95 woody station wagon 67k Limited Leather 3 seat 5.7L LT1 V8 No Reserve, image 1

For bid is a 1995 Buick Roadmaster Limited Estate Wagon with 67k miles.

Highlights: Tow package, 2.93 posi, Class 3 hitch with wiring, GM CD player. Limited package includes leather seats with power lumber and tilt. Good maintenance - recent full tuneup + new rear shocks + AC compressor and dryer. Only aftermarket parts are the hitch, Koni adjustable front shocks and brand new top quality tint.

History: I am the third owner; the first owners were snowbirds in Winter Haven FL. They sold the car in 2008 with 31k on it to a collector in the Atlanta, GA area who took great care of it and used it as his road trip car. He sold it to me in the fall of 2012 with 63k on it. He took meticulous care of it – stored in his garage, under a car cover, with the liftgate glass up to preserve the struts. At 40k he had a full tuneup done (optispark, plugs & wires, water pump), and had the AC compressor and dryer replaced at the GM dealer. He also had the rear air shocks replaced with GM factory airshocks and replaced the fronts with Koni adjustables so he could “get a slight amount more damping than stock but still match the rears.” The rear axle fluid and limited slip additive was also replaced at 40k and the transmission was flushed and filter changed at 50k.
I have put just shy of 4000 miles on the car, with the majority of that being several road trips. After I bought the car, it was driven to my western VA where I stored it about a year, then finally drove it to upstate NY where it spent one summer. Before the summer was over, I relocated to Huntsville, AL and had the car transported here. I drove the wagon up to a show in Louisville KY and unfortunately we got caught in the rain on the way home. Other than that the car hasn’t seen rain since I’ve had it. I added a Buick CD player which works great. I keep it stored in my climate-controlled garage with ethanol-free gas and take it out now and then to stretch its legs.
Maintenance-wise, I had the windows tinted to protect the interior using high quality stuff from Johnson Films, applied by the premier tinter in town who has done four of my other cars with no bubbles, fading or purpling. The rear window was done in one piece. I also changed the oil, greased the front suspension and had the car aligned. I also installed a new battery – if you notice, the original battery blanket is still in place. I searched 6 months before I bought this car. Please see all the pictures – it is one of the nicest you will find.

NO RESERVE.

Condition Report

ENGINE: Runs on all eight cylinders without smoking, missing or knocking. Engine runs at proper temperature. New battery & good charging system. Starts easy and runs strong.

TRANSMISSION: Performs beautifully. Engages gears quickly and shifts through all forward gears and reverse with good downshift and torque converter performance. Clean fluid with no burn odors.

EXTERIOR: Body: Body is in very nice shape with two small dimples on the hood and one behind the rear wheel on the bottom. Two minor scuffs on the right front and rear corners – see pics. No body rust ever. There was one accident report, in 1998, with a bicycle according to the previous owner. Very good body overall. Paint: Paint is nice and shiny everywhere. All original paint except a few touch up spots as pictured on hood. Above average. Wood: Upper wood trim is all original, the only peeling of note is on the front fender spears as pictured. The side panel fake wood is in excellent shape with one mar on the RR door and a small bubble just above the chrome on the RF door. Otherwise, very nice and above average - still shiny and clear with no significant sun fading. Other: Lower stainless bright trim is very nice with a couple of dings here and there. Rubber side trim is all there and all original. Undercarriage is extremely nice and all original, typical of a southeastern US / Florida car with very slight paint peeling on the fuel tank straps - see the pics. Underhood sheet metal, tailgate sill and door jambs have no rust as seen in pics. Aluminum wheels are in excellent shape.

INTERIOR: Interior of the car is in very nice shape as you'd expect of the low mileage. The only complaints are a small tear in the center console rear, a tiny tear on the passenger side seat control surround, and a small chip missing from the driver’s door panel handle insert (see pics). Dash has no cracks, rest of leather seating areas are in great shape, cargo deck carpet in great shape with no stains but the very edge corner is cracked. Steering wheel is in very nice shape and is original – no paint. Carpet is new and all four factory floormats are included. No smoke or pet odors. Very nice interior overall.

ELECTRICAL STUFF: All inspection items work (lights, horn, wipers, etc.) ALL power options work reliably, including power windows, power locks, power seats with power recliners, lumbar motors work but don’t seem to adjust the lumbar, hot heat and cold A/C, tilt, cruise, am/fm stereo cassette CD, power antenna, rear window release, rear wiper, keyless entry, twilight sentinel, intermittent wipers, and rear defroster.

DRIVEABILITY: Drives beautifully as you'd expect of the low miles. Steering is tight, alignment is good, suspension is tight. Brakes work well with good linings. Tires have about 50% tread remaining on a matched set of General Altimax radials with the rears having a slight amount of inner edge wear (hence why I had an alignment done). Solid stock, quiet exhaust with no leaks. Check engine light is not lit (except at start up as it should.)

