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.

GM to offer 2 years free maintance on most 2014 models
Thu, 06 Jun 2013A day after Ford announced it was scaling back the complimentary maintenance program for its Lincoln brand, General Motors has gone in the completely opposite direction, offering most of its 2014 lineup with free maintenance. Since 2011, Cadillac models have all come with a four-year/50,000-mile complimentary maintenance program, but Chevrolet, Buick and GMC vehicles will now come standard with free maintenance for two years or 24,000 miles for the 2014 model year.
The program will give vehicle owners and lessees free oil changes, tire rotations and 27-point inspections following the recommended maintenance schedule laid out in each vehicle's owner's manual. We contacted GM to see which vehicles were eligible for the program, and a spokesperson got back to us with the following comment:
"All 2014 models are eligible, it's just that the included services vary by model, e.g., Spark EV would not need oil changes, Corvettes don't recommend tire rotations."
GM finds steering flaw, decides it doesn't warrant a recall
Tue, Apr 14 2015Guess what? General Motors is back in the spotlight for not recalling something. This time, though, not only does the company have an argument against a recall campaign, but its position is supported by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. According to The New York Times, over 50 owners of GM vehicles have reported instances of stuck or seized steering after driving long distances without moving the wheel. One owner complained to NHTSA that the "locked" steering of their 2013 Buick Verano caused a collision with a concrete barrier in a construction zone. Along with the 2013 to 2014 model year Verano sedans, Chevrolet Cruze and Malibu sedans are also affected. Considering the popularity of those models, GM needs to have a reason for not issuing a recall, right? "Based on a very low rate of occurrence – ranging from less than one half to less than two incidents per thousand vehicles – and the fact that the condition is remedied when the wheel is turned, GM determined this was not a safety issue," spokesman Alan Adler told The Times. The company has, however, issued a technical service bulletin for owners that complain of the problem. The fix is nothing more than a software update that is covered for 10 years or 150,000 miles from new. NHTSA cited GM's actions, along with descriptions of the problems from customers, in its decision not to issue a recall, with spokeswoman Catherine Howden saying, "the symptoms described would be a brief, perceptible change in steering feel that has little to no effect on the driver's ability to safely steer the vehicle." "When terms like 'notchy,' 'stick,' 'slip' or 'feel' are used, it does not indicate a meaningful increase in steering effort," Howden told The Times via email. What do you think? Is GM in the wrong here? Should there be a recall, or is the issue so limited as to not warrant one? Have your say in Comments.

2016 Buick Cascada First Drive
Wed, Jan 27 2016Florida became a state in 1845. It is the third most populous state in the United States, home to the most-visited theme park in the world. It is where you'll find every convertible ever sold in the United States, be it a pasty white Infiniti M30 or a Lamborghini. And soon, many examples of the 2016 Buick Cascada will call it home. Florida is full of Buicks. Wonder if anyone bought a Rendezvous Ultra? It's in Florida. The Buick Reatta, the company's last convertible before this? Also there. Buick, however, is eager to get those who better remember Bush vs. Gore than Nixon vs. Kennedy to ask, "That's a Buick?" Which is how we arrive at the Cascada. The Cascada isn't so much a new Buick as a car that's new to Buick. It's been on sale for about three years as the Opel Cascada in Europe, along with badge-engineered siblings sold by Vauxhall and Holden in other parts of the world. Buick took that time to make several hundred changes to the Cascada for US consumption and then found it without many rivals. The Chrysler 200 convertible, Volkswagen Eos, and Volvo C70 would all be prime targets for the Cascada here, were they not all dead now. Buick's gamble is that these Chrysler, VW, and Volvo (also Saab, for that matter) customers are looking for somewhere to go next. The Cascada isn't so much a new Buick as a car that's new to Buick. One thing is certain: the Cascada is eye-catching to Floridians. I had no fewer than six people in Miami and Key West walk up to me and ask what kind of car it was, or even say, "That's that new Buick convertible, right?" Despite being three years old, the Cascada's looks have aged pretty well. And it's been spared many of the tacked-on details, like fake portholes and chrome wheels, that were adhered to the Regal when it made its trip over from Opel-land. Top up or down, the Cascada is attractive. Unlike the Audi A3 or BMW 2 Series convertibles (the former being the Buick's prime target), there's no abruptness to the design, no sharply ending lines. The Buick looks relaxed in a Palm Beach or Palm Springs way, even on the inside with the convincingly stitched dash top and standard heated leather seats (one of the pieces redesigned for the Buick). That being said, the pattern on the seat material is a misstep, looking like it was inspired by Aunt Flora's 1972 patio furniture. Then it's surprising that you don't exactly sink into the Cascada. While the seats are mounted low, they're not pillow soft.
