1987 Buick Regal Limited Turbo T on 2040-cars
Willard, Utah, United States
1987 Buick Regal Limited Turbo-T. 1 of 1035 made. Car is stock except
for a Hooker cat-back exhaust. Astroroof, cruise, power windows and
locks, Concert Sound II, trunk carpet kit. I've had this car for 10
years and only drive it once every couple of months to keep everything
fresh. It would make a great daily driver, garage queen, or something to
modify since it's been untouched it's whole life. Over the past year I
replaced the speedometer cable, TCC solenoid, power window motors, battery, vacuum brake
conversion, and upgraded the stereo. I put Sony speakers in the front
doors and Pioneer 6x9's in the rear deck with the correct adapters. The
JVC headunit has HD Radio and an AUX input for mp3 players. I have the
stock headunit and Powermaster system still. The Powermaster can be
shipped back to Kirban Performance for a $100 credit. I bought this car with the intentions of having something to cruise around in on Sundays once in a while and it's been great for that. Fast forward ten years and now I have kids that are getting older and a basement that needs to be finished.
Car is clean and drives well. All stock except for the exhaust. I replaced it because the original mufflers were starting to rattle inside. I rebuilt the rubber exhaust hangar at the "Y" connection and replaced the transmission mount with an HRpartsNstuff poly mount because the rubber had deteriorated. Exhaust has a nice low rumble at idle and no drone while driving. It does have the test pipe in place as the cat suffered a casualty during removal. Brakes are awesome since the Kirban conversion. I had ONE near-miss with the garage door when I still had the Powermaster. I walked inside to my computer and ordered the conversion 5 minutes later. I replaced the speedo cable at the same time because I was working right by it and the speedo used to bounce. I did the speakers and power window motors at the same time too. The stereo sounds sooo much better than stock. Nothing fancy, just better than crumbled speakers. The Regal does not smell like an ash tray because I'm a non-smoker and as far as I can tell the previous owner was not as well. Full disclosure: The Regal is very original and clean but as any older car it is not perfect. I will list any problems here: Small dent in drivers door. There is paint checking on the decklid. You do have to look close to see it but it is there. The tops of the door panels and front seats is faded compared to the rest of the interior. Rear main seal has a small leak, takes about a week to get a few drops on the ground. A/C compressor is starting to get a little noisy. That just started this year. Still has R-12. No cat. I don't have IM testing here, but if you need a cat they can be purchased from gbodyparts.com I'm located about 45 minutes north of Salt Lake International airport so if you wanted to fly here and drive back I'd be willing to meet there, or if transporting I can deliver the car to a transporter in the Ogden or Salt Lake area. Paypal or cash only. $500 deposit due within 48 hours of action ending. Full payment due 10 days after action ends, cash or Paypal transfer. |

Updated Buick LaCrosse, Regal to debut at New York Auto Show
Tue, 26 Feb 2013Judging by the spy shots we saw last week for the 2014 Buick LaCrosse and 2014 Buick Regal, we knew it wouldn't be much longer until we saw both sedans receive a grand debut. Today, Buick confirmed to Autoblog both cars will be introduced at the New York Auto Show next month, but no further information has yet been released about either model.
Having been on the market for an extra couple years, the changes to the LaCrosse appear to be more significant than those coming for the Regal, but both will be getting refreshed exterior designs as well as updated interiors. The Regal's new face brings it more in line with the all-new Encore and the restyled Enclave, while the LaCrosse should get a more distinctive, upscale appearance.
Both cars will be introduced exactly a month from today, and we'll be there to bring you all the coverage.
Buick, Lexus top J.D. Power survey, as vehicle service improves overall
Fri, Mar 17 2017Buick and Lexus returned to their customary place atop J.D. Power's scorecard of satisfaction with dealership service departments. In the Customer Service Index Study, out Thursday, Buick scored 860 on a 1,000-point scale for mass-market brands and has topped this ranking in three of the past four years. Lexus topped the list of luxury brands with a score of 874. Fiat and Land Rover were the bottom-dwellers in the two categories. Buick and Lexus also ranked highly in the research company's overall Vehicle Dependability Study rankings out recently. The customer experience at car dealerships has improved steadily, with the overall industry score rising in seven of the past eight years. And one statistic is particularly remarkable: 94 percent of customers say their car was fixed right the first time. The dominant area of difficulty in repairs seems to be infotainment systems. Only 80 percent of respondents said their stereo was fixed right the first time. And in last month's Vehicle Dependability Study, J.D. Power reported that infotainment systems were the most commonly reported vehicle issue, accounting for 22 percent of all problems reported, up 2 percent from the previous year. J.D. Power surveyed 70,000 customers for the Customer Service Index Study. For the Vehicle Dependability Study, it surveyed 35,186 first owners of 2014 model-year vehicles after three years of ownership. Below are charts for both the current study and the complementary overall brand dependability survey. Related video:
Buick rolls out more potent Encore Sport Touring
Mon, Jul 20 2015Buick has announced a new Sport Touring version of the Encore. And more than a trim level or special edition, we're glad to report that the new model packs a more potent engine. Instead of the 1.4-liter turbo four that produces 138 horsepower and 148 pound-feet of torque in the standard Encore, the new Sport Touring model features a newer, more powerful engine that GM says shares little with the existing unit aside from its displacement. The new 1.4-liter turbocharged, direct-injection engine produces a more commanding 153 hp and 177 lb-ft of torque, which is up a good 11 percent and 20 percent, respectively, over the existing engine. It's still mated to a six-speed automatic transmission, and features a stop/start system to optimize fuel efficiency. Buick wasn't willing to estimate where the mile-per-gallon numbers might land, though that information will be available closer to sale. Along with the upgraded engine, Buick is also throwing in 18-inch wheels, a rear spoiler, and the features from the Convenience package as well. The new Encore model follows just a couple of months after we first caught wind of a trademark filed for the Sport Touring name. At the time, it looked like it was set to be applied to the Regal and LaCrosse sedan, which could still follow as well.

It is distinguished by unique exterior cues and driven by an exclusive, all-new 1.4L turbocharged engine featuring direct injection and stop/start technology. The exterior features include a winged rear spoiler, 18-inch aluminum premium-finish wheels and body-color door handles, while the technologically advanced 1.4L turbo is part of a new, global family of small, power-dense engines developed to balance performance and efficiency with exceptional refinement. Direct injection helps it generate an estimated 153 hp (112 kW) and 177 lb-ft of torque (240 Nm), for about 11 percent more horsepower and nearly 20 percent more torque than the Encore's standard engine – and a greater feeling of power on demand, particularly at low- and mid-range engine speeds. It's matched with a six-speed automatic transmission. Stop/start technology contributes to reduced fuel consumption in stop-and-go driving.
