86 Grand National Mint Condition Low Mileage on 2040-cars
Houston, Texas, United States
For sale is a mint condition 1986 Grand National. This GN has been owned and loved it's whole life (it shows) The car has a 3 year old paint job and has been done right. It runs, drives and shifts without issues and could be washed and used as a "show car" right now. You will be hard pressed to find a better example for this price. Everyone has a different opinion of what is "mint" I will try to describe the car best I know. Powertrain: Engine is stock 3.8 liter turbo, upgrades are prom, Ram air cleaner, fuel regulator, MAP sensor, headers and high flow exhaust. The car runs perfect with no issues. Idles nice, runs smooth and no known issues. Transmission is stock 2004R runs without issue. Rear axle is a Limited Slip G80 option 3.42 ratio (only about 50% of all GN's had limited slip G80). Exterior : All Grand Nationals came with Lacquer paint all have checked or cracked over time if exposed to direct sun for very long. This car had that problem so it was repainted 3 years ago. This car has been disassembled, striped and repainted in DuPont 2 stage basecoat/clearcoat. To give you an idea of the quality of the paint refinish, it was applied as follows : 1. Disassemble entire car, remove windows, moldings, emblems, weather strip, mirrors, and bumpers. 2. Hand sand old paint down to bare metal. 3. Apply sealer and hand wet sand. 4. Apply color primer and hand wet sand. 5. Apply base color and hand wet sand. 6. Apply clear coat 3 times hand wet sand. 7. Reassemble all trim, bumpers, emblems, windows, weatherstrip, mirrors etc. 8. One final wet sand and final buff and detail took over 6 months and 150 man hours of paint and prep. ZERO rust all original sheetmetal. New emblems, new window sweeps, new window moldings, new bumper moldings, new grill insert, new bumper inserts front and back. All original GM parts. Interior : Stock with no issues, carpet and seats perfect no rips, dash pad has no cracks, headliner is perfect, all electrical works, wipers, headlights, and turnsignals. I added a boost gauge on the pillar molding. A/C works perfect and has a new compressor and dryer. Trunk : stock with spare and jack (looks as if it was never used). I took the carpet out for pictures but it is there. (no RUST ever) Misc : Has new GNX style 16" rims with Bridgestone Potenza 245/50R16 tires. Added a remote alarm system and remote start. Has new battery, new alternator. I have the original books and factory manuals that go with the car. In closing : I would not be afraid to drive this anywhere in the USA but please realize it is almost 30 years old and most items are still original, so time alone can cause issues. I feel this car has been driven just enough to keep current but low enough to still feel as if it is "near new" condition. Feel free to ask any questions or request any pictures via email. I ask for a $500 deposit within 48 hours or auctions end and full payment with in 5 business days of auctions end. Shipping is to be paid by winning bidder. Thank you for looking and if in Houston feel free to set up a time to see the car.

2018 Buick Regal TourX starts right around $30,000
Wed, Jun 28 2017The all-new Buick Regal is coming, and it's ditching the sedan bodystyle in favor of two liftback variants. This week, CarsDirect reported pricing on the more interesting of the two, the Regal TourX. While we're waiting on an official confirmation from Buick, at $29,995 (presumably before destination), the lifted-wagon will significantly undercut competitors from BMW, Volvo, and Audi. With standard all-wheel drive and a powerful turbocharged inline-four, the Regal TourX has the potential to steal som sales from the Europeans. CarsDirect bases its report on the latest Buick order guides. All versions of the Regal TourX come with all-wheel drive and a turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-four making 250 horsepower and 265 pound-feet of torque. The only available transmission is an eight-speed automatic. Push-button start, active-noise cancellation, and 18-inch wheels are part of the package. The Regal TourX Preferred bumps the price to $33,575. For the extra few hundred dollars, you get an auto-dimming rearview mirror, leather-wrapped steering wheel, power driver's seat, and door sill plates. There are also more colors available than on the base model. Further options include a $1,240 driver's assistance package with blind-spot monitoring, rear park assist, and cross-traffic alert, and a $1,200 panoramic moonroof. A fully loaded, top-trim Regal TourX rings in at $38,860. Direct competitors are difficult to name. The pricing is above something like the Volkswagen Golf Alltrack, but far less than the Audi A4 Allroad, Volvo V60 Cross Country, or a BMW 3 Series wagon. It ought to offer more power and refinement than a Subaru Outback, but we'll have to wait to drive it before we can make a final call.

2019 Buick LaCrosse Sport Touring isn't that sporty
Mon, Jul 2 2018The 2019 Buick LaCrosse Sport Touring is presumably a new, sportier version of Buick's large sedan. And on the surface, it does look more exciting. It has less chrome trim than its counterparts, the grille gets a body color surround and a black wire mesh insert. It has a simple little spoiler at the back, 19-inch wheels, and the all-important badging. We can't imagine Ford is thrilled at the use of the "ST" nomenclature on display at the back, though. Unfortunately, Buick hasn't really done anything to actually make this car sportier than other LaCrosse sedans. It has the same 3.6-liter V6 found in other versions making the same 310 horsepower and 268 pound-feet of torque. That power goes through the same nine-speed automatic as the others, too. Additionally, the Sport Touring is only available with front-wheel drive. Still, if you like the style, and the LaCrosse's standard performance is suitable to you, you'll want to know how much it costs. Base price is $41,220. You'll also have a choice of five colors: white, black, red, and two kinds of silver. And if the LaCrosse ST isn't sporty enough for you, you might want to check out the Regal GS. It has the same engine, but with a bit more torque, all-wheel drive, is in a smaller body, and has hatchback versatility.

2018 Buick Enclave slims down for spy shots
Tue, Jul 19 2016Most vehicles are refreshed every five years or so. New technology and styling is required to keep up with the latest trends. Although this cycle is common, there are some vehicles, like the Buick Enclave, that seem to stick around far past their expiration date. We now have spy shots of what appears to be the nine-year old Enclave's replacement. Although the vehicle in the photos is completely covered in camouflage, we can make out the new Buick family grill. There are a set of LED running lights up front and what appear to be a location for foglights toward the bottom. The camo covering is cut in places to allow gaps for sensors, presumably for parking and other driver aids. Out back, the rectangular taillights don't appear to be production ready. The whole rear, especially the glass, looks smaller than the outgoing model, though it is difficult to properly tell through the camouflage. The rear bumper has wide cuts for the dual exhaust pipes, and again the camo has cutouts for sensors. The side profile reveals the biggest change with the new Enclave. The current version shares a platform with the Chevrolet Traverse and the original GMC Acadia, some of the largest vehicles on the market. The all-new 2017 Acadia scaled down in order to compete against midsize crossovers and now has more in common with the smaller, Chinese-built Buick Envision. That doesn't mean the Enclave and Acadia are entirely separate. Both the Enclave and upcoming Traverse will ride on a stretched version of the Acadia platform. The general profile remains the same, but it's apparent that the vehicle in these photos is longer than the new GMC. Most other details are speculation. The Enclave will most likely arrive with GM's 3.6 liter V6. With the introduction of the Envision, the Enclave is expected to move upmarket to compete against the Acura MDX and Volvo XC90. Because of the slightly narrower shape, passenger seating is expected to fall to seven. The new crossover will probably lose a bit of weight with the redesign. The new Buick is expected to debut next year as a 2018 model. Look for the reveal of the Chevrolet Traverse replacement as well.
