You are bidding a 1997 Buick LeSabre with 51850 original miles.  Let's start at the motor.  This car is powered by 3800 series V6, which runs as smooth as the day this car was won (I will explain that later).  No leaks from any fluids: oil, brake, transmission, power steering.  This car gets around 30 mpg on the highway.  The interior is in excellent shape.  However, there is a small cigarette burn hole under the floor mat (very small).  All the gauges work and function as they should.  No rips or tears in the seat.  The interior is in great shape and does not reflect a car with 51000 miles on it; it's very nice.  The car's power package which includes A/C, Power Windows, Power Seats, Power Mirrors, Power Truck Release, all work as they should.  The body on the car is in great condition, not showing any signs of paint peel or cracking.  The car does have a door ding, above the front bumper, about the size of a dime.  It did not scratch the paint.  The headlights and taillights are crystal clear, with no clouding.  Again, this is a 51000 mile car, that runs and looks great.  It truly needs nothing.  I would not hesitate to drive this car across country.  As I said earlier, this car was won at a local casino in Connecticut, back in 1997, via a slot machine.  My wife's father hit the jackpot for the car and $20K in cash.  This car was his baby and lucky charm.  It lived in a heated garage and was fully detailed every 30 days.  I have all the original paperwork from the casino where he won the car.  The title is clean, and there is a clean Carfax.  The reason that I am selling the car is as follows: I have no room in my garage and no use for a third car, it's too nice to let sit around.  I will include to the winning bidder the original documents from the casino and a set of winter floor mats.  Any questions, feel free to call me at 475-529-1722.  My name is Joe and please no overseas or low feedback members bid without verbal contact with me prior to bidding.  Good luck to the highest bidder as this is a no reserve auction.

Buyer is responsible for shipping or pickup.  Sold "As IS' and "Where IS".  No warranty is Expressed or Implied.

Nearly half of Buick dealers choose buyout over investing to sell EVs

Wed, Dec 20 2023

In 2022, General Motors gave Buick dealers across the nation a simple choice: invest a significant amount of money to prepare for EVs or opt for a buyout. Over a year later, the brand has reportedly lost nearly half of its dealerships as it prepares to roll out its first electric cars. Trade journal Automotive News reported that the number of Buick dealers in the United States dropped by about 47% during 2023. At the beginning of the year, the network included 1,958 stores; fast-forward to December and that figure stands at approximately 1,000. More dealers could throw in the towel in the coming weeks, as the publication adds that the buyout program remains open and will continue. Dollar figures haven't been released, so we don't know precisely how much money a dealer who opts out can claim from General Motors or how much money a dealer needs to spend to stick with the brand. However, the latter figure falls somewhere between $300,000 and $400,000, Automotive News learned. Dealers notably need to invest in equipment (such as charging stations) and training. Buick doesn't seem fazed by the exodus. "I'm really pleased with where we are. The network, where we are now, is a good size. It's with dealers who are focused on the business, who've shown that they can recover the volume that the dealers who transitioned away were doing," company boss Duncan Aldred said. According to Automotive News, the dealers who chose to stop selling Buick models accounted for about 20% of the brand's sales in the United States. Buick told the publication that around 89% of the American population still lives within 25 miles of one of its dealerships. General Motors extended the same offer to Cadillac dealerships in 2020, and about 150 stores allegedly chose to leave. For context, the dealer network consisted of 880 locations in the United States before executives floated the buyout offer. The dealers who left received between $300,000 to $500,000, the report adds, while preparing to sell electric cars would have set them back by around $200,000. Related video:

GM veteran Bryan Nesbitt tapped to head Buick design

Sat, Jun 6 2015

General Motors styling veteran Bryan Nesbitt (pictured above) took over a new role on Monday as executive director of global Buick design and global architectures. Andrew Smith, who previously did that job and also coordinated the look for Cadillac, has remained in charge of the pen at Caddy with this shift. Nesbitt rose to prominence when he designed the Chrysler PT Cruiser, according to Automotive News. He joined GM in 2001 and has been there ever since in multiple high-level roles. In 2007, he was appointed vice president of design for North America and was later briefly general manager of Cadillac in 2009-2010. Nesbitt took over as the vice president of GM's international operations design in China in 2011. This shuffle also moves Ken Parkinson, currently styling boss for Chevrolet trucks, to China as design vice president there. In addition, John Cafaro becomes the person in charge of the look for Chevy globally, rather than previously splitting that role between cars and trucks with Parkinson. GM Global Design Leadership Changes – effective June 1, 2015. Bryan Nesbitt, Design Vice President, GM China will repatriate to North America and assume the position of Executive Director, Global Buick and Global Architectures. He will be located in Warren, MI. Bryan will be the design Champion for Buick in the US and China. Ken Parkinson, Executive Director, Global Chevrolet Trucks and Global Architecture will assume the position of Design Vice President, GM China. He will be based in Shanghai, China. Andrew Smith, Executive Director, Global Cadillac and Buick Design will assume the position of Executive Director, Global Cadillac. He will continue to be the design Champion for the Cadillac brand. In addition, he will continue to lead the Global Color & Trim team. He will be based in Warren, Michigan. John Cafaro, Executive Director, Global Chevrolet Cars will assume the position of Executive Director, Global Chevrolet. He will be the design Champion for Chevrolet. In addition, John will lead the exterior components and accessories team. He will continue to be based in Warren, MI. The roles and responsibilities of Helen Emsley, Mark Adams, Carlos Barba, Clay Dean, Michael Simcoe, and Teckla Rhoades remain the same.

Next Buick Regal to inherit styling cues from Opel Monza concept

Mon, 06 Oct 2014

Ever look at a concept car from a foreign auto marque like Opel and wonder what relevance it will have to you as an American consumer? Well, we'll tell you: at least as far as the Opel Monza concept goes, it could mean a lot.
Speaking with Automotive News at the Paris Motor Show, Opel chief Karl-Thomas Neumann said, "You will see the Monza when you see the next Insignia." And the Insignia, we needn't point out, is essentially ported over to American showrooms as the Buick Regal.
The relationship between the Regal and Insignia only stands to grow closer as Opel design chief Mark Adams has also been charged with tightening the bonds between the two automakers positioned on opposite shores of the Atlantic. Adams also intends to imbue the next Insignia with more "premium brand values" in order to "add polish to the brand." Which in turn means that the Regal will be designed to look more upscale, too.
