The 86 turbo regal I bought 15 years ago from a middle age couple who just drove it on the street till they had too many kids. It had 87k on it with 1 repaint. It was originally a white car and still is (black trim) white painted rear bumper, chrome front. Body is straight, no bondo and no rust holes, some bubbling starting in a couple of places down low just in the last 2 years. Couple of areas had paint chips that started some surface rust, and need repainted. See pics. I've never driven in on salt or snow, no winters at all. But we have wet ground 6 months out of the year, and it has sat out 1-2 winters on gravel. Needs front bumper fillers now, drivers seat has a spilt and needs headliner, analog dash. Couple minor bumps and a light crease in rt front fender. I think my son smacked the edge of the roof when he was an angry teen and put 2 smaller dents on the roofs edge.

After several inquiries about possible hidden rust, let me add more details to calm your concerns. This car is a rust-free car with NO bondo anywhere. I've owned hundreds of Indiana cars and several of these. I know the weak spots. That's why I have an extra pair of rust-free doors and trunklid, NOT selling with the car (unless winning bidder wants them) I bought this car in 97 with 94k miles on it and it was rock solid then with NO rust anywhere and a perfect body and had been repainted a few years earlier (nice original white paint again) likely due to the clearcoat peeling as that was common on mid-80's cars. I've been thru EVERY inch of this car over all the years I've owned it and never saw 1 sign it was ever wrecked or had any bondo anywhere (thus the clearcoat theory) I'm a BIG car guy and know cars and paint and rusted car issues. I drove it on the street the first few years (weather permitting) but never in the winter so it has NOT seen snow, salt since I've owned it. I garaged it every winter (and many summers until 2 years ago. The body was perfect then and only developed a couple of bubbling spots over the past 2 years from sitting outside with a cover over it (not fastened to the ground so air could get under it) on gravel. Two spots of paint bubbling emerged last year the size of a quarter at the bottom of the left quarter, but you can access the back side of those areas from the wheelhouse and see there is no rust emerging from the backside. I've seen bubbling like this before from poor adhesion of the primer. The frame is rustfree and perfect. The trunk is also rustfree and perfect everwhere (looks practically new). The floorboards seem perfect but the passenger side front is getting weak from a leaky window or windshield and dampness under the carpet (never did see exactly where the trouble was. From 99 on it's just seen occasional track action. The doors are solid on the bottom edge where they normally rust out. The trunk lid is solid along the bottom inside edge where they rust out. Both are starting to get some rust stains emerging from the welds at the bottom inside seams and will only get worse if not garaged, thus the reason for selling. The car has a few dings and chips that have surface rust starting and needs garaged. My garage spaces are full of Mopars, 68 Camaro and 69 427 Vette so SOMETHINGS gotta give. I can't bear the thought of my beloved Turbo Regal rusting away outside another day. That's the ONLY reason I'm selling it. I don't need money. I HATE Indiana weather. I value my Ebay reputation tremendously as I sell often on here and have sold several cars and MANY motorcycles by giving accurate, detailed descriptions but avoid giving opinions, thus the flawless feedback score of many years and many transactions.. You will find nicer things about this car than you expected and some things not at nice. I try to describe as much as possible in order of importance with the limited time and space here, but can't describe every inch. Use the "ask seller a question" if I missed something important to you. Hope that helps.
On Mar-11-13 at 03:13:10 PDT, seller added the following information:
I have decided to include the extra R & L doors complete with glass and electric window motors and mirrors. They are rustfree and straight. Also included with sale is a rustfree trunklid with center section of the GN spoiler. Also included is a pair of rustfree front fenders, a perfect grill, a GN front bumper(lighttweight aluminum brace) a perfect hood insulator and some other misc parts.

2013 Opel Cascada
Tue, 24 Sep 2013The Future Buick Verano Convertible?
