1999 Buick Park Avenue Ultra-low Miles-very Well Taken Care Of-supercharged! on 2040-cars
Fountain Valley, California, United States
|
Up for auction is a really nice, one owner California Park Avenue Ultra. I purchased this car about 4 months ago with the intention of using it as the family second car. Unfortunately, it rarely ever gets driven. So, my wife and I have decided to pass it on to somebody who will use it everyday and enjoy it.
The car has been well cared for over and garaged most of it's life. Most all of the original owner's service history is from the dealer as evident by all of the parts that have been replaced are factory GM, including the new battery. At some point several years ago the car was repainted under warranty by GM as the original Pearl White paint was pealing (typical GM car). They did an average job on the respray, but it looks nice in general and appears very sharp. All of the exterior trim is very nice with minimum to no sun aging. The car has never been damaged and the body is straight. The chrome wheels are very nice ad free of corrosion or damage and the tires have about 50% tread left. Brakes and rotors are new GM parts. The engine is tight, quiet, and powerful. If you look in the oil filler cap the internal part of the engine is factory clean. There are no leaks or issues whatsoever. It is a very tight an quiet car that has been only adult driven and maintained properly. The interior is in very nice condition and shows very little wear. The back seat is perfect an looks as though it has never been used. Dash is perfect as all gauges work properly. It has the upgraded Concert Sound II with the CD changer in the trunk as will as a single disk on the dash. The dual climate control works perfect and the a/c is ice cold. Headliner and carpet are in great condition. All controls are working properly, however the right rear window is stubborn at times. The ashtray sometimes will not click and stay closed, sometimes it will. It has never been smoked in, however when I drive it I will plug my cell phone charger in the lighter area. The center console is in good shape, but there is some type of color pealing in one panel. Luckily under the pealing is the same color. I researched this and found that GM painted some of their parts and this is common. The front seats do have a little wear in the leather, but nothing major and probably less than the typical car of this era. The driver's seat bottom front doesn't like to move up and down with power, it just buzzes. All of the other dual power seat controls work perfect as does the 4 way lumbar. All in all, a very clean, well maintained and never abused interior that even smells fresh! I looked for this model for a while and and found this one to be the one with the best maintained driveline. She is smooth and quiet and gets great fuel economy. The supercharger is a must for his car since it siting on the heavier Cadillac chassis. In essence you have all the luxury of the Seville but without the headaches of the problematic Northstar. If you are looking for a clean, well maintained Park Avenue Supercharged, look no further... The car ran out of registration at the end of January, but has the clean original title and will come with a current smog certificate for any California buyers... Please ask any and all questions, we will be happy to answer them. Thank You. |

Buick Avenir will be made...as a trim level instead of a car
Fri, Sep 30 2016Almost two years after Buick showed the gorgeous Avenir concept, the company announced the Avenir name will reach production. Specifically, it will be a top-tier trim level for 2018 model year Buicks. It's taking a page from GMC's Denali, Lincoln's Black Label, and, well, plenty of examples of extra-fancy sauce. This is disappointing news for fans of the concept, but they can take solace in the fact that the Avenir's good looks are starting to rub off on production Buicks, such as the new LaCrosse. For those interested in what this new Avenir trim will bring to the table, it's a similar formula to what many other auto brands are doing. Buick specifically compares Avenir with the Denali trim for GMC. Models with the trim will get a special 3D mesh grille inspired by the Avista concept, large wheels and unique trim finishes outside. Inside, Avenir models will receive a nicer interior, which Buick generically described as having "unique seat details" and "modern trim materials." Cars equipped with the package will also get a smattering of Avenir badges. Avenir looks like a win-win: interested buyers get some extra cachet and bragging rights and Buick gets to load high-profit options on it cars and SUVs. Buick's inspiration for the Avenir trim is a bit strange, though. The company says it is "inspired by Buick's evolving customer base," which includes women and owners of competing products. Apparently both groups are buying Buicks in greater numbers, and the company also says that many of their customers opt for the most expensive trims. While it seems straightforward to tailor a package for luxury-seeking buyers, we're not sure what would make a package specifically appeal to women and people with competitors' vehicles. That being said, Buick isn't as patronizing as Cosmopolitan was with its car. In fact, quite the opposite. With Avenir, Buick is cashing in on new customers that willing to pay for luxury plain and simple, without any pandering. Related Video: Auto News Buick Luxury denali buick avenir
Despite strong profits, GM still fighting flat market share
Fri, Jan 17 2014Looking at the progress General Motors has made since it entered bankruptcy, it's easy to forget that the company still has a long way to go before it's the juggernaut it once was. A recent report from Reuters points out that, while GM is making money, it isn't making any gains in terms of US market share. Quite the opposite, really. Consider this factoid: In 1963, nearly half of the cars sold in the United States were from Chevrolet, Cadillac, Buick, GMC or Pontiac. Now, the company's US market share is stagnant at 17.9 percent. That same number is half of just Chevy's 1963 market share. This is all despite GM going on a binge replacing or updating its models. "Market share increases are not instantaneous," Mark Reuss told Reuters at the 2014 Detroit Auto Show. "We've got a lot of baggage. Don't underestimate what people though of us, or these brands, through these hardships and 30 years." The reasons for the stagnant market share are numerous. Reuters points out that retooling of factories and a focus on limiting incentives are both good things for profit, but not necessarily for market share. There's also the troubling turnover of the brand's marketing department. These issues don't change the fact that Chevrolet has lost 1.4 percent of its market share in two years, and that Cadillac - arguably GM's most improved brand overall - has lost 1.2 percent in the same period. Part of that can be blamed on GM's avoidance of fleet sales in favor of more profitable customer sales. "Our focus has really been on retail and that's where we've got the growth," said Alan Batey, GM's interim global marketing boss. "We want to grow GM and that means growing market share and profits, but it's not at all costs," Reuss said.

2014 Buick Regal priced from $29,690*
Mon, 09 Sep 2013Buick has announced pricing for the refreshed 2014 Regal. The base model offers a 2.0-liter, turbocharged, 259-horsepower, four-cylinder engine for $30,615 (*after $925 delivery and destination fee). The standard turbo can be replaced by Buick's eAssist mild hybrid system for $32,485. The electrified powertrain delivers 36 miles per gallon, in place of the turbo's 30 mpg on the highway.
The big powertrain news for 2014 is the inclusion of an all-wheel-drive system for an extra $2,175. Marking one of the few uses of all-wheel drive on a Buick car, the new Regal AWD has an electronic, limited-slip differential and a HiPer Strut front suspension, which is the same front arrangement used on the hot, front-drive Regal GS.
Speaking of the Regal GS, it's not so hot for 2014. It sports the same 259-horsepower engine as the standard Regal, but offsets that with a wealth of standard, optional or flat-out exclusive equipment like active dampers, Brembo brakes and a Bose stereo. Prices (all including the $925 fee) start at $37,830. Like the standard car, the GS will be available with all-wheel drive for the first time, bringing it a bit more in line with its cousins across the pond - Opel Insignia OPC and Vauxhall Insignia VXR. Prices for the GS AWD start at $40,195.
