1988 Buick Electra Estate Wagon Wagon 4-door 5.0l 3 Seat on 2040-cars
United States
This station wagon offers a buyer several opportunities. It can be driven as is, tinkered with and used as a crusier, built into a long haul power tour car, or restored to perfect original condition. As you read on you will find that everything is in place, even for a perfect restoration. This car was assembled at the GM Plant in Atlanta Ga and sold new at Community Buick in Plant City Fl to a Tampa Fl resident. Some years later it was sold to an Atlanta Ga resident and I bought it a year ago and I too am an Atlanta resident. Subsequently this car has never seen a harsh winter and is totally rust frees. This makes it an excellent base car to begin a project. Nearly everything on this car is original except for wear items. Some items need work or replacing but it's all there.Another great addition to this car is the paperwork. It includes the original window sticker and nearly every piece of paper created since the original sale. Most all receipts are there as well as notes from the original owner on various items he repaired himself. Also included is the owners manual and two factory repair manuals. This car stickered at $21,242.00 when new in 1988. It came standard with 5.0 Liter V8, auto trans, a/c, 6 way pwr seat, power locks, tilt, power fronts discs, power steering, aluminum wheels, power side windows, power tailgate window, tinted glass, dual horns, bumper guards, remote tailgate lock, woodrain vinyl, and lamp group. Options included pass 6 way power seat, seat back recliner pass seat, rocker moldings, rear window defogger, auto climate controller, elec cruise control., cornering lights, am/fm/cd stereo, power antenna, heavy duty engine and trans cooling,roof rack, body side molding, and a trailer hitch and light kit. Gas mileage was rated at 17/24mpg. As you see, this was a loaded car. Some of these things need attention and here is a list of all the things it will need to be in tip top condition. The paint is dry and faded, 25 years in the Fla and Ga sun has taken it's toll. The vinyl woodgrain is split and cracked in spots, maybe could be patched but it too has sun damage. The vinyl bumper fillers has dried out and fallen away. Some of the weatherstrip is dried out and the dashpad is cracked and sun damaged (but a pad was made from seat material and is installed as a cover). The headliner is loose and flapping and needs to be replaced. All of those things could be considered as sun damage. In addition the hood release cable needs to be replaced (a new one is included). The stereo works but only our of one speaker (?) The cassette player doesn't work at all. The driver window only goes down half way but always goes back up. The A/C blows cold and the heater works. The car drives nice and is very comfy - kinda like driving a sofa down the road. The tires are about a year old and white walls. The carpet is showing some wear at the driver's feet and the driver's seat is showing some wear but nothing is ripped or torn or worn through. The wood applique on drivers window shows some wear and the pull handle on the drivers door is broken. Most of these things are pretty minor and if you have the ability you might say that it's a bit of tinkering to repair these items. There are some spare parts included. These include one headlight bezel, power antenna assy, overhead rearview mirrorr, drivers side power rear view mirror, two hubcaps, speedometer cable (old one works but is noisy), hood release cable, drivers door power window master buttons.There is no evidence that this car has ever been wrecked. This is a 3 seat wagon with an outward facing rear seat. Once upon a time they called these 9 passenger wagons but this would be an 8 passenger. The 3rd seat has 2 seatbelts and is best suited for children. We have driven this car a bit since we've had it but time has not permitted the required tinkering so we have decided to let someone else have it. You could certainly drive it home although it should have an oil change soon. You can also have it shipped, I will do whatever I can to make the transition as easy as possible, I have a Georgia title in my name, It's tagged and registered as well. Full payment is required before it leaves and you'll have to put at least $500 down at the auction's end if you win, and pay the balance within a reasonable period of time. This is a no reserve auction so the hi bidder is the winner.

2017 Buick LaCrosse priced at $32,990
Mon, May 16 2016Buick has announced the starting price for its totally redesigned LaCrosse sedan, and it's looking competitive. According to the company's consumer website, the base trim will start at $32,990, while the vehicle featured on the page is helpfully listed as "As Shown: $45,560." Buick is being coy about the standard equipment list, but we do know a few traditionally higher-end options will be free of charge, including an eight-inch touchscreen that's compatible with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, and HID headlamps. General Motors' 4G LTE wifi is a no-cost feature (although you'll need to shell out for a data plan, eventually). The optional extras list, which will include goodies like adaptive cruise control, hasn't been published yet. Underhood, all LaCrosse models will get eight-speed automatic transmissions paired with 305-horsepower, 3.6-liter V6 engines. The new powertrain, plucked from the Cadillac XT5, has stop-start and cylinder deactivation as standard to save fuel, although it's still too early to predict where the LaCrosse will fall on the EPA scale. Front-wheel drive is standard, but all-wheel drive will be available for a unknown premium. Buick says the sedan's reasonable starting price backs the company's "position of attainable luxury." And that's true. At $32,990 the LaCrosse is $560 less than the $33,550 base Toyota Avalon, $355 less than the $33,345 Nissan Maxima S, and $850 less than the $33,840 Kia Cadenza. Only the antiquated Ford Taurus, at $27,985, can undercut it. On the opposite end, the LaCrosse is $6,945 less than a front-drive Lincoln MKS and $6,060 less than a Lexus ES. Starting prices are useful tools for comparison but they only go so far – we'll have to wait until next month, when full details are released, to see how truly reasonable the LaCrosse's price is.
GM cars and SUVs recalled for leaking transmission fluid
Thu, Nov 5 2020General Motors is recalling more than 194,000 vehicles from 2018 to 2020 due to transmission fluid leaks. The leaks stem from an auto stop-start component that may have been installed with loose or missing bolts. The leaking fluid can affect the transmission's performance, and if it leaks onto a hot exhaust component, could potentially cause a fire. GM says that to date, it knows of no accidents or injuries related to the defect. The issue affects models from all four GM divisions. From Chevrolet, the affected vehicles are: 2018 Malibu, 2018–2019 Cruze, 2018–2020 Equinox, 2018–2020 Traverse, 2019–2020 Blazer At Buick, the following models are included: 2018–2019 LaCrosse, 2019–2020 Encore, 2019–2020 Enclave, At GMC, the recall includes: 2018–2020 Terrain, 2019–2020 Acadia Cadillac has two affected vehicles: 2019–2020 XT4 and 2020 XT6 The recall is scheduled to begin in mid-December. Owners of the affected vehicles will be contacted. Dealers will inspect the transmission accumulator, and replace those with loose or missing bolts.
2022 Buick Envision Plus three-row crossover is like an Envision, plus
Wed, Apr 7 2021Buick exited the sedan segment when it axed the Regal, but it's going all-in on crossovers and SUVs. It released a dark preview image that gives us an early look at a three-row family-hauler named Envision Plus. Announced only for the Chinese market as of writing, the Envision Plus is — as its name implies — positioned above the Envision in the company's range, though it's smaller than the Enclave. It's mechanically related to the crossover it shares its nameplate with, but it appears to receive a specific design with a new-look front bumper and a more upright grille. It also wears a boxier silhouette that allowed Buick to add a third row of seats. Extra seating aside, we expect the Plus will offer an interior close to the standard Envision's, which we described as "a scaled-down take on the Enclave's interior" in February 2021. Similarly, Buick will likely offer the Envision Plus with the same turbocharged, 2.0-liter four-cylinder as the smaller model. It produces 228 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, and it spins the front or the four wheels via a nine-speed automatic transmission. Buick will release more details about the 2022 Envision Plus in the coming weeks, and it will unveil the model at the 2021 edition of the Shanghai auto show opening its doors on April 21. While the company hasn't confirmed plans to sell its latest crossover in its home market, we wouldn't be surprised if it arrives here before the end of 2021. Auto shows were put on hiatus in 2020, at the height of the on-going coronavirus pandemic, and the upcoming Shanghai show is the first major industry event in over a year. In addition to the Buick people-mover, we'll discover Toyota's first global electric car. It will arrive as a near-production concept close in size to the hot-selling RAV4.