I wasn't wearing a pedometer while in Germany covering the Frankfurt Motor Show this year, but it's safe to say I walked more than a few miles between press conferences, shooting cars and trekking back to the media center on the first day alone. For this reason, it didn't take much convincing from General Motors for me to duck out of the Messe a day early and drive some of its latest Opel models. No, this didn't include the all-new Country Tourer, but I was able to drive the Opel Mokka (our Buick Encore), the Opel Adam and the Opel Cascada.
I focused most of my driving time behind the wheel of the Cascada, which went on sale in Europe earlier this year, since rumors are swirling that a Buick version of this convertible "could happen soon." Buick hasn't had a convertible since the Reatta, and GM has been lacking a non-performance, budget-minded convertible since the Pontiac brand - and its G6 - was dropped, so adding the Cascada to Buick showrooms could further help the reemerging brand compete in the near-luxury segment. Although the weather was too chilly (and occasionally rainy) to enjoy the Cascada with its top down for very long, I was able to clock a fair bit of drive time behind the wheel on roads ranging from the autobahn to tight roads in small, quaint villages.
2021 Buick Envision fuel economy revealed
Mon, Sep 28 2020Despite being revealed a few months ago, the 2021 Buick Envision has been lacking in in-depth details. But thanks to the EPA, we have a bit more information on the luxury crossover, specifically fuel economy. And it seems the new model is significantly more efficient than its predecessor. The only powertrain combination we have numbers for at the moment is the turbocharged engine with all-wheel drive. The Envision is expected to have a front-wheel-drive version, too, though an example with the old model's naturally aspirated four-cylinder is probably long gone. As for the turbo, all-wheel-drive Envision, it will get 22 mpg in the city, 29 on the highway, and 25 combined. That's the exact same as the old naturally aspirated, front-drive Envision, and it's an improvement of 2 mpg in town, 4 on the highway and 3 in combined driving over the previous turbo, all-wheel-drive version. As an extra bonus, the EPA notes that the new turbo Envision runs on regular gasoline, rather than premium like the old Envision. So not only will it use less gas, what it uses costs less. We're expecting the new Envision to go on sale early next year. While we know that the Envision will have a turbocharged engine, and the naturally aspirated one is probably discontinued, we don't know which engine it is. It could be an updated version of the old engine, which made 252 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque, or it could be the engine from the Cadillac XT4, which makes 230 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque. The latter seems more likely, since the XT4 gets similar fuel economy. A nine-speed automatic and front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive are also planned for the crossover. Related Video:
GM to offer U.S. Buick dealers buyouts
Sat, Sep 3 2022General Motors Co said Friday it will offer all of its estimated 2,000 U.S. Buick franchise dealers buyouts as it moves to make the brand all-electric by 2030 in the United States. The Wall Street Journal reported the news earlier, quoting Global Buick chief Duncan Aldred who is set to discuss the plans with dealers Friday in a virtual meeting. He noted shifting to EVs will require significant investments by Buick dealers. "So if they want to exit the Buick franchise, then we will give them monetary assistance to do so," Aldred told the newspaper. Buick said in June it plans to introduce its first EV in 2024, but did not provide specifics. "The future dealer requirements are a logical and necessary next step on our path towards electrification to ensure our dealers are prepared to properly sell and service these unique vehicles," a GM spokeswoman told Reuters Friday. Last year, GM's Cadillac brand said it had thinned its dealer network as it shifts to EVs, saying it has nearly 40% fewer U.S. dealers than in 2018. GM booked a total of $274 million in costs during 2020 and 2021 related to the effort to buy out Cadillac dealers who were not prepared to invest $200,000 to $500,000 per store in the equipment and training to support the brand's shift to an all-electric vehicle lineup, planned by 2030. Buick traces its roots back nearly 120 years — five years before GM's 1908 founding — to an era when electric cars briefly outsold gasoline models in the United States. All Buicks sold back then were gasoline-powered. Future Buick electric vehicles in the United States and China will carry the Electra name, which dates back more than 60 years, along with an alphanumeric designator.
