1997 Buick Regal Gs - Driveable But Has Structural Rust Issues on 2040-cars
Homerville, Ohio, United States
|
Hello, I'm selling my 1997 Buick Regal GS, with supercharged 3800 engine. Up until this week, it has been my daily driver. It still looks pretty nice, but is very rusted underneath. The worst points are the pinch welds and rocker panels which are rotted out, and both rear strut towers are partially rusted through - the suspension is still in place and rides nice, but needs repair to be safe to drive. The rust is only visible in small spots around the rear fenderwells, otherwise the paint and body are in good shape, a few small dings and chips.
It runs and drives great, the transmission shifts smoothly, and starts every morning. It does have high mileage (174k) but you would never guess it by driving it. The interior is in excellent shape, all gray leather, seats look like they've hardly been used, headliner perfect. All electric features work correctly (with the exception of the horn and autodimming mirror) In fact I just put in a rear window regulator before I decided to sell it. The wheels are from a newer Buick, not perfect but decent shape. Tires and brakes are not new but have some life left. I've replaced quite a few parts underneath due to rust since I've owned it including: brake lines, fuel lines, fuel tank and filler neck, power steering lines, and muffler. Also done in the last 60k miles or so: all 4 struts and mounts, A/C condenser, plugs and wires, among many other minor repairs. I offer no guarantees on this vehicle, and drive at your own risk. I do not believe it is safe to drive without metal repair to the rear strut towers. |

Wed, 24 Jul 2013A Nice, New Buick Aims For Middle Of The Road
Any time someone describes some portion of a car or a driving experience as being "nice," I want to either A) throttle them or B) run as fast and as far as I can from that vehicle. "Nice" is among the most insidious words in the English language - at best it's vague, and at worst, it conveys the exact opposite of its literal meaning. Yet it seems to be used with damnable frequency when it comes to verbally illustrating vehicles. "It looks really nice," or "These seats feel nice," or, heaven forefend, "It's got a nice ride," are all windy signifiers of absolutely nothing resembling a concrete opinion. "Nice" is the adjectival equivalent of meekly smiling and nodding your head.
Of course, I'm as guilty as the next person of having thrown English's least powerful descriptor around. There's even a chance that, rant aside, you'll catch me making nice in reviews to come. That's fine, but you should know that when you stumble upon such usage, past or future, that you've found a sentence in which I'm simply applying a bare minimum of effort to the task.
GM recalling 1.5M cars in China for faulty bracket
Fri, 27 Dec 2013General Motors and its Chinese partners have announced their second recall in the People's Republic this year, following a 2,653-unit recall of the Cadillac SRX earlier this year. This latest recall affects nearly 1.5 million cars built between 2006 and 2012. It's not explicitly stated, but as there's no movement from the US NHTSA, we suspect that the cars in question were all Chinese-built rather than imports.
The vast majority of the affected vehicles are Buick Excelles (pictured), with 1.2 million units being recalled over a faulty bracket that's meant to secure the fuel pump. The Excelles in question were built between 2006 and 2012, while an additional 250,000 Chevrolet Sail superminis, built between April 2009 and October 2011, are being recalled for a similar reason.
According to the PRC's Administration for Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine, the faulty bracket could crack and potentially cause a fuel leak.
What's in a trademark? Sometimes, the next iconic car name
Thu, 07 Aug 2014
The United States Patent and Trademark Office is a treasure trove for auto enthusiasts, especially those who double as conspiracy theorists.
Why has Toyota applied to trademark "Supra," the name of one of its legendary sports cars, even though it hasn't sold one in the United States in 16 years? Why would General Motors continue to register "Chevelle" long after one of the most famous American muscle cars hit the end of the road? And what could Chrysler possibly do with the rights to "313," the area code for Detroit?
