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 announces six new recalls, covering 3.5 million vehicles
Mon, 16 Jun 2014General Motors has just initiated another crushingly large recall, this time affecting some 3.36 million vehicles built between 2000 and 2014 and sold in the US, Canada and Mexico. Once again, the issue surrounds the cars' ignition switches, which can be kicked out of the run position if they're carrying extra weight or if they experience a "jarring" event. In this particular case, though, GM will modify the keys, rather than the ignition itself.
A four-by-six-millimeter hole will be drilled into the key, which will more safely accommodate the weight of the key ring. As is usually the case, the work will be done free of charge. The recalled vehicles include the 2000 to 2005 Cadillac Deville, 2004 to 2005 Buick Regal LS and GS, 2004 to 2011 Cadillac DTS, 2005 to 2009 Buick Lacrosse, 2006 to 2008 Chevrolet Monte Carlo, 2006 to 2011 Buick Lucerne and 2006 to 2014 Chevrolet Impala. Only the Impala is still in production, and even then, it's only sold to fleet companies.
According to an official statement from GM, there have been eight crashes and six injuries due to this latest issue. As if this isn't a dire enough blow for GM, the company has announced five smaller recalls, covering 165,000 vehicles.
Junkyard Gem: 1962 Buick LeSabre 2-Door Sport Coupe
Sat, Jan 29 2022American car shoppers looking for a full-sized hardtop coupe in 1962 couldn't go wrong with the offerings from The General. Chevrolet would sell you a snazzy new Bel Air sport coupe for just $2,561 (about $23,800 today), but those Joneses next door wouldn't have felt properly shamed if you put a new proletariat-grade Chevy in your driveway. No, to really stand tall during the era of Alfred Sloan's Ladder of Success, you had to go higher up on the GM food chain. For the B-platform full-sized cars of 1962, that meant the Pontiac Catalina/Bonneville beat the Chevy, the Oldsmobile 88 was the next step up the ladder, and at the very top was the Buick: the hot-rod Invicta and its swanky LeSabre sibling. To go beyond that, you had to move up to a C-platform Buick Electra or Cadillac. Today's Junkyard Gem is a once-luxurious '62 LeSabre, now much-faded in a northeastern Colorado boneyard. The reason GM shoppers got so bent out of shape about the "Chevymobile" episodes of the late 1970s, in which some GM cars received engines made by "lesser" GM divisions, was that each division had its own family of V8 engines during the 1950s and 1960s and they weren't supposed to be mingled. The '62 LeSabre got a 401-cubic-inch (6.5-liter) Nailhead engine (so called because the valves were unusually small), rated at 265, 280, or 325 (depending on what kind of compression ratio and carburetion you wanted). That's not crazy horses for a big-displacement, two-ton luxury coupe of its era, but the small valves allowed for combustion chambers optimized for one thing: low-rpm torque. This 401 has the two-barrel carburetor, so it made either 412 or 425 pound-feet of torque. That's just a bit less than the mighty Cadillac's engine that year, and definitely sufficient to get this car moving very quickly. You had to pay a fat premium on the Chevrolet, Pontiac, and Oldsmobile B-bodies to get an automatic transmission (a three-speed column-shift manual was base equipment in those cars), but a Turbine-Drive (formerly known as the Dyna-Flow) automatic was standard issue on the 1962 LeSabre. This was an interesting transmission design that traced its origins back to the 1942 M18 Hellcat Tank Destroyer and used torque-converter multiplication to provide a CVT-like experience with no perceptible shifts (the driver could select a separate low gearset manually, so the shifter looks just like the one on the true two-speed Powerglide transmission).
eBay Find Of The Day: 1946 Tucker Torpedo Prototype II hides a secret Riviera
Thu, 10 Jul 2014The 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?
