I'VE OWNED THIS CAR SINCE 1996. I PURCHASED IT FROM THE ORIGINAL OWNERS NEPHEW. HE OWNED IT FOR LESS THAN 2 YEARS. I COULD TELL IT WAS VERY WELL TAKEN CARE OF WHEN I BOUGHT IT BACK THEN. IT HAD NO RUST. THE ORIGINAL PAINT ONLY HAD SOME MINOR  DULL AREAS. PLUS THE CAR DROVE BEAUTIFULLY ON THE 75 MILE HIGHWAY RIDE BACK TO MY HOUSE. DURING THE NEARLY 17 YEARS I'VE OWNED THE CAR. IT'S BEEN A GARAGE QUEEN. IT HAS NOT SEEN RAIN, NOT TO MENTION SNOW SINCE I'VE OWNED IT. I ONLY DROVE IT TO LOCAL CRUISE NIGHTS AND SOME SUMMER WEEKEND GETAWAYS. 
IN 2002 I DECIDED TO REPAINT IT. THE ORIGINAL PAINT WAS GETTING THIN & HAD SOME SMALL AREAS IT WAS CRACKING. AT THAT TIME I WAS A BODY SHOP MANAGER FOR NEW CAR DEALER. SO I HAD MY BEST BODY TECH REMOVE EVERYTHING. I THEN SENT THE CAR OUT TO BE MEDIA BLASTED. WHEN THE CAR CAME BACK. I COULD SEE THAT IT HAD NEVER BEEN HIT OR HAD ANY BODY REPAIRS. I THEN HAD THE TECH MAKE SURE THE CAR WAS STRAIGHT AS AN ARROW BEFORE PAINT. I PICKED A COLOR THAT I THOUGHT WOULD LOOK AMAZING ON THE CAR. AND I MUST SAY IT DOES! IT WAS PAINTED, WET SANDED, BUFFED & PUT BACK TOGETHER. I'VE THOROUGHLY ENJOYED IT THE 10 PLUS YEARS SINCE!!

2013 Buick Encore nets strong IIHS, NHTSA safety scores

Wed, 05 Jun 2013

After being crushed from every which way and rolled over like a labrador, the 2013 Buick Encore has been named a Top Safety Pick by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. To earn the accolade, a vehicle must achieve the highest rating of "Good" in each of the institute's four main crash tests: Front Moderate Overlap, Side, Rollover and Rear. The Encore aced those four tests with "Good" ratings, but missed out on the coveted Top Safety Pick+ designation by receiving a Poor rating in the institute's new Front Small Overlap test. To be named a Top Safety Pick+, the Encore would need to score at least an "Acceptable" rating in the new test, as well as "Good" in all four original crash tests.
Despite the miss, the Encore joins the Enclave, LaCrosse, Verano and Regal as Top Safety Picks all. If you count only the Encore with all-wheel drive, then all five Buicks have also earned five-star overall ratings from the National Highway Traffic Safety Adminstration, making Buick one of the few manufacturers to offer a full lineup with high scores from both safety rating organizations.
The front-wheel-drive Encore, despite performing equally as well as the all-wheel-drive version in NHTSA's crash tests, only earned four stars overall. As far as we can tell, the discrepancy between the two is because some safety equipment, like Forward Collision Warning and Lane Departure Assist, are optional features on the FWD Encore and standard on the AWD model.

NHTSA, IIHS, and 20 automakers to make auto braking standard by 2022

Thu, Mar 17 2016

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety and virtually every automaker in the US domestic market have announced a pact to make automatic emergency braking standard by 2022. Here's the full rundown of companies involved: BMW, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, Ford, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai, Jaguar Land Rover, Kia, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Subaru, Tesla, Toyota, Volkswagen, and Volvo (not to mention the brands that fall under each automaker's respective umbrella). Like we reported yesterday, AEB will be as ubiquitous in the future as traction and stability control are today. But the thing to note here is that this is not a governmental mandate. It's truly an agreement between automakers and the government, a fact that NHTSA claims will lead to widespread adoption three years sooner than a formal rule. That fact in itself should prevent up to 28,000 crashes and 12,000 injuries. The agreement will come into effect in two waves. For the majority of vehicles on the road – those with gross vehicle weights below 8,500 pounds – AEB will need to be standard equipment by September 1, 2022. Vehicles between 8,501 and 10,000 pounds will have an extra three years to offer AEB. "It's an exciting time for vehicle safety. By proactively making emergency braking systems standard equipment on their vehicles, these 20 automakers will help prevent thousands of crashes and save lives," said Secretary of Transportation Anthony Foxx said in an official statement. "It's a win for safety and a win for consumers." Read on for the official press release from NHTSA.

Automakers making the commitment are Audi, BMW, FCA US LLC, Ford, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai, Jaguar Land Rover, Kia, Maserati, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Mitsubishi Motors, Nissan, Porsche, Subaru, Tesla Motors Inc., Toyota, Volkswagen and Volvo Car USA.

GM China President says automaker could export vehicles from China to US

Sat, 20 Apr 2013

At a press conference on Saturday at the Shanghai Motor Show, General Motors announced plans to further expand its presence in the Chinese market. Among those commitments are plans to build four new plants by the end of 2015, giving the automaker the capacity to produce around five million vehicles a year in the country.
In order to make the most of that expansion, GM is adding 400 dealerships in China this year alone (for a total of 4,200 sales points), and it's eyeing 5,100 dealers by 2015. Yet not all of that production will stay in China - GM is planning to increase exports as well. Officials estimate the company will export somewhere between 100,000 and 130,000 Chinese-built vehicles this year - a record. And it's gunning for more.
Autoblog asked GM China president Bob Socia (above) if that means the company might eventually export new vehicles built in China to the United States, and he responded:
