Here is a car that you don't see much anymore. Back in the 80s, the Buick LeSabre was a large car based on the Chevrolet Caprice but with a better ride and a more luxurious and upscale feel. This one is no exception! It is a very nice car that is nearly impossible to find. Full Length video can be found here... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Kn8EhYYDig&list=UUwtnHVaD_n8gcqWQ_CyLYQQ Its a 1985 Buick LeSabre Custom 4 dr. sedan. It was purchased brand new here in Bradenton Fl. at Conley Buick in 1985 and has only a shade over 59K original miles since new. It was garage kept its entire life, and it shows. It has all power options, AC, tilt, cruise, cloth seats and wire wheel covers. I bought if from the original owners family at a garage sale a few weeks ago. I looked it over, replaced the bumper filler panels, cleaned it up a bit and now I am in love with it, but I must sell it to replace it with a small van or pickup. I will walk you around the car and describe it exactly as I know it. Exterior The paint is all original, not a spec of rust or paint work (except for the bumper fillers) can be found on any of the sheet metal. It has been waxed many many times in its life and there are traces of wax buildup but I removed most of it. I put on a fresh coat of nano wax after I replaced the bumper fillers. I also replaced the cracked grill with an NOS GM unit. All of the lights, chrome trim, and glass are in mint condition, the tires are like new Firestones and the wire wheel covers are perfect. A good professional detail would make it look even better. There are some minor dings on the passenger rear door and a few other light scratches and dings. From 5 feet away, this car looks showroom new. The color is Light Sage, which is not the nicest color but it grows on you fast. I would rate the exterior a 8 out of 10 Interior I didn't touch the interior, as pictured is the way I got the car. It is nearly flawless. It could use a carpet shampoo as there are some chocolate spots and a couple of tar spots under the drivers floor mat. The headliner is just starting to sag on the passengers side. The seats are near perfect, the dash and door panels are in great shape. No odd odors, non-smoker car. The drivers side power seat gear is stripped but that's an easy fix. The power windows are a little slow but a good lubrication would help. I would rate the interior a 7 out of 10 Mechanical The engine runs perfect. The transmission shifts perfect. Steering is tight and the brakes are smooth. The tires are just slightly flat spotted from sitting which is no big deal. It drives like a new car. The AC is ice cold and everything seems to work as it should except the power seat. All lights work perfectly and the radio sounds good however the left front speaker doesn't seem to work. I would rate this car a 9 out of 10 mechanically. Overall This would make a great cruiser for the 80s fan or a great custom car. All of my neighbors have raved about this car and talk about how you just don't see these anymore. Its the kind of classic that you can live with. Turn the AC on, drive it in the rain, etc. It has the original owners manuals, some service records, all 4 original keys and I wouldn't hesitate to drive it anywhere. Its that nice of a car. I would give this car and overall condition rating of 8.5 out of 10 Please look at all of my photos and if you have any questions you can call me at 941-720-0300 my name is Jason |

2023 Chicago Auto Show Mega Photo Gallery: See all the new cars from the show
Thu, Feb 16 2023The 2023 Chicago Auto Show played host to a number of reveals this year, and we were there to capture all of them. In traditional auto show fashion, that means you’re getting a mega gallery of galleries to flip through and see all the vehicles on the show floor. Our EditorsÂ’ Picks from the show are already out — spoiler alert, the 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander took home the prize. That said, there were other important reveals like the 2024 Volkswagen Atlas and Atlas Cross Sport and the 2024 Subaru Crosstrek. We also learned some interesting tidbits, such as the fact that VW is considering a pickup, and Jeep owners really are plugging in. To see the photos, scroll on down and start flipping through those galleries.  2024 Toyota Grand Highlander 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander View 7 Photos 2024 Volkswagen Atlas 2024 Volkswagen Atlas View 14 Photos 2024 Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport 2024 Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport View 7 Photos 2024 Ford Mustang Dark Horse with its carbon fiber wheels 2024 Ford Mustang Dark Horse with carbon fiber wheels View 7 Photos 2024 Chevrolet Corvette E-Ray 2024 Chevrolet Corvette E-Ray View 10 Photos Jeep Wrangler Anniversary Editions Jeep Wrangler Anniversary Editions View 3 Photos 2023 BMW XM 2023 BMW XM View 6 Photos Ram Revolution Concept Ram Revolution Concept View 6 Photos NASCAR Chicago Street Race Pace Car — Toyota Camry NASCAR Chicago Street Race Pace Car ?

