This Park Avenue was bought by my parents from a local GM dealership in 2002 for over $17,000, with a mileage of 33,212. Mom drove it for a few years, then they bought her something new. Then Dad drove it until he wisely stopped driving due to health problems, and he passed away in Fall of 2012. It has been parked in Mom's covered carport since, but has been driven occasionally or borrowed (by us) when one of our cars was in the shop. Since they rode with us on long trips, this car pretty much had light, gentle use. Dad loved this car and all its bells and whistles. We live where it is very balmy (South Georgia), so there is no salt damage, but there is a new A/C compressor and it has been recently charged, so the air works well. (We roast here without a/c!) It runs well, and all power equipment seems to be working fine. It has a new battery as well. The interior is very clean, but when I was cleaning the back of the driver's seat, a little of the cleaner (not bleach) dripped onto the carpet below and discolored it. I included a photo of it, but the mat can be turned around and that area not seen at all. Just trying to be honest. The leather seats are still in great condition, and the interior is very clean. My parents never smoked in it, or had others that smoked in it. The back of the car does stick out a little from the carport, so the rear bumper has some peeling and fading. Other than that, much of the car has had a good quality, more recent paint job. The color is so dark that it is hard to get photos to show minor things, but I will gladly send more photos to serious buyers. The tires are in very good condition, and should have many more miles on them. The car itself should have many more miles to go! Kelley Blue Book value is about $4600.

The color is so dark that it is hard to get photos to show minor things, but I will gladly send more photos to serious buyers. The tires are in very good condition, and should have many more miles on them. The car has been in one accident of any significance. That was when Mom was in it, stopped and about to turn right out of a gas/convenience store lot. A truck driver had been stopped to run into the store, but he didn't find what he was looking for, jumped in his truck, and was going to turn right at the same place Mom was waiting for a chance to turn. He claimed he didn't see the car, and he essentially shaved the outer panels off the drivers' corner of the car. Of course, the outer panels, the hood, the grille, the left light, the door (maybe both doors) on that side were damaged. Although Mom honked the horn for all she was worth, the truck driver kept on going, took the nearby entrance to the bypass, and stopped at another convenience store near the edge of town, where he was apprehended. Mom was fine, but was told she would have been killed if her door had been open. A little boy witnessed the incident, and his mom brought him over to see that Mom was fine because he was so shaken up. This car is solid, and we are so thankful it protected her well. The shop that did the bodywork on it charges reasonable prices, and over $6,000 was spent in repairs, but they told us the frame was NOT compromised. It was a severe accident in that it could have resulted in injury, and it was over $6,000 to repair the right way. The trucking company did pay (and hopefully, they fired the driver). The owner of the shop that did the repairs is also posting a sale flyer for the car, and he said it was well worth the asking price of $3800. He said "It's a good car", and is offering it to others who have expensive repairs who might want to just buy this one. This is why the paint, the grille, and trim look "younger" than you would expect for a 1999. This car needs to be driven and enjoyed a lot more than it has lately. The Kelley Blue Book value is about $4600. On Jul-21-14 at 21:59:23 PDT, seller added the following information: A few pictures, including views of the tires and of flaws have been posted. It was sprinkling, so there are specks of water on the car in photos, but used opportunity to make sure the wipers work, which they do. Worst interior problem is that Buick should have used a little more material to wrap around some plastic trim on the "door" sides of the front seats. I'm sure this must have happened with all of them, but there is probably a simple way to improve the look. Seatbelt hid it from my notice first time. Drove it a mile or two today, and engine is quiet but has strong acceleration. Stereo was probably hardly used, so I tried the radio, CD, and Cassette, and all work fine. Driver's seat has lumbar adjustment along with standard ones. Seat belts are in very good condition, but could use a little upholstery shampoo. Tires have good tread, and seem to be wearing evenly. Is this car perfect? No, but for its age, it is in amazing condition! |

Thanks for keeping us on our toes, Detroit Auto Show [w/poll]
Wed, Jan 14 2015Here at Autoblog, we love unexpected debuts at auto shows – and judging by our Detroit Auto Show comments and traffic, you do, too. Surprise reveals have been fewer and farther between in recent years with so many ways for vehicles to be teased or leak out, but this week's show has been a revelation. More to the point, it's been a series of revelations, with automakers from around the globe successfully delivering a brace of concept and production surprises. It's made our jobs a lot more exciting and challenging this week, and even though it's actually more work to react and run-and-gun when the sheet is pulled on a surprise reveal than it is to publish an already-written embargoed story, we've had more fun covering this show for you than any domestic show in memory. We hope you've enjoyed the surprises along with us. To that end, borrowing the words of an unnamed automaker PR flack, we'd like to thank the following automakers for enduring "mountain of antacids" and that "creeping sense of paranoia" necessary to keeping ones' wares totally under wraps until the sheets are pulled off the sheetmetal: Buick Avenir concept Chevrolet Bolt concept Ford GT concept Ford Mustang Shelby GT350R Ford F-150 SVT Raptor Hyundai HCD-15 Santa Cruz concept And while we're at it, we'd like to throw in an shout-out to Detroit's substantially revised and revitalized Cobo Center, and in particular, the redone Michelin media center, which is arguably the single best accommodations for writing show stories that we've encountered on the entire international circuit. Well done, everyone. Thank you, and keep the surprises coming. Auto News Detroit Auto Show Buick Chevrolet Ford Hyundai Volvo 2015 Detroit Auto Show
GM expands headlight recall to 180k Buicks and Pontiacs
Thu, Aug 20 2015General Motors is issuing an expanded headlight module recall to include 180,504 examples in North America of the 2005 Buick LaCrosse (2008 model year pictured above) and 2007 Pontiac Grand Prix. Specifically, the campaign affects 159,584 of them in the US and 20,920 in Canada. When the part fails, the vehicles' low beams can stop working either intermittently or permanently. "GM is unable to confirm any crashes, injuries or fatalities related to this condition," the company said in a statement, and there's currently no permanent repair for the problem. For now, dealers will replace the headlamp module with a new example of the same part. The automaker first announced this campaign in November 2014 when it affected 316,357 examples globally of the 2006-09 Buick LaCrosse; 2006-2007 Chevy TrailBlazer and TrailBlazer EXT; 2006-2007 GMC Envoy and 2006 GMC Envoy XL; 2006-2007 Buick Rainier; 2006-2008 Saab 9-7X; and 2006-08 Isuzu Ascender.

GM to offer U.S. Buick dealers buyouts
Sat, Sep 3 2022General Motors Co said Friday it will offer all of its estimated 2,000 U.S. Buick franchise dealers buyouts as it moves to make the brand all-electric by 2030 in the United States. The Wall Street Journal reported the news earlier, quoting Global Buick chief Duncan Aldred who is set to discuss the plans with dealers Friday in a virtual meeting. He noted shifting to EVs will require significant investments by Buick dealers. "So if they want to exit the Buick franchise, then we will give them monetary assistance to do so," Aldred told the newspaper. Buick said in June it plans to introduce its first EV in 2024, but did not provide specifics. "The future dealer requirements are a logical and necessary next step on our path towards electrification to ensure our dealers are prepared to properly sell and service these unique vehicles," a GM spokeswoman told Reuters Friday. Last year, GM's Cadillac brand said it had thinned its dealer network as it shifts to EVs, saying it has nearly 40% fewer U.S. dealers than in 2018. GM booked a total of $274 million in costs during 2020 and 2021 related to the effort to buy out Cadillac dealers who were not prepared to invest $200,000 to $500,000 per store in the equipment and training to support the brand's shift to an all-electric vehicle lineup, planned by 2030. Buick traces its roots back nearly 120 years — five years before GM's 1908 founding — to an era when electric cars briefly outsold gasoline models in the United States. All Buicks sold back then were gasoline-powered. Future Buick electric vehicles in the United States and China will carry the Electra name, which dates back more than 60 years, along with an alphanumeric designator.
