1992 Buick Century Custom Sedan 4-door 3.3l - Dallas Texas Area Pick-up * * * on 2040-cars
For Bids ; Local Pickup Only in Dallas / East Texas Area ( Terrell Texas 75160 ) ; 1992 Buick Century 4 Door Sedan - The following Conditions have developed over the time since my sister gave me this car in 2004 (car originally belonged to her husband, an insurance adjuster who bought in new in 1992, as far as i know it has not been in any accidents or has any major issues that can't be fixed) ; * Engine Runs Okay Only on a Fuel Line Bypass - Needs Fuel Filter Or Fuel Pump Replacement - Engine Ran Okay last year until the fuel line ethaned up / * Has Open Electrical Circuit - Needs Windshield Wiper Electric Motor And Or Relay Replacement to operate normally without the check engine lamp / * Needs A/C Compressor Replacement (R12 to R134a Conversion Procedure) for the upcoming summer heat / * Needs Exterior Window Rubber Around Windows Replaced to protect the electric door locks from moisture. I believe all these issues can be taken care of for a total of under $650, i've gotten several phone quotes from mechanics to arrive at this estimate. The car has relatively low milage considering model year (131,788 miles) and engine and transmission perform well when fuel is present. There is NO odor associated with the car, inside or out, please look at the pics to see how well the interior and exterior condition is. One huge plus on this car is the roomy spacious interior, the engine compartment has a lot of workroom and the trunk has ample room for suitcases or groceries, they don't make 'em this roomy anymore, really if i had the spare cash to fix this car myself i would. The trunk is roomy, and the engine area has plenty of work area around it too. The interior plastic needs a little TLC with a bottle of armor all. The window glass is free of any pits or cracks, it would be a bonus if the windows were tinted. Exterior Paint still looks very good, might need only a small bottle of touch up white to look flawless. One wheelcover is missing on the right front passenger side, the tires still have 9/16th tread left, tires have hardly any mileage on them ... I shined it up a few days ago and it still looks pretty sharp, it would make a perfect fixer upper car for a knowledgable car guy. PayPal Payment deposit of $250 is due within 72 hours of auction close, at Pick Up Payment method is flexible; check, cash or postal money order acceptable / or full payment can be made thru PayPal prior to vehicle pick-up. Thanks for looking!

Bob Seger's Detroit Made music video is an homage to the Motor City
Tue, 16 Sep 2014At this point, Bob Seger feels like the living embodiment of old-school rock 'n' roll. The Michigan native has been strumming out classic records like Night Moves for decades, and he just released a new single called Detroit Made. It sounds like a future staple of just about every classic car show within the next few years, and the video is dedicated to the Motor City, past and future.
Detroit Made is all about cruising in the city in a classic Buick Electra 225, perhaps better known as a "deuce and a quarter." It's straight-down-the-middle rock and could just as easily be from a decades-old Seger album as something new.
The video for the new single mixes shots of American classics cruising along Woodward Avenue with a contemporary look at the city. Sure, there are the well-known dilapidated buildings falling into rubble, but the people there aren't just letting the city die. Other parts show the attempts to clean things up and rebuild. Check out the video if you need a few minutes of old school rockin' in your life.
Autotrader picks best cars for 2015's college grads
Sun, May 31 2015Summer is here and the school season is winding to a close. That means millions of students will be graduating college and (hopefully) entering the workforce. For many, that will mean buying a new car suited to the new stage in life into which they will now be embarking. That can be a bewildering choice, especially for someone who's never bought a car before. Fortunately, Autotrader has come up with a short list of recommended cars – new and used – which it recommends to the graduating class of 2015. Among the site's top choices are some compelling crossovers and hatchbacks, including the Buick Encore, Chevy Trax, and Jeep Renegade, as well as the Honda Fit, Nissan Versa Note, Mazda3 and Fiat 500. Can't stretch to buying new, or don't see the point? Autotrader has also identified the Toyota Camry, Ford Fusion and even the Lexus IS as smart buys in the certified pre-owned category. "Any time someone goes through a major life change, such as graduating college, they need to determine if their current ride makes sense for their lifestyle, from both a financial and functional perspective," says Autotrader editor Brian Moody. "For example, while that hand-me-down SUV from your parents was nice when you turned 16, you may want to opt for a safer, more fuel-efficient car as you transition into the working world." Autotrader Names 10 Best Cars for Recent College Graduates ATLANTA, May 28, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- For many, graduating college is a milestone like no other – it represents a new chapter, a proud accomplishment and, fortunately or unfortunately, financial independence. Luckily for graduates who are in the market for a new car to suit their post-college lifestyle, Autotrader's expert editors say now is a great time to make a purchase, as dealerships are flush with affordable models that are fun, fuel-efficient and thoughtfully designed.

Leno recalls '90s showdown with Tim Allen and his mullet
Wed, Oct 7 2015Not many of us have buddies with garages full of classic cars, but that isn't the case for Jay Leno and Tim Allen. Of course, one of the advantages for two guys with such vast collections is occasionally getting to pit their cars against each other. The two comedians did just that in the mid-'90s with a burnout battle on The Tonight Show between Allen in a race-prepped Mustang and Leno in a drag racer. After some time away from regular television, Leno is returning to the airwaves with a Jay Leno's Garage series premiering on Oct. 7 (tonight) at 10:00 p.m. ET on CNBC. Let this clip serve as another taste of what to expect for the new TV show's mix of comedy and cars. After reminiscing about the old days in a gorgeous garage, the comedians get into two modern machines to reprise the classic challenge – after a little trash talk anyway. Don't worry because the YouTube series isn't going anywhere, though.
