2008 Buick Lacrosse Super - $11,500

Rare LS4 5.3 v8 powered Buick. 1 of 440 produced in silver and only 2,277 Lacrosse Supers were made in 2008. This is the fastest top speedproduction Buick ever made. Per Car and Driver Magazine, "It isinteresting to note that the Buick stops in less distance, holds onto theskidpad longer, and is quicker and faster than any of its platform-mates(GXP/SS), with shocking high-speed stability, especially considering its rootsand the badge on its nose."
Silver exterior with gray interior. Excellent runner and excellentcondition inside and out. No issues.

The following mods were done by me in the last 2000 miles. Since I'veowned it it's been driven mainly on weekends or around town.

LS4 5.3 V8: recent mods include Harland Sharp 1.8 roller rockers,Trickflo pushrods, LS6 valve springs, LS2 timing chain and LS2 dog bone chaintensioner, NGK TR6IX plugs, 160 degree thermostat, Cold Air Inductions airintake system, engine/transmission professionally tuned with HP tuners and DODtuned out. Updated GM oil pan gasket installed.

Exhaust: ZZP catless 3" downpipe, resonator removed, stockmufflers and tips.

Cartuning Performance fully rebuilt 4t65eHD Transmission: Transgo andSonnax updates including Sonnax billet 3rd gear piston, new chain (GM),Cartuning spec torque converter, Cartuning tricks and mods to valvebody andclutch packs, etc..ready for more power and a long life. Plate styletrans cooler installed.

Suspension: Canuck lowering springs (1" front and 1.6" back), new front upper strut mounts,Moog front and rear swaybar endlinks, front lower control arms fully rebuiltwith Moog problem solver ball joints as well as Moog problem solver front andrear control arm bushings. Intense upper engine dog bone poly bushingmounts and new front and rear motor mounts plus new trans mount. New leftand right Timken front wheel bearings.

Body: Car originally came from Texas. Michigan owner i bought itfrom stored it during winter. I have as well - zero rust and zeroaccidents. I dislike chrome and felt it did not give the car theperformance look it deserved. I had all chrome body moldings, upper andlower front grills, and side ports professionally chemically stripped/dechromed. They were then professionally painted to match body color or glossblack. I ordered new paintable door handles and had body color matched aswell. I also had front bumper cover and rear bumper coverrepainted. Front due to holes from front Texas license plate/stone chipsand rear due to Texas owner had hitch installed and rear bumper was cut forhitch receiver to go through. I bought new headlights and foglights aswell. This is how the car should have come from the factory in myopinion.

Factory Buick 18" wheels have been powder coated gloss black and NittoExtreme ZR tires 235/50/18. Tires have good tread left on them.

Message me or reply if truly interested

Car is located in Michigan. Mileage is at 105k. Inside and out is in excellent condition. Factoring in all the new components and newly built transmission this car has much more enjoyment left in it for someone who can appreciate the rarity and what it turly is. Car is garage kept. Selling as I don't drive it enough and don't want the wife taking it out shopping and such instead of her car!

Welcome to the forums! You have a beautiful car, but most people will want to know the asking price? Have you tried listing it on Auto-trader, Craigslist & local paper?

Easily explainable. The car cannot legally change hands until someone is willing to give their bank account numbers to the seller who happens to be a wealthy Nigerian prince.
