1985 Buick Lesabre Custom Sedan 4-door 5.0l Garage Find, One Owner, 60k Miles on 2040-cars
Bradenton, Florida, United States
|
Here is a car that you don't see much anymore. Back in the 80s, the Buick LeSabre was a large car based on the Chevrolet Caprice but with a better ride and a more luxurious and upscale feel. This one is no exception! It is a very nice car that is nearly impossible to find. Full Length video can be found here... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Kn8EhYYDig&list=UUwtnHVaD_n8gcqWQ_CyLYQQ Its a 1985 Buick LeSabre Custom 4 dr. sedan. It was purchased brand new here in Bradenton Fl. at Conley Buick in 1985 and has only a shade over 59K original miles since new. It was garage kept its entire life, and it shows. It has all power options, AC, tilt, cruise, cloth seats and wire wheel covers. I bought if from the original owners family at a garage sale a few weeks ago. I looked it over, replaced the bumper filler panels, cleaned it up a bit and now I am in love with it, but I must sell it to replace it with a small van or pickup. I will walk you around the car and describe it exactly as I know it. Exterior The paint is all original, not a spec of rust or paint work (except for the bumper fillers) can be found on any of the sheet metal. It has been waxed many many times in its life and there are traces of wax buildup but I removed most of it. I put on a fresh coat of nano wax after I replaced the bumper fillers. I also replaced the cracked grill with an NOS GM unit. All of the lights, chrome trim, and glass are in mint condition, the tires are like new Firestones and the wire wheel covers are perfect. A good professional detail would make it look even better. There are some minor dings on the passenger rear door and a few other light scratches and dings. From 5 feet away, this car looks showroom new. The color is Light Sage, which is not the nicest color but it grows on you fast. I would rate the exterior a 8 out of 10 Interior I didn't touch the interior, as pictured is the way I got the car. It is nearly flawless. It could use a carpet shampoo as there are some chocolate spots and a couple of tar spots under the drivers floor mat. The headliner is just starting to sag on the passengers side. The seats are near perfect, the dash and door panels are in great shape. No odd odors, non-smoker car. The drivers side power seat gear is stripped but that's an easy fix. The power windows are a little slow but a good lubrication would help. I would rate the interior a 7 out of 10 Mechanical The engine runs perfect. The transmission shifts perfect. Steering is tight and the brakes are smooth. The tires are just slightly flat spotted from sitting which is no big deal. It drives like a new car. The AC is ice cold and everything seems to work as it should except the power seat. All lights work perfectly and the radio sounds good however the left front speaker doesn't seem to work. I would rate this car a 9 out of 10 mechanically. Overall This would make a great cruiser for the 80s fan or a great custom car. All of my neighbors have raved about this car and talk about how you just don't see these anymore. Its the kind of classic that you can live with. Turn the AC on, drive it in the rain, etc. It has the original owners manuals, some service records, all 4 original keys and I wouldn't hesitate to drive it anywhere. Its that nice of a car. I would give this car and overall condition rating of 8.5 out of 10 Please look at all of my photos and if you have any questions you can call me at 941-720-0300 my name is Jason |

Lexus LC 500 dominates 2016 EyesOn Design Awards
Wed, Jan 13 2016The Lexus LC 500 captured top honors for the best-designed production car and the best interior at the 10th annual EyesOn Design awards at the Detroit Auto Show. The awards are handed out by the Detroit Institute of Ophthalmology. The Buick Avista won the concept car category, just as its four-door predecessor, the Avenir, did last year. Other winners this year included the Chrysler Pacifica, which won for the best-designed production "truck" (as crossovers and minivans are sometimes categorized), and the Audi H-Tron Quattro, which won for the best concept truck. The Acura Precision concept was also recognized for its "innovative use of color, graphics, and materials." And the new Volvo S90 was singled out for its human-machine interface. The panel of jurists this year included designers from an array of automakers and art schools. Several past honorees for the organization's LifeTime Design Achievement Award participated in the voting, including GM's Wayne Cherry, BMW DesignworksUSA founder Chuck Pelly, Hyundai's Peter Schreyer, and Jack Telnack (formerly of Ford). Telnack also served on the select panel of chief judges this year, alongside Chris Chapman from Hyundai, Dave Marek from Acura, and Stewart Reed from the Art Center College of Design. Lexus Takes 2 and Buick Wins Best Concept For 2nd Year at EyesOn Design Awards at NAIAS January 12, 2016, Detroit, Michigan.

2016 Buick Cascada convertible isn't afraid of Detroit's snow
Mon, Jan 12 2015It's the great irony of introducing a convertible in Detroit – while the assembled media might look at the car and imagine warm weather and clear skies, the atmosphere outside is anything but. Such was the case Sunday as Buick rolled out the 2016 Cascada in Detroit's Eastern Market. Snow didn't dampen the atmosphere, though, as we clapped eyes on the sleek, Astra-based convertible for the first time. While this is far from the first product Buick has borrowed from General Motors' European operations, unlike previous vehicles, changes for the Cascada were kept to a minimum. There is no waterfall grille or four-way portholes, which Buick was sure to install when converting the Insignia and Mokka to the Regal and Encore. Then again, neither of these styling treatments were really necessary, as the Cascada remains a handsome and stylish offering. Its cabin is typical of other Buicks, and features a few too many buttons on the center stack. Still, a thick-rimmed, flat-bottomed steering wheel, similar to what's found in the Verano, is both attractive and functional, while the perforated leather seats looks quite comfortable, as well. Take a look at our gallery of live images, which includes shots of the Cascada with the top up and down, and then head back to our original post on the new convertible for all the mechanical details.
