DASH LIGHTS WORK SOMETIMES, BUT GO IN AND OUT

GAS GAUGE IS MESSED UP-SOMETIMES WORKS, SOMETIMES DOES NOT

I reserve the right to take this listing down if I get an offer and I accept it.

I bought this car from a private seller about a year ago. I love this era and this model type, but I really wanted a convertible at the time, but I jumped in and bought this one. The interior is brown leather/ cloth and brown carpet. Radio is aftermarket (but does not fit very well and is loose in the hole). The mileage is approximately around the 70,000 miles mark. I have the original window sticker and other original booklet and documentation. V8, 350 engine, 2 barrel. When I bought it, the headliner was new but the seem split during the summer because I left it out in the sun when it was hot (I know, bad on me!) but I think it would be an easy fix. The interior is allegedly original by the guy I bought it from, but it does look a little too good to be original. Other folks have looked at it and suggested it has been redone. I have driven this thing to Nashville (from Alabama) and back in the winter, so it is a good driver. However, recently there was some smoking going on and it seemed there was some oil leaking. I had a mechanic look at it, and he said that there was a screw loose and oil was seeping through the seal. He tightened the screw and said I just needed to pressure wash off the excess oil and the smoking would stop. I haven't done that yet-I was afraid to put water near the engine parts. Overall, he gave me a clean bill of health on the engine. When I bought the car, it would take a minute to start it because you had to pump the gas twice and really feather it and give it time to idle first. My mechanic corrected that a lot by replacing the spring switch for the throttle. Still, as with any cars of this age and era, you have to feather the gas and "learn" how to start and get it going. The car has probably been repainted, according to the mechanic, due to overspray in the trunk. There are a couple of lines of rust-colored stain on the sides -where when it rains, the water comes out from under the top on that side where a small, quarter-inch size rust spot is right underneath the roof cover (see pics). I think it would be easy to buff it out. Any other questions just email me. I love the car, but its time to move on and find a convertible version. There are small flecks, dings, and rust spots as you would expect. Images should make them clear.

RESERVE IS SET at $4,500 because that is how much I still owe the bank. I had financed it for $6,000.

Buick Envision CUV launches in China, is America next?

Fri, 29 Aug 2014

Buick is launching its new midsize Envision crossover in China at the Chengdu Motor Show, where it will slot between the subcompact Encore and larger Enclave. While it might be hard to muster too much excitement about a Chinese-market crossover, don't completely ignore this one. There's a very good chance it could be on sale in North America to fill the same hole in the brand's lineup over here, possibly as a 2016 model.
We recently spied the Envision completely undisguised as it was arriving at the Chengdu show for its debut. The CUV still looks like a stretched Encore from some front angles, but that isn't necessarily a bad thing. It's got a similar oversized grille, hood vents (presumably faux) and large greenhouse as its little brother. Where the midsize CUV differs is its prominent crease running down the side and the different rear treatment, with wing-shaped trim cutting into the taillights.
The interior looks like a pretty nice place to spend time, too, with a predictable mix of leather, wood and metal, and it should be quiet in there with its active noise cancelation system. Infotainment is provided by an eight-inch touchscreen with a touchpad and voice controls.

Weekly Recap: Volkswagen moves forward under Muller

Sat, Sep 26 2015

Most stunning was the speed of it all. On the morning of September 18, Volkswagen AG stood atop the automotive world. It was profitable and sold more cars than Toyota and General Motors, its two main rivals for global supremacy. By nightfall, the company would be embroiled in scandal. Revelations the German auto giant cheated on diesel emissions testing in the United States reverberated from Washington to Wolfsburg, Germany. What started out as a problem with 482,000 VWs and Audis in the US exploded into an international scandal. Millions of vehicles have the rigged software, meaning VW broke environmental rules as its cars spewed pollutants all over the world. The fallout began immediately. Volkswagen CEO Martin Winterkorn – one of the most respected and capable executives in the business Â– apologized on Sunday and Tuesday. On Wednesday he resigned. As the week progressed, the company's stock took a beating and credit agencies threatened to drop their ratings. VW dealers and owners said they felt betrayed. The automaker hired a law firm that defended BP after the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. The EPA is already extending its testing procedures to look for "defeat devices" like the ones used by Volkswagen. On Friday the company announced a major restructuring. Matthias Muller, Porsche's chief for the last five years, took over as CEO of Volkswagen and is charged with picking up the pieces of a shattered company facing regulatory action and lawsuits. With GM, Toyota, and Takata scandals still fresh, Volkswagen will likely experience unprecedented levels of scrutiny. Additionally, VW's markets in the United States, Canada, and Mexico will be combined into a North American region under the leadership of former Skoda boss Winfried Vahland, though US chief executive Michael Horn will stay on. The company is also realigning its brands by specialty and streamlining its board. Firings, government action, restructurings, and international outrage Â– things that usually build up over months or years Â– all occurred in about a week. With dizzying speed, Volkswagen's future has changed dramatically. It all happened, it's still happening, so fast. OTHER NEWS & NOTES 2016 Buick Cascada to start at $33,990 Buick hasn't made a convertible in 25 years. That's a whole person who can drink plus a kindergartner. So it's been awhile. Enter the 2016 Buick Cascada. It has top-shelf Opel engineering, slinky design, and it's reasonably priced.
