If you're reading this ad, you've probably been looking for just the right Reatta to enjoy and drive. Look no further, this is it! This example is sporting just over 140,000 original miles. Just barely getting broken in. I have personally driven Reattas with over 280,000 miles. These cars, if well maintained, will last a long time. I bought this car in Rock Hill, SC in 2012, and This car has been my personal car for over two years, and I've driven it almost on a daily basis during warm months. It is garaged during the winter, and as I said before, is completely rust free. During my ownership, along with regular oil changes, I have fixed, isntalled, and upgraded the following items ~New Haartz cloth convertible top with heated glass back window (April 2013 - 134,000 miles) Upgraded from factory original vinyl to a durable top that will last for years. ~New color keyed headliner. (April 2013 - 134,000 miles) Tan to match the interior. Replaced the factory black, and removes the claustrophobic cave feel. ~New ABS Brake accumulator (July 2012 - 123,000 miles) A must have on any Reatta to ensure the reliability of the brake system ~Refurbished headlight motors with lifetime limited warranty (June 2012 122,000 miles) Headlight problems are a guarnteed problem with Reattas. No need to ever worry about it with this car. ~NOS sunvisor clips installed (February 2013 - 133,500 miles) These are normally broken. I replaced with New Old Stock from GM ~Refurbished factory radio and CD player (January 2013 - 133,500) the CD player is a rare option on 1990 and 1991 Reattas. This one has been professionally overhauled. ~New speakers all around (June 2012 - 122,000 miles) The entire stereo has been gone through and sounds like new ~New Monroe Sensatrac struts on all four corners (June 2013 -135,000 miles) No bouncing, rattling, moaning, or any other unpleasant sounds. The car rides like a true Buick again. ~New brake pads on all four corners (June 2013 -135,000 miles) Yet again, another thing you don't have to worry about with this car. ~New 16" chrome wheels with custom Reatta center caps (September 2012 -129,000 miles) They add a look to this Reatta that you just won't find on any other car. ~New Toyo Versado 215/60/16 tires (September 2012 -129,000 miles) Ride great, very quiet, and still have tons of rubber left on them. Many more miles of carefree cruising. Not to mention the beautifully working A/C (converted to R134a) that blows hard and cold, and the overall great condition of the car. No rips or tears in the leather upholstery, the optional 16-way power driver's seat works flawlessly in all functions. The 16-way seats were engineered by Leer Corp and really give you great support. The best description I have heard of to describe them is that they feel like you're sitting IN them rather than on them which is what you feel with the standard seats. I am 5' 11" and very comfortable. I have some customers that are over 6' and will not have anything but a 16-way seat in their car because it's so much more comfortable. Particularly to tall people The car comes with the original window sticker. The car was originally a Buick Motor Division Show Car. It's equipped with all availble options, even the YF5 California Emissions Certification. All of this information is on the window sticker for your viewing pleasure. Being a BMD showcar, when it was finally sold to the public, it was given simply the owners manual in the leather sleeve. Not the coveted Owner's Portfolio that Reattas are known for having. I do have an extra complete owner's portfolio that I can include with the car for $500 extra of the final sale price. This may not be a perfect original example, but it is a stunning car that's fun to drive, and is very comfortable for two people and luggage. Day trips to the beach or the mountains, or long trips to wherever! The perfect retirement car to tour in. Not to mention it's a great car for tooling around town in running errands and taking to Friday night cruise-ins. The paint is a 7/10. Not perfect, but very presentable. It has two small chips in the front windshield on the driver's side (see picture). The previous owner said he had them sealed, and they have never spread or been an issue for me. They aren't in the driver's line of sight. The engine runs smooth, the transmission shifts like butter, and it rides like a Buick should. These cars were known for having bad cowl-shake problems going down the road between 49 and 52 MPH. This one you can feel a little bit, but it's barely noticeable. In my experience buying Reatta convertibles, it's always the higher-milage cars that have less cowl shake. My only explanation is that they rode