I have two 1997 Park Avenues that I want to sell as a package deal.

Car 1: Green. (VIN: 1G4CW52K3V4629657)  This car is my daily driver. Clear Title. 301,000 miles but runs good, shifts good, etc. Interior is good except place on back of driver's seat back which is worn through and seatbelt cover missing on back of passenger's seat. Power windows, door locks, seats all work great. 3.8 liter V-6 engine has small oil leak (don't need to add oil between changes) and small coolant leak (I top it off every couple weeks). Check engine light comes on sometimes registering an evaporative fuel recovery system error code. A/C compressor related parts were replaced summer of 2012. Very cold air. Brakes work fine but ABS light is on, so no ABS (assume sensor is bad). Aluminum wheels good, tires poor. Gas gauge is starting to fail intermittently, so I just fill up every 300 miles to make sure. Paint is bad on trunk and there is a rust spot on left rear quarter. The hood has a small dent and crease where I hit a deer. Also, the grill is cracked. This car has been in my family since 2002 with about 70k miles. Aftermarket Eclipse CD/MP3 disc player. Makes a good daily driver getting between 25 and 30 mpg highway.

Car 2: Maroon. (VIN: 1G4CW52KOV4647291)  This car has a bad engine (blown head gasket?) and has been parked for several years. Clear Title. Around 220,000 miles (no battery so don't know the exact number). Everything worked great except for the engine when it was parked. Interior is in better shape that the green car, but the paint is really bad and/or missing. Good for parts or repairing engine and slapping a paint job on it to make it a daily driver. One door panel is off but it is in the back seat. Chrome wheels clean up pretty nicely, tires poor. This car has been in my family since 2004 with 116K miles.

These cars are to be picked up in Franklin, KY.  The green car may be driven but the maroon car must be hauled.
I may be able to deliver these within a reasonable distance for the right price. Contact me for details.

GM's MPG overstatement could affect 2 million vehicles

Tue, May 17 2016

Late last week, GM admitted that three of its large SUVs fuel economy window stickers did not match their actual efficiency ratings, and so the vehicles couldn't be sold. The stickers on the 2016 Chevy Traverse, GMC Acadia, and Buick Enclave said their ratings were one to two miles per gallon better than they should have been. Officially, the number of affected vehicles sits at about 60,000. But Consumer Reports makes a good point: what's up with all of the previous model year SUVs that are basically the same vehicle? To wit: the 2016 model year vehicles are not substantially different than the 2015 or the 2014, or even going all the way back to 2007. On the EPA's fuel economy website, all of these older models will "have better stated fuel economy numbers than the new vehicles in GM's dealerships," Consumer Reports noted. CR's best point, and the one that makes the 60,000 number potentially grow to 2 million if all of the vehicles built on this platform are affected, is that "[i]t seems unlikely that the company would change the powertrain on these carryover models so late in their model cycles in a way that would cause a dramatic, negative impact on fuel economy." GM says that earlier model year SUVs are not affected and the EPA did not respond to CR's question about the potential for more discrepancies. We've seen automakers reverse course before, so if GM has to come out with a mea culpa soon, don't be surprised. GM is rushing corrected stickers to dealers so that the SUVs can be sold again, but a fix for the already-sold vehicles could be trickier to solve.

KBB 2013 Brand Image Awards has some obvious and oddball winners

Sat, 30 Mar 2013

The sixth edition of the Kelley Blue Book Brand Image Awards have crowned a wide range of winners - in a couple of cases the recipient of the laurels might say more about KBB users than they do about the actual winner. Compiled from the responses of more than 12,000 shoppers on KBB.com over the past year, there are 13 categories broken into non-luxury, luxury and truck segments "representing the combined wisdom of the American car-buying public."
The award categories have been revamped this year, with some dropping off, some new ones appearing and at least one other given a new term. What isn't surprising is that Honda won Most Trusted Brand for the second year running, Best Value Brand for the third year in a row and took Best Overall Brand, which wasn't on last year's list of awards.
On our own shores, in the non-luxury categories Chrysler got Most Refined Brand and Buick took Best Value Luxury Brand. Neither one of those marques won anything in last year's Brand Image Awards, while Cadillac, which won Best Interior Design Brand and Best Comfort Brand last year - those awards disappeared this year - went home without a single accolade.

Buick asks design students 'What could a Buick sedan look like in 2030?'

Mon, 09 Jun 2014

When you think of daring concept cars or emotional design-student projects, Buick probably isn't the first brand that comes to mind. It's not for lack of concepts; when General Motors ran down 11 concept-car highlights from Buick's 110-year history, three of them are from the past 15 years, with other experiments in that same timeframe like the Black Hawk, Centieme and Cielo left unmentioned.
But the company still thinks about them even if we don't. It ran a contest for students at Detroit's College for Creative Studies to create a Buick for the year 2030 that would incorporate future materials and transportation needs, and nanotechnology.
Best exterior design went to Sam Kenny for his Neo Classical Buick, Justin Salmon took honors for innovative material use, like having exposed algae on the bodyshell to generate energy, and Namsuk Lee nabbed best overall concept and best interior for his Buick Vision Sedan. You can read more about the design challenge and winners in the press release, and hear students talk about what went into the work in the video below.
