   hi, folks. up for sale is an oldtimer's, old, Buick wagon. yes, I know it is old, I am too and I run almost as good as this car. showing just 64,800 miles, this is an unlikely CAR to see, but it is true... OK, I did not choose to shoot in the rain, but it actually worked out fine as the car needed a bath, anyway.

 

 starts, stops, steers great. the motor is fine, smooth, quiet and even firing. idles a little high @ 900rpm, but I do not know how to adjust. this is a fuel injected 305 C.I. GM motor, and runs great. tranny shifts from park to drive with no drama, pulls out great and shifts through all the gears at the right time. fluids are good, oil clean, newer belts, no issues.

 

 the battery has been replaced, but I am taking it to my mechanic tomorrow as we think it needs an alternator (AMP light on, although car drives fine...). there are no other lights on or issues.  

 motor and tranny fine. drives great; but... it is a big, older car and drives old school. a bit of over-steer, soft ride, does not corner at high speeds too well. cruising around town, or on the highway... actually safe, quiet and comfy; I like it. drifts a little to the right on occasion, tires are old and soft, brakes are excellent, a/c and heater does not blow (i'll check on it tomorrow), I am guessing bad blower motor or fuse, switch,. i'll make sure the car is OK for the drive home as far as the charging system, can only give you a heads up on the blower.

 

  windows, p/steering, radio, gauges, odometer, light, horn, wipers, blinkers, speedometer, etc, all A-OK. no fluid leaks visible, belts, hoses, bracket, etc all good. the motor is fine, no knock, ticks or tocks, very smooth. all original interior, and showing some age, but all in all better than what you would look for in a car this age.

 

 it has a sunroof of sorts, looks and feels like leather, alloy wheels, 2 keys and proper center caps. the body and paint are fine, but the body-side moldings, only the rubber strips, are loosing hold in some areas and the wood-grain trim molding is damaged on the left rear side in a small section. no dings, no dents, no broken bits except on rear tail lamp has some light cracking and my guess is simply due to age. this car has been around a long time and looks like it was never, ever crashed or hurt bad.

 

  i'll post later regarding the alternator issue. I am happy to sort that out and will, of course, pay for repairs and will document work performed. please feel fre to bid and buy. call or email anytime, happy to help. thnx !!

 

  the Buick is exactly as shown and at my home. feel free to come by, or have an inspection done locally.

OnStar RemoteLink mobile app coming standard on all new GM vehicles

Thu, 06 Jun 2013

As an evolution and improvement of its OnStar technology, General Motors has announced that it will be expanding the RemoteLink Mobile App on most 2014 model year Chevrolet, Buick, GMC and Cadillac vehicles. The new, aptly named RemoteLink Key Fob Services will allow users to remotely operate all of the same systems as the car's key fob, including locking and unlocking the doors and remote starting (on vehicles equipped with a factory remote starter) using a smartphone.
These Key Fob Services will be free for five years - starting from the vehicle's delivery date - but the full suite of RemoteLink features will continue to be offered only with a subscription (trial or paid). These premium features include contacting a live adviser, getting turn-by-turn directions and remotely monitoring the vehicle's diagnostic systems.

Trademarks indicate Buick Regal wagon could be on the way

Wed, Dec 23 2015

American wagon fans have been waiting for General Motors to import a Buick-badged version of the Opel Insignia Sports Tourer since the current Insignia-based Regal hit dealers. If a new patent filing is any indication, that day could be coming soon. Then again, it might not mean anything. AutoGuide reports that Buick has filed two trademarks with the US Patent and Trademark Office for "Motor land vehicles, namely automobiles." You can see the trademarks for "Tourx" and "Regal Tourx" here and here. "Tour" smacks of wagon models, while the "x" – for all-wheel drive – makes us wonder if maybe we'll be seeing a rebadged version of the high-riding Opel Insignia Country Tourer (shown above). This isn't the first time Buick has stoked the hopes of US wagon fans, though. Earlier this year, trademarks were filed for the "Regal Sport Touring," a name that's very close to the Euro-market wagon's title. In fact, that trademark had the same description as the Tourx/Regal Tourx filings. As we've established before, automakers file trademarks all the time. It's far from a guarantee that anything will come of such trademarked names. Still, two wagon-ish filings with the USPTO from Buick in under a year makes it seem like there's at least someone at the Trishield brand that's campaigning for a long-roof Regal. Fight the good fight, friend. Related Video:

Pre-owned bargain alert: Buick Regal

Wed, Feb 3 2016

For the past couple of years, Buick has been very aggressive in promoting short-term low-mileage leasing. The plan was to get people in the door to experience the new Buick. Once they realized Buicks are now sleek and full of Euro Chic, people might want to buy one. It's debatable if that plan worked, but one thing is for sure: There's a massive amount of low-mileage Buick Regals out there. The price of Regals is all over the map due to lease returns and dealers aggressively discounting 2015 models to get rid of them. But at the $17,500–20,000 range there are a good number of 2013 to 2015 Regals with under 15k miles for sale. The Regal might come with 2.0L Turbo or 2.4L Hybrid. The Hybrid is a bit slow; stick with the Turbo and drive with the traction control off. They all come moderately equipped with leather, heated seats, alloy wheels, and dual-zone climate control. If you have a little more cash to spend, go for the 2012/2013 Regal GS, which is based on the Opel Insignia OPC. The Regal GS comes with 270 horsepower and 295 lb-ft from a turbo engine and a HiPerStrut suspension to reduce torque steer. They all come standard with Brembo brakes, navigation, sunroof, and premium sound system, in automatic or manual. Just make sure you budget money in your savings to replace the front tires. Trust me on this. You can purchase a Camry or Accord with some equipment for under $20,000 with a bit more miles and years than the Regal. But ultimately the Regal feels more premium, drives better, and is less boring. Make the right choice and buy something unique.Related Video:
