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.

Buick Riviera Concept debuts in China
Fri, 19 Apr 2013It's nighttime in China, and Buick has just concluded an evening event the day before the first - and only - press day of the Shanghai Motor Show. The star of this evening's party was the Buick Riviera concept vehicle, a plug-in electric hybrid coupe that the automaker says gives a glimpse at its future design direction, not to mention resurrecting some nomenclature from the brand's history that includes a similarly named concept from 2007.
The shape of the Riviera is said to be inspired by water. While the traditional Buick "waterfall" grille is present, the front end gains a more aggressive note thanks to what appear to be vertical air inlets below each headlight.
As for the concept's drivetrain, Buick says it uses General Motors' new dual-mode wireless plug-in hybrid electric vehicle propulsion system, or W-PHEV for short. The keyword there is 'wireless,' as the Riviera can charge its onboard battery packs with a traditional cable or wirelessly via a "sensory recharge panel" underneath the car.
NFL QB Cam Newton and supermodel Miranda Kerr star in Buick's Super Bowl ad
Wed, Feb 1 2017Buick's Super Bowl LI ad is another demonstration that its cars aren't frumpy anymore. The ad opens with parents watching their children play football, with one of the dads, we'll call him "Dad No. 1," shouting encouraging words to his son. In the background, a bright red Buick Cascada pulls up, and another dad, "Dad No. 2," points it out. Dad 1 doesn't believe him, and says, "If that's a Buick, then my kid's Cam Newton." All of sudden, his son transmogrifies into Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton. As expected, he quickly dominates the game, with some amusing results. At the end, when a Buick Encore shows up, the referee inadvertently turns himself into supermodel Miranda Kerr, based on apparent disbelief over what constitutes a Buick. You can see all of the shenanigans in the video above. Plus, if you'd like to see what goes into making a Super Bowl commercial, Buick produced a short video with Newton and Kerr showing what happens behind the scenes. You can check it out below.

Safety group pans GM’s new Marketplace in-dash shopping
Wed, Dec 6 2017When it comes to our cars, is the Internet of Things a godsend? Or a hidden menace that will create more problems than it will solve? On the same day General Motors announced it will equip newer-model cars with its in-dash Marketplace e-commerce app, a prominent safety group was shooting it down. National Safety Council President Deborah Hersman tells Bloomberg the technology will only contribute to distracted driving and hurt efforts to stem the tide of rising auto fatalities, which grew 5.6 percent to more than 37,000 in the U.S. in 2016. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says distracted driving was responsible for 3,477 fatalities and 391,000 injuries in 2015, the most recent year for which it has data. "There's nothing about this that's safe," Hersman told Bloomberg. "If this is why they want WiFi in the car, we're going to see fatality numbers go up even higher than they are now." Marketplace, developed with IBM, will allow drivers — or more often, one hopes, their passengers — to order coffee or food, find gas stations and reserve hotel rooms from their dashboard screens. The technology is set to be uploaded automatically to nearly 1.9 million GM vehicles model-year 2017 and later that are equipped with WiFi hotspots and compatible systems. By the end of 2018, about 4 million Chevrolet, Buick, GMC and Cadillac vehicles will be equipped with Marketplace. The app will debut with a limited number of participating retailers, including TGI Fridays, Shell, Exxon Mobil and Starbucks, with more likely to join later. Online retail giant Amazon is also partnering with automakers such as Ford to bring e-commerce capabilities inside the car through its Alexa personal assistant. While convenience is nice, one other thing is becoming clear as the IoT wedges its way into our cars: It's taking aim at some decidedly first-world problems.Related Video: Image Credit: GM Buick Cadillac Chevrolet GM GMC Technology Infotainment in-car entertainment marketplace e-commerce
