Here is a great car that is in excellent shape.It has had one recent professional repaint on a body that had NO rust or damage.The paint is slick and smooth- base coat/clear coat.The Buick spent most of it's life in a garage with a car cover on it and it shows.The interior is not faded anywhere nor are the plastic panels brittle in any way.The list of recent improvements is as follows.....New headliner with side panels,front and rear calipers,front and rear brakes including the rubber lines and rotors,130 amp alternater,timing chain kit,oil pan gasket,oil sending unit,water pump,all hoses and drive belt,driver's window motor,power antennae,factory rebuilt digital dash,transmission has been power flushed and a tranny cooler was installed,4 wheel alignment and recent tune-up including all filters,plugs and wires. THE CYLINDER HEADS WERE RECENTLY REMOVED--LAST MONTH-- AND A THREE ANGLE VALVE JOB WAS PERFORMED AT POWER-TECH MACHINE SHOP, ONE OF THE FINEST AROUND!!! THE HEADS WERE MILLED 20 THOUSANDTHS ,SO COMPRESSION WAS INCREASED FROM 8.5 FACTORY RATING TO 8.9 TO ONE----- THIS CAR IS REALLY POWERFULL.!!!!!!! ALL NEW SEALS AND FREEZE PLUGS.THE CYLINDER WALLS WERE WELL WITHIN SPECS, ALMOST NO WEAR AT ALL !!!!! I noticed a small anti-freeze leak around the intake when i fired it up for the spring so off with the heads!!! --- gasket deterioration. Now it runs better than it ever has. New front struts and rear load leveling air shocks.It has LEGAL 20% window tint all around.The man I purchased it from always used Mobile One synthetic oil in it and so have I.Now for the real goodies!!!!!!! It has Excalibur 20" wheels with LIKE NEW Toyo Pro XES4 - tires.size 225/35zr2090w-there is 90% tread remaining on them.This combo was over 2 grand. It rides really smooth and floats down the highway at 80 MPH with no problem at all.Shifts are smooth as silk and the legendary 3800 series 1 engine is quiet and powerfull. The sound system is VERY LOUD AND CLEAR,all professional equipment purchased and installed by a local stereo shop with no corners cut and all monster cables.Panasonic cq7413u CD player with remote and IPOD compatible-it's 50 watts X 4 by itself,with 2 Alpine 6x9-3 ways are in the rear package tray 2,Alpine 6& one half -two ways are hidden in the doors.Now for the real power-----a Kicker KX 350 x 2 amp is mounted on top of a Kicker boom box housing two Kicker 12" comp subs.The box carpet matches the trunk carpet---it looks great and sounds AWESOME!!!!!!! The clarity is amazing. The sound system was over 1.500 bucks.If you don"t like the 20's,I have a complete set of aluminum factory 16" Riviera wheels that came off a '95 and all the lug nuts--NO TIRES ON THESE WHEELS.So you have a choice in wheels.That's about all I can think of although I'm sure there are things I left out about the car.EVERYTHING WORKS as it should and the air conditioning will freeze you out. NO rattles,shakes or shimmies,air leaks nor anything else obsene.This is a wonderfull car that gets LOTS of attention everywhere I have taken it,even when you aren't shaking windows for three blocks with the stereo blasting .Gas mileage is over 32 on the highway and 26 plus in town.My reserve is well below the money tied up in the car,so bid with confidence.This would make a GREAT car for anyone.Feel free to call me @ 606-473-0320 if you have any questions,I'll be happy to answer them.My cell is 606-471-5283 but please try me at home first, I would be interested in a partial trade for a pre -1986 Celica or Supra GTS, automatic transmission only, hardtop in good condition. Not interested in convertibles. Buy something nice for yourself with that tax refund,this Riviera. It has been stored all winter and is ready for cruisin.Thanks for looking.

Texas sues GM, saying it tricked customers into sharing driving data sold to insurers
Wed, Aug 14 2024Texas filed a lawsuit Tuesday against GM over years of alleged abuse of customers' data and trust. New car owners were presented with a "confusing and highly misleading" process that was implied to be for their safety, but "was no more than a deceptively designed sales flow" that surrendered their data for GM to sell. The suit contends that at no point was selling driving data ever even suggested as a possibility, putting GM in violation of the state's consumer protection laws. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is seeking a jury trial and at least $10,000 per offense (every GM car sold in the state since 2015) and a hefty add-on of $250,000 in cases where the victim was over 65. Texas seems to be flying high after a recent $1.4 billion settlement from Meta over other privacy concerns. This may well be a way to solve any pending budgetary issues in the Lone Star State.
2021 Buick Encore sheds top two trims, offer only Base and Preferred
Fri, Aug 28 2020A 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.

Opel Insignia OPC Sports Tourer shows its fresh face ahead of Frankfurt debut
Thu, 22 Aug 2013Drive down the Autobahn and there's any number of vehicles likely to pass you, and most of them are produced locally. But if you're wondering how that Opel left you in its dust, look closely (and quickly) enough and you might make out the letters OPC on the back.
They stand for Opel Performance Center (the German counterpart to Vauxhall's VXR line) and they adorn performance versions of the Corsa, Astra and Insignia. The latter is undergoing a bit of a refresh and is expected to debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show in a couple of weeks, but you don't have to wait that long as our intrepid spy photographers have caught it in the flesh outside an Opel facility in Germany.
Spied here completely undisguised in Sports Tourer (read: wagon) form, the Insignia has had a few nips and tucks performed, but we'll be more intrigued to see what it's got under the hood. The current model packs a 2.8-liter twin-turbo V6 driving 325 horsepower to all four wheels, but rumors suggest that the OPC (yeah you know me!) could have as much as 400 hp up its sleeve. That would make this one heck of a sleeper - especially in wagon form - and only make us pine for a more potent version of its twin Buick Regal to roam our highways, too.
