NO RESERVE AUCTION! Selling my 1996 Buick Roadmaster Station Wagon with 178,562 MILES, originally from Pennsylvania. Great running LT1 engine (no smoke or substantial leaks, never have to top up the oil), no transmission leaks, shifts flawlessly, well maintained and mechanically sound, this car drives beautifully. Body is fair and it needs exhaust work but the tires are nearly new and the brakes were done not long ago. Other flaws include a driver's side broken mirror assembly, the power antenna no longer works (still receives local FM stations), cassette player has issues, passenger side rear window comes off the track, the power tailgate window release works when it feels like it and the A/C no longer blows cold. The interior is in very nice shape for its age, no tears or holes in the leather and it has the 3rd seat in back. This wagon has the optional towing package with transmission cooler, heavy duty brakes and radiator, all season radials with less than 5,000 miles on them. Also included are winter rims and tires with lots of tread left, original full size spare and jack. Clear title, Ontario seller's package and service records since I bought the car 8 years ago come with the car.

For a nominal investment, this great wagon has lots of life left. It needs some body work, mainly on the passenger side rear quarter and I got an estimate of about $1,500 (parts and labor) to replace the dual exhaust. The driver side rear view mirror assembly also has to be replaced, currently it's being held in place with tape. Some rust is showing under the driver side carpet but the floor seems solid. Please email any questions or call me at 705-790-4004 for questions or to arrange a test drive before bidding. 

THIS IS A NO RESERVE AUCTION AND THIS WAGON IS BEING SOLD AS IS, WINNING BIDDER OWNS IT! NON REFUNDABLE DEPOSIT OF $200.00 US VIA PAYPAL IS DUE WITHIN 48 HOURS OF AUCTION'S END WITH REMAINDER TO BE PAID BY PAYPAL MONEY ORDER OR US CASH AND VEHICLE PICKED UP WITHIN 7 DAYS OF AUCTION'S END. IF YOU DO NOT HAVE THE FUNDS, PLEASE DO NOT BID. ASK ALL QUESTIONS AND/OR ARRANGE TO VIEW AND DRIVE THIS CAR BEFORE YOU BID!

GM recalling nearly 4,000 vehicles over airbag concerns

Thu, 31 Jan 2013

Four different General Motors vehicles from the 2012 model year are being recalled over a potential airbag issue. The driver's side airbag shorting bar in the 2012 Buick Verano and 2012 Chevrolet Camaro, Cruze and Sonic might make contact with the airbag terminals, even during a crash. If so, the airbag won't deploy when it should, possibly increasing injury to the driver.
The recall is expected to begin on February 13 for the 3,896 units that might be affected. GM will notify owners who can then take their vehicles to dealers to have the airbag coil replaced. A bulletin from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration below has more info.

Opel to be shuttered in China, but will restart Buick production in Germany

Fri, 28 Mar 2014

Opel, General Motors' troubled German brand continues its quest to reinvent itself and find solid profitability. In the course of that metamorphosis, the company has a bit of good news/bad news today. The good news is, it will once again begin screwing together Buick models for the American market. The bad news, though, is that it's being shut down in yet another country, China.
Let's start with the good news. The last vehicle Opel's Ruesselsheim factory built for the North American market was the early run of the then-new Regal, which is based heavily on the Opel Insignia. Production ran for just over two years, from 2009 to 2011, before moving production to Oshawa, Ontario.
Now, thanks to a 245-million-euro investment (just over $336 million), Opel will kick off production of a unspecified model for the US in the "second half of the decade," according to Automotive News. According to Opel, the new model will be announced before the end of 2014. You can begin your speculation about this new model down in Comments (we're wagering it'll be the Cascada convertible, sold here under the Buick umbrella).

Refreshed 2019 Buick Envision gets sharper edges, optional nine-speed transmission

Fri, Feb 23 2018

After 18 months on the market in the United States, the Buick Envision took its place as the third-best-selling vehicle among Buick's eight models, slotting in behind the Encore and Enclave. January sales this year jumped 13.7-percent year-over-year, just a few hundred behind the Enclave. Now, the Chinese-made compact SUV gets a modest makeover, but buyers of the 2019 Buick Envision will need to reach up into the upper trims to access the best of what's new. The big mechanical upgrade comes with the option of GM's Hydra-Matic 9T50 nine-speed automatic instead of standard the six-speed. However, that appears to be limited to just two of the five available Envision trims: Premium I and Premium II. The base, Preferred, and Essence models stick with the six-speed only. Design changes center around the front and rear fascias. The grille motif switches to a be-winged Buick emblem - in tri-color spec, not monochrome - over the previous waterfall, matching that of the sibling crossovers. The lower front fascia gets redrawn, with the fog lights at the edges now sitting in square recesses with reworked chrome trim and sharper edges on the bumper. Premium trims move up from HID projectors to bi-LED headlights, while the other three trims shed their composite halogens for HID lights. According to the 2019 order guide, Ebony seats with Dark Plum interior accents leave the menu, replaced by Dark Galvanized leather seats with Ebony trim. White interior lighting will illuminate the instrument panel and door trim, replacing Ice Blue, and comfort/convenience tweaks come in the form of wireless phone charging, an cabin air ionizer and a button to shut off the stop-start system. The latter would be a noteworthy upgrade as it's been a common complaint logged against so-equipped GM vehicles. In back, design elements get sharper edges, and the taillights switch to slimmer LED units. Designers have hidden the single exhaust outlet on the lower three trims with the base, 197-horsepower 2.5-liter engine. It appears that choosing the optional, 252-hp 2.0-liter engine will be identified by dual rectangular exhaust finishers instead of the round tips of previous years. Exterior colors hold steady at six, but Midnight Amethyst Metallic gives way to Satin Steel Gray Metallic, and the current 19-inch wheels get replaced with two new designs. The 2019 Buick Envision has already gone on sale in China, and should reach U.S. dealers in April. Related Video:
