Up for auction is a 2005 Buick LeSabre Custom Sedan with 160,977 highway miles that was used regularly as a vehicle for long distance trips 
between Long Island, NY and the Washington, DC area. It's a very reliable vehicle that has been well maintained, was a non-smoker car and 
always garage kept.  The car comes equipped with a 4-speed automatic transmission, heated leather seats, traction control, CD stereo and full 
interior power features.  It has the Cashmere (dark tan) exterior and tan interior that are a great color combo. I inherited the car from my 
late Aunt Susan's estate, as she sadly passed away earlier this year from a prolonged battle with breast cancer. Title is in now in my name after
being 
transferred to me through probate.  I am selling the vehicle because I have no need for a second vehicle (simply don't drive enough miles to
justify it). 
However, I've had it checked out by a trusted local mechanic and have also been driving it twice a week to ensure it's being run regularly. 
The condition is described below in detail based on what I know.

Condition Report

This car was well maintained by my Aunt due to her regular long trips to DC as she did not want to get stuck on the highway with a breakdown. 
We were very close and talked about a lot of her trips. I only wish I could find the service records for you, not sure where they were kept. Anyway, 
this LeSabre looks great for being 8 years of age and the body is in fantastic shape, as I mentioned it was garage kept it's entire life.
The 3800 (3.8L) V6 motor is strong and powerful. If you do any research on this car, you'll find that this motor is one of the best that GM has ever
made and commonly runs for 300,000+ miles as long as the oil and engine coolant are changed at normal intervals. The car starts u
p effortlessly
every time and the transmission shifts smoothly. The 
heater heats the car up quickly and the A/C blows ice cold. The battery is still going strong
(it's a long life battery so should be good for a 
few more years). The EPA estimates the mileage at 18 mpg city/28 mpg highway.
 I have been getting 25 mpg in mixed highway and local driving.

Below, I am fully disclosing everything I observed visually on the interior and exterior of the car:

On the exterior, the Cashmere paint is in very good condition, with less than normal wear for its age, which means there are a some very minor 
exterior scratches but no dings or damage of any consequence. There isn’t any visible rust on the body either. The paint is likewise very glossy
over the entire body. The undercarriage is clean and in great condition and this car does not have any fluid drips or leaks underneath. The tires 
all have good remaining tread life (20%+), however, one of the rear tires is non-matching (General tire). All are size P215/70R15s.

On the interior, the tan front seats are still in very good shape with no holes or tears and only normal wear, as you will see in the pictures.
The rear seats are in excellent condition and hardly look worn at all. 
All of the trim panels and trim pieces are intact, tight and in great condition.
Driver's seat occasionally shifts ever so slightly on tight cornering but is hardly noticeable - may need bolt tightened. The steering wheel looks good
with only minor wear and a few tiny scratches on a few the steering wheel control buttons. All electronics, lighting, mirrors, windows, interior buttons
and switches are functioning properly except for the driver's heated seat button which is not working - passenger side heated seat is fine. I don't have
an estimate on getting the switch repaired but can't imagine it would be costly, anyway you won't need it for awhile going into Summer.
Also, the 
gauges all work except for the tachometer (RPM gauge). It's basically useless on an automatic and I remember my Aunt saying it
pegged out after 
her factory warranty expired and she never thought it was worth repairing. If it bothers you my mechanic advised the entire instrument
cluster can be sent 
out for repair at $125 parts and 1 hours of labor to remove and re-install the cluster, so ~ $200 fix.

All fluids are in good shape, nothing needs to be replaced for awhile. I just had the oil and filter changed so it's good to go for another 3000+ miles.
Front brakes have 5 mm on the pads and 4 mm on the rear brakes, so you are good there. Rear shocks need to be done soon, but you're OK driving
for now. Incidentally they are air shocks but Monroe makes a conversion kit. I can show you where to get the kit for $110 and then you would just need
to pay labor, unless you can do the work yourself. 
The floor mats are original and clean with normal wear. The trunk area is likewise in good condition
(see photo) and the spare tire, jack and accessories 
are all there. Two factory keys and one fully functional remote are included along with the original
owner's and maintenance manuals in the glove box. 
If you want a second remote, they are going for as low as $15 used in good condition on eBay and
you can get it programmed by an automotive locksmith for $50 (have done this with several cars that don't have on-board programming).  

After I got the new title and registration, just had the car pass NJ inspection. NJ inspection sticker good through May 2015 and it's ready to drive away. 
I would not hesitate to drive this car anywhere, it's that solid.

