2001 Buick Regal Gs Supercharged 3.8 Liter Very Good Condition Low Miles on 2040-cars
Minneapolis, Minnesota, United States
|
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.

GM throttles back Chevy Malibu, Buick LaCrosse production over swollen inventories
Wed, 06 Feb 2013As inventory of the Chevrolet Malibu and Buick LaCrosse continues to pile up, General Motors will be idling its Fairfax Assembly Plant for two weeks, according to Automotive News. This move comes about a month after the plant was shut down for three weeks in late December and early January for the same reason. As of January 31, the GM had a 94-day supply of Malibu stock while the LaCrosse was a little worse with a 117-day supply.
Just last week, GM announced that it would be investing $600 million in upgrading this plant, but it's unclear what future plans the company has in store for Fairfax considering slow sales of both the plant's models. We do expect a refreshed and more luxurious LaCrosse shortly and an early design update for the Malibu to be announced at some point this year, although we have had no official word as to when either will happen.
eBay Find of the Day: 1981 DeLorean with 570-hp twin-turbo Buick V6 [w/videos]
Mon, 23 Dec 2013"Are you telling me that you built a time machine... out of a DeLorean?" So asked one Marty McFly of his mentor Dr. Emmett Brown, who replied: "The way I see it, if you're gonna build a time machine into a car, why not do it with some style?"
Doc Brown was right, of course: with an exotic mid-engine layout, gullwing doors and stainless steel body, the DeLorean DMC-12 sure looked the part. It just needed a little more juice. Well this one might not have 1.21 gigawatts of time-bending power - that'd be more than one and a half million horsepower - but it does have more than the 150 hp in the the standard 2.8-liter V6.
That's because this particular DeLorean has had its stock Peugeot Renault Volvo engine swapped out for a Buick-sourced, all-aluminum, 4.3-liter V6 from the Grand National. Dutteiller Performance didn't leave the engine in stock form, either: while they were swapping it out, they added a pair of turbochargers, new pistons, crank, cams and much, much more.
Buick struggling to keep up with Encore demand
Tue, 06 Aug 2013Buick is having a hard time keeping up with demand for its all-new Encore mini-CUV, according to a report from Automotive News. The stylish, lifted five-door went on sale in January, but dealers have reported that supplies have dwindled after the initial high demand, taking the proverbial "wind out of the sails."
General Motors admits that it underestimated demand for the diminutive Buick, which is built in Korea and sold as the Opel Mokka in Europe, where it's also seen success. Buick spokesperson Nick Richards told AN, "We increased production, so there have been a lot more landing within the last month."
Buick has done a booming business, though, even with its limited supply of Encores. With over 12,000 units sold in the first half of 2013, the small CUV is on pace to annihilate industry analysts' estimates, which predicted no more than 18,500 units in 2013. We're not entirely surprised. When we first drove the Encore late last year, Autoblog professed that we had no idea how sales would turn out, as the Encore wasn't really entering into an established segment. Even so, wefound a surprising amount to like in the Encore, enough that we "wouldn't bet against it" being a major success.
