I BOUGHT THIS CAR FROM MY LANDLORD (WHO HAS OFFERED TO BUY IT BACK BUT
AM SEEING WHAT OFFERS I GET BEFORE DOING SO). IT WAS IN A GARAGE FOR 17
YEARS AND NEVER DRIVEN THOSE 17 YEARS UNTIL I BOUGHT IT TWO YEARS AGO. I HAVE PUT MAYBE 400 MILES ON IT. I HAD PLANS TO RESTORE IT COMPLETELY AND MAKE IT A
SHOW CAR BUT NOW I HAVE PLANS TO MOVE BACK OUT WEST AND NO PLAN TO TAKE
THIS 6,000 POUND CAR WITH ME.
THIS IS A 1976 BUICK ELECTRA 225 WITH A 455 V8 ORIGINAL ENGINE WITH 74,610 ORIGINAL MILES. THIS IS THE SECOND BIGGEST CAR GENERAL MOTORS EVER MADE. THE CAR IS 95% RUST FREE. UNDERNEATH PRACTICALLY LOOKS LIKE IT IS ON THE SHOW FLOOR STILL IT IS SO CLEAN. THE ORIGINAL OWNERS HAD IT UNDERCOATED. THERE IS PRACTICALLY NO RUST UNDER THE CAR. MAYBE SLIGHT SURFACE RUST ON THE EXHAUST PIPE AND OTHER RANDOM AREAS. THERE IS VERY LITTLE SURFACE RUST ON THE FRONT OF THE CAR (PICTURE INCLUDED) WHICH IS JUST IN FRONT OF THE HOOD. THE CAR DOES NEED A PAINT JOB, THE PAINT IS FADED FROM AGE (IF YOU PLAN TO RESTORE IT) THE ORIGINAL SOFT TOP ON THE CAR IS IN IMMACULATE CONDITION FOR ITS AGE, IT IS NOT DRY ROTTED OR TORN ANYWHERE. THE STRING STITCHING IS FRAYED DOWN THE CENTER. THERE IS ONLY ONE VERY TINY DING ON THE BACK PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CAR. YOU HAVE TO LOOK VERY HARD TO NOTICE IT. I HAVE LOOKED IT OVER MANY TIMES. (I WAS GOING TO HAVE IT PAINTED) THERE IS A PICTURES OF THIS DING IN THIS LISTING AND IT HAS A GREEN CIRCLE AROUND IT. THE TRUNK IS CLEAN AND HAS THE SPARE TIRE AND JACK THE RADIO IS ORIGINAL AND WORKS INTERIOR IS IN AMAZING CONDITION PUMP THE PEDAL A COUPLE TIMES, THE CAR STARTS RIGHT UP, NO PROBLEMS. THIS IS A VERY NICE CAR AND I KNOW I WILL REGRET SELLING IT BUT IT IS WHAT IT IS AND I HAVE OTHER DESIRES IN LIFE RIGHT NOW. IT WILL NEED A NEW BATTERY SINCE IT HAS SAT AND DIED SO MANY TIMES. IT WILL HAVE TO BE CHARGED TO START IT. CLEAN TITLE I HAVE PUT NEW REAR BRAKES ON IT, A BRAND NEW RADIATOR IN IT IN THIS PAST JULY, I ALSO PUT 4 BRAND NEW WHITE WALL TIRES ON IT IN SUMMER 2013. THE ONES ON IT WHEN I BOUGHT IT WERE 17 YEARS OLD AND LOOKED BRAND NEW STILL BUT WERE DRY ROTTED FROM AGE SO I REPLACED THEM. THE THINGS WRONG OR THAT DO NOT WORK THAT I AM AWARE OF ARE AS FOLLOWS: THE FRONT DRIVER AND PASSENGER WINDOWS DO NOT ROLL DOWN. COULD POSSIBLY NEED NEW WINDOW MOTORS AND OR SWITCHES. BACK WINDOWS ROLL DOWN JUST FINE. THEY ARE ELECTRIC POWERED WINDOWS. THERE IS A LIGHT RATTLING SOUND BUT IT IS A VALVE THAT CONTROLS HEAT FLOW AND DOES NOT EFFECT THE OPERATION OR PERFORMANCE OF THE CAR IN ANY WAY. IT USUALLY GOES AWAY AFTER THE CAR RUNS A LITTLE BIT. THE ENGINE COULD USE SOME CLEANING UP AND MOST LIKELY A TUNING UP. MICE CHEWED THE COATING ON A COUPLE WIRES, NOTHING MAJOR THOUGH. WATER SLOWLY LEAKS INTO THE BOTTOM OF THE WINDSHIELD ON THE DRIVER SIDE. YOU WOULD NEED TO TAKE THE METAL TRIM OFF THE BOTTOM OF THE WINDSHIELD AND SEAL IT WITH SOMETHING. A METAL BRACKET IS RUSTED UP UNDER THE DASH (CAN SEE IT WITH FLASHLIGHT) FROM WATER LEAKING IN. I HAVE KEPT THIS CAR COVERED AS WELL AS UNDER A ROOF SINCE I BOUGHT IT. I RECOMMEND CHANGING ALL THE FLUIDS IN THE CAR. THERE IS NEW GAS IN THE TANK, NO OLD GAS IN IT. THE BUMPER FILLER FOR AROUND THE TAIL LIGHTS DRY ROTTED OVER THE YEARS. YOU CAN ORDER NEW FIBERGLASS ONES FROM A COMPANY IN FLORIDA. I HAVE THE PHONE NUMBER TO THE BUSINESS. THE ONLY THING CLOSE TO