For bid is a 1995 Buick Roadmaster Limited Estate Wagon with 67k miles.

Highlights: Tow package, 2.93 posi, Class 3 hitch with wiring, GM CD player. Limited package includes leather seats with power lumber and tilt. Good maintenance - recent full tuneup + new rear shocks + AC compressor and dryer. Only aftermarket parts are the hitch, Koni adjustable front shocks and brand new top quality tint.

History: I am the third owner; the first owners were snowbirds in Winter Haven FL. They sold the car in 2008 with 31k on it to a collector in the Atlanta, GA area who took great care of it and used it as his road trip car. He sold it to me in the fall of 2012 with 63k on it. He took meticulous care of it – stored in his garage, under a car cover, with the liftgate glass up to preserve the struts. At 40k he had a full tuneup done (optispark, plugs & wires, water pump), and had the AC compressor and dryer replaced at the GM dealer. He also had the rear air shocks replaced with GM factory airshocks and replaced the fronts with Koni adjustables so he could “get a slight amount more damping than stock but still match the rears.” The rear axle fluid and limited slip additive was also replaced at 40k and the transmission was flushed and filter changed at 50k.
I have put just shy of 4000 miles on the car, with the majority of that being several road trips. After I bought the car, it was driven to my western VA where I stored it about a year, then finally drove it to upstate NY where it spent one summer. Before the summer was over, I relocated to Huntsville, AL and had the car transported here. I drove the wagon up to a show in Louisville KY and unfortunately we got caught in the rain on the way home. Other than that the car hasn’t seen rain since I’ve had it. I added a Buick CD player which works great. I keep it stored in my climate-controlled garage with ethanol-free gas and take it out now and then to stretch its legs.
Maintenance-wise, I had the windows tinted to protect the interior using high quality stuff from Johnson Films, applied by the premier tinter in town who has done four of my other cars with no bubbles, fading or purpling. The rear window was done in one piece. I also changed the oil, greased the front suspension and had the car aligned. I also installed a new battery – if you notice, the original battery blanket is still in place. I searched 6 months before I bought this car. Please see all the pictures – it is one of the nicest you will find.

NO RESERVE.

Condition Report

ENGINE: Runs on all eight cylinders without smoking, missing or knocking. Engine runs at proper temperature. New battery & good charging system. Starts easy and runs strong.

TRANSMISSION: Performs beautifully. Engages gears quickly and shifts through all forward gears and reverse with good downshift and torque converter performance. Clean fluid with no burn odors.

EXTERIOR: Body: Body is in very nice shape with two small dimples on the hood and one behind the rear wheel on the bottom. Two minor scuffs on the right front and rear corners – see pics. No body rust ever. There was one accident report, in 1998, with a bicycle according to the previous owner. Very good body overall. Paint: Paint is nice and shiny everywhere. All original paint except a few touch up spots as pictured on hood. Above average. Wood: Upper wood trim is all original, the only peeling of note is on the front fender spears as pictured. The side panel fake wood is in excellent shape with one mar on the RR door and a small bubble just above the chrome on the RF door. Otherwise, very nice and above average - still shiny and clear with no significant sun fading. Other: Lower stainless bright trim is very nice with a couple of dings here and there. Rubber side trim is all there and all original. Undercarriage is extremely nice and all original, typical of a southeastern US / Florida car with very slight paint peeling on the fuel tank straps - see the pics. Underhood sheet metal, tailgate sill and door jambs have no rust as seen in pics. Aluminum wheels are in excellent shape.

INTERIOR: Interior of the car is in very nice shape as you'd expect of the low mileage. The only complaints are a small tear in the center console rear, a tiny tear on the passenger side seat control surround, and a small chip missing from the driver’s door panel handle insert (see pics). Dash has no cracks, rest of leather seating areas are in great shape, cargo deck carpet in great shape with no stains but the very edge corner is cracked. Steering wheel is in very nice shape and is original – no paint. Carpet is new and all four factory floormats are included. No smoke or pet odors. Very nice interior overall.

ELECTRICAL STUFF: All inspection items work (lights, horn, wipers, etc.) ALL power options work reliably, including power windows, power locks, power seats with power recliners, lumbar motors work but don’t seem to adjust the lumbar, hot heat and cold A/C, tilt, cruise, am/fm stereo cassette CD, power antenna, rear window release, rear wiper, keyless entry, twilight sentinel, intermittent wipers, and rear defroster.

DRIVEABILITY: Drives beautifully as you'd expect of the low miles. Steering is tight, alignment is good, suspension is tight. Brakes work well with good linings. Tires have about 50% tread remaining on a matched set of General Altimax radials with the rears having a slight amount of inner edge wear (hence why I had an alignment done). Solid stock, quiet exhaust with no leaks. Check engine light is not lit (except at start up as it should.)

I’ve had four Roadmaster wagons now, and this one is by far the nicest one I’ve ever owned and probably one of the nicest ones you’ll find. I would not hesitate to drive it across country tomorrow.

Short version terms: Small non-refundable deposit as listed (but fast) by Paypal within 24 hours. Balance due in 7 days by cash in person, wire transfer, or Wells Fargo cashier's check. Will meet you or your transporter at my location by appointment after 6 pm weekdays or anytime weekends. No administrative fee on this auction. Any other costs - tax, emissions inspection, registration, shipping, etc. are buyer's responsibility - see full terms. You have 30 days to pick up, otherwise your deposit is forfeited. WILL PICK YOU UP AT THE HUNTSVILLE, AL INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT weekday evenings or any time weekends. Inspections are strongly encouraged, but by appointment only - please email or call. By bidding, you agree you are satisfied with the item description. Note that pickup times are by appointment only also - just call! Prepaid vehicles scheduled for transport can be picked up any time with at least 24 business hours' notice - have your driver call me. I'm happy to drive the car to a nearby large parking lot for easier truck loading.

A car writer's year in new vehicles [w/video]

Thu, Dec 18 2014

Christmas is only a week away. The New Year is just around the corner. As 2014 draws to a close, I'm not the only one taking stock of the year that's we're almost shut of. Depending on who you are or what you do, the end of the year can bring to mind tax bills, school semesters or scheduling dental appointments. For me, for the last eight or nine years, at least a small part of this transitory time is occupied with recalling the cars I've driven over the preceding 12 months. Since I started writing about and reviewing cars in 2006, I've done an uneven job of tracking every vehicle I've been in, each year. Last year I made a resolution to be better about it, and the result is a spreadsheet with model names, dates, notes and some basic facts and figures. Armed with this basic data and a yen for year-end stories, I figured it would be interesting to parse the figures and quantify my year in cars in a way I'd never done before. The results are, well, they're a little bizarre, honestly. And I think they'll affect how I approach this gig in 2015. {C} My tally for the year is 68 cars, as of this writing. Before the calendar flips to 2015 it'll be as high as 73. Let me give you a tiny bit of background about how automotive journalists typically get cars to test. There are basically two pools of vehicles I drive on a regular basis: media fleet vehicles and those available on "first drive" programs. The latter group is pretty self-explanatory. Journalists are gathered in one location (sometimes local, sometimes far-flung) with a new model(s), there's usually a day of driving, then we report back to you with our impressions. Media fleet vehicles are different. These are distributed to publications and individual journalists far and wide, and the test period goes from a few days to a week or more. Whereas first drives almost always result in a piece of review content, fleet loans only sometimes do. Other times they serve to give context about brands, segments, technology and the like, to editors and writers. So, adding up the loans I've had out of the press fleet and things I've driven at events, my tally for the year is 68 cars, as of this writing. Before the calendar flips to 2015, it'll be as high as 73. At one of the buff books like Car and Driver or Motor Trend, reviewers might rotate through five cars a week, or more. I know that number sounds high, but as best I can tell, it's pretty average for the full-time professionals in this business.

Buick Envision Plus is a seven-seater tweener developed for China

Tue, Apr 20 2021

Buick has filled the gap separating the Envision and the Enclave with a new crossover named Envision Plus. Launched at the Shanghai auto show, the three-row people-mover is scheduled to go on sale in China later in 2021. The plus-sized Envision stretches 190.7 inches long, 74.1 inches wide, and 66.7 inches tall, figures that make it around eight inches longer and two inches taller than the regular Envision. It's also a full 14 inches shorter, four inches narrower, and three inches lower than the Enclave, which is the biggest crossover in the Buick range. Designers didn't settle for stretching the Envision's wheelbase. They gave the Plus a more upright front end characterized by a taller grille, a flatter and longer roofline, and a redesigned rear end accented by a strip of bright trim that connects the lights. Only photos of the upscale Avenir trim (shown above) have been published so far. Images of the cabin are not available yet. We expect the Plus offers an interior close to the standard Envision's — from the driver's point of view, at least. The biggest difference is that the longer Envision lives up to its name by letting motorists take more gear or kids along for the ride thanks to a more spacious trunk and third-row seats. Power for the Envision Plus comes from a turbocharged, 2.0-liter EcoTec four-cylinder engine fitted with 48-volt mild-hybrid technology. Bolted to a nine-speed automatic transmission, the turbo-four is the same basic engine found in the American-spec Envision, where it develops 228 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, but figures for the Plus weren't released. Front- and all-wheel-drive models will presumably be available. Buick will release pricing information closer to the model's on-sale date. As of writing, the Envision Plus has only been announced for China, where it will be built, but unverified reports claim it will arrive in American showrooms before the end of 2021. We've reached out to the company, and we'll update this story if we learn more. 2021 Buick Verano Pro GS View 5 Photos What else did Buick show in Shanghai? Buick no longer sells sedans in America, but it remains present in that segment on the Chinese market. In addition to the Envision Plus, it unveiled a model named Verano Pro developed specifically for China, built locally, and aimed at relatively young buyers. At launch, motorists will be asked to choose between the regular sedan and a sportier-looking variant that wears the storied GS emblem.
