Out of curiousity, what's so special about that Buick Allure?

The Regal?
Not exactly my cup of tea, but I'm guessing it's the price + low mileage.
Decently equipped mid size sedan, MSRP for $35k+. Only 3 certified used ones on GM.ca.
1) 2011, 112k km, $16,500
2) 2012, 33k km, $21,600
3) 2012, 24k km, $29,900

Ad was a 2011 model, 22.6k km, asking for $15,900.

2011 BMW 535xi Frozen Blue M5 NO ACCIDENT only 35,000 km good buy?

^ Belongs in hall of shame.

It's an okay price but you can go buy a certified pre-owned for about $4000 more. The warranty alone is already worth more than $4000. And you have to clean up the stupid wrap and black wheels

2011 Buick Regal ? Review ? Car and Driver

The Allure, aka the LaCrosse in the states, was a Super model, which has a Small block V8 LS4 motor 0-60 in 5.7 secs, with modified sport suspension and other performance goodies: Buick LaCrosse - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

^edit: sonick beat me

under the hood of that Buick allure is a 5.3L V8 engine which makes it a rare car.
You can say it's a semi-sleeper car since 0-60 is around 5.7 seconds and most people don't expect Buick to be fast.

you can watch a full tour of the car plus exhaust here:

Thanks. Sorry, I didn't click far back enough to see there was an actual post on the Allure.

Noran 06-22-2014 06:19 PM

In NA 2001 is Integra, 2002 is RSX
Across the pond, both DC2R and DC5R was made.
Most likely a B18 though. I highly doubt someone would go through the troubles of doing a Kswap, yet alone fork out the extra money for a K20a over an a2 or k24, and keep the exterior looking like that.

GS8 06-22-2014 06:48 PM

Besides the performance the Allure is very rare.

Just under 2500 were made in 2 years. Also keep in mind that the allure name is Canadian market only so I'm betting there is less than 100 in Canada.

I'm still thinking about it.

I spent a year looking for a V8 but after running into too many high priced ones at dealers and Grey hair flippers I said fuck it and went after the first nice one I'd find. Found one without the leather and was sold.


So V6 Automatic? Welcome to the club! :troll: :lawl:
