1998 Buick Century Limited Sedan 4-door 3.1l on 2040-cars
Memphis, Tennessee, United States
***PLEASE NOTE THAT I WILL NOT ACCEPT PAYMENT VIA PAYPAL UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE*** *****Also note that the AutoCheck is incorrect. I am the only owner this vehicle has ever had, despite the report stating otherwise some unknown reason. I have filed a complaint with AutoCheck and am awaiting their response. Also worth noting is the "accident" noted on the report. It was merely a 1 mph bump at a red light. I called the police just as a precaution. The only damage was a few scrapes, and I had the bumper professionally repainted to look just like new again. So please rest assured that this car has never suffered any meaningful accident damage. ***** Up for sale is a ONE OWNER (me) 1998 Buick Century Limited. That’s
right, my name and address are the only ones that have ever graced the title of
this car. It is finished in beautiful Jasper Green Metallic paint with sumptuous
Taupe Leather interior. It has Only 47,791 original miles. You
are reading that correctly – this car is a time warp that you do not see very
often. I checked off the options sheet when I ordered my Buick with
the: Popular Option Package; Premium Option Package; Body Side Stripes; Carpet
Savers in front and rear; Electrochromic rearview mirror; Heated Body Color Exterior
Mirrors; Cruise Control, Rear Window integrated Antenna; the Premium sound
system; Jasper Green Metallic Paint, and Taupe Leather. These option packages
entailed many niceties such as dual electronic climate control, dual power
seats, cruise control, high-end Concert Sound II stereo system with CD player, a
Tape player, and steering wheel controls as well. In addition it has anti-lock
brakes, dual airbags, 4 wheel disc brakes, aluminum alloy wheels, automatic
headlights and dimming interior courtesy lights. My Buick has been thoroughly
maintained throughout its entire life. Recently I serviced the car with a brand
new battery, new starter, new water pump, new front & rear brakes, and the fluids
were replaced as well. It runs great, idles superbly smooth, passes inspection,
and sips gas. I have both keys, both keyless entry fobs, and even the valet key
still. My Buick has been garaged for all but 2 of its 16 year life
span, and it has never seen snow. The car has never been smoked in, I can count
on one hand how many times the back seat has had a passenger, and the trunk has
never seen anything but a rolling bag. Why am I selling it? Because my wife inherited her
grandmother’s 2003 Lexus ES300 with low miles on it about 2 year ago.
Therefore, the Lexus has taken the place of the Buick as our reserve/airport car.
I simply have not had the time to fool with selling the Buick despite the
occasional consideration to go to CarMax for an offer. Additionally, it’s been
difficult to part with the Buick considering how well it has served us and the
fact that I have owned it since ordering from the factory. What’s wrong with it? A few things - mainly due to being
kicked out of the third garage spot by the Lexus. There are typical bumps and
scratches on the sides and bumpers due to airport parking garages over the
years, but it still presents very well do to its extensive years of being under
cover. A tree limb fell during a storm
last year and dented the driver door and the hood (as you can see in the
pictures). The interior rear view mirror has developed some cloudiness that I
can only attribute to the sun. The screen for the automatic climate control
does not display anything, but all functions still work correctly (this is very
strange to me and I wonder if regular use would “wake” the screen back up).
There seems to be a coolant leak, but the origin is unknown. My yard man thinks
it’s probably just an old radiator hose or even a worn out radiator cap. The
car still runs just fine though. Thank you for looking at my car. It is truly is an
exceptional example of the Buick Century mark, and its new owner will
understand immediately just how well it has been cared for. I welcome any
questions you may have and sincerely appreciate your consideration in viewing
my advertisement. |

GM recalling 8.4M cars, 8.2M related to ignition problems
Mon, 30 Jun 2014General Motors today announced a truly massive recall covering some 8.4 million vehicles in North America. Most significantly, 8.2 million examples of the affected vehicles are being called back due to "unintended ignition key rotation," though GM spokesperson Alan Adler tells Autoblog that this issue is not like the infamous Chevy Cobalt ignition switch fiasco.
For the sake of perspective, translated to US population, this total recall figure would equal a car for each resident of New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Montana, Delaware, South Dakota, Alaska, North Dakota, the District of Columbia, Vermont and Wyoming. Combined. Here's how it all breaks down:
7,610,862 vehicles in North America being recalled for unintended ignition key rotation. 6,805,679 are in the United States.
The importance of Angel Eyes, Ventiports and four round taillights
Sun, 01 Sep 2013Just the other day, we told you about how Lincoln isn't really a luxury brand, according to Ford's head design man, J Mays. His argument was that Lincoln lacked the unique DNA to differentiate it from the rest of the market, although the arrival of the MKZ is beginning to change that. Now, we have this video from Autoline Detroit, where Jim Hall, an analyst for 2953 Analytics who was quoted in yesterday's Lincoln story, explains the influence of certain styling cues and how they impact the brands.
Using BMW (Angel Eyes) and Buick (Ventiports) as examples for small, simple touches that serve to distinguish the brand's vehicles on the road, Hall then points out how changing trademark styling features, as Chevrolet has done on the new Corvette Stingray, can hurt the vehicle's public perception. Take a look at the full video below for an interesting dive into what these styling features mean to their individual brands.
First 2013 Buick Encore TV ad features... dinosaurs
Thu, 14 Mar 2013The whole "SUVs as dinosaurs" trope has become something of a threadbare cliché among auto writers, but that doesn't mean the wider world of consumers has caught on to the Jurassic nature of our line of thinking. That's what General Motors appears to be betting on, at least. Just check out Buick's first television spot for its 2013 Encore, the tiny crossover that is pushing the Tri-Shield into territories unknown while looking to outrun the brand's reputation as a refuge for elderly clientele.
Set to air this weekend on ESPN during the NCAA college basketball tournament, the ad plays up the Encore's maneuverability and surprising interior space by setting the baby Buick amongst a herd of lumbering CG dinosaurs created by Tippett Studio, the folks behind Hollywood blockbusters like Jurassic Park, Ted, and the Twilight series of films.
We can't help but snigger a little - while the Encore is indeed surprisingly roomy, nimble, and composed, our first drive found it to be glacially slow, too... not unlike a certain prehistoric race of animals. Check out the commercial below and judge for yourself.
