EQUIPMENT

     It has an excellent 3.1 V-6 engine & an excellent automatic transmission as well as power steering, power brakes, power windows, power locks, power mirrors, power trunk via keyless entry, power driver seat, air conditioning, cruise control, tilt wheel, interm wipers, electric rear defogger, dual lighted sun visor mirrors, factory am/fm cassette stereo, steering wheel stereo controls, factory floor mats, 4 P205/70R15 steel belted radial whitewall tires, keyless entry & active alarm.

DESCRIPTION

     This car runs like new! There's no rust. The engine runs nice & cool & the transmission shifts perfectly. The brakes are fine & no pulsation. The exhaust is quiet & it's smooth riding.  The air conditioning could probably use a charge & the bass on the stereo occasionally cuts out but works fine other than that. All the power options & everything else work well. It just passed New York State inspection. The dash pad corner on the passenger side is lifted just a bit. There are a couple very minor dings/scratches on the trunk lid & here & there around the car & a few very small paint spots the size of your pinky finger that I touched up . These are to be expected on any used car, are extremely minor & of no significance but I wanted to mention them for all you picky-oon people out there. I also had the rockers professionally touched up as the paint flaked off a little. The frame & floors are very solid & so are the rockers & especially the door bottoms. The paint is showroom shinney & the interior is excellent as well. **The interior is not faded as some of the pictures portray**. The trunk & interior are immaculate. I just had the rear brakes cleaned & adjusted & put brand new wiper blades on.

     If you're looking for a low miles family car that you don't have to put any money into then this is it! With only 52,606 miles, that's about as much as a 2010 car! Again, you can call me at 716-884-1082 from 8am-11pm EDT with any questions. If you like these cars then you'll love this one! Good luck bidding if you do & God Bless!

Ford, Toyota clean up in Best Car For The Money Awards

Fri, 22 Feb 2013

The U.S. News Best Cars for the Money Awards picks winners by looking at the average transaction price, five-year total cost of ownership, the regard a car has from the automotive press, reliability figures from J.D. Power and Associates and safety data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The result, according to the magazine, is "the best combination of critical acclaim and long-term value."
Ford nabbed six of the 21 categories that received awards this year, the Focus, Fusion, Fusion Hybrid, Taurus, Escape and Edge getting trophies. Toyota and its Lexus and Scion sub-brands took another five, the Tacoma and Tundra owning the two categories given to pickup trucks. The other ten awards were split between Honda with three, Buick with two, and one each for Subaru, BMW, Hyundai, Chevrolet and Mazda.

Repo man pays off elderly couple's car just in time for Thanksgiving

Mon, Nov 28 2016

Repo men get bad raps for a good reason; no one likes having their car taken away. At least one guy in the repossession game proved folks in his profession aren't all bad when he helped an elderly couple hold on to their wheels right before Thanksgiving. According to the Belleville News-Democrat, unexpected bills and the rising cost of prescription medications pushed Stanford and Patty Kipping's fixed income to the breaking point. Unable to keep up with the $95 dollar a month payment on their 1998 Buick, they fell into arrears and the bank sent a repo man out to their home in Red Bud, Illinois to reclaim the car. Jim Ford, co-owner of Illini Recovery Inc., hooked up the old Buick and dragged it away, but later that night his conscience caught up with him. "When I got home that night, I said to myself, 'They are a real nice elderly couple. I gotta do something. I can't just take their car,'" Ford told the News-Democrat. Ford did do something, something surprisingly humane. He set up a GoFundMe and, within just a few short hours, he raised more than $3,500 dollars. This was enough money to pay off the Kipping's loan with a little left over for some maintenance. Ford and a friend then hooked the car back up and towed it back to the Kipping's home. Ford presented the couple with their trusty Buick, and threw in a thousand dollars in an envelope and a frozen turkey for Thanksgiving. "It was a miracle come true," Patty told the paper. "We didn't know what we were going to do." "I got up this morning and I looked up at the sun and I said, 'I hope we get our car back,'" added Stanford. "It's just unbelievable."Related Video: News Source: Belleville News-Democrat Auto News Weird Car News Buick repossession repo man

Buick Verano to go turbo-only for 2014?

Sat, 22 Dec 2012

If VIN tags recently posted online prove accurate, the 2014 Buick Verano may be getting a new base engine. Presently the Verano makes use of GM's 2.4-liter Ecotec four-cylinder engine in non-turbo trim; 2014 documentation appears to indicate that GM's entry-level luxury compact will instead feature a 1.6-liter turbocharged mill.
If this is the same engine seen in Europe, GM Inside News suggests it may offer 192 horsepower and 170 pound-feet of torque - useful improvements over the larger naturally aspirated mill's 180 hp and 171 lb-ft. More importantly, the downsized engine would likely improve on the Verano's current fuel mileage estimates of 21 city and 31 highway.
We like the Verano in both of its current iterations, but the 1.6 turbo engine sounds like a worthwhile upgrade if this reports turns out to be true. Plus, if more performance is your bag, baby, there's always the Verano's optional 2.0 turbo engine with an impressive 250 horsepower and 260 lb-ft from just 2.0 liters of displacement.