I’ve had four Roadmaster wagons now, and this one is by far the nicest one I’ve ever owned and probably one of the nicest ones you’ll find. I would not hesitate to drive it across country tomorrow.

Short version terms: Small non-refundable deposit as listed (but fast) by Paypal within 24 hours. Balance due in 7 days by cash in person, wire transfer, or Wells Fargo cashier's check. Will meet you or your transporter at my location by appointment after 6 pm weekdays or anytime weekends. No administrative fee on this auction. Any other costs - tax, emissions inspection, registration, shipping, etc. are buyer's responsibility - see full terms. You have 30 days to pick up, otherwise your deposit is forfeited. WILL PICK YOU UP AT THE HUNTSVILLE, AL INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT weekday evenings or any time weekends. Inspections are strongly encouraged, but by appointment only - please email or call. By bidding, you agree you are satisfied with the item description. Note that pickup times are by appointment only also - just call! Prepaid vehicles scheduled for transport can be picked up any time with at least 24 business hours' notice - have your driver call me. I'm happy to drive the car to a nearby large parking lot for easier truck loading.

GM investing $167m in Spring Hill for new midsize vehicles

Tue, 06 Aug 2013

General Motors has announced a large investment in its Spring Hill, Tennessee facility. The former home of Saturn production will be getting a $167 million addition to a previously announced $183 million, to cover a pair of new midsize vehicles. The investment is expected to create 1,800 jobs at the factory.
That $350 million is being divvied up for a pair of programs at Spring Hill. The first will take the bulk of the money ($223 million) and create 1,000 of the 1,800 jobs, while the other will take the remaining $127 million and generate the leftover 800 positions. But GM says the investment will cover "midsize vehicle programs." So what could they be?
The leading candidate in our minds is a new crossover for Buick, called the Anthem, that will slot between the Encore and Enclave, but will be slightly smaller than the Equinox and Terrain. As we've explained, the new model will likely be the first product to sport GM's new D2UX platform, which will eventually replace both the Delta and Theta platforms. Spring Hill is already building the Equinox, so there could be some credence to this theory.

Lutz dishes dirt on GM in latest Autoline Detroit

Bob Lutz sits down for Autoline Detroit - Click above to watch video after the jump
Autoline Detroit recently played host to Bob Lutz, and, as is always the case, the former General Motors vice chairman dished out some great commentary. Lutz was promoting his new book Car Guys vs. Bean Counters: The Battle for the Soul of American Business, and talk quickly turned to his role as it related to product development and high-level decision making at GM. While on the topic of brand management, Lutz revealed a few rather interesting tidbits about his former employer:
All Chevrolet vehicles were required to have five-spoke aluminum wheels and a chrome band up front, as part of the Bowtie brand's overall image.

GM puts e-commerce shopping in car dashboards

Tue, Dec 5 2017

DETROIT — General Motors on Tuesday said it will equip newer cars with in-dash e-commerce technology, betting it can profit as drivers order food, find fuel or reserve hotel rooms by tapping icons on the dashboard screen, instead of using smartphones while driving. GM's Marketplace technology, developed with IBM, will be uploaded automatically to about 1.9 million model-year 2017 and later vehicles starting immediately, with about 4 million vehicles across the Chevrolet, Buick, GMC and Cadillac brands equipped with the capability in the United States by the end of 2018, GM said. GM will get an undisclosed amount of revenue from merchants featured on its in-dash Marketplace, Santiago Chamorro, GM vice president for global connected customer experience, said during a briefing for reporters. Customers will not be charged for using the service or the data transmitted to and from the car while making transactions, he said. "This platform is financed by the merchants," Chamorro said. GM will get paid for placing a merchant's application on its screens, and "there's some level of revenue sharing" based on each transaction, he said. It is too soon to say how much revenue GM could realize from the Marketplace system, he said. The GM Marketplace will compete for customer clicks and revenue with hand-held smartphones, which offer a far richer array of applications than the GM system will at the outset. Amazon.com is partnering with other automakers, including Ford, to offer in-car e-commerce capability through Amazon's Alexa personal assistant system. For example, GM will launch Marketplace with just Shell and Exxon Mobil icons in the fuel category. The only restaurant available for in-car table reservations at launch is the chain TGI Fridays, GM said. In addition, there will be apps for parking, and ordering ahead at coffee shops and restaurants such as Starbucks, Dunkin' Donuts and Applebee's. "We will be adding more vendors," with some coming in the first quarter of 2018, Chamorro said. In addition, he said GM plans to expand integration into its vehicles of music, news and other information services. GM also hopes to use its in-car Marketplace connections to expand purchases of products and services, such as additional access to in-car wifi, from its own replacement parts business and dealer network. Customers can "expect to see more service promotions coming through the platform," Chamorro said. Reporting by Joe WhiteRelated Video:
