Question by Lee J: How do I loosen and remove the accessory drive belt on a ’93 Buick Park Avenue (3.8L)?
Gotta replace a water pump tonight – and it’s getting dark fast!
I understand that I need to loosen the tensioner, but it’s not real obvious how that is done on this make/model. I don’t see any obvious way to loosen it short of a 6lb sledge hammer (and that option hasn’t been ruled out!)

Over the years, Buick has tried to shake this stereotype (Gran Sport, GN, GSX, etc…) but it still persists.
Even Oldsmobile (Buick’s close cousin) used the ad slogan that “this is not your father’s Oldsmobile” when they introduced the Aurora.
I say if you like the car….buy it. What do you really care what some other people may think?

DETROIT, M.I. – Michigan Buick dealers saw Buick sales soar past top luxury brands for the month of February. MI Auto Times is announcing Buick has surpassed Lexus for the second month in a row and outsold Mercedes-Benz, Audi and Acura.

“Being a part of the Buick legacy as it blossoms into what it is today is an indescribable feeling,” Tom Moran, President of Buick GMC Detroit Metro Local Marketing Association, a group that represents 23 Buick GMC dealers in the Detroit Metro area, told MI Auto Times. “Watching an already strong brand take the lead over other luxury brands is a testament to the design of our Buick models and the people behind them. We are eager to see how far Buick can travel this year.”

For the month of February, Buick sold 15,807 units, which is up 73.3 percent from Feb. 2010. The total units sold by Buick are almost 2,000 more vehicles than Lexus, which sold 13,814 units in February. Year to date, Buick has sold 29,076 vehicles to Lexus’ 26,674.

Michigan Buick dealers stock the four Buick models available which include the Buick Enclave crossover and the three mid-luxury sedans Buick Lucerne, Buick LaCrosse, Buick Regal. Lexus on the other hand, has nine different models. Lexus only increased 0.2 percent from last February. Mercedes-Benz sold 15,464 vehicles with a 5.1 percent growth from last year while Audi sold 7,753 cars with 24.7 percent change over last year. Acura sold 10,796 units which showed growth of 20.8 percent from last February.

It is unknown how long Buick vehicles will hold this No. 1 spot from Lexus and others, but with talks of adding several new vehicles to the Buick lineup, Buick will continue to make strides forward and be a strong force to compete with in the luxury vehicle market and elsewhere. It was be difficult for luxury brands such as Lexus to catch up to Buick, but only time will tell how the road will go.

The Buick is actually a brand in the auto world that runs under the General Motors Corporation umbrella and the vehicles and Buick auto parts under this brand are sold not only in the United States but in other markets as well. It is actually the only brand in the GM range that has semi-luxury vehicles ever since the Oldsmobile mark has been cut off.

The Buick Lucerne is one of the vehicle versions that one can find under this semi-luxury brand. And during this year’s SEMA show, the brand had made sure that they would be able to show off one of its most coveted version of the Buick Lucerne the one they call the VIP.

The Buick Lucerne VIP is actually a cruiser. However, it does not seem to be just like any ordinary Buick vehicle for that matter. Its builder, Don Whitmire, did say, “Buick has traditionally been about understated luxury, and we wanted to keep a little of that in this car. Anybody can add wheels, paint and a body kit. We wanted to try and build on what was already there.” And that is how you know why the Buick Lucerne’s new version is called the VIP.

A change that could be found on the Buick Lucerne VIP would be its bumper. The bumper has gone on extending itself by two inches. That way, Whitmire did say that the extension of the bumper really did work wonders to actually deviate the attention of people from the vehicle’s flat nose. Aside from the bumper, the air intake which was previously found below the bumper was also changed. It was cut out in the middle and so now it actually extends all the way across the bumper. There also has been an addition of a new mesh cover so as to keep the air intake just quite clean enough. All the vehicle’s side moldings were also taken away and in their place, new side skirts were put in. The new side skirts are actually some 1.5 inches farther compared to the original Buick Lucerne.

Whitmere did continue to explain, “By continuing the beltline all the way to the extended rear lip spoiler, it looks a little bit like the Mercedes CLS.”

This is a video of me reassembling the steering column in my 1990 Buick Lesabre after tearing it apart. I had to make the shifter move but had lost the keys. In the process I dislodged a vital component of the ignition system, a metal rod spanning the gap between the igintion tumbler and the ignition switch. My solution? A pull switch start

No but you can always just get them painted.

What do you think? Answer below!

Buick originated as an independent motor car manufacturer, the Buick Motor Company, incorporated on May 19, 1903 by David Dunbar Buick in Flint, Michigan. In 1904 the struggling company was taken over by James Whiting, who brought in William C. Durant to manage his new acquisition.

