********PLEASE NOTE THAT I WILL NOT ACCEPT PAYMENT VIA PAYPAL UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE********

Up for sale is a ONE OWNER (me) 1998 Buick Century Limited. That’s right, my name and address are the only ones that have ever graced the title of this car. It is finished in beautiful Jasper Green Metallic paint with sumptuous Taupe Leather interior. It has Only 47,772 original miles. You are reading that correctly – this car is a time warp that you do not see very often.

It is hard to believe I know, but this Buick has never been my primary mode of transportation. It has spent its entire life as a reserve vehicle for me and my family occasionally. I travel across the country on business for a living, and the trusty Buick has served as my airport car. I have owned higher caliber vehicles over the years that I simply was not comfortable leaving at the airport in Memphis, Nashville, or Little Rock (depending upon where I was flying out of). So the Buick served me well as a low profile car. I also attribute its ability to blend in anonymously with the fact that I have never received a ticket in it – despite its surprising knack for cruising at 85 comfortably for long periods of time. The Buick has also served as a car for our housekeeper to run errands in over the years as well.

My Buick is in exceptional condition inside and out for its age, and the pictures simply do not do it justice. I special ordered this car from the factory thru my family relationship with the owner of Jim Keras Buick in Memphis, TN with every available option except a sunroof.

I checked off the options sheet when I ordered my Buick with the: Popular Option Package; Premium Option Package; Body Side Stripes; Carpet Savers in front and rear; Electrochromic rearview mirror; Heated Body Color Exterior Mirrors; Cruise Control, Rear Window integrated Antenna; the Premium sound system; Jasper Green Metallic Paint, and Taupe Leather. These option packages entailed many niceties such as dual electronic climate control, dual power seats, cruise control, high-end Concert Sound II stereo system with CD player, a Tape player, and steering wheel controls as well. In addition it has anti-lock brakes, dual airbags, 4 wheel disc brakes, aluminum alloy wheels, automatic headlights and dimming interior courtesy lights.

My Buick has been thoroughly maintained throughout its entire life. Recently I serviced the car with a brand new battery, new starter, new water pump, new front & rear brakes, and the fluids were replaced as well. It runs great, idles superbly smooth, passes inspection, and sips gas. I have both keys, both keyless entry fobs, and even the valet key still.

My Buick has been garaged for all but 2 of its 16 year life span, and it has never seen snow. The car has never been smoked in, I can count on one hand how many times the back seat has had a passenger, and the trunk has never seen anything but a rolling bag.

Why am I selling it? Because my wife inherited her grandmother’s 2003 Lexus ES300 with low miles on it about 2 year ago. Therefore, the Lexus has taken the place of the Buick as our reserve/airport car. I simply have not had the time to fool with selling the Buick despite the occasional consideration to go to CarMax for an offer. Additionally, it’s been difficult to part with the Buick considering how well it has served us and the fact that I have owned it since ordering from the factory.

What’s wrong with it? A few things - mainly due to being kicked out of the third garage spot by the Lexus. There are typical bumps and scratches on the sides and bumpers due to airport parking garages over the years, but it still presents very well do to its extensive years of being under cover. A tree limb fell during a storm last year and dented the driver door and the hood (as you can see in the pictures). The interior rear view mirror has developed some cloudiness that I can only attribute to the sun. The screen for the automatic climate control does not display anything, but all functions still work correctly (this is very strange to me and I wonder if regular use would “wake” the screen back up). There seems to be a coolant leak, but the origin is unknown. My yard man thinks it’s probably just an old radiator hose or even a worn out radiator cap. The car still runs just fine though.

Thank you for looking at my car. It is truly is an exceptional example of the Buick Century mark, and its new owner will understand immediately just how well it has been cared for. I welcome any questions you may have and sincerely appreciate your consideration in viewing my advertisement.

GM recalling 8.4M cars, 8.2M related to ignition problems

Mon, 30 Jun 2014

General Motors today announced a truly massive recall covering some 8.4 million vehicles in North America. Most significantly, 8.2 million examples of the affected vehicles are being called back due to "unintended ignition key rotation," though GM spokesperson Alan Adler tells Autoblog that this issue is not like the infamous Chevy Cobalt ignition switch fiasco.
For the sake of perspective, translated to US population, this total recall figure would equal a car for each resident of New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Montana, Delaware, South Dakota, Alaska, North Dakota, the District of Columbia, Vermont and Wyoming. Combined. Here's how it all breaks down:
7,610,862 vehicles in North America being recalled for unintended ignition key rotation. 6,805,679 are in the United States.

Junkyard Gem: 1988 Buick LeSabre Custom Sedan

Sun, Aug 14 2022

The General's Buick Division began selling LeSabres for the 1959 model year, when it greeted the world with a cat-eyed face and razor-sharp tailfins, and the LeSabre rolled on the full-sized, rear-wheel-drive B Platform (best-known for underpinning the Chevrolet Impala and Caprice) all the way through 1985. For 1986, the LeSabre went to the front-wheel-drive H Platform, shedding a few hundred pounds and a half-foot of wheelbase, yet gaining interior room in the process. After that, every LeSabre ever made had a V6 engine driving the front wheels, all the way to the end in 2005. Here's one of those early H-Body LeSabres, found in a Denver-area self-service yard in incredibly clean condition. Some Buicks and Oldsmobiles of the mid-to-late 1980s (the ones on brand-new platforms) had six-digit odometers, which is the reason I was able to see that a discarded '86 Olds Calais with crazy customizing touches had better than 360,000 miles on the clock. This car justÂ barely squeezed past 100,000 miles … and that's a higher number than I expected to see after glancing at the body and interior. JustÂ look at that upholstery! There are no rips, and the only stains appear to have occurred after arrival in the junkyard ecosystem. I think we're looking at a one-owner car that was given meticulous care and was driven only to (a nearby) church on Sundays. Though the HRC sticker and Autobot badge seem out of place on an original-owner Buick that rolled out of the showroom 34 years ago. Perhaps the car was handed down from Owner #1 to a grandchild. This is the most high-zoot radio Buick would sell you in a 1988 LeSabre, complete with Dolby, auto-reverse cassette player, and scan/seek modes on the radio. The price tag on this? 282 bucks, or about 720 inflation-shrunk frogskins today; not cheap, but necessary to do justice to the hit songs of the day. If you wanted a factory CD player in a new LeSabre, you had to wait another year or two. Pollard Brothers Motors is still around, on the other side of the Continental Divide from the Denver region. Power came from an EFI-equipped Buick 3.8-liter V6, rated at 150 horsepower. The only transmission available was a four-speed automatic. Except for some dents that almost certainly happened at the junkyard, the paint and body look gorgeous. Problem is, H-Body LeSabres don't have an enthusiast following, and car shoppers looking for daily drivers tend to shy away from sedans this old.

GM China President says automaker could export vehicles from China to US

Sat, 20 Apr 2013

At a press conference on Saturday at the Shanghai Motor Show, General Motors announced plans to further expand its presence in the Chinese market. Among those commitments are plans to build four new plants by the end of 2015, giving the automaker the capacity to produce around five million vehicles a year in the country.
In order to make the most of that expansion, GM is adding 400 dealerships in China this year alone (for a total of 4,200 sales points), and it's eyeing 5,100 dealers by 2015. Yet not all of that production will stay in China - GM is planning to increase exports as well. Officials estimate the company will export somewhere between 100,000 and 130,000 Chinese-built vehicles this year - a record. And it's gunning for more.
Autoblog asked GM China president Bob Socia (above) if that means the company might eventually export new vehicles built in China to the United States, and he responded:
