1990 Buick Reatta Base Coupe 2-door 3.8l on 2040-cars
Roslindale, Massachusetts, United States
|
I drove this registered in NH till July of this year. Parked it and bought another driver as this car is loud and needs work. Replaced the muffler with a shiny cheap muffler that does very little to quiet the car. It has a number of issues and that's why it is selling cheap. So the bad: Needs e brake cable. Needs new muffler, needs new vent window and mirror passenger (tore this and mirror off. And a variety of small things such as radio which works but volume jumps up and down, maybe a new window motor passenger (not sure, but it was at least slow last time I used it). The idle runs high sometimes. The abs light has and is always on but haven't noticed any changes in the brakes. Needs a new wiper arm on passenger, the old one bent. The car was registered in NH and there they don't title, but may need some efforts to get a copy of recent registration (have the plate number). I believe you can request a title or register using recent July records.
The good: Engine runs good. Trans shifts fine. New front calipers, rotors and brakes approx one year ago. New calipers and brakes rear approx one year ago. New fan motor. 4 new tires, bought them about 1k ago for $500.00. The undercarriage is in beautiful shape, for some reason the dipped these cars in untra rust proofing. The interior is in average condition, no major problems. This could last you another unknown number of miles should you want to put in to it a bit of sweat equity and own a classic car. I can't see this car becoming less valuable it is one of few cars in the 90's that have 2 seats, style and collector value. I still have my 90 convertible and that is creeping up in value. Or use it for parts for your own Reatta, the windshield alone are selling for $6-$700.00 online. |

Movie Review: Black Air: The Buick Grand National Documentary
Thu, 06 Dec 2012As Buick currently claws and scratches its way back into relevance to compete against luxury brands like Lexus and Acura, it's hard to believe that not too long ago, the brand had a car that was mentioned in the same breath as Corvette, Lamborghini and Ferrari. That car? None other than the Buick Grand National. All black with a turbocharged V6 and some of the quickest acceleration of its time, the Grand National, in today's standards, is along the lines of a 2013 Shelby GT500 with both cars essentially being a working man's supercar.
The last Grand National rolled off the assembly line in Flint, MI on December 11, 1987, and to mark the silver anniversary of that somber occasion, Black Air is a documentary of the Grand National from the perspective of the enthusiast, the collector, the media and even from those at General Motors responsible for creating such a sinister legend. Like the car itself, Andrew Filippone Jr. shoots the documentary in a raw fashion, and it definitely helps to show why a low-volume muscle car from the 1980s is still the object of obsession for many automotive enthusiasts to this day.
J.D. Power study sees new car dependability problems increase for first time since 1998
Wed, 12 Feb 2014For the first time since 1998, J.D. Power and Associates says its data shows that the average number of problems per 100 cars has increased. The finding is the result of the firm's much-touted annual Vehicle Dependability Study, which charts incidents of problems in new vehicle purchases over three years from 41,000 respondents.
Looking at first-owner cars from the 2011 model year, the study found an average of 133 problems per 100 cars (PP100, for short), up 6 percent from 126 PP100 in last year's study, which covered 2010 model-year vehicles. Disturbingly, the bulk of the increase is being attributed to engine and transmission problems, with a 6 PP100 boost.
Interestingly, JDP notes that "the decline in quality is particularly acute for vehicles with four-cylinder engines, where problem levels increase by nearly 10 PP100." Its findings also noticed that large diesel engines also tended to be more problematic than most five- and six-cylinder engines.
GM recalls 51k Enclave, Traverse, Acadia crossovers over fuel gauge inaccuracy
Mon, 05 May 2014With all eyes fixed on General Motors in the wake of the ignition recall debacle, the auto giant has been carefully calling in a wide array of vehicles to fix anything and everything that could prove problematic. Just the other day it issued two separate recalls - one concerning the Cadillac SRX and another its heavy-duty pickups - and now it is issuing another.
This time the vehicles in question are the Buick Enclave, Chevy Traverse and GMC Acadia, three fullsize crossovers based on GM's Lambda platform. In an estimated 51,640 units manufactured between March 26 and August 15, 2013, the engine control module has been found to incorrectly display the level of fuel in the tank.
As a result, owners are being notified to bring their vehicles in to their local dealers to have the ECU reflashed to fix the problem. View the full details in the announcement below from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
