.8 liter) V6. The 3800 has been used in MANY GM cars for years and happens to be the power plant in the vehicle I have for sale here. Up for auction is a 2001 Buick Regal GS which not only comes with the bulletproof 3800 Series II engine but also is SUPERCHARGED!  The vehicle is in VERY good shape both inside and out with some imperfections, but has absolutely NO rust and the interior doesn't have ANY rips or tears. I had been driving a couple A to B cars and due to some financial problems I wasn't able to initially get a car loan. My father was willing to help me so I could get a car loan. I began working at a Chrysler dealership and one of the employee perks was being able to get a vehicle so the only reason for sale is because my work offered a vehicle, otherwise I would still be driving this car. It runs GREAT and is not only quick and fun to drive but it gets GREAT gas mileage.  In addition Buicks are known for their EXCELLENT ride quality! I on average got 24-26 mpg on the highway and 95% of the miles were highway miles.  As I said before this has the popular and VERY durable General Motors 3800 Series II block and has ONLY 82000 which if maintained is barely broke in for that specific power plant. The entire time I have owned it I have changed the oil every 2500 miles using Mobil One Synthetic oil and have only used Premium gasoline of 92 octane or higher. The vehicle has never been raced or beat on, the transmission fluid and filter have been changed and that has been it. The supercharger fluid was checked every oil change and none has ever had to be added. Many of these vehicles have had smaller supercharger pulley, under drive pulleys. upgraded supercharges, cold air intakes, different chips, etc but this vehicle is 100% stock with no modifications. The only performance item installed is a K & N panel filter in the factory air box.  This vehicle is FULLY LOADED! It has leather interior, dual power seats, Monsoon stereo system, power windows, power locks and power mirrors. Being I live in MN I had bought a pair of Nokian Hakkapeliitta R2 winter tires for the front and only drove 150 miles before I got my vehicle from my dealership. My father has a Tahoe with brand new Michelin all season tires on it and he had 4 wheel drive and with the Nokian R2s on my drive wheels I stopped 55ft sooner then he did on the snow and the Nokians allow the Regal to go up steep heels with EXTREME ease, they are by far the BEST winter tires I have ever used!!  I do have the all season tires that were on the front and it does have all season tires on the rear with tread depths of 5/32 to 6/32 on them. I do owe $3,900 on it so the Buy it Now price is firm so that it can be fully paid off.  Please ask any questions prior to bidding and if any other pics are wanted I will be more then happy to take them. The car is being stored at my dealership so if any other pics are wanted it may be the following business day before I can take them if the dealership is closed. I WILL sell to non local bidders but they are responsible for their own shipping arrangements.

Is Buick America's most daring mainstream car brand?

Wed, Jan 21 2015

Considering Buick as an adventurous automaker seems a little odd at first thought. But with little fanfare over the last several years, the marque is transforming itself from a brand often associated with elderly drivers to a nameplate willing to take chances in niche segments. The gamble is already paying off with 2014 sales up 11.4 percent in the US to 228,963 cars. Given recent product launches, this experimentation is only likely to continue. The key to the transformation at Buick is its willingness to explore the so-called white space, according to Automotive News; the term refers to niches in the market without rivals as a challenge. In addition, the brand's position in the near-luxury space means that its products are cross-shopped by a large swath of customers. Without having a specific competitor, Buick has more room to experiment within its segment. "Designers love designing Buicks because it's not a paint-by-numbers brand," said Andrew Smith, director of design at Buick and Cadillac, to Automotive News. The company's strategy of going where others haven't is best exemplified by the Encore. The subcompact, luxury crossover came to market early, and Buick found serious success with it. The tiny CUV was the automaker's fastest growing model last year with a 53 percent gain and 48,892 units sold. With the test a triumph, the Encore recently got a sibling in the US in the form of the Chevrolet Trax. The upcoming Cascada is taking a similar approach. The non-sporty convertible segment is practically empty in the US, and this slightly redesigned product from Opel has the opportunity to become a leader in its niche. Of course, Buick's biggest recent surprise was the Avenir concept at the 2015 Detroit Auto Show. The car's swooping shape and use of materials earned it two EyesOn Design Awards against some tough competition. While the company's intentions for this flagship sedan aren't entirely clear yet, the vehicle does "test some of the future design language that will come on the next generation of Buicks," according to brand boss Duncan Aldred to Automotive News, which is definitely something to look forward to.

Next-gen LaCrosse, Cascada convertible coming to Buick showrooms in 2016

Wed, 23 Jul 2014

It's difficult to overstate how significant the post-bankruptcy years have been for General Motors' Buick brand. Arguably the most improved American automaker, Buick has rounded out its range with an excellent compact in the Verano, a well-balanced midsizer in the Regal and a segment-busting mini-CUV, with the Encore.
Seeking to keep that momentum going, the next several years will see the brand address a trio of its most obvious issues. First and foremost will be a replacement for the aging LaCrosse, a vehicle whose only bit of attention since its 2009 debut was a very light refresh in 2013.
According to Automotive News, we should expect the next-generation LaCrosse to arrive late next year or early in 2016, as a 2016 model. AN expects big design changes, as Buick attempts to further the LaCrosse from its popular platform-mate, the Chevrolet Impala. The changes won't be so radical, though, as to do away with its front-drive architecture, as the latest version of the Epsilon platform will underpin the next LaCrosse. The 3.6-liter V6 is likely to carry on, although a smaller, budget-minded offering is also extremely likely (we'll eat our hat if it's not the 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder from the Regal, Verano and Cadillac CTS et al.).

Buick Encore GX fuel economy out, 1.3L more efficient than 1.2L

Fri, Jan 24 2020

EPA fuel economy ratings for the 2020 Buick Encore GX are out, the most powerful engine taking the overall trophy. The new, slighty-less-compact subcompact crossover comes with a turbocharged 1.2-liter three-cylinder as its base engine, putting out 137 horsepower and 166 pound-feet of torque. Available solely with front-wheel drive and with a continuously variable transmission, the powertrain gets 26 miles per gallon in the city, 30 on the highway and 28 combined. The optional engine is a turbocharged 1.3-cylinder with 155 hp and 174 lb-ft. Mating it to the CVT in front-wheel drive guise returns the best fuel economy in the Encore/Encore GX family, being 30 city, 32 highway, 31 combined. That's spot on GM's prediction last year for combined fuel economy. Buyers who opt for the 1.3-liter with all-wheel drive — the engine costing an additional $395, the drivetrain a $2,000 upgrade — get a nine-speed automatic transmission, that combo returning 26 mpg in the city, 29 mpg on the highway and 28 mpg combined. Among luxury front-wheel drive entries, the 2020 BMW X1 sDrive28i gets 27 mpg combined utilizing an eight-speed automatic, the Lexus UX 200 gets 33 mpg combined with a CVT. Among less the expensive options, the Nissan Kicks returns 33 mpg as well through a CVT, the Mazda CX-30 rated at 28 mpg combined and employing a six-speed auto. The Encore once offered two versions of its turbocharged 1.4-liter, but is now left with the lesser-powered unit producing 138 hp and 148 lb-ft, paired with a six-speed automatic. Fuel economy with front-wheel drive is 25 city, 30 highway, 27 combined; with all-wheel drive, that shrinks by one mpg across the board to 24 city, 29 highway and 26 combined. The Encore GX is scheduled to hit dealership sometime this spring. Related Video:
