Absolutely the best car I have ever owned. I bought this car in 2002 with 73,000 miles on it. It has been a great driver with low maintenance costs. I have too many cars with another on the way. I need to make room. The local Recycle Yard will give me $400 for the car.
Interested ??? Send me a message and I'll post more pics and details.
Ok, Roadie fans. Messages received, more info...
Engine - Runs great. Quiet, no leaks. It's the 5.7 throttle body engine... very reliable (more so, than the LT1).
Transmission - Shifts fine, no leaks. It's the 4L60. The lock-up torque converter began to shudder a few thousand miles ago. I disconnected it.
Rear axle - No issues.
I installed a Class 3 hitch and an electric Brake Controller many years ago before I bought my Chevy Suburban. I towed a car trailer maybe a dozen times or so.
Power EVERYTHING on this car WORKS........Windows, Locks, Mirrors, Seats, Cruise, Trunk Release........even the Power Antenna.
Heat is HOT.........AC is COLD.
I've stayed with UNIROYAL tires... same as the factory. I don't think the spare tire has ever been on the ground.
........before I forget... I have ALL the side moldings from car. They are cleaned up and I have a roll of 3M tape to reinstall.
I will post more PICS as soon as possible.
What would make me give up my Roadie.........a pampered 2004 Buick Park Avenue from my older Brother. Love my Buicks.

After 21 years, the paint is going away. The right rear quarter panel has rust issues. The power antenna water drains here... so, what a surprise. Just recently, the paint on the hood has started to peel.
05-23-13 Interior pics added.......
Interior - The factory velour interior is very soft. It does need a good cleaning. There are no rips, tears or holes in the seats... only light wear. The material around the rear glass is deteriorating from sunlight and moisture. I think the rear glass needs to be resealed.
Trunk - Water leaks into the trunk. I think it is from around the rear glass. Note the rust spots in the trunk pic. When I first noticed water in the trunk, I took out the trunk liner and spare cover. They are in great shape. I never got around to fixing the leak.
Also included with the car is the GM Service Manual.
Thanks for looking.

GM recalling 2013 Buick LaCrosse, Cadillac SRX over transmission software
Thu, 21 Mar 2013The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued recalls for the 2013 Buick LaCrosse and 2013 Cadillac SRX due to a problem with the software for the transmission controller. On about 27,000 SRX and LaCrosse models, the transmission could accidentally be shifted to Sport mode, which would reduce the amount of engine braking drivers experience.
NHTSA says this could increase the risk of a crash, but, fortunately, the required fix is simply an update to the software.
While we're on the subject of General Motors vehicle recalls, a small number (48) of compressed natural gas versions of the 2011 Chevrolet Express are also being recalled for a potential risk of fire or explosion. Yikes. Both official recall notices are posted below.
First 2013 Buick Encore TV ad features... dinosaurs
Thu, 14 Mar 2013The whole "SUVs as dinosaurs" trope has become something of a threadbare cliché among auto writers, but that doesn't mean the wider world of consumers has caught on to the Jurassic nature of our line of thinking. That's what General Motors appears to be betting on, at least. Just check out Buick's first television spot for its 2013 Encore, the tiny crossover that is pushing the Tri-Shield into territories unknown while looking to outrun the brand's reputation as a refuge for elderly clientele.
Set to air this weekend on ESPN during the NCAA college basketball tournament, the ad plays up the Encore's maneuverability and surprising interior space by setting the baby Buick amongst a herd of lumbering CG dinosaurs created by Tippett Studio, the folks behind Hollywood blockbusters like Jurassic Park, Ted, and the Twilight series of films.
We can't help but snigger a little - while the Encore is indeed surprisingly roomy, nimble, and composed, our first drive found it to be glacially slow, too... not unlike a certain prehistoric race of animals. Check out the commercial below and judge for yourself.
General Motors shaking up its marketing... again
Wed, 13 Mar 2013One of the things that dogs the full comeback of General Motors is the instability of its marketing. That part of the automaker got yet another big shakeup today when GM confirmed what I have been tweeting for a few days - strong rumors that the Chevrolet and Cadillac ad accounts are walking to new ad agencies.
Cadillac, GM's luxury brand, is going into review from Fallon Worldwide, Minneapolis and the indications are that Campbell-Ewald, Chevy's old ad shop, will end up with most or all of it. C-E just announced that it was moving from its long-time home in Warren, MI to a new downtown Detroit office next to Ford Field, just blocks from GM.
The other shoe to drop shortly will be the shift of GM's most important brand, Chevy, from Goodby, Silverstein & Partners of San Francisco to McCann-Erickson of Troy, MI. McCann used to be the agency for Buick and GMC, as well as GM's corporate advertising, and has retained some pieces of business over the last few years. Sources have even told us that it was McCann that did a lot of the creative work on Chevy's new ad platform, Find New Roads. (Not to be confused with a former McCann tagline for Saab, "Find Your Own Road.")