Buick soon became the largest car maker in America. Using the profits from this, Durant embarked on a series of several dozen corporate acquisitions, calling his new mega-corporation General Motors.

In 1929, the Buick Motor Division launched the Marquette sister brand, designed to help bridge the price gap between Buick and Oldsmobile, however Marquette was discontinued in 1930.

At first, the different manufacturers who comprised General Motors competed against each other, but Durant put a stop to that. He wanted each General Motors division to target one class of buyer, and in his new scheme Buick was near the top, only the luxurious Cadillac brand had more prestige.

Even today, Buick retains that position in the GM lineup. The ideal Buick customer was comfortably off; possibly not quite rich enough to afford a Cadillac or not desiring the ostentation of one, but definitely in the market for a car a cut above the norm. Buick is the fourth oldest marque in the world.

The Buick Rainier shares its body shell and mechanical platform with GM’s other mid-size SUVs, the Chevrolet TrailBlazer and GMC Envoy. But of the three, only the Rainier offers a 300-horsepower V8 engine in the handier, standard-wheelbase configuration. For 2007, a one-year subscription to General Motors’ OnStar Turn-by-Turn navigation system and a tire pressure monitoring system now come standard.

Rainiers come with rear, or all-wheel drive. An electronically controlled rear air suspension is intended to produce a comfortable ride. A 291-horsepower, 4.2-liter inline-six-cylinder is standard, and a 302-hp, 5.3-liter V-8 is optional. A four-speed automatic is the sole transmission. On the exterior, clear headlights have offset high/low beam fixtures. Fog lamps with chrome surrounds are standard.

The Buick Terraza loses its all-wheel-drive model but gains more power for 2007, which, Buick says, will be this minivan’s final model year. It’s the costliest, most luxurious of the group. Terraza is front-wheel drive and comes in CX, new-for-2007 CX Plus, and top-line CXL models. All are equipped with a 240-hp 3.9-liter V6 engine that replaces a 201-hp 3.5 V6. A 4-speed automatic remains the only transmission. Anti-lock Brake System and traction/antiskid control are standard.

Terraza seats seven. It has 2nd-row bucket seats that fold and remove and a 50/50 3rd-row bench that folds flat atop the cargo floor. Front and 2nd-row side airbags that provide head and torso protection are standard on CXL, optional on CX Plus, unavailable on CX. Curtain side airbags are unavailable. Load-leveling suspension and DVD entertainment are standard on CX Plus and CXL. Rear obstacle detection is also available.

The Buick Rendezvous, also in its final model year, loses its optional V6 engine and available all-wheel drive for 2007. This SUV shares a basic platform with Buick’s Terraza minivan. Rendezvous seats five with a standard three-place 2nd-row split bench seat that slides fore and aft. A two-passenger 3rd-row seat is optional, as are twin bucket seats to replace the 2nd-row bench.

Rendezvous has front-wheel drive with available traction control. A 195-hp 3.5-liter V6 and 4-speed automatic transmission comprise the sole drivetrain; an optional 242-hp 3.6 V6 has been dropped. Anti-lock Brake System, rear obstacle detection, and OnStar assistance are standard. Front side airbags are available. No curtain side airbags are offered.

For 2007, several new luxury features become standard on Buick’s midsize sedan, the LaCrosse, including General Motors’ OnStar Turn-by-Turn navigation system. Three versions of the LaCrosse are offered this year – the CX, the midlevel CXL and the performance-oriented CXS. CX and CXL models use a 3.8-liter V-6 engine that produces 200 horsepower and 230 pounds-feet of torque. A 3.6-liter V-6 with variable valve timing goes into the CXS and delivers 240 hp and 225 pounds-feet of torque. Both engines team with a four-speed automatic transmission. Three levels of traction control, including General Motors’ StabiliTrak electronic stability system, are offered.

In the 2007 Buick Lucerne, three trim levels are available: CX, CXL and CXS. Buick emphasizes the QuietTuning of the Lucerne, which the automaker claims will reduce or tune out unwanted wind, road and powertrain noise.

In the CX or CXL, the 3.8-liter V-6 meets Super Ultra Low Emissions Vehicle standards and produces an estimated 197 horsepower at 5,200 rpm and 227 pounds-feet of torque.

Standard in the CXS and optional in the CXL, the 32-valve dual overhead cam all-aluminum 4.6-liter V-8 delivers an estimated 275 hp at 5,600 rpm and 295 pounds-feet of torque. Both engines work with a four-speed automatic transmission, run on regular-grade gasoline and feature electronic throttle control.

Buick began consolidating its lineup in 2005, replacing the Century and Regal with the LaCrosse, and the LeSabre and Park Avenue with the Lucerne in 2006.

The company plans to replace both of its SUVs, the Rendezvous and Rainier with the Enclave within 18 months. However, for 2007 Buick is going all out with its line up.
