2001 Buick Regal Gs Supercharged 3.8 Liter Very Good Condition Low Miles on 2040-cars
Minneapolis, Minnesota, United States
Are you looking for a VERY reliable daily driver that is not only sporty and quick but also gets EXCELLENT gas mileage? Then this vehicle is for you!! Years ago General Motors came out with a power plant that would soon be known as being bulletproof and one of the most reliable engines ever designed, which is the 3800 (3.8 liter) V6. The 3800 has been used in MANY GM cars for years and happens to be the power plant in the vehicle I have for sale here. Up for auction is a 2001 Buick Regal GS which not only comes with the bulletproof 3800 Series II engine but also is SUPERCHARGED! The vehicle is in VERY good shape both inside and out with some imperfections, but has absolutely NO rust and the interior doesn't have ANY rips or tears. I had been driving a couple A to B cars and due to some financial problems I wasn't able to initially get a car loan. My father was willing to help me so I could get a car loan. I began working at a Chrysler dealership and one of the employee perks was being able to get a vehicle so the only reason for sale is because my work offered a vehicle, otherwise I would still be driving this car. It runs GREAT and is not only quick and fun to drive but it gets GREAT gas mileage. In addition Buicks are known for their EXCELLENT ride quality! I on average got 24-26 mpg on the highway and 95% of the miles were highway miles. As I said before this has the popular and VERY durable General Motors 3800 Series II block and has ONLY 82000 which if maintained is barely broke in for that specific power plant. The entire time I have owned it I have changed the oil every 2500 miles using Mobil One Synthetic oil and have only used Premium gasoline of 92 octane or higher. The vehicle has never been raced or beat on, the transmission fluid and filter have been changed and that has been it. The supercharger fluid was checked every oil change and none has ever had to be added. Many of these vehicles have had smaller supercharger pulley, under drive pulleys. upgraded supercharges, cold air intakes, different chips, etc but this vehicle is 100% stock with no modifications. The only performance item installed is a K & N panel filter in the factory air box. This vehicle is FULLY LOADED! It has leather interior, dual power seats, Monsoon stereo system, power windows, power locks and power mirrors. Being I live in MN I had bought a pair of Nokian Hakkapeliitta R2 winter tires for the front and only drove 150 miles before I got my vehicle from my dealership. My father has a Tahoe with brand new Michelin all season tires on it and he had 4 wheel drive and with the Nokian R2s on my drive wheels I stopped 55ft sooner then he did on the snow and the Nokians allow the Regal to go up steep heels with EXTREME ease, they are by far the BEST winter tires I have ever used!! I do have the all season tires that were on the front and it does have all season tires on the rear with tread depths of 5/32 to 6/32 on them. I do owe $3,900 on it so the Buy it Now price is firm so that it can be fully paid off. Please ask any questions prior to bidding and if any other pics are wanted I will be more then happy to take them. The car is being stored at my dealership so if any other pics are wanted it may be the following business day before I can take them if the dealership is closed. I WILL sell to non local bidders but they are responsible for their own shipping arrangements.

2018 Buick Enclave spied looking slim in Death Valley
Thu, Sep 8 2016The nine-year-old Buick Enclave is well past its prime, but this set of spy photos reveals that GM won't put the vehicle out of its misery, but will give the vehicle a large update instead. Our photographers managed to catch Buick testing a heavily-camouflaged 2018 Enclave testing below sea level near Death Valley. Buick was testing the prototype in Nevada earlier this year, but slapped a trailer onto the back of the SUV. Thanks to the camouflage that covers the badging, headlights, taillights, and hood, there's no way to confirm if the prototype is really a Buick or something from Chevrolet. But the circular outline on the grille has us leaning towards it being a Buick. Five LED running lights shine through the heavy camouflage, while Buick's iconic waterfall grille is prominently uncovered. The Enclave, which came out in 2008, shares the same platform as the GMC Acadia and Chevrolet Traverse. With the new Acadia slimming down and ditching the old Lambda platform in favor of the Chi platform, the Enclave will surely follow suit. The Enclave, though, is expected to get a stretched version of the Chi platform with three rows. While the entire body is concealed, the prototype's side profile looks to be slimmer than the current Enclave. With the addition of the new, lighter platform, the Enclave is expected to get GM's new 3.6-liter V6 with a nine-speed automatic transmission added later down the road. The new Enclave is expected to make its debut early next year as a 2018 model, which will be followed by the reveal of the Traverse shortly after.

