Extremely rare 1979 Buick Riviera S-Type Turbo Model. This is an all-original car with only 49K miles! Only a couple thousand of these were made with BOTH the rare S-Type package AND the factory V-6 Turbo engine - even fewer with this GREAT color combination of white with red sport interior and factory red pinstripes!
As an "S-Type", the exterior has black accents on the rocker trim, window trim and grill, along with special "S-Type" badging. The S-type interior has a special center console (opens for your 8-tracks), black accents on the dash, sport steering wheel, and special bucket seats. This particular car is finished with the eye-catching red interior. As a car equipped with the factory V-6 turbocharged engine, the exterior has special "turbocharged" badging.
This car is equipped with power windows, power door locks, cruise control, AM/FM 8-track stereo with power ant. (all components working!), factory wire wheels, and air conditioning (blows COLD).
The car was a one-owner car until last year and had regular service. Many recent new parts, including brand new radiator, new shocks, new wheel bearings/brakes, new engine mounts, and newer tires. Runs and drives great.
The body is in fantastic shape - all original paint (except driver door was resprayed at one point and could stand to be redone for show, rear fillers were replaced/painted, and various areas have touch up paint from over the years), no dents/rust (except some minor surface spots on the same part of the driver door that was resprayed down above the rocker panel), original chrome (with some hazing). The interior is in BEAUTIFUL condition with only minor wear on the front seats (as shown), some fading on the back of the front seats (the plastic part that can easily be redyed), and headliner was reglued on one side in past (the black spot on the front carpet in one of the pics is just a piece of dirt I should have picked up - not a hole/spot in the carpet).
Please ask all questions before bidding. All shipping arrangements are buyer's responsibility, although I am happy to make the car available for any transporter after full payment is received. The car is sold as is/where is with no warranties express or implied so please feel free to ask any questions/come drive it. This is NOT a 100 point perfect museum piece and is not being held out as such but is a super rare, original collector car in beautiful shape that is over 30 years old so not perfect. Thanks!!

New Buick Verano testing in Germany
Thu, 29 May 2014A refresh to Buick's popular Verano sedan appears to be nigh, thanks to these spy photos that show the tweaked four-door testing in Germany.
As with the current Verano, the refreshed model will have a great deal in common with its European platform-mates, the Vauxhall/Opel Astra. Each car rides on General Motors's Delta II platform. Unlike the current car, though, the refreshed model's styling could lean more heavily towards its European roots, if these photos are any indication.
Despite its commonality with the Astra Sedan, the Verano has featured its own unique styling since arriving in the US back in 2011 as a 2012 model, with distinct fascias at both the front and back, as wells its own headlight and taillight designs. The two cars were still rebadged vehicles, but it was more subtle than it will be in 2015, when the refreshed Verano arrives. Astra-like elements are expected to dominate, particularly in regards to the headlights and taillights. That said, trademark Buick styling features will remain, like the waterfall grille. Really, then, the 2016 Verano won't be unlike the Regal - a rebadged Vauxhall/Opel Insignia, aside from a few very small styling details.
U.S. new-vehicle sales in 2018 rise slightly to 17.27 million [UPDATE]
Thu, Jan 3 2019DETROIT — Sales of new vehicles in the U.S. rose slightly in 2018, defying predictions and highlighting a strong economy. Automakers reported an increase of 0.3 percent over a year ago to 17.27 million vehicles. The increase came despite rising interest rates, a volatile stock market, and rising car and truck prices that pushed some buyers out of the new-vehicle market. Industry analysts and automakers said strong economic fundamentals pushed up sales and should keep them near historic highs in 2019. "Economic conditions in the U.S. are favorable and should continue to be supportive of vehicle sales at or around their current run rate," Ford Chief Economist Emily Kolinski Morris said after the company and other automakers announced their sales numbers Thursday. That auto sales remain near the 2016 record of 17.55 million is a testimonial to the strength of the economy, said Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody's Analytics. The job market, he said, has created new employment, and wage growth has accelerated. "That's fundamental to selling anything," he said. "If there are lots of jobs and people are getting bigger paychecks, they will buy more." The unemployment rate is 3.7 percent, a 49-year low. The economy is thought to have grown close to 3 percent last year, its best performance in more than a decade. Consumers, the main driver of the economy, are spending freely. The Federal Reserve raised its key interest rate four times in 2018 but is only expected to raise it twice this year. Auto sales also were helped by low gasoline prices and rising home values, Zandi said. It all means that people are likely to keep buying new vehicles this year even as they grow more expensive. The Edmunds.com auto-pricing site estimates that the average new vehicle price hit a record $35,957 in December, about 2 percent higher than the previous year. It will be harder for automakers to keep the sales pace above 17 million because they have been enticing buyers for several years now with low-interest financing and other incentives, Zandi said. He predicts more deals in the coming year as job growth slows and credit tightens for higher-risk buyers. Edmunds, which provides content, including automotive tips and reviews, for distribution by The Associated Press, predicts that sales will drop this year to 16.9 million.
Pre-owned bargain alert: Buick Regal
Wed, Feb 3 2016For the past couple of years, Buick has been very aggressive in promoting short-term low-mileage leasing. The plan was to get people in the door to experience the new Buick. Once they realized Buicks are now sleek and full of Euro Chic, people might want to buy one. It's debatable if that plan worked, but one thing is for sure: There's a massive amount of low-mileage Buick Regals out there. The price of Regals is all over the map due to lease returns and dealers aggressively discounting 2015 models to get rid of them. But at the $17,500–20,000 range there are a good number of 2013 to 2015 Regals with under 15k miles for sale. The Regal might come with 2.0L Turbo or 2.4L Hybrid. The Hybrid is a bit slow; stick with the Turbo and drive with the traction control off. They all come moderately equipped with leather, heated seats, alloy wheels, and dual-zone climate control. If you have a little more cash to spend, go for the 2012/2013 Regal GS, which is based on the Opel Insignia OPC. The Regal GS comes with 270 horsepower and 295 lb-ft from a turbo engine and a HiPerStrut suspension to reduce torque steer. They all come standard with Brembo brakes, navigation, sunroof, and premium sound system, in automatic or manual. Just make sure you budget money in your savings to replace the front tires. Trust me on this. You can purchase a Camry or Accord with some equipment for under $20,000 with a bit more miles and years than the Regal. But ultimately the Regal feels more premium, drives better, and is less boring. Make the right choice and buy something unique.Related Video:
