You are bidding on a 1998 Buick Century Custom (loaded), 4 door sedan.  The car has 50,350 original  miles, .

It has a 3.1 Liter Engine with Automatic Transmission,  28-30+ MPG highway, ALL Accessories work like new.

Car is all Power – Windows/Seats/ Door Locks.  SUNROOF, AC (perfect), Premium Radio System,

 Cruise  Control, Tilt Wheel, 2 working Remotes

I will describe the car as accurately as possible, both for the average buyer and also the best I can for any special enthusiast/collector. Someone looking for a creampuff.  My goal is to represent the car accurately.  Take time to read this whole description and as questions are asked I no doubt will make added comments in the last paragraph of the description as the auction week proceeds.   

Nothing is better than you actually seeing the car for yourself or to see it via a representative.  I am open to that option but will not be driving the car to any location or facility.

The car has been garaged its entire life.  The mock convertible type top is in excellent plus condition.

There are no dents or what can be considered scratches on the car.

I have had the car for the last 6 months, putting no miles on the car.  The car was my elderly father-in-law’s car, he has passed and gave me the car.  I simply am not driving the car and am in the process of downsizing the number of vehicles I own. The car has been garaged  its entire life, never driven in snow, I don’t think it hardly has ever been rained on over the years.

There is not one issue with the running or performance of this car.

Mechanical

I can provide you with the Ohio Emissions Certificate- Passed ( State of Ohio).

The tires are close to new, the brakes also have very little wear.  The car is very smooth and comfortable to drive.  

Accessories/Interior

Electrically, the car has Power door locks, windows, seats, side- view mirrors.  The  headlights have a sharp clear glass which is result of it being garaged. All Accessories work perfectly, as all other lights: tail, brake, turn-signal, hazard, dash, console, inside courtesy, underhood, side marker, outside courtesy etc.

The seats are a slate blue with a fleck in it with a soft but sturdy material (original).  The seats are supportive but at the same time comfortable, virtually new and the back seat has probably not been used more than a few dozen times.  There are no rips or tears or any signs of popped threads on the seats.

What is important to note is that the car has a bench seat with column shift.  This may seem dated a bit, but if you have a family or occasion to drive 6 people, it’s seat belted for Six !  Only 5 passengers ?, flip the Console down for the armrest and space.

 

Body/Paint/Wheels

The body has no dents, holes or damage to it. Nothing has been drilled or attached to the body.  No accidents to my knowledge, again it is original.

The paint condition overall is excellent.  The car is very appealing in its appearance, good gloss and for the general eye the usual comment is that it looks sharp.  Here is the most accurate description for blemishes, any discolorations etc. that I can note.  Driver’s side very bottom edge of front fender just in front of door/ driver side bottom edge, just in front of rear wheel had been touched up. Standing back 3 or 4 feet and it is not seen, you have to look for it.  where you like (garage etc.)  I didn’t post pictures with the top off, since I had no one available to help lift off the top.  It is advisable you always have someone to help , it is no problem at all (3-4 minutes) with a helper so you avoid scratching something.

The wheels are the factory original(steel) with the center Buick Emblem ( see pics).  They are clean and look  good.  

There are no secrets with the car and the absolute best is to see it for yourself or have a neutral representative evaluate the condition of the car for you.

 Some people would say you got to be kidding that you would even bother with these comments, the car’s just about 15 years old !, but I in the past have looked at cars for how perfect they could be and then deciding my level of acceptance.  To the best of my ability I will describe the car for what it is or what it is not.  The buyer is the final judge on whether it meets their expectations.

Nice part about the car is that is spacious, great to travel,  lots of Interior Room, big Trunk but is a notch down in size from the Buick LeSabre.  I would call it a larger Intermediate Size Car.

There’s the $2000 down for a lease and $200 a month for 2 years minimum – all Totals $6800 and you have nothing left after 2 years.  You could drive this for 2 years, 3 , 4, 5 and re-coup a fair market value back with normal care on the car all with reasonable expectation that it should remain trouble free for many, many miles.

 

SERIOUS INQUIRIES ONLY - PAYMENT includes the standard $300 (non-refundable) to Paypal within 48 hours of auction close.  Remaining balance due in Cash or a completed/verifiable transaction with Certified check before Car &Title exchange to buyer.

 

After payment conditions have been met, I would discuss ( no commitment/obligation) the idea of splitting the distance of car pick-up with buyer to a maximum of 300 miles ( 150 miles each person).  I am reserving the right to make final decision on any possibility at my convenience  and discretion, so assume in your bidding, all the arrangements/payments are your full responsibility.

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:

GM recalls 500K Chevy Camaros for ignition-switch defect

Fri, 13 Jun 2014

General Motors issued a recall for more than a half million Chevrolet Camaros on Friday morning because of an ignition-switch safety hazard that mirrors the one at the center of the company's current crisis.
The problem affects Camaro models from the 2010 to 2014 model years. Approximately 464,712 cars are impacted in the United States, and 511,528 overall in North America. GM will alter the Camaro key to a more standard design, and will notify car owners with a recall notice in the mail.
In an announcement, the company said the ignition switches on the Camaros are fundamentally different parts than the older ignition switches found on defective cars that are responsible for killing at least 13 people and causing 54 crashes.

2018 Buick Regal's base price is almost $2,500 cheaper than last year's

Wed, Jul 19 2017

Along with the launch of the Buick Regal GS, Buick released official pricing for all three versions of the Regal, and they're very competitively priced, especially the Sportback. The part-sedan, part-hatch Regal Sportback starts at just $25,915. That's more than $2,000 cheaper than the previous generation 2017 Buick Regal sedan, which started at $28,385. Along with the savings in cost comes a standard turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder making 250 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque - 295 pound-feet with optional all-wheel drive. That's a significant step up from the standard naturally aspirated engine in the previous-generation Regal that makes just 182 horsepower and 172 pound-feet of torque. The new Regal's hatch also provides more flexibility for loading cargo, and the cargo space expands from 14.2 cubic feet in the old model to 31.5. View 12 Photos The TourX wagon, or crossover depending on your opinion, comes with a $4,000 premium over the Sportback, with a base price of $29,995, matching what was revealed last month. It gains only about an extra cubic foot behind the rear seats, but with the seats folded, it has 73.5 cubic feet to play with. It also comes with standard all-wheel drive and the engine with 295 pound-feet of torque. Plus, it has the added ride height and plastic body cladding that gives it the same trendy look shared with the Subaru Outback, Volvo V60 Cross Country, and Audi A4 Allroad. It is a few thousand more than the Outback, but it undercuts the Volvo by roughly $10,000 and the Audi by almost $15,000. Then, for performance, there's the Regal GS. It starts at $39,990 and has a 310-horsepower V6 and standard all-wheel drive. It also features all of the versatility of the regular Regal Sportback. All-in-all, the Buick Regal line seems to pack a lot of value, at least on paper. Related Video:
