Here is a VERY INTERESTING site I found if you are looking to track your car being built. You will need your order number from the dealers build sheet. Then go to .... http://www.camarotracking.com/ Yes, the site was designed for tracking camaros, BUT it will work for any GM vehicle. Once you reg/sign-in and provide your order number the site will automatically send you an email once a week on the status of your car build. You will have to look at some of the postings in the site to find the page that list all the codes that will tell you were your vehicle is in the build process. I got an email once a week starting in Nov to tell me my car build was accepted, scheduled to build, parts being assembled in build area, and that the car was on the line being assembled, then I go an email WITH my VIN number. If you had a camaro, the site then actually tracks the car during shipping to the dealer. As I ordered a CXS, the site can not track the car pass VIN number assignment. At any rate, I drove to the dealer, two days later to tell him I had the VIN number, and did he know when the car would arrive - WELL, it was sitting there on the lot!! "he was just going to call me." And, how did I know know the VIN? The dealer did not even have the emails I got. I have had the CXS now since Christmas and LOVE it. I have never never had a vehicle that has gotten so many questions and looks. Hope the camaro site helps everyone to track their build. It is a great site. Sorry GM has not opened it all the way for other GM products to be tracked all the way to the dealer like the camaro, but at least it is great to track it to the VIN assignment - which means its on the way to our dealer..... here is the last email I got from the site. Enjoy😉😉😉

SUPPORTING MEMBER
In the waning days of 1996, on December 13 at GM's Arlington Assembly plant in Texas, the final Buick Roadmaster rolled off the line - a wood paneled Estate Wagon wearing a special "Collector's Edition" hood ornament in place of the usual tri-shield. No fireworks, no farewell tour, just the quiet shutdown of the last full size, body on frame, rear drive V8 station wagon America would ever build in volume. The Roadmaster wasn't a sports car. It wasn't trying to be. It was a rolling living room with fake wood siding, enough room for a family, the dog, and a weekend's worth of luggage, and - by the mid-1990s - a Corvette derived LT1 V8 that could embarrass stoplight challengers while towing 5000 pounds. From its glamorous 1930s origins as Buick's flagship straight eight cruiser through a 33 year hibernation and a surprise 1991 revival, the Roadmaster embodied everything that once defined American automotive excess: size, comfort, style, and unapologetic utility. Even now, in 2026, three decades after the last one was built, clean examples (especially the LT1 powered wagons) command rising prices on the used market, star in family road trip legends, and make enthusiasts whisper the same refrain: "They don't make 'em like this anymore." This is its full story - from pre war luxury icon to '90s sleeper wagon cult hero.
The Spark: Pre War Glory and the Golden Age of Woodies (1936-1958)
The Roadmaster name first appeared in 1936 as Buick's top of the line series, riding on the division's longest non-limousine wheelbase and sharing structure with entry level Cadillacs. It was positioned as a step above the Special and Century - think chrome, power, and presence for the well heeled buyer who wanted luxury without the Cadillac tax. Early models featured straight eight engines (Buick's signature), overhead valves, and elegant styling that screamed "Detroit's finest." Production paused during World War II but roared back in 1946.
The real legend building years were the late 1940s and 1950s. In 1947, Buick introduced the Roadmaster Estate station wagon - the first mass produced wood bodied wagon from a major manufacturer since before the war. With genuine maple and mahogany panels, it became an instant status symbol for suburban families who still vacationed with actual wood paneling on the doors. Convertibles, sedans, and hardtops followed, all powered by increasingly potent straight eights (up to 320 cubic inches by the early 1950s) making 150+ horsepower - respectable for the era. The 1949–1953 models gained "VentiPorts" (those iconic portholes on the fenders), and the 1950s Roadmasters added tailfins, wraparound windshields, and enough chrome to blind oncoming traffic.
By 1958 - the final year of the classic era - the Roadmaster was a 5000 pound behemoth with a 364 cubic inch V8, Dynaflow automatic, and styling that defined Detroit's tailfin era. Sales were strong, but the nameplate was retired after 1958 as Buick streamlined its lineup. For the next 33 years, the Roadmaster existed only in memory and classified ads - prized by collectors for its elegance, engineering, and sheer presence.
The Revival: 1991-1996 - A Surprise Return on the B-Body
Fast forward to the late 1980s. full size rear drive sedans and wagons were fading fast, but Buick saw an opening. GM's new for 1991 B-body platform (shared with the Chevrolet Caprice, Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser, and later Cadillac Fleetwood) was the perfect canvas for a modern Roadmaster. The name was dusted off after three decades, and the car that emerged was pure nostalgia wrapped in contemporary engineering: body on frame construction, live rear axle, and a ride tuned for comfort rather than cornering.
The revival started oddly: only as the Roadmaster Estate station wagon for 1991. It was massive - over 220 inches long - with that signature fake woodgrain vinyl siding, seating for eight, and a tremendous cargo area that swallowed plywood sheets or hockey gear without complaint. Under the hood sat a 5.0 liter Chevrolet small block V8 (170 horsepower, 255 lb-ft) mated to a four speed automatic. It wasn't quick, but it was smooth, quiet, and capable of towing 5000 pounds with the optional package. A four door sedan joined the lineup as a 1992 model, powered by a 5.7 liter V8 making 180 horsepower and 300 lb-ft - noticeably peppier.
The big leap came in 1994. A mid cycle refresh brought the Corvette derived LT1 5.7 liter V8 (iron block version, detuned to 260 horsepower and 335 lb-ft) with sequential port fuel injection, stainless steel dual exhaust, and a new electronic four speed automatic. Dual airbags, a redesigned dashboard, and optional Gran Touring suspension arrived the same year. The LT1 transformed the Roadmaster from comfy cruiser to sleeper: 0-60 in under 8 seconds, effortless highway passing, and that unmistakable small block rumble when you cracked the throttle. Wagons got the same treatment, making the Estate one of the fastest, most practical family haulers ever sold.
Trims were straightforward: base and Limited for sedans; the Estate wagon was the halo. Options included leather, woodgrain trim (real on the dash), and every power feature imaginable. It rode like a cloud, isolated road noise better than most modern SUVs, and felt indestructible - perfect for long hauls, scout troops, or weekend boat towing.
Evolution: Subtle Refinements and the Collector's Edition
Changes were evolutionary. 1993 added sound deadening and minor convenience tweaks. The 1994 refresh was the highlight - new dash, LT1 power, and a more modern (yet still formal) look. 1995 brought bigger side mirrors, optional heated/memory seats, and updated radios. By 1996, electronic climate control became standard, and the final Estates wore special Collector's Edition badging. Styling stayed true to the "big Buick" formula: upright grille, long hood, and that unmistakable wood paneled wagon profile that turned every parking lot into a time warp.
Sales told the tale of a changing market. The 1991 wagon sold modestly; the full lineup peaked around 85000 units in 1992 (its first complete year). Production totaled roughly 201,000 over six years before sliding sharply as SUVs exploded in popularity. The Roadmaster wasn't flawed - it was simply in the wrong decade.
The Market Reality: Praise, Practicality, and the Inevitable End
Enthusiasts and fleet buyers loved it. Reviews praised the effortless power (especially post 1994), bulletproof reliability, and cavernous interior. The Estate wagon became a legend among families, hot-rodders, and anyone who needed to haul without sacrificing comfort. GM's decision to kill the B-body platform was purely economic: SUVs like the Suburban were far more profitable, and the Arlington plant was retooled for trucks. The last Roadmaster Estate was built December 13, 1996; the sedan followed days later. No successor. The full size American wagon died with it.
The Farewell and the Afterlife
Production ended without ceremony, but the Roadmaster refused to fade. In the used market today, low mileage 1994–1996 LT1 models - especially clean Estate Wagons with towing packages - have become cult classics. Values have climbed steadily; pristine examples now fetch prices that would have seemed absurd a decade ago. Parts are still plentiful thanks to the shared B-body platform, and the LT1 is a tuning favorite - mild mods easily push output past 300 horsepower while keeping the family hauler soul intact.
Social media still overflows with stories: cross country trips with kids and dogs in the back, towing boats to the lake, or surprising muscle cars at stoplights. The woodgrain wagons are the stars - rolling reminders of an America where station wagons ruled the suburbs. Collectors restore the genuine wood 1940s–50s classics too, but the '90s revival cars are the accessible icons for everyday dreamers.
Why the Roadmaster Still Matters - and Why We Still Dream
The Buick Roadmaster was never the sharpest handler or the most technologically advanced car on the road. What it had was SOUL: honest, roomy, comfortable, and built like a tank. It was the car that carried generations to soccer practice, vacationed at the beach with wood panels gleaming, and - thanks to that LT1 - delivered surprise performance in a package that looked like your neighbor's grocery getter.
In an era of crossovers, touchscreens, and electric everything, the Roadmaster stands as one of the last pure expressions of traditional American full size motoring. For those who've owned one, still own one, or scroll late night listings dreaming of a wood paneled LT1 Estate in Emerald Green, it remains the benchmark for effortless family transport with a wink of attitude. Somewhere out there, a well kept Roadmaster is gliding down the interstate, V8 humming, woodgrain catching the sun, owner grinning behind the wheel. And that, more than any sales chart, is its enduring legacy. Long live the Roadmaster - the car that proved big, practical, and a little bit outrageous could still be magnificent.

Howdy,
I'm inheriting a 2015 Buick Lacrosse V6 leather trim with about 60k miles. It was the typical low mileage, old person car.
I've never owned a Buick. In fact I've never really owned an American built vehicle.
This would be a 2nd vehicle for me, a weekend car for going to the dog park and other random things.
Are these reliable? Is a 10 year old Buick seen better days or can I rely on it like a Toyota? Should I sell it while it is still worth something or should I keep it because it's a good car that will continue to be a good car 10 years from now.
Any and all opinions are welcome. Tell me it's a piece of shit or otherwise.
Thanks

Recently running into a bit of a strange issue with my 2019 Encore Preferred. Have had it for 3 years now and up until the last month, I never had any issues with the infotainment system. However, recently there will be instances where the infotainment system (screen, radio, etc.) do not shut off after the car has been turned off and the driver's door opens. It is not consistently occurring and the majority of the time the infotainment system shuts off as normal. Any ideas on what this may be or if anyone else has run into this issue? From what I've gathered, it seems like it may be an issue with the retained power accessory (RAP) or the body control module (BCM).

