95 woody station wagon 67k Limited Leather 3 seat 5.7L LT1 V8 No Reserve, image 1

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.

Buick to kill Verano as early as 2017

Mon, May 9 2016

The Buick Verano's days are allegedly numbered. Citing unnamed sources, Automotive News is reporting that Buick will kill its Delta-platform-based sedan. The company offered the typical "no comment." According to AN, Buick is expecting 70 percent of its sales to come from the Encore, Envision, and Enclave once the Envision goes on sale. And it doesn't take a professor of economics to recognize that when half the vehicles you build account for just 30 percent of the sales, it's time to trim. But the case for killing the Verano is a weird one, because the problem isn't a lack of demand. Struggling sales might be the reason to kill a car, but the Verano is – and has consistently been Â– Buick's second best-selling sedan. It's beaten the slightly larger, more expensive Regal by at least 12,000 units in each of the last four years. Hell, in 2013, Buick sold 45,000 Veranos to fewer than 19,000 Regals. So why not kill the Regal? Well, the Verano's raison d'etre is irrelevant today. Buick launched its smallest sedan at a time when premium compact four-doors weren't a thing and gas prices were high enough that consumers were still hesitant to tie themselves to a CUV's fuel bill. And while it was roughly the same size as the Chevrolet Cruze that it shared GM's Delta platform with, it had enough unique equipment to stand apart and warrant its price premium. Today, fuel prices are cheap and consumers are flocking to crossovers while Buick is stuck sharing the premium compact pie with much more prestigious names ( Mercedes-Benz and Audi). And because it's sharing showroom space with the super-popular Encore, even the Verano's affordable pricing has become a liability. Today, a lightly equipped Verano is the same price as a base Encore, and they offer broadly similar features (rear-view cameras, a seven-inch touchscreen with Intellilink, Bluetooth, etc.). And if the Encore is too small, there's probably a GMC Terrain sitting in the same showroom, offering more utility and equal equipment to the Verano for a similar price. As one dealer told AN, "For not much more money, customers can get an SUV." Killing the Verano might risk 30,000 to 40,000 sales, but it's a move that proves Buick has tremendous confidence in its CUV lineup Â– clearly the company thinks the Encore can do the job of luring customers into showrooms. AN's sources claim the Verano will survive through 2017, so we'll be waiting a few years to find out if that faith is misplaced. Related Video:

2019 Buick LaCrosse Sport Touring isn't that sporty

Mon, Jul 2 2018

The 2019 Buick LaCrosse Sport Touring is presumably a new, sportier version of Buick's large sedan. And on the surface, it does look more exciting. It has less chrome trim than its counterparts, the grille gets a body color surround and a black wire mesh insert. It has a simple little spoiler at the back, 19-inch wheels, and the all-important badging. We can't imagine Ford is thrilled at the use of the "ST" nomenclature on display at the back, though. Unfortunately, Buick hasn't really done anything to actually make this car sportier than other LaCrosse sedans. It has the same 3.6-liter V6 found in other versions making the same 310 horsepower and 268 pound-feet of torque. That power goes through the same nine-speed automatic as the others, too. Additionally, the Sport Touring is only available with front-wheel drive. Still, if you like the style, and the LaCrosse's standard performance is suitable to you, you'll want to know how much it costs. Base price is $41,220. You'll also have a choice of five colors: white, black, red, and two kinds of silver. And if the LaCrosse ST isn't sporty enough for you, you might want to check out the Regal GS. It has the same engine, but with a bit more torque, all-wheel drive, is in a smaller body, and has hatchback versatility.

GM recalling 2013 Buick LaCrosse, Cadillac SRX over transmission software

Thu, 21 Mar 2013

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued recalls for the 2013 Buick LaCrosse and 2013 Cadillac SRX due to a problem with the software for the transmission controller. On about 27,000 SRX and LaCrosse models, the transmission could accidentally be shifted to Sport mode, which would reduce the amount of engine braking drivers experience.
NHTSA says this could increase the risk of a crash, but, fortunately, the required fix is simply an update to the software.
While we're on the subject of General Motors vehicle recalls, a small number (48) of compressed natural gas versions of the 2011 Chevrolet Express are also being recalled for a potential risk of fire or explosion. Yikes. Both official recall notices are posted below.
