Owned by a non-smoker, 79 years of age.  Does not drive anymore, and has always been garaged, and GENTLY driven.  Oil changes & services always done on time.  Recently, the car passed Nevada smog check, had all the windows tinted (35% on the sides and limo on the rear and top of the windshield.)  I get compliments and inquiries on the car all the time.  I hate to sell it, but I have no use for it anymore.  It was my daily driver, and it never let me down.  A very nice car that can only increase in value.  I am happy to answer any questions you may have regarding the car, as best as I can.  I have the owner's manual, but the binding came loose from age.  Two miles from my house a used car dealer has the identical car in virtually the identical condition and is asking $7,295, so I am very realistic and fair in what I am asking   In that it is a  private sale, there is no sales tax, of course.  The title is clean, from Nevada, and there are no loans or liens on the car.






What makes the car great----prettiest color combo (white/burgundy) rare, sought after model by collectors, cost over $30,000 when new in 1990, economical to drive, dependable, parts are cheap (other GM cars from the same year came from the same parts bin), car just had an oil change/filter, had a tune-up with new spark plugs, had the air and fuel filter changed, is garaged (so the original paint is shiny) and detailed every two weeks, the headlights work properly (just had repaired), the digital dashboard is working properly, as are the power windows, power seat, power mirrors.  Has the original rims with the original centers (they're expensive), and the tires are good, having just had an alignment, balance, and rotation so the car is smooth at 80 mph.  The car has spent its life in the South West, thus, it is not some rust-eaten clunker from snow states.


What makes the car less than showroom perfect:   windshield has a vertical crack on the extreme right side, check engine light came on (passed smog anyway), passenger seat was torn by a razor when someone broke in and tried to take the car, the driver's door was replaced and part of the rear quarter panel was painted, thus there is a slight shade difference in that area and the power door locks/alarm were not working since,  back when the car was new, I learned from the auto check report that the hood was fixed, explaining some paint variance on that as well.   the radio works intermittently, and the cassette doesn't work, the A/C isn't working properly, although the compressor is running.  When you put the car in reverse, it sometimes is less than smooth as it shifts into that gear.  One of the horn buttons fell off (I have in the trunk).  There might be other things I am not aware of, since I am not a mechanic, but nothing else is obvious to me, for it were, I would list it here. The power antenna is disconnected, because when I connect it the motor keeps running even though the antenna is at its full height.

The car is obviously almost 25 years old, so expect it to need renewal of parts due to age, so the car is being sold as is, no returns, and you are responsible for arranging shipping or you can pick it up yourself and drive it home.

Chevy Bolt-based prototype may be a Buick EV for China

Thu, Jan 9 2020

Late last spring, we got a look at a GM prototype that was clearly based on the Chevy Bolt EV, but with updated styling. It seemed like it could be a more crossover-styled Bolt, given the recently trademarked name of EUV. Now we get another look at the prototype, but the bodywork seems less suggestive of a Chevy, and more of a Buick. This vehicle definitely still appears to be based on the Bolt, rather than on another small GM platform. In the photos of it next to the current model, the size, wheelbase and profile are extremely similar. There are differences, though. The nose isn't as sloped or as rounded, and the rear window kicks up a little earlier. The biggest changes are in the front and rear fascias, and it's here that we see hints of Buick. There are prominent air inlets on each side of the front bumper that give the car a more aggressive look. The headlights still have a fairly rounded, organic look, but with little extensions like fangs underneath. The styled running-light section, rounded shape and the smoked lenses seem very Buick-like. The grille features a large badge that doesn't fit the shape of a bow-tie, and is more that of a round logo like Buick's. Around at the back, the full-width taillights stand out, and in the middle there is obviously a round badge, again like a Buick. The wide taillights would also be a natural evolution of Buick's current light design language that uses somewhat wide and thin lights. The rear bumper has been redesigned with new lower taillights. Now that we've established that this seems very much like a Buick, we don't think we'll see this particular version offered here with the badge. This is more likely a Buick version of the Bolt for the Chinese market, where the brand is associated with luxury and has been the spearhead for GM's electric and hybrid models. In fact, the Chevy Volt hybrid was sold there as the Buick Velite 5, which was part of a family of a electrified Velite models. This would probably also carry a Velite badge as well. While we might not see this specific Buick variant, we probably will see it offered as a Chevy in some form. With its more aggressive, crossover shape, it could be the rumored EUV model. Or it could be just a refresh of the current Bolt, since the model has been largely unchanged since its introduction for the 2017 model year. And extrapolating from this prototype, we can see how the headlights could be tweaked to tie into those air scoops as on the Suburban and Silverado.