better, and thus got driven much more. So while you may be considering some other 40,000 mile beauties in your Reatta search, consider how much less you'll be driving the car if you're uncomfortable with the ride. Why am I selling? I have 5 other Reattas, and my garage is full. I've had this car for a couple summers and have gotten my use out of it, and need the money to put into other projects. I have over $11,000 invested, but I deduct a certain amount per year of the car's value in the amount of enjoyment I receive from it. Whether it's for long road trips, beach trips or ice cream runs with the kids or grand kids, or just for the night out with your significant other, this Reatta is sure to serve you well and bring thumbs-up and bewildered looks wherever you drive her. Have any questions? Feel free to call me any time (919) 233 1973. I have more pictures available upon request. I'm glad to meet locals to see the car in person if you're interested. I reserve the right to end the auction at any time. Deposit of $500 due at the end of the auction. The remaining money must be paid in cash upon pick-up. The reserve is below the Buy it Now price. Car is located in Raleigh NC. Fly into RDU and drive home. We can discuss delivery options if you do not want to pick it up, however, it must be paid in full before I start the trip. My rate for delivery is $2.00/mile. Which includes all of my gas and other vehicle expenses. There's no place I won't go, so don't think I won't deliver it that far. Just ask, I may do it. |

2014 Chevy Malibu, Buick LaCrosse recalled over brake mix-up
Thu, 08 May 2014The recall madness over at General Motors isn't letting up anytime soon, as evidenced by this latest call-back of 8,208 Chevrolet Malibu and Buick LaCrosse sedans. For those keeping track, this is the fifth recall that GM has announced in the past two weeks, not to mention the massive ignition-switch issue from earlier this year.
GM issued a statement saying these sedans are being recalled due to "possible reduced braking performance," according to Automotive News. The problem? Rear brake rotors may have accidentally been installed in the front brake assembly. And since both cars use more robust braking systems up front than out back, braking power could be reduced, increasing the risk of a crash.
Automotive News reports that, of the over 8,000 cars being recalled, about 1,700 are currently in the hands of customers, while the others are still in dealer inventory. GM is unaware of any crashes or injuries related to this problem. All of the affected vehicles are from the 2014 model year.

Buick Velite 6 to come in PHEV, electric versions for China
Wed, Apr 18 2018In addition to the all-electric Enspire crossover concept revealed this week ahead of the Beijing Auto Show, Buick is adding a new production variant to its Velite series of electrified vehicles for China. It's called the Velite 6, a plug-in hybrid that will launch this year in Buick's largest market. A full-electric version, shown in the lead photo above at right, is coming later. Buick already sells a vehicle called a Velite 5 in China, which is essentially a rebadged Chevrolet Volt, only with a higher electric-only driving range. This one is based on the Velite concept PHEV introduced in late 2016 at Auto Guangzhou. The PHEV and battery-electric versions look nearly identical, with a wide stance, plenty of creases and a hatchback design that bears some similarities to the longer 2018 Regal TourX wagon. The Velite 6 uses two AC permanent-magnet synchronous motors, a lithium-ion battery and a 1.5-liter four-cylinder combustion engine. Buick says combined gas-electric driving range is 435 miles, which is 15 miles greater than the Volt. Buick will assemble what it calls the "new-generation" ternary battery pack at its new SAIC-GM Power Battery Development Center in Shanghai. The company says the Velite 6 electric vehicle "will adopt a new-generation pure electric drive system to offer customers a smooth, quiet and natural driving experience." Both models get the cloud-based Buick eConnect technology, which allows over-the-air software updates, real-time integration with China's WeChat social media network, and other digital perks. Owners will also be able to use their smartphone as the vehicle's key, and they can also authorize others to use the car through their phones. China has long been Buick's largest market, with more than 1.18 million vehicles sold in 2017 compared to just 219,231 in the U.S., and the country has established aggressive mandates for production of electric vehicles. GM has plans to add 20 new electric and fuel-cell vehicles globally by 2023. Related Video:
