********PLEASE NOTE THAT I WILL NOT ACCEPT PAYMENT VIA PAYPAL UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE********

Up for sale is a ONE OWNER (me) 1998 Buick Century Limited. That’s right, my name and address are the only ones that have ever graced the title of this car. It is finished in beautiful Jasper Green Metallic paint with sumptuous Taupe Leather interior. It has Only 47,772 original miles. You are reading that correctly – this car is a time warp that you do not see very often.

It is hard to believe I know, but this Buick has never been my primary mode of transportation. It has spent its entire life as a reserve vehicle for me and my family occasionally. I travel across the country on business for a living, and the trusty Buick has served as my airport car. I have owned higher caliber vehicles over the years that I simply was not comfortable leaving at the airport in Memphis, Nashville, or Little Rock (depending upon where I was flying out of). So the Buick served me well as a low profile car. I also attribute its ability to blend in anonymously with the fact that I have never received a ticket in it – despite its surprising knack for cruising at 85 comfortably for long periods of time. The Buick has also served as a car for our housekeeper to run errands in over the years as well.

My Buick is in exceptional condition inside and out for its age, and the pictures simply do not do it justice. I special ordered this car from the factory thru my family relationship with the owner of Jim Keras Buick in Memphis, TN with every available option except a sunroof.

I checked off the options sheet when I ordered my Buick with the: Popular Option Package; Premium Option Package; Body Side Stripes; Carpet Savers in front and rear; Electrochromic rearview mirror; Heated Body Color Exterior Mirrors; Cruise Control, Rear Window integrated Antenna; the Premium sound system; Jasper Green Metallic Paint, and Taupe Leather. These option packages entailed many niceties such as dual electronic climate control, dual power seats, cruise control, high-end Concert Sound II stereo system with CD player, a Tape player, and steering wheel controls as well. In addition it has anti-lock brakes, dual airbags, 4 wheel disc brakes, aluminum alloy wheels, automatic headlights and dimming interior courtesy lights.

My Buick has been thoroughly maintained throughout its entire life. Recently I serviced the car with a brand new battery, new starter, new water pump, new front & rear brakes, and the fluids were replaced as well. It runs great, idles superbly smooth, passes inspection, and sips gas. I have both keys, both keyless entry fobs, and even the valet key still.

My Buick has been garaged for all but 2 of its 16 year life span, and it has never seen snow. The car has never been smoked in, I can count on one hand how many times the back seat has had a passenger, and the trunk has never seen anything but a rolling bag.

Why am I selling it? Because my wife inherited her grandmother’s 2003 Lexus ES300 with low miles on it about 2 year ago. Therefore, the Lexus has taken the place of the Buick as our reserve/airport car. I simply have not had the time to fool with selling the Buick despite the occasional consideration to go to CarMax for an offer. Additionally, it’s been difficult to part with the Buick considering how well it has served us and the fact that I have owned it since ordering from the factory.

What’s wrong with it? A few things - mainly due to being kicked out of the third garage spot by the Lexus. There are typical bumps and scratches on the sides and bumpers due to airport parking garages over the years, but it still presents very well do to its extensive years of being under cover. A tree limb fell during a storm last year and dented the driver door and the hood (as you can see in the pictures). The interior rear view mirror has developed some cloudiness that I can only attribute to the sun. The screen for the automatic climate control does not display anything, but all functions still work correctly (this is very strange to me and I wonder if regular use would “wake” the screen back up). There seems to be a coolant leak, but the origin is unknown. My yard man thinks it’s probably just an old radiator hose or even a worn out radiator cap. The car still runs just fine though.

Thank you for looking at my car. It is truly is an exceptional example of the Buick Century mark, and its new owner will understand immediately just how well it has been cared for. I welcome any questions you may have and sincerely appreciate your consideration in viewing my advertisement.

GM recalling 250,000 SUVs over door electronics

Mon, 20 Aug 2012

After a door-fire investigation that dates back to February, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has officially announced a recall today that affects around 250,000 General Motors SUVs for a faulty driver's door module. The recall applies to the Buick Rainier, Chevrolet Trailblazer, GMC Envoy, Isuzu Ascender and Saab 9-7X from the 2006 and 2007 model years, as well as the 2006 Chevrolet Trailblazer EXT and GMC Envoy XL for vehicles sold and/or registered in the Snow Belt.
Road salt use in these midwestern and northern states can lead to corrosion of the driver's door module on these GMT360 and GMT370 vehicles, which allows water to come in contact with the circuit board. If shorted out, the vehicle's power door locks and power windows will not work, and could possibly lead to overheating and, in some circumstances, a fire. No official word on how many total vehicles caught on fire, but back in June, 28 fires had been reported to the government agency. A fix for the problem is still being worked out, but all affected vehicle owners will be notified by GM.

New GM subcompact SUV spied, could be a Chevy or GMC

Mon, Aug 13 2018

GM's pair of subcompact crossovers have been trundling along for a while now. The Buick Encore was the first for Americans in the 2013 model year, and the Chevy Trax that was based on the Encore (an encore of the Encore, if you will) arrived for the 2015 model year. Each has undergone a mild update, but these spy photos could indicate their replacements are in the works. Or not. For starters, we can't be sure which GM brand this new SUV is destined for. Though the timing and its flowing lines could indicate Buick, the thick horizontal bars visible in the grille would indicate otherwise. The next Encore being at least related to this is at least a possibility. Making the case for GMC are those thick grille bars, the fact that it extends far below the lights, and may even rise above them, similar to the Acadia. And that rising beltline isn't that different from that of the Acadia. Arguing against the GMC idea is the Encore, which is almost always sold in GMC-Buick combo dealers. Much as the Acadia was made smaller to eliminate confusion and in-house competition with the Enclave, it's hard to see GM opting to resurrect such an issue at the bottom end of the SUV market. That means we're leaning toward this little SUV wearing a Chevy bowtie. The split grille with a large lower section and small upper section is the brand's current design language, as seen on the new Malibus and Cruzes. The shape is vaguely Equinox-like. And like Buick, Chevy also has a subcompact crossover ready for replacement: the Trax. Now, our photographer reports he's seen another subcompact testing that has Blazer design cues, but in this crossover-hungry market, we wouldn't be surprised if two similarly sized but differently styled Chevy crossovers make the grade. It's a strategy that's working pretty well for Jeep. We'll no doubt be seeing more of these disguised test vehicles milling about the country in the coming months, so perhaps we'll eventually get a better idea of what this is before more official information starts trickling out within one or two years.
