Rare W15 Real Wood, Suede And Leather Option Package, 1 Of 647, Low Mileage on 2040-cars
Seabrook, Texas, United States
|
Up for auction a garage-kept 1985 Riviera in very good condition. This car has the rare real wood option package, including leather seats with suede inserts, and wood and leather steering wheel. Of the 65,305 Rivieras sold in 1985, only 647 had this option.
Exterior: The original sandstone paint is in very good condition, and is very presentable despite showing its age in a few spots, which have been touched up over the years. The dark brown vinyl half-roof is still soft and supple. Coach lamps are intact, but no longer illuminate. Bumper fillers have been replaced within the last two years, so they should have another 30+ years of life. Locking wire wheel covers have a few small dings, but still look very nice. The chrome "R" symbol is missing from the left taillight (Replacements are widely available, as 1979-1985 will fit). Glass and chrome are excellent all around, and tires have 90% tread life left. There is a small spot of rust on the bottom of the right rear bumper extension, otherwise, exterior is rust-free. Interior: Very good overall condition - seats are still soft, and dash has no cracks. Power seats work great, including the optional right front seat power recliner. Burled walnut dash and door trim are also in excellent condition, and retain their original luster. Wool carpeting is in good shape. The headliner was apparently replaced by a previous owner, and looks OK, but for some reason the visor clip and coat hangers are missing. I'm currently using an improvised clip to hold up the visors. Mechanical: I've scrupulously maintained the vehicle by performing regular fluid changes, and addressing repairs as they are needed. Parts are still widely available for this car due to the large number of GM E-Body cars produced over a seven year period. Work done over the last year and a half include:
I have described the car to the best of my ability, please message me with any questions. I currently drive the car locally on weekends, but I have not taken it on any extended road trips, so I would recommend shipping if you need to transport a significant distance. Shipping is at buyer's expense, but I will fully cooperate in any way I can. Car is listed with low reserve. A $500 deposit is required within 24 hours of auction close, with the balance due within seven days in cash or certified funds. I have the car listed for sale locally as well, so I reserve the right to end the auction early. Thanks and happy bidding! |

GM throttles back Chevy Malibu, Buick LaCrosse production over swollen inventories
Wed, 06 Feb 2013As inventory of the Chevrolet Malibu and Buick LaCrosse continues to pile up, General Motors will be idling its Fairfax Assembly Plant for two weeks, according to Automotive News. This move comes about a month after the plant was shut down for three weeks in late December and early January for the same reason. As of January 31, the GM had a 94-day supply of Malibu stock while the LaCrosse was a little worse with a 117-day supply.
Just last week, GM announced that it would be investing $600 million in upgrading this plant, but it's unclear what future plans the company has in store for Fairfax considering slow sales of both the plant's models. We do expect a refreshed and more luxurious LaCrosse shortly and an early design update for the Malibu to be announced at some point this year, although we have had no official word as to when either will happen.
Buick Envision to go on sale in third quarter of 2015
Mon, 06 Oct 2014Following an earlier concept and successive teasers, Buick revealed the new Envision crossover a little over a month ago. The thing is, it was launched in China, for China. The question, then, is whether it will make the jump to the North American market. And the answer is: quite possibly.
According to division sales chief Duncan Aldred in speaking to Edmunds, Buick is looking into the prospect of bringing the Envision to the US: "We can't confirm anything, but clearly it is a very nicely designed and executed product that is very much a Buick," said Aldred.
If and when the compact crossover would appear in US showrooms, it would slot in between the smaller Encore and the larger Enclave. It would likely be offered in front-wheel drive, all-wheel drive and mild hybrid configurations. Sources expect it to arrive in the third quarter of 2015 as a competitor to the likes of the Mercedes GLA, Lexus NX and Lincoln MKC.
Top-of-the-line 2018 Buick Regal TourX costs $43,795
Tue, Nov 28 2017Buick has unveiled an online configurator for the 2018 Regal TourX wagon, and it shows that picking the full suite of premium options puts the sport wagon at $43,795. That prices it under its Regal GS Sportback sibling and competitors like the Volvo V60 Cross Country and Audi A4 Allroad. The luxury hatchback starts at $29,995 and is available in three trim options: TourX 1SV, Preferred ($33,575) and Essence ($35,945). All are powered by a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that puts out 250 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque and drives an eight-speed automatic transmission. Intelligent all-wheel-drive with active twin-clutch, start-stop technology and 18-inch painted aluminum wheels are also standard. There are eight exterior color options, including Sport Red and Summit White for no extra charge, and two options for the interior at no extra charge. Driver Confidence package options come with things like LED headlamps, 4-way lumbar seat adjuster and rear park assist for $1,725, and various driver-assist technologies including adaptive cruise control and forward collision alert for an additional $1,190. A panoramic moonroof will set you back $1,200. At 73.5 cubic feet with the second-row seats folded down, Buick says the TourX boasts more overall cargo space than the Subaru Outback, Volvo V60 Cross Country, Audi A4 Allroad and BMW 3-series Sport Wagon. The rear hatch area offers 32.7 cubic feet with the seats up.Related Video:
