1994 Buick Roadmaster Estate Wagon 5.7l on 2040-cars
Seattle, Washington, United States
I bought it in 2004 with 80K miles. This was my first Roadmaster wagon. I've had 5 total because I really like them. (I won't try to sell you on their virtues; I assume if you're here, you already know.) I'm selling because I have 3 currently and need to thin the herd. I'm selling this one because the '94s have smaller mirrors than my '95 & '96 and they're both maroon which is my favorite color for these wagons. This car is in excellent mechanical condition and looks very good for a 20-year-old car, but it has a few flaws:
Having owned 5 of these wagons, I know what goes wrong, and I have fixed all the usual Roadmaster wagon flaws:
This wagon has the limited slip rear end (G80 on the Service Parts ID label). In addition, this wagon has had the following major work done recently (see scanned service records):
Always used Mobil1 full synthetic. This car's ready for another 100K miles easy. See twice as many photos, the SPI label, and big-ticket service records at: picasaweb.google.com/101120692823414891191/94Roadmaster The $3K reserve is very attractive considering the $3100 in recent service and these recent eBay sales (search for the auction numbers to verify):
This is the part of the auction text where there's usually a bunch of vaguely threatening language about your bid being a contract, and ask any questions before you bid, and stuff like that. But here's my deal: buying a car online is hard. I've bought and sold several over the years. I take lots of pics and describe every flaw. If you're near Seattle, please come drive this car. You are welcome to have it inspected by a mechanic. If you win this auction and for whatever reason do not like this car when you see it in person and drive it, then you can have your money back, including deposit. No hassle, no negative feedback. The fault will be entirely mine for failing to represent the car accurately. Sound fair? If you will be shipping the car, I'm home during the day and can assist your shipper. If you want to fly in and drive home, I can pick you up at the airport; I live about 10 miles from Sea-Tac. Any questions, don't hesitate. Bill |

Kia Telluride vs Buick Enclave Luggage Test | What actually fits behind that third row?
Fri, Jan 10 2020So, you want to buy a three-row crossover. Before plunking down $40,000 on a new sport utility vehicle, might we dissuade you with the prospect of minivan ownership? The Pacifica Hybrid, perhaps ... no? Fine. Good thing crossovers (especially the Telluride and comparable Palisade) are so nice to drive these days. We’ll assume you want the big three-row crossover, as you intend to seat folks in all three rows. Unfortunately, raising that third row reduces the luggage area from cavernous to crawl space. ItÂ’s rather devastating from a pure numbers perspective to the two models we have today. The 2019 Buick Enclave goes from a monstrous 58 cubic-feet with the second-row in place down to 23.6 cubic-feet (which along with the nearly identical 2020 Chevrolet Traverse is still best-in-class). Meanwhile, the 2020 Kia Telluride takes a similar hit, going from 46 cubic-feet down to 21 cubic-feet. Just looking at the numbers, it would seem that the EnclaveÂ’s big advantage all but disappears with the third row up, boasting just 2.6 cubic-feet of storage more than the Telluride. But as West Coast Editor James Riswick has discovered in the numerous luggage tests he's conducted, the numbers don't always tell the whole story. Let's see how the Enclave and Telluride compare when you actually put things inside. Boom. The Enclave swallows all of the test luggage we have for it without any fuss. The distance between the back of the seats to the hatch opening is enough to fit our full-size suitcase horizontally, making it easy to stack every other bag around it. It even fits below the seatbacks, so the driver will have an uninhibited view out the rear of the vehicle. At our Michigan HQ, our test luggage consists of the following pieces: 28-inch upright suitcase, 24-inch upright suitcase, 19-inch upright suitcase, two small tote bags and one backpack. ItÂ’s likely enough luggage for a quick weekend getaway with the family, given there are no strollers involved. As we attempted to pack it all into the Telluride, weÂ’re glad we didnÂ’t have anything else. The loss of 2.6 cubic-feet of space was indeed felt much harder than what it looks like on paper. We knew we were in trouble when the 28-inch suitcase didnÂ’t fit along the floor as it did so neatly in the Enclave. We were forced to stack it up next to the rear seats, which left it sitting rather tall back there. As a result, the other suitcases didnÂ’t have a neat or convenient place to go.
J.D. Power study sees new car dependability problems increase for first time since 1998
Wed, 12 Feb 2014For the first time since 1998, J.D. Power and Associates says its data shows that the average number of problems per 100 cars has increased. The finding is the result of the firm's much-touted annual Vehicle Dependability Study, which charts incidents of problems in new vehicle purchases over three years from 41,000 respondents.
Looking at first-owner cars from the 2011 model year, the study found an average of 133 problems per 100 cars (PP100, for short), up 6 percent from 126 PP100 in last year's study, which covered 2010 model-year vehicles. Disturbingly, the bulk of the increase is being attributed to engine and transmission problems, with a 6 PP100 boost.
Interestingly, JDP notes that "the decline in quality is particularly acute for vehicles with four-cylinder engines, where problem levels increase by nearly 10 PP100." Its findings also noticed that large diesel engines also tended to be more problematic than most five- and six-cylinder engines.
