Up for sale is my almost showroom new 1996 Buick Roadmaster Limited Sedan with only 68,000 original miles. The car is the collectors edition as are all 1996 Roadmasters. The collectors edition badging is a 1996 only designation saluting the final year for the traditional full size, rear wheel drive, body on frame cars from General Motors. This car of course shared its underpinnings with the legendary Impala SS and Cadillac Fleetwoods of the same year. The engine is indeed the 350 cubic inch, 5.7 Liter LT1 motor found in the Impala SS, the Camaro Z28, and most importantly the Corvette. The motor makes 260 horse power and a whopping 335 foot pounds of torque, a torque figure that took the GT mustang until 2011 to surpass! The engine is mated to the 4 speed 4L60E automatic transmission which is also the same unit found in the Corvette. The rear axel is the indestructible GM 8.5 inch 10 bolt with highway and MPG friendly 2.56 gear ratio and a very rare factory posi-traction option (RPO code G80).

The car is all but immaculate, it really has to be seen to be believed, garaged since day one in the original owners home. I STILL HAVE THE ORIGINAL TITLE ISSUED IN 1995 when the car was sold brand new. I purchased the vehicle roughly 6 months ago with intentions of driving it year round. The car however is simply too nice to subject to the harsh winters in Massachusetts. I've had tons of these cars and it simply is the nicest one I've ever seen in person since I purchased my first in 2007. The interior is in as new condition. I mean there is not a tear in a seat or even any cracking. The seats are absolutely perfect which is impossible to find on heated leather. There is absolutely no sun fade anywhere, the dash, the trim, the paint or the bumpers. All of the grey plastic trim on the faux chrome exterior trim is perfectly intact, not faded or shrunk. Everything in the car works correctly including the CD player, all electrics, I've cold AC, automatic headlamps, the extremely rare factory trunk pull down, heated seats, and most importantly all windows function and none ever fall off their tracks. The car has almost every option available, and is in like new condition in the extremely desirable triple burgundy color combo, with incredibly low mileage at only 68k. Don't pass this one up as I really think it may be the cleanest interior and body of any Roadmaster for sale in the country.

Call or Text anytime 978 875 0425 for questions or if you want to see the vehicle.

Lexus tops JD Power Vehicle Dependability Study again, Buick bests Toyota

Wed, Feb 25 2015

It shouldn't surprise anyone, but Lexus has once again taken the top spot in JD Power's Vehicle Dependability Study. That'd be the Japanese luxury brand's fourth straight year at the top of table. The big news, though, is the rise of Buick. General Motor's near-premium brand beat out Toyota to take second place, with 110 problems per 100 vehicles compared to Toyota's 111 problems. Lexus owners only reported 89 problems per 100 vehicles. Besides Buick's three-position jump, Scion enjoyed a major improvement, jumping 13 positions from 2014. Ram and Mitsubishi made big gains, as well, moving up 11 and 10 positions, respectively. In terms of individual segments, GM and Toyota both excelled, taking home seven segment awards each. The study wasn't good news for all involved, though. A number of popular automakers finished below the industry average of 147 problems per 100 vehicles, including Subaru, (157PP100), Volkswagen (165PP100), Ford/Hyundai (188PP100 each) and Mini (193PP100). The biggest losers (by a tremendous margin, we might add) were Land Rover and Fiat, recording 258 and 273 problems per 100 vehicles. The next closest brand was Jeep, with 197PP100. While the Vehicle Dependability Study uses the same measurement system as the Initial Quality Survey, the two metrics analyze very different things. The VDS looks at problems experienced by original owners of model year 2012 vehicles over the past 12 months, while the oft-quoted IQS focuses on problems in the first 90 days of new-vehicle ownership. Like the IQS, though, the VDS has a rather broad definition of what a problem is. Because of that, a low score from JD Power is no guarantee of extreme unreliability, so much as just poor design. In this most recent study, the two most reported problems focused on Bluetooth connectivity and the voice-command systems. The former leaves plenty of room for user error due to poor design (particularly true of the Bluetooth systems on the low-scoring Fords, Volkswagens and Subarus), while the second is something JD Power has already confirmed as being universally terrible. That makes means that while these studies are important, they shouldn't be taken as gospel when it comes to automotive reliability.

Buick Blackhawk concept headed to auction block again

Tue, Jan 27 2015

While the collector car auction market is often criticized for inflating the price of vintage models out of the realm of affordability for many buyers, these sales do give us an opportunity to look back on some of the beautiful, rare designs of the past. Just take a glance at this Buick Blackhawk concept with a shape right out of the '40s or '50s. Despite the heritage styling, it was pieced together from older pieces for Buick to celebrate itself in the early 2000s With styling inspiration from the classic Buick Y-Job concept car, the Blackhawk mixes actual vintage components to create its curvaceous shape. However, the power retractable top is thoroughly modern being made from carbon fiber and stows in the deck lid when the roof needs to go down. After so much work on the outside, the Buick has something equally surprising under the hood. It's a 1970 455-cubic-inch (7.5-liter) V8 GS Stage III V8 with a claimed 463 horsepower and 510 pound-feet of torque, and for easy cruising the mill is linked to a four-speed automatic. Built in-house by Buick, the Blackhawk was once part of the General Motors Heritage Fleet, but the automaker sold it off in 2009 at the Barrett-Jackson auction in Scottsdale, AZ, along with many other members of the collection. The concept went for $522,500 after the buyer's premium, according to the auctioneers. Now, it's crossing the block again with no reserve as part of RM Auctions sale of the Andrews Collection on May 2, 2015, in Fort Worth, TX. The 75-car auction also includes highlights like one of seven 1962 Ferrari 400 Superamerica SWB Cabriolet models bodied by Pininfarina.

Buick Riviera Concept debuts in China

Fri, 19 Apr 2013

It's nighttime in China, and Buick has just concluded an evening event the day before the first - and only - press day of the Shanghai Motor Show. The star of this evening's party was the Buick Riviera concept vehicle, a plug-in electric hybrid coupe that the automaker says gives a glimpse at its future design direction, not to mention resurrecting some nomenclature from the brand's history that includes a similarly named concept from 2007.
The shape of the Riviera is said to be inspired by water. While the traditional Buick "waterfall" grille is present, the front end gains a more aggressive note thanks to what appear to be vertical air inlets below each headlight.
As for the concept's drivetrain, Buick says it uses General Motors' new dual-mode wireless plug-in hybrid electric vehicle propulsion system, or W-PHEV for short. The keyword there is 'wireless,' as the Riviera can charge its onboard battery packs with a traditional cable or wirelessly via a "sensory recharge panel" underneath the car.
