1989 Buick Reatta Sport Coup For Sale on 2040-cars
Morrisville, Vermont, United States
|
For Sale is my 1989 Buick Reatta Sport Coupe; these Buicks are rare and collectible now; this one was manufactured in November 1988 making it one of the early 1989 Models with the New Moon Roof Option for that year; Pop-up Headlights work perfectly; production numbers for 1988 was about 4,000 units and for 1989 about 7,000 units; Buyer responsible for pick-up and delivery; prefer pick-up before the end of June 2014 unless other arrangements are made; Rare black color exteriror with saddle colored interior; Car is fully equipped with Titlt Steering; Power Leather Seats; Cruise Control; Intermittant Wipers; Factory Fog Lights Electric Power Windows/Door Locks; Automatic Transmission; A/C; Stereo Radio with Cassette Player; Aluminum Alloy Rims with 4-Wheel Disc Brakes and ABS; 3.8 Litre V-6 Engine with 206K Miles (Engine runs very well and just had the Ignition Control Module replaced and a tune up); I have been told by several mechanics that GM's 3800 V-6 Engine is bullet proof and good for 400K miles; The car ran very strong from New York to Vermont, and cleared all the mountain passes with plenty of power and acceleration; selling extra car due to having to move this summer. Model Year 1989 introduced the factory Moonroof Option, and this Reatta has that option; the car could use a re-paint down the road as some of the clear coat is flaking, and some more cleaning inside, but all in all it is pretty straight and a good running car. A/C needs an R-12 Freon re-charge, but it still works fine and is just low on refrigerant (warning alert cautions about low refrigerant); I can have re-charged for buyer; the touchscreen system works, but ever so often if you hit a hard road bump, it will scroll and blank out; the PCM is fine and I have traced the problem to the ignition switch power relay; all the systems still work and a new ignition switch will probablly correct the problem. The driver's side door has two dents, and some scuffing on the door guards; it will need some body work to correct. Very comfortable car to drive and use. NADA suggest this car is worth about $3,800. This car has the rare black finish which looks really nice. I have had a lot of compliments about the car driving it around town for sure since it is so rare. For those of you who do not know, these Reattas are rare with very low production numbers and quite collectible now. They were hand painted and assembled by GM at the time; The car cost about $25K to $30K when new. Hate to see it go...Happy bidding! Any questions about conditionn just ask. |

GM recalling over 243,000 crossovers over possible seat belt defect
Tue, 17 Aug 20102010 Buick Enclave - Click above for high-res image gallery
The summer of 2010's recall hit parade continues unabated today, with General Motors having just announced that it is asking 243,403 owners of its 2009-2010 Lambda crossovers to bring their three-row haulers in for inspection. The culprit? Second-row seat belts in select Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse, GMC Acadia, and Saturn Outlook CUVs have "failed to perform properly in a crash."
According to GM, a second-row seat-side trim piece is to blame, as it can impede the upward rotation of the buckle after the seat is folded flat. As a result, if the buckle makes contact with the seat frame, cosmetic damage can occur, potentially requiring additional force to operate the buckle properly. So far, no great shakes, but in the process of applying that additional force, the occupant may push the buckle cover down to the strap, potentially revealing and depressing the red release button. As a result of this, the belt may not latch, or in certain cases, it may actually appear to be latched when, in fact, it isn't.
2014 Buick Regal gets the party rolling in NY
Wed, 27 Mar 2013Although the first day of the 2013 New York Auto Show kicks off bright and early this morning, Buick got a jump on the competition by unveiling the 2014 Buick Regal lineup last night. While the Regal received many upgrades for the 2014 model year, most of our attention was focused on the sedan's drivetrain.
When the new Regal hits dealers this fall, buyers opting for the new Regal Turbo will be welcomed by an additional 39 horsepower and 35 pound-feet of torque from the 2.0-liter turbo engine; the 2014 Regal GS now features the same output of 259 hp and 295 lb-ft, meaning that it has actually lost 11 hp over the 2013 model year. Buick says the reason for the GS' power loss comes from the fact that the newly available all-wheel-drive system forced the car to use a smaller diameter exhaust system, but representatives on hand assured us that the reduction of horsepower won't affect the car's performance and could even help improve fuel economy. And who knows? Maybe downgrading the power of the Regal GS also helps create a little breathing room for a future Grand National or GNX model...
Although the power under the hood is now the same, it is still impossible to confuse the two cars from the outside. Minor updates give both a fresher look, but the Regal GS has an unmistakeable aggression to it. The GS' interior also helps it stand apart from lower Regal trim levels with an eight-inch configurable gauge cluster similar to what is offered in the 2014 LaCrosse. The cabin of the Regal wasn't given an extensive makeover like the LaCrosse received, but the upgraded IntelliLink infotainment system and the cleaner center stack and steering wheel controls are appreciated changes.
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.