Mixed sales results, but automaker stocks rise on need for cars in Houston
Fri, Sep 1 2017DETROIT — The Big Three Detroit automakers on Friday reported better-than-expected August sales and issued optimistic outlooks for demand as residents of the Houston area replace flood-damaged cars and trucks after Hurricane Harvey, sending their stocks higher. General Motors, Ford and Fiat Chrysler posted mixed August U.S. sales, with GM up 7.5 percent and Ford and Fiat Chrysler down. Japanese automaker Toyota improved sales by nearly 7 percent, while Honda fell 2.4 percent. Still, analysts focused on the potential for Detroit automakers to cut inventories and stabilize used vehicle prices as residents of Houston, the fourth largest city in the United States, are forced to replace tens of thousands, perhaps hundreds of thousands, of vehicles after the devastation from Hurricane Harvey. Mark LaNeve, Ford's U.S. sales chief, told analysts on Friday that following Hurricane Katrina in 2005 "we saw a very dramatic snapback" in demand. That said, Ford sales fell 2.1 percent in August. It sold 209,897 vehicles in the United States, compared with 214,482 a year earlier. Sales were down 1.9 percent in the Ford division and off 5.8 percent at Lincoln. Demand was down for cars, crossovers and SUVs. It was not clear how many vehicles in the Houston area will be scrapped, LaNeve said, saying he had seen estimates ranging from 200,000 to 400,000 to 1 million. Ford's Houston dealers may have lost fewer than 5,000 vehicles in inventory, he said. Ford is the No. 1 automaker in the Houston market, with 18 percent share, according to IHS Markit. The company plans to ship used vehicles to Houston dealers and has "every indication we would have to add some production" of new vehicles to meet demand, LaNeve said. Investor concerns about inventories of unsold vehicles and falling used car prices have weighed on Detroit automakers' shares most of this year. Now, automakers can anticipate a jolt of demand from a big market that is a stronghold for Detroit brand trucks and SUVs. "It's got to be a positive for the industry," LaNeve said. Investors appeared to agree. GM shares rose as much as 3.3 percent to their highest since early March. Ford increased 2.8 percent at $11.34, and Fiat Chrysler's U.S.-traded shares were up 5.2 percent $15.91, hitting their highest in more than five years. GM reported a 7.5 percent increase in U.S. auto sales in August, helped by robust sales of crossovers across its four brands.
Junkyard Gem: 1978 Buick Electra 225
Wed, Dec 21 2016The Buick Electra was a big, plush, dignified land yacht for the 1959 through 1976 model years, but certain events in the middle 1970s, coupled with increasing sales of imported cars, convinced The General that a weight-loss program would help Electra sales. For the 1977 model year, the big Buick became 11 inches shorter and shed close to 900 pounds. Sales took off. Most of these cars are gone now, but I was able to find this faded '78 in a San Francisco Bay Area self-service yard a few weeks back. Just to be clear, the Buick Electra in the iconic Sir Mix-a-Lot video, My Hooptie, is a 1969 model. That car was much bigger and more powerful than today's Junkyard Gem. This car has the optional Oldsmobile 403-cubic-inch V8 engine under the hood, which was good for 185 horsepower and 320 pound-feet of torque. This is the same type of engine that was badged as a 6.6-liter plant in the Pontiac Firebird Trans Am of Smokey and the Bandit fame, and GM's mix-and-match games with engines from different divisions went on to cause great disgruntlement among buyers who wanted a Buick engine in a Buick. The silver-faced gauges were pretty cool-looking by late-1970s standards. The interior is standard-issue Detroit luxury car for the era: much vinyl, many molded-in fake stitches, plenty of not-trying-very-hard-to-look-real "wood." These cars rode very comfortably and looked sharp, so who cared if the interiors were plasticky? According to Glenn Ford, the '78 Electra carried on an ancient tradition of Buick luxury.
