 This is a nice Buick Electra that is basically a one owner.  I got it from the gentleman's estate that purchased this car new in 1979.  I've driven it some recently basically taking my kids for a ride.  My kids are little and they like riding in a car that actually has some room in the back seat.

The good stuff:  From what I can tell the car has been taken care of over the years.  It runs and drives without any issues.  The interior is  in good shape with no tears/rips or discoloration besides the issue noted below with the dash. 

The bad stuff:  The car was wrecked in the front left corner.  The quarter panel, bumper, light and grill are messed up.  On the dash  there is a small hole (can be seen in picture),  the bumper saver(?) is missing on passenger side back bumper.  Also under the top you can tell that there is rust under it, but I don't know the extent.  The A.C. runs with it blowing semi-cold air, but I believe it needs to be recharged.

I'm trying to point out as many issues that I've noticed as possible.  Overall it's a nice looking and driving car without any serious issues. 

In the pictures you can tell one of the rims doesn't match, but the matching rim is in the truck as the spare.

Someone did ask me about the clock to verify it was still running.  It does run, but I have not checked it for how accurate it keeps time.  They told me these cars sometimes have electrical problems and when the clock stops running is the first sign something is going bad.  I have no idea, but wanted to mention it. 

Just an FYI: I did have this listed on Craiglist for sometime a couple of weeks ago.  I had a number of people that were interested and stated they wanted it, but nobody ever showed up.  Since my experience with Craigslist was not positive I've decided to put it on eBay to sell.  I will not end the auction early and it will sell to the high bidder.

I will be unable a few days next week, but I will try to work with you if you want to come take a look at.  If you have any questions please let me know.   

Thank you

GM recalling 135,000 SUVs with plastic jacks that can break

Sat, Jun 19 2021

General Motors is recalling 135,400 compact crossovers because their emergency jack can break under load. The problem occurs when the jack — which is plastic — isn't positioned correctly as detailed in the owner's manual. This can cause the jack to fracture. If the jack breaks and the vehicle collapses, there's a risk of injury or death, according to an NHTSA recall alert. The recall involves the 2020-22 Buick Encore GX and 2021-22 Chevrolet Trailblazer. A GM test driver discovered the problem when he broke a jack during a durability test on a Trailblazer. GM started investigating in April and found 21 claims of jack failures, including one reported injury. "This jack design may not be sufficiently robust against fractures if improperly or incorrectly positioned on the vehicle frame by the user," a NHTSA safety report said. GM will start notifying vehicle owners July 26. It will provide free replacement jacks that are made of metal.   Featured Gallery 2021 Buick Encore GX View 21 Photos Recalls Buick Chevrolet GM

Buick has best sales year ever, delivers over 1M cars globally

Wed, 08 Jan 2014

If there are any lingering doubts why General Motors held onto Buick while killing Pontiac, Hummer and Saturn, one only has to look at the sales numbers from 2013 for the real answer. Thanks largely to strong sales in China, Buick set a global sales record last year by selling more than one million vehicles.
The lion's share of Buick sales came from China, which sold more than 809,000 units - about four times more Buicks than were sold in North America as a whole. In the US, the Buick Encore accounted for almost half of all US sales with 97,311 units as Buick spent the summer trying to keep up with demand of the subcompact crossover. Likewise, China-only models like the GL8 minivan and Excelle sedan (same as the US-spec Verano) were strong sellers in that market.
For good measure, Buick more than doubled its sales in Mexico with 2,319 units. Scroll down for the full press release.

Experience the New York Auto Show by drone

Fri, Apr 10 2015

The Autoblog team recently returned from wildly running around the Javits Center to cover all the news and debuts at the New York Auto Show. Sometimes, it's nice to take a more serene look at the exhibition floor, though, and the event's organizers are providing that exact opportunity by flying a drone through the hall. Combined with the down-tempo music, this clip feels like a form of automotive meditation. If you're going to miss the show in the Big Apple, the drone also provides a good overview at the exhibition floor, especially at the stands from Lexus, Buick, Dodge, Mercedes-Benz, Toyota and BMW. Plus, it's a fun way to see some vehicles from a completely different angle than they ever appear on the road.
