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.

May 2016: FCA wins, Ford and GM stumble on weak car volumes

Wed, Jun 1 2016

The May 2016 sales numbers are in, and it looks as though FCA is getting some vindication for boldly cancelling two slow-selling car models. Meanwhile, Ford saw overall sales dip and GM's May volume took a big dive versus the same month in 2015. While Marchionne's decision to axe the Chrysler 200 and Dodge Dart has drawn criticism as being short-sighted, it's working for FCA so far. Although the Dart and 200 aren't out of production yet and no capacity has been shifted to crossover or trucks, May's numbers show that the emphasis on Jeep and Ram models makes sense right now. FCA's US sales rose 1 percent last month compared to May 2015, putting the year-to-date total at 955,186 vehicles, an increase of 6 percent compared to the same period last year. Standouts included the Jeep Renegade, Compass, and Patriot, and the Fiat 500X. Ram pickup sales were down 3 percent. And your fun fact is that Alfa Romeo sales were up precisely 10 percent, for a total of 44 4Cs sold versus 40 in the same month last year. At FoMoCo, the Ford brand took a hit to the tune of 6.4 percent from May 2015 to 2016, registering 226,190 sales last month. Lincoln showed improvement on its modest numbers, going from 9,174 to 9,807, a 6.9 percent increase. Overall, Ford was down 5.9 percent for the month to 235,997; despite the slump, year-to-date total Ford sales are up 4.2 percent to 1,112,939. Strong sellers included Escape, Expedition, F-Series, and Transit - big stuff. Most small and/or efficient models (Fiesta, Focus, Fusion, C-Max) saw sales slides. Fusion sales were also down, likely due to effects of model changeover to the freshened 2017 model. Ford has promised four new crossovers and SUVs by 2020 and if things keep trending this way the company will be able to sell them, but things could change in the next four years. GM saw the worst of it for domestic brands. Retail and fleet sales were down for each of the four divisions, with the May 2016 total dropping 18 percent to 240,450 vehicles. GM's year-to-date sales are down 5.0 percent in 2016 to 1,183,705. Both the Sierra and Silverado were down significantly, and the majority of Chevy, Buick, GMC, and Cadillac nameplates saw sales decreases, with both small cars and larger utilities included. Not even big stuff could help GM this month, it seems. We'll have more on the rest of the industry's May sales as those figures trickle in.

2021 Buick Encore sheds top two trims, offer only Base and Preferred

Fri, Aug 28 2020

A few days ago, CarsDirect reported that the 2021 Buick Encore would prune its top two trims, the Sport Touring and Essence variants. Paring those two trims would leave the Base and the Preferred, creating larger price and amenities differences between the stalwart Encore and the new, larger, nicer Encore GX. It turns out the change has already gone into effect for the 2020 model year, as shown in Encore's Build & Price page at the brand's web site. Now the only trims available are the 1SV and Preferred. The prices for these trims won't change for next year, either. The Encore will start at $24,195 after a $995 destination charge, and now topping out at $26,215 for the all-wheel drive Preferred model. Previously, the Essence AWD established the top of the hill at $31,795. The move eliminates almost all of the MSRP overlap with the Encore GX, which ranges from $25,195 to $31,595. There will be less feature overlap, too. The now-dead Encore trims opened the door to proper luxury amenities like LED headlights, leather seats, dual-zone climate control, and an auto dimming rear-view mirror. The amenities available on the Preferred are limited to floor mats and accessories, save for the $495 Safety Package that adds Rear Cross Traffic Alert and Side Blind Zone Alert, and the $300 Remote Start. The Encore GX comes in three trims, Preferred, Select, and Essence, and "Leather-appointed seating" doesn't appear until the top-dollar Essence trim for $29,495 in FWD fettle.  The closest the Encore and Encore GX will get to one another is in engine output. The smaller crossover comes only with a 1.4-liter turbocharged four-cylinder that makes 138 horsepower and 148 pound-feet of torque. The Encore GX offers two engines depending on powertrain. A 1.2-liter turbocharged three-cylinder with 137 hp and 166 lb-ft comes solely with front-wheel drive, and a 1.3-liter turbocharged three-cylinder with 155 hp and 174 lb-ft is available with either front- or all-wheel drive.

Buick confirms US-market Envision CUV to be built in China

Fri, Dec 4 2015

As expected, the Buick Envision will come to the US market in 2016, and as rumored, it'll be GM's first product imported from the People's Republic. Buick confirmed the news today, while also releasing a number of technical details on the mid-size CUV, which has sold nearly 130,000 units in the Chinese domestic market in the first 11 months of 2015. When it arrives in US dealers next summer, the Envision will feature a 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder EcoTec four-cylinder. Good for an estimated 252 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque, the four-pot turbo is paired to a well-received six-speed Hydra-Matic 6T70 transmission. That's the same automatic gearbox that's offered in the turbocharged Regal and Regal GS and the current six-cylinder LaCrosse. The entire affair is underpinned by torque-steer-fighting HiPer strut front suspension, a crossover first for Buick, with a four-link setup in back. According to Buick, the Envision will also get the same Active Twin Clutch all-wheel-drive system being offered on the Cadillac XT5 and the new LaCrosse. Like the Chinese-market Envision, Buick is offering the USDM model with active grille shutters, LED running lights, LED taillights, heated front/rear seats, a heated steering wheel, 19-inch wheels, and a Bose stereo as standard. Buick also lists highlights like Active Noise Cancellation and an eight-inch IntelliLink infotainment system, although it's not clear whether these are standard features. There's no word on which auto show the Envision will debut at. Considering the timing, next month's Detroit Auto Show is a strong contender, although if Buick wanted to really drum up headlines ahead of its on-sale date next summer, it'd formally introduce its newest CUV in April, at the New York Auto Show. Either way, expect to see more of this handsome, Chinese-built CUV soon.

It was awarded Motor Trend SUV of the Year in China and has 127,085 sales so far this year. When it goes on sale in 2016, it will play an important role in a crossover lineup that currently represents 60 percent of Buick sales in North America. It targets customers shopping between the Encore, the best-selling Buick in eight years, and the Enclave, which has continued to grow its customer base since its 2007 introduction.