2022 Buick Enclave revealed with a handsome new look

Thu, Jan 21 2021

Here is the 2022 Buick Enclave! That's all now. Move along. At least, that’s according to Buick, which offered no information beyond these two photos. We know itÂ’s for the 2022 model year, and we know it will go on sale “later this year.” The visual changes are obvious enough on their own. It amounts to what weÂ’d expect a mid-cycle refresh would look like. Buick gave it a totally new front and rear. WeÂ’re most taken by the new look up front, though. That grille gives it the presence it was lacking before, and the horizontal slashes meeting in the middle at the Buick logo are a nice touch. New LED headlights are slimmed way down and tuck in neatly under the hood. Even the lower bumper adds some pizazz with swooping lines and a handsome, verging on sporty, finish. Nothing much changes in the middle, but sharp LED taillights steal the show in back. TheyÂ’re still connected by a central trim piece, but itÂ’s been darkened and massaged to a cleaner look. Buick also looks like it has gone for a concealed exhaust design — it had a visible dual exhaust pipe exit before. The last obvious change is a new set of dark-painted wheels. There are certainly a number of tech updates to be found on the interior, but Buick isnÂ’t talking about (or showing) those yet. WeÂ’ll have to wait for a later date to know every last detail of the refreshed Enclave. For now, the styling changes are a nice change of pace and make it look far more appealing. Related video:

GM raises 2023 guidance on strong sales, higher profits

Tue, Apr 25 2023

General Motors beat first-quarter profit estimates and raised its full-year earnings and cash-flow guidance after vehicle demand at the start of the year surpassed expectations. Its shares rose in premarket trading. GM made $2.21 a share in adjusted profit in the first quarter, compared to a consensus forecast of $1.72 a share. Revenue rose 11% to $39.99 billion, it said Tuesday, which was more than the $39.24 billion analysts expected. The stronger results stem from rising sales in the US, even in the face of higher interest rates and inflation. GM executives said demand was strong enough to revise 2023 guidance upward, boosting profit estimates for the year by $500 million to between $11 billion and $13 billion. “We did it with strong production and inventory discipline and consistent pricing,” GM Chief Financial Officer Paul Jacobson said on a call with journalists. “All in all, weÂ’re feeling confident about 2023.” The Detroit automaker raised per-share full-year guidance to between $6.35 and $7.35, up from $6 to $7 a share, and said free cash flow would also increase by $500 million to a range of $5.5 billion to $7.5 billion.  GMÂ’s shares pared a gain of as much as 4.4% before the start of regular trading Tuesday, rising 3.5% to $35.50 as of 6:55 a.m. in New York. The stock was up 1.9% for the year as of the close on Monday.  North American Strength The automakerÂ’s sales were particularly strong in North America, where first-quarter earnings rose before interest and taxes rose to $3.6 billion. Vehicle sales rose 18% to 707,000 in the region. Jacobson said the company originally expected to sell 15 million vehicles in the US this year, slightly less than the 15.5 million annualized rate automakers foresaw in the first quarter. North American demand was enough to offset a weak performance in China, GMÂ’s second-largest market. The automaker continues to struggle in the country, where its vehicle sales fell 25% to 462,000 vehicles in the quarter. Profits from its joint ventures in the market slumped 65% to $83 million.  The market has struggled overall in the wake of Covid-19 restrictions and foreign automakers have had to overcome a growing preference for Chinese brands by competing on price, squeezing profit margins. The situation in China probably wonÂ’t significantly improve until the second half of the year, according to Jacobson. GM remains on target to sell 150,000 electric vehicles this year, the CFO said.
