AS-IS
Car has been fitted with a great glasspack & muffler, has a very deep throaty sound. Combined with the solid black paint and overall profile you'll be turning heads everywhere you go! This car is powerful yet smooth, can be driven hard & fast or cruised in style. Power steering is extremely smooth, handles great for such a large framed car of its age!
This is a big car, has HUGE trunk space and can comfortably fit 3 in the back and 2 in front, a 3rd can squeeze in the front if needed as well.
Recently had the radiator hoses replaced.
Carb was rebuilt in late 2010.
The body is in great shape, small dent on right side (mid body) was long painted over when purchased.
The car was one of my daily drivers, very reliable and very very fast
The BAD:
Needs a new battery, current battery is at the end of its life
AC needs freon but did work thru the summer of 2011
Steering wheel missing original Buick logo
One tire likes to lose air randomly (had to fill it back up to match the other tires by about 10 every 3-4 weeks)
Due to business deployment I am not home enough to enjoy or take care of the car, have been away since Mid December. I had a week home in January when I fired it up and took it for a quick spin. After that its been sitting undriven. I was told by a family member that the battery needed to be fully charged overnight recently for the car to fire up. Was told it turned twice and then the lights and stereo died out as the battery failed. When I last left my mechanic did inform me the battery was failing so I wasn't surprised to hear this. The car could also use an oil change as it's been about 2500-3000 miles since its last change (plus about 3 1/2 months after those miles)
While I do love this car I feel it's time to let it go, send it off to its next awesome home & owner. As things stand now it's sitting there unadmired and aching to grab attention. Use it as your daily driver, or do some work to make it more powerful or even turn it into a show car with enough time put in!
Title is clear
This car is being sold AS-IS with NO WARRANTY. While it has been reliable for me it is an older car which has its fair share of typical wear & I cannot be responsible for any unforeseen issues. As stated it was driven fine in early January & last fired up (but not driven) early March after having it's battery recharged over night.

New Buick Verano testing in Germany
Thu, 29 May 2014A refresh to Buick's popular Verano sedan appears to be nigh, thanks to these spy photos that show the tweaked four-door testing in Germany.
As with the current Verano, the refreshed model will have a great deal in common with its European platform-mates, the Vauxhall/Opel Astra. Each car rides on General Motors's Delta II platform. Unlike the current car, though, the refreshed model's styling could lean more heavily towards its European roots, if these photos are any indication.
Despite its commonality with the Astra Sedan, the Verano has featured its own unique styling since arriving in the US back in 2011 as a 2012 model, with distinct fascias at both the front and back, as wells its own headlight and taillight designs. The two cars were still rebadged vehicles, but it was more subtle than it will be in 2015, when the refreshed Verano arrives. Astra-like elements are expected to dominate, particularly in regards to the headlights and taillights. That said, trademark Buick styling features will remain, like the waterfall grille. Really, then, the 2016 Verano won't be unlike the Regal - a rebadged Vauxhall/Opel Insignia, aside from a few very small styling details.
GM recalls over 230,000 more Trailblazer-family SUVs over door electronics
Sun, 16 Jun 2013Back in August, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration announced a recall on the General Motors GMT360 SUVs (Buick Rainier, Chevrolet Trailblazer, GMC Envoy, Isuzu Ascender and Saab 9-7X) ranging from the 2005 to 2007 model years and the 2006 GMT370 SUVs (Chevrolet Trailblazer EXT and GMC Envoy XL) due to potential fires associated with the driver's door module. Initially limited to 250,000 units sold or registered in 20 Snow Belt states (and the District of Columbia), the recall has now been expanded to include an additional 193,000 of these SUVs in the US and, according to The Detroit News, 40,000 more sold outside the US, including Canada and Mexico.
Like the original recall, the issue is still a faulty driver's door module that can short out, which could lead to a fire. The Detroit News is reporting that, out of the 443,000 units being recalled, GM says that there were 58 fires that caused 11 minor injuries, and the expanded recall accounted for six fires and one injury. Despite the lower number of fires, the recall notice recommends that owners park their vehicles until the recall repairs has been performed.
On recalled units with functional modules, the repair consists of a protective coating being applied to the module, while vehicles with modules that are not working properly will have the driver's door module replaced. The official recall notice is posted below, and it includes contact information for customers of all five brands.