Buick Envision Plus is a seven-seater tweener developed for China
Tue, Apr 20 2021Buick has filled the gap separating the Envision and the Enclave with a new crossover named Envision Plus. Launched at the Shanghai auto show, the three-row people-mover is scheduled to go on sale in China later in 2021. The plus-sized Envision stretches 190.7 inches long, 74.1 inches wide, and 66.7 inches tall, figures that make it around eight inches longer and two inches taller than the regular Envision. It's also a full 14 inches shorter, four inches narrower, and three inches lower than the Enclave, which is the biggest crossover in the Buick range. Designers didn't settle for stretching the Envision's wheelbase. They gave the Plus a more upright front end characterized by a taller grille, a flatter and longer roofline, and a redesigned rear end accented by a strip of bright trim that connects the lights. Only photos of the upscale Avenir trim (shown above) have been published so far. Images of the cabin are not available yet. We expect the Plus offers an interior close to the standard Envision's — from the driver's point of view, at least. The biggest difference is that the longer Envision lives up to its name by letting motorists take more gear or kids along for the ride thanks to a more spacious trunk and third-row seats. Power for the Envision Plus comes from a turbocharged, 2.0-liter EcoTec four-cylinder engine fitted with 48-volt mild-hybrid technology. Bolted to a nine-speed automatic transmission, the turbo-four is the same basic engine found in the American-spec Envision, where it develops 228 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, but figures for the Plus weren't released. Front- and all-wheel-drive models will presumably be available. Buick will release pricing information closer to the model's on-sale date. As of writing, the Envision Plus has only been announced for China, where it will be built, but unverified reports claim it will arrive in American showrooms before the end of 2021. We've reached out to the company, and we'll update this story if we learn more. 2021 Buick Verano Pro GS View 5 Photos What else did Buick show in Shanghai? Buick no longer sells sedans in America, but it remains present in that segment on the Chinese market. In addition to the Envision Plus, it unveiled a model named Verano Pro developed specifically for China, built locally, and aimed at relatively young buyers. At launch, motorists will be asked to choose between the regular sedan and a sportier-looking variant that wears the storied GS emblem.
Buick Cascada convertible likely dead after 2019
Tue, Oct 9 2018Opel announced it was discontinuing a few cars today, but the one that got our attention was the Cascada. The plan is to let the Opel Cascada live out its life until the end of 2019, with no replacement in the works. This brings into question the future of the Buick Cascada sold in the United States, since it's basically the same car and produced by Opel in the same factory in Poland. The Cascada has been on sale in other markets since 2012 badged as either an Opel or Vauxhall, but the Buick-badged car was only introduced in North America for the 2016 model year. Of course, Buick could decide to build the model beyond 2019, but it would need to find a new manufacturing location, convertibles aren't exactly popular, and the car would be egregiously old at that point. In other words, it looks like the Cascada is dead after 2019. We asked Buick what the game plan might be, and were told that there is nothing official to say at the moment. That's par for the course for something a manufacturer doesn't want to talk about yet, but it's also possible the announcement came as a surprise. Opel is no longer owned by GM, so the announcement actually came from the brand's new PSA ownership (the same French company that owns Peugeot and Citroen). As for the rationale behind the decision, that was a head scratcher, too. Opel/PSA said it was discontinuing the Cascada, as well as the subcompact Adam and Karl, in order to meet increasingly stringent emissions requirements and produce crossovers instead. This seems contradictory. Replacing a low-selling convertible and a pair of low-profit subcompacts with high-selling, high-profit crossovers sure seems like a solid business decision more than an emissions requirement one. Indeed, the Buick Cascada has never been a raging success in the United States either, with only 5,595 leaving the lots in 2017. It helped bring in some different kinds of customers to the Buick brand, but the impact is minute compared to a vehicle like the hot-selling Buick Encore.
