1996 Buick Lesabre Custom Sedan 4 Door, Good Condition on 2040-cars
Warren, Michigan, United States
|
This 1996 Buick LeSabre has been my car for over four years,
now, preceded by a Buick '88. It's because of these two vehicles that
I've decided not to leave the Buick 3800 class. I'm sad to see this car
go. I would certainly take it with me if I could. I have faith that
Buick will soon add amphibious capabilities to the LeSabres, but until
then, this one cannot follow me to Europe.
After 151,000 miles, this LeSabre still drives like a dream. It was owned by an old man who had kept it in pristine shape. I bought it from Motor City Auction whilst it was at the 88k mark. I was made aware before I bought it that the 90's LeSabres were often fitted with bum head gaskets. A quick check of the car records showed that the head gasket had already been replaced by the old man. Since, I've only had to replace a battery and the fuel pump, as well as more recently, the wheels thanks to a rough winter. I still possess the original wheels (as only one rim was cracked -- the rest were in fine condition) so if you are interested, let me know. I've provided regular oil changes and basic maintenance. In preparation for sale I've done its final oil change, replaced the brake lines, and equipped a new battery. The car is clean, though "lived in". The old man may have taken pristine care of it but I am not an old man. The upholstery on the seats is perfect, but there are a couple holes in the ceiling upholstery and a couple stains on the carpet underneath the floor covers. The driver side power window control works but is pushed a bit into the armrest. It takes two fingers to open and close any window in the car from that seat. The car is beginning to rust at the bottom exterior. You are more than welcome to visit and take a test drive. The car is in Warren; call or email for address and to make an appointment. Additional photos/information available upon request. (313) 338 8216 |

2013 Opel Cascada
Tue, 24 Sep 2013The Future Buick Verano Convertible?
I wasn't wearing a pedometer while in Germany covering the Frankfurt Motor Show this year, but it's safe to say I walked more than a few miles between press conferences, shooting cars and trekking back to the media center on the first day alone. For this reason, it didn't take much convincing from General Motors for me to duck out of the Messe a day early and drive some of its latest Opel models. No, this didn't include the all-new Country Tourer, but I was able to drive the Opel Mokka (our Buick Encore), the Opel Adam and the Opel Cascada.
I focused most of my driving time behind the wheel of the Cascada, which went on sale in Europe earlier this year, since rumors are swirling that a Buick version of this convertible "could happen soon." Buick hasn't had a convertible since the Reatta, and GM has been lacking a non-performance, budget-minded convertible since the Pontiac brand - and its G6 - was dropped, so adding the Cascada to Buick showrooms could further help the reemerging brand compete in the near-luxury segment. Although the weather was too chilly (and occasionally rainy) to enjoy the Cascada with its top down for very long, I was able to clock a fair bit of drive time behind the wheel on roads ranging from the autobahn to tight roads in small, quaint villages.
Buick Encore takes a hit of Mokka to tackle Dakar
Wed, 03 Sep 2014There are many vehicles we'd consider taking racing. Even on a cross-country rally as punishing as the Dakar. But a Buick Encore? That's not one that would enter our motorsports-based consciousness. Yet it's basically what General Motors is entering in the South American rally raid this year, and you're looking at it.
Unveiled at the Moscow Motor Show, this rally machine is based on (or at least billed as) an Opel Mokka - the name that GM's European brand applies to the vehicle Americans know as the Encore, Buick's subcompact crossover. Only it's obviously been extensively modified. It's got a ten-inch raised suspension, a 137-gallon fuel tank, carbon-fiber bodywork and... hold on, we're sure we're missing something here. Oh, right: a 6.2-liter V8 kicking out 340 horsepower and 487 pound-feet of torque to all four wheels through a six-speed sequential gearbox.
In other words, this is not the same Encore (or Mokka) you can pick up at your local Buick, Opel or Vauxhall dealership. It's not even close. It's not even recognizable as such, really. It was unveiled alongside a more sedate Opel Mokka Moscow Edition and a slew of other local debuts for the Opel brand that you can read more about in the (translated and original) Russian press release below.
2015 Buick Verano offered with six-speed manual after all
Mon, 09 Jun 2014Good news, boys and girls (well, at least those of you who still like shifting for yourselves). Buick got in touch with us to correct some information that it had mistakenly announced; namely, that the 2015 Verano will lose its optional six-speed manual transmission. Apparently, that announcement was incorrect, and the compact sedan will indeed continue to offer a manual option for 2015, despite what we're certain is a low take rate. Additionally, the Desert Dusk Metallic paint that was said to come as part of an Appearance Package is no longer part of the deal. With that out of the way, we now return you to your regularly scheduled automotive-obsessive broadcast...
