Station Wagon Strong Running Lti Towing Package Winter Rims Tires No Reserve on 2040-cars

Year:1996 Mileage:178562
Location:

Barrie, Ontario, Canada

Barrie, Ontario, Canada

NO RESERVE AUCTION! Selling my 1996 Buick Roadmaster Station Wagon with 178,562 MILES, originally from Pennsylvania. Great running LT1 engine (no smoke or substantial leaks, never have to top up the oil), no transmission leaks, shifts flawlessly, well maintained and mechanically sound, this car drives beautifully. Body is fair and it needs exhaust work but the tires are nearly new and the brakes were done not long ago. Other flaws include a driver's side broken mirror assembly, the power antenna no longer works (still receives local FM stations), cassette player has issues, passenger side rear window comes off the track, the power tailgate window release works when it feels like it and the A/C no longer blows cold. The interior is in very nice shape for its age, no tears or holes in the leather and it has the 3rd seat in back. This wagon has the optional towing package with transmission cooler, heavy duty brakes and radiator, all season radials with less than 5,000 miles on them. Also included are winter rims and tires with lots of tread left, original full size spare and jack. Clear title, Ontario seller's package and service records since I bought the car 8 years ago come with the car.

For a nominal investment, this great wagon has lots of life left. It needs some body work, mainly on the passenger side rear quarter and I got an estimate of about $1,500 (parts and labor) to replace the dual exhaust. The driver side rear view mirror assembly also has to be replaced, currently it's being held in place with tape. Some rust is showing under the driver side carpet but the floor seems solid. Please email any questions or call me at 705-790-4004 for questions or to arrange a test drive before bidding. 

THIS IS A NO RESERVE AUCTION AND THIS WAGON IS BEING SOLD AS IS, WINNING BIDDER OWNS IT! NON REFUNDABLE DEPOSIT OF $200.00 US VIA PAYPAL IS DUE WITHIN 48 HOURS OF AUCTION'S END WITH REMAINDER TO BE PAID BY PAYPAL MONEY ORDER OR US CASH AND VEHICLE PICKED UP WITHIN 7 DAYS OF AUCTION'S END. IF YOU DO NOT HAVE THE FUNDS, PLEASE DO NOT BID. ASK ALL QUESTIONS AND/OR ARRANGE TO VIEW AND DRIVE THIS CAR BEFORE YOU BID!

eBay Find Of The Day: 1946 Tucker Torpedo Prototype II hides a secret Riviera

Thu, 10 Jul 2014

The Tucker Torpedo is one of the great what-if stories of automotive history. Preston Tucker hoped to revolutionize the industry with a car unlike any other on the road at the time. However, due to a variety of problems, he only managed build 51 vehicles before closing shop. Over time, they have become highly sought-after; In 2012, one sold for $2.65 million at auction.
That brings us to this Tucker "replica" that you see above because it might be one of the ugliest monstrosities ever put together. However, we might extend some leniency to the creator, as the vehicle isn't actually trying to replicate the classic look of the 1948 Tucker Torpedo. Instead, it is attempting to reproduce an earlier prototype from 1946 that actually features that weird, trident nose. According to the seller, his uncle built the car as a labor of love and supposedly used actual plans from Tucker as inspiration.
Underneath all of the crazy changes is a 1971 Buick Riviera powered by a 455-cubic-inch (7.5-liter) Buick V8. Some of the replica's odder modifications include the front fenders that turn with the wheels and the fin running down the back. All three headlights work, but the one in the middle is only for the high beams. Oddly, the small hinged sections on the roof are meant to open to avoid hitting your head when getting in or out. Maybe the seller's uncle was a very tall guy?

Buick Envision cabin detailed ahead of reveal later this month

Sun, 17 Aug 2014

Buick 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.

2014 Buick Regal GS AWD

Thu, 27 Feb 2014

"This is just silly," I said as I laughed my way sideways around the icy track at Circuit ICAR, a racecourse, drag strip and kart track at the Montreal-Mirabel International Airport in Quebec. It wasn't the activity that had me cracking up, though. After all, winter driving experiences aren't uncommon in this business.
No, in this particular case, it was the car that had me chuckling. I wasn't in a mad hot hatch or a rally-derived rocket - I was in a Buick. The 2014 Regal GS, to be more precise. Somehow, despite its recent product renaissance (not to mention its distant - yet storied - history of performance models), I was having a hard time believing that this attractive, turbocharged, all-wheel-drive sedan sliding around the Great White North could possibly be wearing a Tri-Shield badge on its nose.
But it was, and slide about it did. While having access to a vehicle in this setting is fairly rare, what's rarer is the fact that I've had so much exposure to it. In Mr. Ewing's recent Volkswagen Golf R drive story, for instance, his ice capades were his first experience with the new model. In my case, though, I was lucky enough to first test the refreshed Regal GS for a week back in December before flying to Quebec to drive it on the snowy, icy, winding roads of Canada's most fiercely independent province and on the track at Mirabel.
