1987 Buick Grand National on 2040-cars

Year:1987 Mileage:40058
Location:

I am selling a 1987 Buick Grand National. Car drives pretty solid. The interior and trunk are clean. The body is very straight and was re-painted by the previous owner. It could use a good buff. The trim pieces could be re-painted down the road as well - Then it would be a solid paint job overall. The chrome on one of the rims is slightly peeling. Also, the driver side floor pan was patched at some point and could need attending to in the future. It could also use a tune, but other than that it has driven fine for me. These are the things I have come across since owning this vehicle. OVERALL, I have received nothing but "thumbs up" and great compliments on the GN. I love that it is a T-Top car and that I can step on the gas and "GO" at will. Also, has all most of the options it could come with in 1987 (interior power options etc...) I hate to sell it, but I have to at this time. My loss your gain...!

***I have a few extra parts and GNX style wheels I can throw in too (wheels aren't exact replicas, but pretty close.

Buyer is responsible for all shipping cost and arrangements. Deposit due IMMEDIATELY at auctions end and balance due within 7 days. If you have any questions or concerns don't hesitate contact me. Thanks in advance and Good Luck!

***PS: If you have specific questions please ask and I will answer to the best of my knowledge. I really haven't dug into the car too much as it was never my intention to change or alter it. I was never looking for a GN "show car" - just one I could drive and cruise around town in.

2013 Buick Verano Turbo

Thu, 03 Jan 2013

Not Luxury. Not Sport. Not Buick. Not Bad.
Those of you who still think of the Buick Verano as some sort of callously badge-engineered, gussied up version of the Chevrolet Cruze ("Why would anyone spend that much money on Buick's Cruze?" you may have been heard to mutter) have got the wrong idea. Entirely. Even in its most modest form, the Verano turns out to be a sedan that is feature-rich, insulated from wind and road noise in proper luxury car fashion, pretty good to drive and not bad to look at in the new school of high-nosed pedestrian-impact-regulated fashion. In a less modest form then, one that attaches the word "Turbo" to the moniker and plops a force-fed 2.0-liter four-cylinder under the hood, the Verano is downright interesting.
Of course, "interesting" is rarely a descriptor that fills one with lust - and so it goes with this example. There are two competing forces within this near-premium subcompact sedan, and the balance struck between them must resonate with any potential customer before the Verano Turbo can become a serious purchase consideration.

GM recalling 2013 Buick LaCrosse, Cadillac SRX over transmission software

Thu, 21 Mar 2013

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued recalls for the 2013 Buick LaCrosse and 2013 Cadillac SRX due to a problem with the software for the transmission controller. On about 27,000 SRX and LaCrosse models, the transmission could accidentally be shifted to Sport mode, which would reduce the amount of engine braking drivers experience.
NHTSA says this could increase the risk of a crash, but, fortunately, the required fix is simply an update to the software.
While we're on the subject of General Motors vehicle recalls, a small number (48) of compressed natural gas versions of the 2011 Chevrolet Express are also being recalled for a potential risk of fire or explosion. Yikes. Both official recall notices are posted below.

Buick to use Velite name for its Cascada?

Mon, Dec 1 2014

Ever since Opel brought out the Cascada convertible last year, rumors have been flying that Buick would offer it Stateside – much like it does with the Insignia-based Regal and the Astra-based Verano. And now we might have our best clue yet as to what Buick might call it. According to GM Authority, General Motors has filed to use the name Velite on a new model. The name first appeared on a convertible concept unveiled over a decade ago at the 2004 New York Auto Show (pictured above), but GM reportedly opened an application to trademark the nameplate for production in 2011, seeking extensions on its application every six months since. Of course the fact that it's applied for its fifth extension (of a permissible six) doesn't necessarily mean that GM will ultimately bring the cabriolet to US showrooms, or that it will use the Velite name if it does, but the fact that GM is keeping the name alive could be a good sign. The market for relaxed four-seat convertibles has been shrinking, leaving it up to drop-top muscle cars like the Chevy Camaro and Ford Mustang. But with entries like the Toyota Camry Solara, Volkswagen Eos and Chrysler 200 Convertible having dropped off the market, the Buick Velite (or Cascada, or whatever it's ultimately called) could have the sedate cabriolet segment all to itself – even if (or especially if) Lexus dealers aren't interested in touching it.
