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.

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.

Buick Envision cabin detailed ahead of reveal later this month
Sun, 17 Aug 2014Buick teased the arrival of the China-market Envision last month and gave us a few specs, now it's teasing the midsize crossover's interior and features. Having said it will "set a new benchmark in terms of space, safety, performance and specifications," we're told that equipment like the heated leather steering wheel and Bose-sourced active noise cancellation are market firsts in the segment.
Elsewhere, light will shine on occupants through the panoramic roof during the day and via ice blue ambient lighting at night, and seating surfaces are being shown off with dual-stitched leather. Lane departure warning and parking assist help keep the bodywork in order, stop/start ignition fitted to the 2.0-liter turbo four-cylinder with 256 horsepower and 260 pound-feet will help keep fuel economy up. One more convenience for the model's core buyers: a tailgate that can be partially opened.
The Normal, Tour, Sport and Off-Road driving modes come courtesy of FlexRide, that last one - meant for extra-light-duty dirt work, naturally - appearing on a Buick for the first time.
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.
GM won't really kill off the Chevy Volt and Cadillac CT6, will it?
Fri, Jul 21 2017General Motors is apparently considering killing off six slow-selling models by 2020, according to Reuters. But is that really likely? The news is mentioned in a story where UAW president Dennis Williams notes that slumping US car sales could threaten jobs at low-volume factories. Still, we're skeptical that GM is really serious about killing those cars. Reuters specifically calls out the Buick LaCrosse, Cadillac CT6, Cadillac XTS, Chevrolet Impala, Chevrolet Sonic, and the Chevrolet Volt. Most of these have been redesigned or refreshed within the past few model years. Four - the LaCrosse, Impala, CT6, and Volt - are built in the Hamtramck factory in Detroit. That plant has made only 35,000 cars this year - down 32 percent from 2016. A typical GM plant builds 200,000-300,000 vehicles a year. Of all the cars Williams listed, killing the XTS, Impala, and Sonic make the most sense. They're older and don't sell particularly well. On the other hand, axing the other three seems like an odd move. It would leave Buick and Cadillac without flagship sedans, at least until the rumored Cadillac CT8 arrives. The CT6 was a big investment for GM and backing out after just a few years would be a huge loss. It also uses GM's latest and best materials and technology, making us even more skeptical. The Volt is a hugely important car for Chevrolet, and supplementing it with a crossover makes more sense than replacing it with one. Offering one model with a range of powertrain variants like the Hyundai Ioniq and Toyota Prius might be another route GM could take. All six of these vehicles are sedans, Yes, crossover sales are booming, but there's still a huge market for cars. Backing away from these would be essentially giving up sales to competitors from around the globe. The UAW might simply be publicly pushing GM to move crossover production to Hamtramck to avoid closing the plant and laying off workers. Sales of passenger cars are down across both GM and the industry. Consolidating production in other plants and closing Hamtramck rather than having a single facility focus on sedans might make more sense from a business perspective. GM is also trying to reduce its unsold inventory, meaning current production may be slowed or halted while current cars move into customer hands. There's a lot of politics that goes into building a car. GM wants to do what makes the most sense from a business perspective, while the UAW doesn't workers to lose their jobs when a factory closes.
