1996 Buick Roadmaster Estate Wagon Collector's Edition-Very Nice Condition - Low Mileage 

One-family owned, beautiful condition 1996 Buick Roadmaster Estate Wagon Collector's Edition.  This is the last of the full-sized, rear wheel drive, station wagons, and Buick did it up right with the 1996 Collector Edition which is today highly regarded and becoming quite rare to find in nice condition with low mileage.  There is a lot of information online about this special car and all the features it has  – so I will touch on what I think are the important things for you to know.   

This vehicle has been well cared for, always garaged and recently serviced. Everything works (i.e.: AC, windows, original Concert Sound radio & power antenna, and power seats, ETC).  It is in excellent condition inside and out. The interior, including the leather seats, is just about perfect. The only exterior blemishes are a small dent in the hood (hard to photograph) and some minor “Di-noc” wood grain issues (see photos). The paint is shiny and new looking and there is absolutely no rust. All side moldings are in great shape and firmly attached. All chrome is very nice. The front and rear bumpers have minimal scratches in the paint. The doors have no (that I can see) parking lot dings. The undercarriage is clean with no rust. The vehicle has the Corvette LT 1, 5.7-liter engine with dual exhaust and gives excellent mileage (18 city-27 hwy).

The Roadmaster is fully loaded with all the Collector Edition factory options—from automatic driving lights, leather covered steering wheel, PosiTraction, power everything, down to the wire wheels. All tires are in excellent condition including the full size spare tire. This car drives great, is very quiet, has great power and acceleration, and is super comfortable.

With a trailer hitch, this car is rated to tow 7000lbs.  The Roadmaster has recently passed the Connecticut State Emission Test. 

You are welcome to inspect this Roadmaster or call to ask any questions. Please give me a call to arrange a time to view this car – you can also use the eBay Message System – I am usually quite prompt with replies.

The winning bidder will receive a clean Connecticut Title and Bill of Sale.  This car is for local pickup, or I can assist with loading onto a commercial car carrier.

Thanks,

Bob  (Phone 860-535-0242)

Note: The reserve price is very very low based what similar cars have sold for on eBay.  (Call I'll be glad to discuss it)

Buick begins offering 24-hour test drives

Mon, Jul 20 2015

Even as the year's sales charts show a decline, Buick says its brand image is improving. To bolster that soft metric while it works on overhauling its lineup - consumers are clamoring for more crossovers - the brand will begin offering overnight test drives as of July 23. Buick trialled the program in Phoenix and got a good response, so it rolls out as an ad-supported nationwide campaign called "24 Hours of Happiness" as of July 22. The push is on probation for three months while Buick evaluates it, but they expect it to continue beyond 90 days. Cars will be sourced from the loaner fleets that dealers offer customers whose cars are in for service, so only dealers with such fleets will be able to participate. General Motors did the same thing in 2003 and 2004, at the time saying it led to more than 500,000 "extended" test drives and close to 190,000 sales. That program had a cash component, in that buyers were offered $250 if they chose a non-GM vehicle after their test drive. 24 Hours of Happiness won't come with any inducements; Buick is taking the long view, positioning this as support for the brand instead of as bait for immediate returns. The Phoenix dealer who ran the program first said that it got fewer bites than he expected, but that customers who took a car home "were far more likely to buy the vehicle." Cue the Regal GS hooning in three, two... Related Video:

1969 Chevrolet Chevelle vs 1987 Buick GNX in Generation Gap showdown

Wed, 15 Oct 2014

Generation Gap generally tries to adhere to a theme for each episode, and for the final video from the Lingenfelter collection, the series might have its best idea yet - limited-production muscle cars from General Motors.
On one side you get a 1969 Chevrolet Chevelle COPO, and it's an absolute sleeper. Other than the SS wheels, this classic coupe looks practically bone stock, at least until the engine fires up. Under the hood is a 427-cubic-inch (7.0-liter) V8 making a claimed 425 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque. This was the sole year for the COPO package on the Chevelle, and Chevy only made about 323 of them.
The Chevelle's challenger is almost as rare and arguably just as cool. The 1987 Buick Grand National GNX looks just as mean today as when new. It eschews a traditional muscular V8 in favor of a 3.8-liter turbo V6 making a claimed 276 hp and 360 lb-ft, although that number is supposedly a bit underrated. Also, just 547 examples of the GNX version were ever built making it quite a collector's item too.

Watch this phantom Buick drive itself down the highway in a snow storm

Mon, 16 Dec 2013

Years ago, General Motors used Buick cars to test out the idea of a "smart highway" concept. More recently, GM has been talking up its award-winning Super Cruise semi-autonomous technology that will roll out with Cadillac and make its way to Buick. The LeSabre in the video above has nothing to do with any of that.
On Interstate 15 in Utah, a man driving this LeSabre got into an accident that rearranged the front end and set the horn on permanent blare. At the time of writing this, no one is sure what happened next, but the man ended up sitting in the snow in the highway median while his car carried on down the highway without him. Passing traffic stayed well to the right.
The 51-second video below provides a different take on our autonomous future. A local newscast on KUTV covered the story the evening of the incident, but the Utah Highway Patrol didn't have any update on the fate of the LeSabre. We'll take that to mean that Buick's take on Christine could still be out on the prowl... so watch out!
