I am the second owner of this vehicle - original owner was a family friend.<><>Vehicle has been parked and not driven since 2000 with current DMV NON-OP.<><>Fresh fuel and fuilds have been maintained and I ran the engine bi-monthly.<><>The engine does/and always has run smooth - no abnormal or unusual noises.<><>With the exception of an occasional dead battery, this vehicle has never failed to start for me.<><>While road operated, oil was changed every 3K.<><> ALL ORIGINAL BODY, ENGINE, INTERIOR, PAINT, GLASS, ETC..<><>Other than oil, plugs, filters, brake pads, etc.... I believe the only parts I replaced (years ago) were the shocks and master cylinder. The engine is a GM350V8 with a 4 barrel carburetor.<><><><><>DISCLOSURE: KNOWN ISSUES: 1) There are areas (patches) of rust around the back windshield and back side glass. CAUSE: Over the years the vinyl top had ripped allowing water to be trapped at the base of the roof. This vehicle has only and always been in California - there is no lower body rust. 2) The valve cover gaskets are dry and cracked so when the engine runs for 5 to10 minutes, smoke can be seen coming off the exhaust mainfolds. No major leaks from lower end/oil pan area but there are some in the transmission area. Back when I drove it, I did have to add transmission fluid once a month or so to keep the level up and avoid slippage.<><> Engine never burned any noticable amount of oil (i.e.- didn't blow smoke). 3) Paint is completely faded and interior shows wear on driver's seat and driver's floor board, otherwise overall fair to decent condition for it age. 4) Some trim and molding missing or damaged and much of the rubber/grommets are worn and/or torn. 5) For reasons unknown (?) the trunk lock recently stopped working, but the full size spare was out when this occurred. I chose not to force it open in the case that it can be repaired or opened from inside.<><><><><> POSITIVES: "ALL ORIGINAL - NO ACCIDENTS - RUNNING/LOW MILEAGE ENGINE (under 68K)"<><><><><> My goal was to someday restore it, but I no longer have the time, space, money, and/or energy. This car was always very pleasurable to drive. It was solidly built, weighing in at aprx.5700 lbs.. With a fair amount of TLC this vehicle can again be made road worthy.<><><><><> PAYMENT: Within 2 DAYS of winning bid I require a $500 DEPOSIT to be made through PayPal and the balance to be paid in CASH, IN PERSON, at the time buyer takes possession of the vehicle. Possession of vehicle is to be taken within than 10 DAYS of cleared deposit. BUYER TO ARRANGE FOR TRANSPORT. Extra time may be allotted to facilitate buyer's transport arrangements as long as PAYMENT HAS BEEN MADE IN FULL. I have not tried to mask or hide any of this vehicle's issues, i.e.- primering, sanding, faded paint areas and/or puttying rusted areas, because I felt it best to let the buyer see it as it currently and physically is. Conversely, the white patches/areas above the back side windows are actually some kind of glue or putty the manufacturer used to hold down the vinyl top.<><> I will gladly answer any and all questions, please ask before you bid. I can also supply more detailed and specific area photos at inquirers request.

Thank you.

MotorWeek remembers the nearly forgotten Buick Reatta

Thu, Feb 18 2016

The Reatta was Buick's failed experiment to take on European competitors with its own two-seat luxury coupe and convertible. The model only lasted a few years, and US customers didn't see another droptop from the brand until the Cascada. The latest MotorWeek Retro Review takes a look back at the short-lived roadster and remembers it quite fondly. Host John Davis calls the 1990 Reatta droptop "one of the best looking convertibles ever." His sentiment seems a little hyperbolic, but the roadster is definitely an attractive machine by the standards of the time. The smooth front end and pop-up headlights are reminiscent of Japanese sports cars of era, and the profile with the top down is elegant. There are weaknesses, though. The manual roof mechanism appears cumbersome to operate, and the crude digital instruments, which simulate physical dials, make the cabin look too dated. Other than a complaint about over-boosted power steering, MotorWeek enjoys how the Reatta drives, too. Buick's roadster is largely forgotten today, but such glowing praise suggests it deserves to be better remembered. Check out this Retro Review to look back on this interesting experiment from the early '90s. Related Video:

2020 Buick Encore, Encore GX set for Shanghai debut

Tue, Apr 2 2019

Buick says it will debut the all-new 2020 Encore small crossover and new-for-China Encore GX compact crossover at the Buick Brand Night April 15 in Shanghai on the eve of Auto Shanghai 2019. They'll join the updated 2020 LaCrosse and LaCrosse Avenir sedans, which GM is discontinuing here in the U.S. Buick released a darkened teaser image of both vehicles in rear three-quarters view, though it's a little hard to tell which is which (we're going with the GX being the one on the right). It suggests the Encore gets more streamlined taillights that taper along the rear liftback, with some redesigned creases on the door panels and haunches. The latter don't appear to be present on the Encore GX, which Buick says is a new addition to the model series in China. Both will be offered with GM's new nine-speed Hydra-Matic and continuously variable transmissions, plus what Buick says will be "enhanced connectivity," including new technologies. They'll join the Envision and Enclave for China, which is Buick's largest market. First introduced in 2013, The Encore was last refreshed for 2017. It has been the top-selling Buick model in the U.S. for the past 3 years, with 93,073 sold last year, up 5.7% from 2017.

GM applies for 'Enspire' trademark for the second time

Thu, Dec 20 2018

When we wrote about the Buick Enspire concept debut in China earlier this year, we said "we wouldn't be surprised to see either an all-new crossover, or a redesigned current model, sporting the designs seen on this concept." Now it appears General Motors might be planning to go with Option A. GM Authority discovered a trademark application for the name "Enspire," to be applied to "Automobiles, excluding motor homes." This is the second time GM filed for the name, the first being in 2015. As always, applications don't mean certainties. However, we know Buick has a range of new models in development, it's losing the LaCrosse sedan and its crossovers sell quite well. If there's to be a new vehicle called Enspire, it shouldn't be hard to guess what kind it would be. GMA's previous investigations picked up clues that there'll be two new Buick crossovers, one about the size of the China-sourced Envision and sitting on the E2 platform that supports the Cadillac XT4, Chevrolet Malibu, and Buick Regal. Based on data in an IHS Automotive document, the site said the putative Enspire's platform code is E2UB, the U for utility vehicle, the B for Buick. The other crossover would sit above an Envision, below the Enclave, on the short-wheelbase C1 platform employed by the Cadillac XT5. We can probably take the Enspire concept's design cues as a preview of the future, if not its electric drivetrain. Designers carved the wide, formidable stance with curved and elongated versions of traditional Buick brand cues, such as the grille crossbar stretching into the headlights. A futuristic, art-filled and screen-heavy interior contrasts with genuine wood, and is probably best not to look at because Buick couldn't bring anything like it to production. The electric drivetrain included a 550-horsepower electric motor and enough battery to power a 370-mile range. Those figures seem a little outlandish given the potential price tag and the Buick badge. Besides, GM has other plans for a dedicated EV powertrain in development that should bow around 2021, and a Buick EV based on the Chevrolet Bolt's BEV II architecture. As such, a conventional powertrain seems more likely for an Enspire crossover, at least initially. The same IHS Automotive document said the E2UB vehicle would go into production in Shanghai in late 2019.
