1985 Buick Century Limited TIME CAPSULE! This one owner, garage kept vehicle has only 23,800 original miles! It is here on consignment by a family whose mother bought it brand new in Fort Worth, TX in June 1985. The car looks like it came out of a 1985 Buick showroom. It even has the original 1985 Buick brochure showing all the colors, the options, etc. It is the Dark Red Metallic exterior color with the matching Dark Red Metallic velour interior. It was originally a car provided to the golfers at the 1985 Colonial Invitational Tournament in Fort Worth, TX and was sold as a “demo” by Tyson Buick with 662 miles to its owner. It was driven very infrequently over the past 28 years, spending most of its time in the garage, not exposed to the outdoors in any way. The car has power windows, power door locks, tilt wheel, cruise control and power mirrors. It has the optional power seat, the optional wire wheels, the optional digital dash and the optional power antenna. The car starts and runs great. The transmission shifts smoothly. The A/C blows ice cold (we converted it to R 134). It is a non-smoker’s vehicle. The interior fabric is absolutely perfect with no rips, tears, sags or anything. The headliner is perfect. The dash and vinyl are perfect. The whitewall tires have about 60 percent tread remaining. The wire wheels are perfect and the car has the factory wire wheel “key”, still in the plastic pouch. The owner kept meticulous fuel and maintenance records in a small red notebook in the glove box. I have shown photos from a couple of the pages on the website www.briansplaceonline.com. I have every receipt from Bruner Motors in Stephenville, TX showing all the work performed in the past 28 years. I have summarized the maintenance below. Maintenance history: · 1,456 miles Oil and filter change · 3,475 miles Oil and filter change · 6,958 miles Oil and filter change · 7,196 miles New wiper blades, cooling system flushed · 9,555 miles New battery (06/90) · 10,444 miles Exhaust repair · 11,981 miles Front end alignment · 12,052 miles New battery (08/92) · 23,365 miles New battery (12/04) · 23,371 miles Fresh fuel added (06/05) · 23,473 miles New battery, brake flush, coolant flush (12/06) · 23,549 miles New battery (06/12) · 23,581 miles Fuel pump, relay, filter and strainer replaced (06/12) · 23,641 miles Reconnect vacuum hose to MAP sensor (02/13) · 23,740 miles Oil change, replace power antenna, Convert A/C to R134 (10/13) Cosmetic Issues (all shown in photos on our website): · Scratches on trunk lid, rear fenders that appear to be cat claw marks. · Small chip in paint on passenger side front fender · Small chip in paint on passenger front door · One small chip on the front fender near the headlight assembly with a small bit of corrosion on the scrape. · Small ding in passenger rear fender (no paint break) · Original dealer sticker on drivers side on trunk lid has some small cracks · Original Walt Disney bumper sticker has peeled apart · Original “Heartbeat of America” Chevrolet bumper sticker has some cracking · Paint needs to be waxed, appears to have original finish · Trunk mat has some padding on the underside that has come apart and is flaking Mechanical Issues: · Windshield washer motor is INOP · Power seat motor for driver’s seat runs, but does not change seat positions. My mechanic says it is the power seat motor “transmission” that needs to be replaced. · Motor idles a bit rough, but runs smoothly on highway. Added about 7 gallons of fresh fuel and added fuel additive. Starts right up, runs great. You will not find another 1985 Buick with these miles or in this condition anywhere, except maybe a Buick museum somewhere. It is the real deal, all mileage documented with both the owner’s records and dealer records. The title is a clear Texas title. The car has current Texas inspection. I will be selling this as a motor vehicle dealer, so I will be collecting tax, title and license fees on the sale. We will provide a temporary tag as part of the TT&L process so you can drive it until your plates arrive. If you are an out of state buyer, we will collect a small VIT (vehicle inventory tax) that is $ .1486 per $100 and the $5.00 temporary tag fee. Delivery is available right to your driveway. We can deliver it for $2.50 per loaded mile or you can contract with a carrier of your own choosing. There are many photos of the car on our website www.briansplaceonline.com. Please call (254.646.2170) or email with questions. The car is for sale locally at our dealership. This listing will be removed when it is no longer available for sale. |

GM investing $167m in Spring Hill for new midsize vehicles
Tue, 06 Aug 2013General Motors has announced a large investment in its Spring Hill, Tennessee facility. The former home of Saturn production will be getting a $167 million addition to a previously announced $183 million, to cover a pair of new midsize vehicles. The investment is expected to create 1,800 jobs at the factory.
That $350 million is being divvied up for a pair of programs at Spring Hill. The first will take the bulk of the money ($223 million) and create 1,000 of the 1,800 jobs, while the other will take the remaining $127 million and generate the leftover 800 positions. But GM says the investment will cover "midsize vehicle programs." So what could they be?
The leading candidate in our minds is a new crossover for Buick, called the Anthem, that will slot between the Encore and Enclave, but will be slightly smaller than the Equinox and Terrain. As we've explained, the new model will likely be the first product to sport GM's new D2UX platform, which will eventually replace both the Delta and Theta platforms. Spring Hill is already building the Equinox, so there could be some credence to this theory.
Restyled 2014 Buick Regal adds AWD, Regal GS loses power
Tue, 26 Mar 2013Although the current Buick Regal hasn't even been on the market for very long, General Motors is using the New York Auto Show to unveil an updated version of the sedan in a similar fashion to what we saw yesterday with the 2014 LaCrosse. Like the LaCrosse, all 2014 Regal models will be getting a new look both for the exterior and interior design, but the big news takes place under the sedan's skin.
Except for the base Regal eAssist, the Regal Turbo and Regal GS will both be adding the benefit of all-wheel drive, but there is no word as to how much weight this system will add to each car's curb weight. The Regal Turbo's 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder has received a decent bump in output from 220 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque to 259 hp and 295 lb-ft; unfortunately, these same figures are carried over to the Regal GS, which means that car drops from 270 hp. Both turbocharged models (Regal Turbo and Regal GS) will now be offered with all-wheel drive and the ability of sending more than 90 percent of the engine's torque to the rear wheels.
In terms of styling, the 2014 Regal gets similar styling changes found on the updated Enclave and LaCrosse, including reworked fascias, scalloped headlights and a full-width chrome strip spanning between the new LED taillights. Inside, key changes were made to the Regal's cabin technology, such as the instrument gauge cluster and infotainment system. On the Regal and Regal Turbo, a new 4.2-inch color display is available for drivers to see information for the vehicle, navigation and audio systems, but the Regal GS' cabin is slightly different with an eight-inch configurable gauge display. One of the best changes may be the overall reduction in buttons on the center stack, creating a cleaner-looking and easier-to-use cabin.
GM recalls over 230,000 more Trailblazer-family SUVs over door electronics
Sun, 16 Jun 2013Back in August, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration announced a recall on the General Motors GMT360 SUVs (Buick Rainier, Chevrolet Trailblazer, GMC Envoy, Isuzu Ascender and Saab 9-7X) ranging from the 2005 to 2007 model years and the 2006 GMT370 SUVs (Chevrolet Trailblazer EXT and GMC Envoy XL) due to potential fires associated with the driver's door module. Initially limited to 250,000 units sold or registered in 20 Snow Belt states (and the District of Columbia), the recall has now been expanded to include an additional 193,000 of these SUVs in the US and, according to The Detroit News, 40,000 more sold outside the US, including Canada and Mexico.
Like the original recall, the issue is still a faulty driver's door module that can short out, which could lead to a fire. The Detroit News is reporting that, out of the 443,000 units being recalled, GM says that there were 58 fires that caused 11 minor injuries, and the expanded recall accounted for six fires and one injury. Despite the lower number of fires, the recall notice recommends that owners park their vehicles until the recall repairs has been performed.
On recalled units with functional modules, the repair consists of a protective coating being applied to the module, while vehicles with modules that are not working properly will have the driver's door module replaced. The official recall notice is posted below, and it includes contact information for customers of all five brands.
