1987 Buick Grand National Turbo, Coupe, Black. on 2040-cars
Rolling Meadows, Illinois, United States
|
This car is in good condition but like most GNs it could use a little work. It runs and drives fine and the body has no visible rust or dents.
As for work done to the car, I have only done routine maintenance and replace the battery myself. From the paperwork I received from the previous owner, it appears the engine has been rebuilt, and the turbo was serviced as well. There is a "boost leak" when the turbo kicks in, it sputters. I have not had the time to look into this. From time to time the brakes seem "spongy" although the lines have been bled. There is also a minor squeal which sounds like a bearing, but I'm not sure. The interior is in great condition with the exception of the headliner which needs to be replaced and the dash which is cracked (you can see from the photos). The exterior has some minor flaws as well, such as minor chips, peeling at the bottom, clear coat spots, small paint blisters, the headlight surrounds are faded and cracked (also shown in the photos), and the wheels also have chipped paint. There is a slow leak on both rear right and front left tires, and looks as though they could use replacing. All in all it's a solid car for someone who has more time and a little extra money to enjoy it. The buyer is responsible for shipping and costs. A $500 non-refundable deposit is due within 24 hours of the end of the auction or the car will be relisted. Arrangements for shipping/pickup must be made within 7 days or the sale will be void and the deposit will be forfeited. |

Buick Envision spied fully disrobed in China
Wed, 27 Aug 2014The Buick Envision crossover is supposed to have its big reveal on August 28 and be on display at the Chengdu Motor Show, but apparently the new midsize crossover just can't wait to meet its public. Car News China caught a completely undisguised example parking outside of the convention center where the show is held.
The Buick designers are going right down the middle with the styling with nothing too flashy to turn off potential buyers. Still, it's a handsome CUV that kind of looks like a stretched Encore from some angles with vents along the hood, a large greenhouse and a prominent crease running down the side.
This new midsizer is hitting the Chinese market first and reportedly rides on GM's Delta platform that's also found underneath the Buick Verano. According to Car News China, prices there are between 160,000 yuan and 220,000 yuan ($26,000 - $35,800 at current rates). However, it's also rumored to eventually make its way across the Pacific to give Buick buyers in the US an option between the Encore compact crossover and larger Enclave.
Buick Envision CUV displays full-frontal nudity
Tue, 22 Jul 2014Earlier this month, Shanghai GM gave us a glimpse of the production version of the Buick Envision concept revealed at the Shanghai Motor Show back in 2011. And now it's released the first unveiled shot and initial details of the crossover to slot in the considerable gap between the Encore and Enclave.
The new Envision is set later this year to reach Chinese showrooms, where it will be called the Ang Ke Wei, after which we're expecting it to arrive Stateside. The production-ready Envision is about the size of the Chevrolet Equinox or GMC Terrain, but is differentiated by a more upscale treatment and Buick's signature waterfall grille, flanked by Xenon headlamps and LED running lights and riding on 19-inch wheels.
Power comes from GM's familiar 2.0-liter turbo four with direct injection and stop/start ignition, driving 256 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque through a six-speed automatic transmission to all four wheels. That's about all that GM's Chinese operation has announced at this point - it's not even clear what platform the vehicle is on - but you can check out the press release for yourself below.
How to hack a Buick Regal with CarKnow
Thu, 08 Aug 2013If you own an Apple iPhone or Android device, perhaps you've been tempted to jailbreak or root it. This process gives you access to the the software's code, and can be used to make minor or drastic changes to its operating system. CarKnow, a company in Boston, is working applying a similar concept to the automobile.
Translogic recently took a look inside CarKnow to see just how it can tweak the computers inside a car and what sort of things can be done. As our transportation tech sister site explains, CarKnow basically created a digital duplicate of their Buick Regal in the cloud, while harvesting data generated to create custom apps and infiltrate the deepest function of their test car.
And before you freak out about people maliciously taking over your car, CarKnow's founder, Josh Siegel, stresses that it isn't quite so easy as driving up alongside someone. Take a look at the full video below to see just what it's like to jailbreak a car.