Will you get a great deal on this LeSabre?

Well of course I am going to say I think you'll get a terrific deal given the vehicle's condition but don’t just take my word for it. The Kelly Blue Book
value for this car is over $5,000. Since this is a NO RESERVE auction you have a chance to save a bundle.

I highly recommend you visit the Kelly Blue Book site to see how highly rated and reliable this car is by hundreds of other consumers
(Overall rating of 8.8/10 which is really a strong rating since many cars are rated under 8/10 very few make it 9/10 or above). 

FREE BONUS

Because I want you to have a great customer experience and be thrilled with the car, you get the following FREE BONUS:

  • Full Tank of Gas - I knows gas prices are high, so the car comes with a full tank to save you a few bucks. ($64 value)

Buy with confidence, 100% positive feedback on 259 ratings since joining eBay in 2000. This is also the eight family vehicle I have sold on eBay Motors,
so you will see other positive feedback in my profile indicating how other eBay Motors buyers felt about their vehicle deal and their experience working
with me as a seller. Integrity is everything when buying a car online.

Please note that since this 2005 Buick LeSabre is also listed locally for sale, so it may be test driven by other potential buyers, thus listed mileage
in this auction may not be exact and is only guaranteed to be accurate within 200 miles.

If you have any questions or concerns about the car, please feel free to give Ryan a call at 732-407-2878. I don’t hide behind my eBay user name
or email address, unlike some other eBay Motors sellers.

Thank you for visiting and happy bidding!

New Buick Verano testing in Germany

Thu, 29 May 2014

A refresh to Buick's popular Verano sedan appears to be nigh, thanks to these spy photos that show the tweaked four-door testing in Germany.
As with the current Verano, the refreshed model will have a great deal in common with its European platform-mates, the Vauxhall/Opel Astra. Each car rides on General Motors's Delta II platform. Unlike the current car, though, the refreshed model's styling could lean more heavily towards its European roots, if these photos are any indication.
Despite its commonality with the Astra Sedan, the Verano has featured its own unique styling since arriving in the US back in 2011 as a 2012 model, with distinct fascias at both the front and back, as wells its own headlight and taillight designs. The two cars were still rebadged vehicles, but it was more subtle than it will be in 2015, when the refreshed Verano arrives. Astra-like elements are expected to dominate, particularly in regards to the headlights and taillights. That said, trademark Buick styling features will remain, like the waterfall grille. Really, then, the 2016 Verano won't be unlike the Regal - a rebadged Vauxhall/Opel Insignia, aside from a few very small styling details.

Buick really wants us to know the new Cascada convertible won't leak

Thu, Apr 16 2015

Quality testing on the factory floor is nothing to joke about. Automakers need to make sure the work being done is up to snuff, and that means some extensive checks. For Buick, that means using a lot of water for each of its Cascada convertibles. Each vehicle that rolls off the floor is subject to a high-pressure, ten-minute soaking that sprays nearly 20 gallons of water from each nozzle during every bath, just to guarantee the fabric roof hasn't sprung any leaks. For some reason, Buick has chosen to show off this testing with the help of what we imagine is the Gorton's Fisherman's baby cousin. Check out the strange testing video, available up top.

Buick, Lexus top J.D. Power survey, as vehicle service improves overall

Fri, Mar 17 2017

Buick and Lexus returned to their customary place atop J.D. Power's scorecard of satisfaction with dealership service departments. In the Customer Service Index Study, out Thursday, Buick scored 860 on a 1,000-point scale for mass-market brands and has topped this ranking in three of the past four years. Lexus topped the list of luxury brands with a score of 874. Fiat and Land Rover were the bottom-dwellers in the two categories. Buick and Lexus also ranked highly in the research company's overall Vehicle Dependability Study rankings out recently. The customer experience at car dealerships has improved steadily, with the overall industry score rising in seven of the past eight years. And one statistic is particularly remarkable: 94 percent of customers say their car was fixed right the first time. The dominant area of difficulty in repairs seems to be infotainment systems. Only 80 percent of respondents said their stereo was fixed right the first time. And in last month's Vehicle Dependability Study, J.D. Power reported that infotainment systems were the most commonly reported vehicle issue, accounting for 22 percent of all problems reported, up 2 percent from the previous year. J.D. Power surveyed 70,000 customers for the Customer Service Index Study. For the Vehicle Dependability Study, it surveyed 35,186 first owners of 2014 model-year vehicles after three years of ownership. Below are charts for both the current study and the complementary overall brand dependability survey. Related video:
