THIS IS A 3 DAY AUCTION ONLY!!!!! Up for bids is a 2002 Buick Rendezvous AWD with 3rd row seating. This vehicle developed an oil leak at the sensor and the owner let the oil level get low and it messed up the bottom end of the engine. The engine will need replaced or the one that's in it can be repaired with a crank shaft kit. No other engine parts are damaged. The Buick has 142000 miles on it and it was being used everyday until the engine problem occurred. This vehicle has just had 4 new tires put on it right before the engine messed up so you know it was being driven daily. The tires are high dollar Cooper tires which are probably $150 each. I cannot tell you a lot about the vehicle as it came to me with this problem but as I said if it weren't a good SUV they would not have put that much in tires for it.It did run but the bottom end of the engine had noise. I pulled the oil pan off to see how bad the damage was and I have it and all the bolts to put it back. Just didn't see the need to reinstall it when it would have to come off again anyway. This Rendezvous is loaded with most every option you could get including the 3rd row seating and backup assist. The interior shows some wear but nothing major although it does need cleaning some. The exterior of this Buick is extra nice as its not all beat up or scratched very much. The paint shines good and the wheels are aluminum and will clean up nice. You can find these engines in most salvage yards very cheap as lots of GM vehicles had the same engine. Drop the engine in and you will have a great SUV for very little investment. The reserve is low and considering the vehicle condition you don't want to miss out on this deal. Remember it has 4 new tires on it which probably cost a total of $600 or more. Checkout my feedback as it is well over 500 and all positive so rest assure your dealing with an honest ebayer. You don't get great feedback like that if you lie and cheat people, I tell it like it is. PLEASE bid only if you are a serious buyer as it costs money to relist these items. I reserve the right to end the auction early as it is listed for sale locally also. Thanks for looking and good luck should you decide to bid on this great Buick Rendezvous. If you have less than 10 positive feedback you need to email me and assure me you are a serious bidder or I will cancel you bid. Sorry. Also this Buick has a very high retail book price when its repaired so the buy it now price I have is a steal. Don't miss out and remember this is a 3 DAY AUCTION.!!!!!

The picture of the odometer is NOT the odometer in the Buick it is of a Isuzu Rodeo I have listed for sale. The mileage in the listing is correct at 142,000. Sorry for the mix up.

Junkyard Gem: 1990 Buick Reatta

Wed, Oct 4 2017

General Motors built some interesting sporty cars during the late 1980s and early 1990s, as the company attempted to claw back market share from European manufacturers of high-end two-doors. There was the mean-looking Oldsmobile Trofeo, the Turin-to-Hamtramck Cadillac Allante, and the gadget-packed Buick Reatta. Here's an example of the latter car, wearing Maui Blue paint and residing in a Denver self-service wrecking yard. There was a lot to like about the Reatta, but the powertrain came as a disappointment: the ancient, rough-running pushrod Buick 3.8-liter V6 engine, driving the front wheels through a four-speed automatic transmission. The 3800 engine made 165 horses in 1990, which wasn't bad for that year, but Reatta money would have bought you a new 1990 BMW 3-Series with a tuneful 168-horse DOHC straight-six. The Buick V6 was something of an Albanian grain-thresher motor compared to the engines in the Reatta's European rivals' cars: rugged but crude. The pre-1990 Reattas came with Buick's amazing touchscreen computer interface, which may have scared off the most conservative Buick traditionalists. This car had more typical-for-1990 controls. Only 6,388 Reatta coupes were made for 1990, so we're looking at one rare Buick here. Handcrafted by these artisans in Lansing.

Consumer Reports says infotainment systems 'growing first-year reliability plague'

Mon, 27 Oct 2014

The Consumer Reports Annual Auto Reliability Survey (right) is out, and the top two spots look much the same as last year's list with Lexus and Toyota in first and second place, respectively. However, there are some major shakeups for 2014, with Acura plunging eight spots from third in 2013 to 11th this year, and Mazda replaces it on the lowest step of the podium. Honda and Audi round out the top five. This year's list includes six Japanese brands in the top 10, two Europeans, one America and one Korean.
Acura isn't the only one taking a tumble, though. Infiniti is the biggest loser this year by dropping 14 spots to 20th place. Other big losses come from Mercedes-Benz with an 11-place fall to 24th, and GMC, which declines 10 positions to 19th.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, it's not traditional mechanical bugs hauling down these automaker's reliability scores. Instead, pesky problems with infotainment systems are taking a series toll on the rankings. According to Consumer Reports, complaints about "in-car electronics" were the most grumbled about element in new cars. Problem areas included things like unresponsive touchscreens, issues pairing phones and multi-use controllers that refused to work right.

Buick confirms US-market Envision CUV to be built in China

Fri, Dec 4 2015

As expected, the Buick Envision will come to the US market in 2016, and as rumored, it'll be GM's first product imported from the People's Republic. Buick confirmed the news today, while also releasing a number of technical details on the mid-size CUV, which has sold nearly 130,000 units in the Chinese domestic market in the first 11 months of 2015. When it arrives in US dealers next summer, the Envision will feature a 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder EcoTec four-cylinder. Good for an estimated 252 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque, the four-pot turbo is paired to a well-received six-speed Hydra-Matic 6T70 transmission. That's the same automatic gearbox that's offered in the turbocharged Regal and Regal GS and the current six-cylinder LaCrosse. The entire affair is underpinned by torque-steer-fighting HiPer strut front suspension, a crossover first for Buick, with a four-link setup in back. According to Buick, the Envision will also get the same Active Twin Clutch all-wheel-drive system being offered on the Cadillac XT5 and the new LaCrosse. Like the Chinese-market Envision, Buick is offering the USDM model with active grille shutters, LED running lights, LED taillights, heated front/rear seats, a heated steering wheel, 19-inch wheels, and a Bose stereo as standard. Buick also lists highlights like Active Noise Cancellation and an eight-inch IntelliLink infotainment system, although it's not clear whether these are standard features. There's no word on which auto show the Envision will debut at. Considering the timing, next month's Detroit Auto Show is a strong contender, although if Buick wanted to really drum up headlines ahead of its on-sale date next summer, it'd formally introduce its newest CUV in April, at the New York Auto Show. Either way, expect to see more of this handsome, Chinese-built CUV soon.

It was awarded Motor Trend SUV of the Year in China and has 127,085 sales so far this year. When it goes on sale in 2016, it will play an important role in a crossover lineup that currently represents 60 percent of Buick sales in North America. It targets customers shopping between the Encore, the best-selling Buick in eight years, and the Enclave, which has continued to grow its customer base since its 2007 introduction.