Hello folks. I just bought a 2013 Buick Regal 2.0 L turbo.
The check engine light was on and I haven’t checked on it yet.
I took it out and floored it to see how much speed it had and when it tried to go into overdrive, it started jerking violently and the check engine light started blinking. It went back to solid after two minutes and I let off on it.
Any ideas as to what this could be would be greatly appreciated.

I had replaced the speakers in my doors, but misplaced the clips and I am now unable to find replacements for them. The clips are seen in this video, at the timestamp:
I have tried multiple OEM shops and checked Amazon too, but I cant find something that would fit right. Am I missing something?
This is the closest I have found so far:

We all have those days where we just need a good laugh, so let’s get a dedicated discussion going for exactly that.
The rules are simple: If you see a picture, meme, or comic that makes you laugh, drop it here.
The rules are simple: If you see a picture, meme, or comic that makes you laugh, drop it here.
- Keep it within the forum rules (let's keep the completely Not Safe For Work stuff out of here).
- No politics or heavy drama - this is an escape from all of that!
- Context is optional. Sometimes a weird photo with no explanation is the funniest part.

2012 Buick LaCrosse. Bought used from Dad.
I've tried everything, but every time I press a Memory button, seat goes down and back instead of how I set it. I've followed the steps below with no change. I never hear a beep.
1. Standing outside the driver’s door, open the door and using the long manual forward and back seat switch, move the whole seat fully forward until it stops.
2. Now using the same seat control, move the whole seat fully to the back until it stops. You may hear repeated beeps during this motion.
3. Now use the seat back tilt control to lay the seat back fully down toward the rear seat. Again, you may hear repeated beeps. Continue laying it back until it stops.
4. Using the same tilt control, now tilt the seat back fully upright until it stops.
5. At this point, the seat position memory should be reset as it has counted the rotations of each of the associated seat motors and now knows the seat’s actual location.
6. Get in the car, close the door and start the car. Leave the car in Park and remove your foot from the brake..
7. Using the appropriate manual seat controls, move the seat to your most comfortable location and preferred degree of seat back tilt. At this time, you may also set your outside mirrors and telescoping steering wheel position using their controls.
8. Once you are satisfied with all the positions, press and hold the Set Button on the driver’s door and then press the appropriate L1, L2, or L3 Memory Button. Continue holding both the Set Button and the selected L1, L2 or L3 Memory Button until you hear a single beep. The present seat location and position are now programmed into the corresponding Seat Position Memory. The fact that you heard a beep confirms that the Seat Position Memory has been reinitialized and is now capable of capturing your preferred settings.
9. You can test your memory settings by using the manual controls to move the seat anywhere away from your ideal position and then press the appropriate L1, L2 or L3 Memory selection. The seat should return to your programmed setting.
10. You may now set the remaining seat memory positions starting with step 6 above.
I've tried everything, but every time I press a Memory button, seat goes down and back instead of how I set it. I've followed the steps below with no change. I never hear a beep.

2. Now using the same seat control, move the whole seat fully to the back until it stops. You may hear repeated beeps during this motion.
3. Now use the seat back tilt control to lay the seat back fully down toward the rear seat. Again, you may hear repeated beeps. Continue laying it back until it stops.
4. Using the same tilt control, now tilt the seat back fully upright until it stops.
5. At this point, the seat position memory should be reset as it has counted the rotations of each of the associated seat motors and now knows the seat’s actual location.
6. Get in the car, close the door and start the car. Leave the car in Park and remove your foot from the brake..
7. Using the appropriate manual seat controls, move the seat to your most comfortable location and preferred degree of seat back tilt. At this time, you may also set your outside mirrors and telescoping steering wheel position using their controls.
8. Once you are satisfied with all the positions, press and hold the Set Button on the driver’s door and then press the appropriate L1, L2, or L3 Memory Button. Continue holding both the Set Button and the selected L1, L2 or L3 Memory Button until you hear a single beep. The present seat location and position are now programmed into the corresponding Seat Position Memory. The fact that you heard a beep confirms that the Seat Position Memory has been reinitialized and is now capable of capturing your preferred settings.
9. You can test your memory settings by using the manual controls to move the seat anywhere away from your ideal position and then press the appropriate L1, L2 or L3 Memory selection. The seat should return to your programmed setting.
10. You may now set the remaining seat memory positions starting with step 6 above.

Twice recently after heavy rains, I've opened the door to find that the foot area of the passenger seat full of water. No other water in the car. Could not find the point of entry. I think it must be traceable to some blockage of ducts, but haven't found it YET around the windshield/wiper/dashboard complex. Anybody have solved the same problem?