MAJOR WRONG WITH THE INTERIOR IS A SMALL TEAR / CUT IN THE "LEATHER" PANELING ON THE DRIVER DOOR ABOUT 3 INCHES IN LENGTH. THE INTERIOR IS IN AMAZING CONDITION FOR ITS AGE AS WELL. AIR CONDITIONING WILL NEED RECHARGED AND/OR FIXED CRUISE CONTROL DOES NOT WORK, COULD JUST BE A FUSE, I DON'T KNOW. I DO NOT BELIEVE THE CLOCK WORKS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE ON THE DASH MAY BE A PIECE OF SMALL TRIM MISSING AROUND THE WHEEL WELL IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY. THE CHROME BUMPER, GRILL, IS ALL IN GREAT CONDITION. TO THE BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE THE CAR DOES NOT LEAK ANY FLUIDS. I AM CURRENTLY WORKING OUT OF STATE LONG HOURS AND IF YOU PURCHASE THE CAR WE WILL HAVE TO ARRANGE A TIME ACCORDING TO MY SCHEDULE IN ORDER FOR US TO MEET AND TAKE CARE OF THE TITLE WORK. I WILL NOT LET THE CAR LEAVE ME UNLESS THE TITLE NOTARIZING IS COMPLETED IN FRONT OF ME AND PAID IN FULL. YOU MUST REMOVE THE CAR FROM THE PROPERTY IMMEDIATELY AFTER TITLE IS SIGNED AND NOTARIZED UNLESS WE COME TO ANOTHER AGREEMENT. ONLY REPLY TO THIS POSTING IF YOU ARE 100% SERIOUS ABOUT BUYING THE CAR. PLEASE E-MAIL WITH ANY AND ALL QUESTIONS AND I WILL ANSWER THEM. ASK ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING AND I WILL ANSWER TO THE BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE. THE CAR IS BEING SOLD AS IS!!! I TRUST THE CAR TO DRIVE ACROSS THE COUNTRY IF THAT MEANS ANYTHING TO YOU. ALTHOUGH I HAVE ONLY PUT MAYBE 400 MILES ON IT SO I CAN NOT TELL YOU EVERYTHING ABOUT THE CAR. I HAVE NOT SPENT A LOT OF TIME WITH IT. BEFORE DRIVING IT ANY LONG DISTANCE I WOULD HAVE ALL FLUIDS CHANGED AND A GOOD TUNE UP AND GO OVER IT GOOD. SHORTLY AFTER I BOUGHT IT I STARTED TRAVELING FOR WORK AND HAVE NOT BEEN HOME BUT MAYBE A TOTAL OF 10 DAYS THIS YEAR. I AM SELLING THIS CAR AS IF IT DOES NOT RUN AND/OR PARTS. THERE IS NO WARRANTY, I HAVE TOLD YOU EVERYTHING I KNOW ABOUT THE CAR. I AM SAYING THIS BECAUSE I KNOW THERE ARE PEOPLE OUT THERE THAT BUY A CAR, SOMETHING GOES WRONG AND THEY ACCUSE THE SELLER OF NOT TELLING THEM SOMETHING. ONCE THE CAR IS GONE, IT IS YOURS AND YOUR RESPONSIBILITY. I DO BELIEVE THERE WERE NEW SHOCKS PUT ON THIS CAR BEFORE IT WAS GARAGED FOR 17 YEARS. THIS CAR IS THE SMOOTHEST RIDE I HAVE EVER DRIVEN. I COULD DRIVE IT ACROSS THE WIDEST PART OF THE GRAND CANYON AND NOT FEEL THE SLIGHTEST BUMP. AS SOON AS I BOUGHT THIS CAR AND PARKED IT AT MY HOUSE I HAD PEOPLE KNOCKING ON MY DOOR WANTING TO BUY IT. I TURNED THEM ALL DOWN BECAUSE I HAD SERIOUS INTENTIONS OF RESTORING IT AND SHOWING IT. I HAD TO PUT A SIGN ON MY DOOR SAYING THAT THE BUICK WAS NOT FOR SALE. NOW OF COURSE I WISH I HAD SOLD IT! AGAIN, THIS IS A NICE CAR, NEEDS A SHINE JOB, AND ENGINE CLEAN AND THE FLUIDS CHANGED. SOLID SOLID SOLID CAR. DOORS OPEN AND SHUT SMOOTHER THAN ANY CAR I HAVE EVER OWNED. I SUGGEST NEW RUBBER SEALS FOR THE BOTTOM OF THE WINDOWS AS WELL SEEING AS THEY ARE OLD AND DRY. THE CAR IS LOCATED IN MANSFIELD, OHIO. ONCE AGAIN, THE CAR IS BEING SOLD AS IS AND I HAVE TOLD YOU EVERYTHING I KNOW. ONCE YOU BUY IT AND THE TITLE IS SIGNED, IT IS YOURS. ONCE AGAIN, ASK ANY AND ALL QUESTIONS PLEASE. THE VIN NUMBER IS - 4V39Y6H416341 THANK YOU FOR LOOKING! |

GM SUV window switch recall urges owners to park vehicles outside
Thu, 07 Aug 2014It's not unusual for there to be a lag between an automaker announcing a recall and the official documentation showing up on the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration website. So it's no surprise that a recent GM campaign took about a month to appear in its official capacity. However, there appears to be some big differences between the two reports with potential safety implications.
In late June, GM announced that it needed to recall 181,984 examples of the Chevrolet Trailblazer, Buick Rainier, GMC Envoy, Isuzu Ascender and Saab 9-7x from the 2005-2007 model years, plus the 2006 Chevy Trailblazer EXT and 2006 GMC Envoy XL. The new documents paint a slightly different picture with 184,611 needing repaired and different model years listed.
The reason for the fix is still the same, though. It's possible for fluid to contact the master power window switch module in the driver's door, which can corrode the part. Eventually this could cause a short circuit, leaving the buttons inoperable and potentially leading to a fire. But the new NHTSA documents add an important note: "A fire could occur even while the vehicle is not in use. As a precaution, owners are advised to park outside until the remedy has been made."

GM is quietly slashing prices on base models
Fri, Jan 30 2015While General Motors' fourth quarter financial figures haven't yet been released, the automaker seems to be weathering a potentially rocky time well, even beating third-quarter projections last year. To keep the climb going, the company is launching new base trims for several popular models that make them cheaper than ever but with tight dealer margins. The new entry-level trims are the Chevrolet Cruze L, Equinox L, GMC Terrain SL and Buick LaCrosse 1SV. Buyers lose some content by picking them, but the prices are slashed. According to Cars Direct, the biggest savings are on the LaCrosse, where customers pay $31,065, plus $925 destination, $2,570 less than the previous base 1SB trim but must accept things like 17-inch wheels and no cargo net in the back. If you're wondering how Buick can remove only a little equipment but cut the price so much, it's because the company also slashed dealer margins. According to Cars Direct, the difference between the invoice and MSRP for the LaCrosse 1SV is only around $150, compared to around $1,350 before. The disparity is even greater for the Cruze with an $81 difference in the prices, compared to about $600 for the LS version. Showrooms are expected to keep very low stocks of these trims, though. "Dealers use such vehicles to get people in the door, but they do not generally want to do high volumes of these strippers. The margins are next to nothing; they don't make much money off these cars," said Ed Kim, Vice President of Industry Analysis for AutoPacific to Autoblog. Dealers are also expected to advertise that these new base trims undercut major competitors. For example, the Cruze L rings up for about $2,320 less than a Honda Civic LX, according to Cars Direct. One potential drawback for buyers is that these models might not be eligible for incentives. While the attractive prices might get customers into dealers, folks may not actually end up driving home with these entry-level models. Kim indicated base trims also make up a small portion of the sales mix. "Consumers aren't asking for stripped out vehicles, even at the low end of the marketplace," he said.
