    I bought this a few months ago to have something to work on and enjoy this summer with my son but I don't have the time for it and don't want it sitting taking up garage space. I bought it from IN after seeing how clean the body and interior were. It has no dents or rust and the inside has no tears, rip or burns. The previous owner did low 13's in it and it still runs and drives like stock. It is loaded with all power options, monsoon radio (tape stuck in it), climate control, sunroof and heated seats (everything works). I was told it needed front suspension work and battery so I trailered it home with a spare set of factory rims and tires.

    Here is the list of things I was told it had:

    XP cammed at 110k chassis miles
    Crow 105# valve springs
    3 angle valve job and new seals when cam installed
    3.2 SC pulley
    Colder plugs
    Cold air intake/filter
    Motor has 110k on it
    NA trans (02 LS w/60K miles) with HD differential and 3.29 gears
    SLP headers
    PRJ Tuned (I verified this)
    3" exhaust into 2.5" at first bend
    F body front brakes
    Front strut and rear shock brace
    Borla PRoXS muffler and Magnaflow resi
    Brand new axles
    18x8 +42 HP Evo Lightning (stock rims incl)
    brand new lower motor mount
    20% lifetime warrantied tint all around
    35% on the windshield
    HID's, LED's and tinted tails

    I brought it to the shop to install new 2 front Monroe Sensatrac strut package incl the spring, strut mount, bearing plate and spring seat. I had a new front anti roll bar installed with all new attaching hardware, new battery and front end alignment (all 1K). There pointed out a few disconnected harnesses and a loose bolt on the ball joint that they tightened up for me. The seller said the orig trans was blown and they installed a NA one with 60K and the HD differential (3.29) and it was tuned prior to my purchase. The speedometer doesn't work, no EGR, the ABS and traction control are disabled and the tires are low on tread. On the exterior it is missing the lower panel from the passenger front door and the rear passenger door is a lighter color. The lower engine mount was replaced but needs nuts to secure it. I drove the car during the winter to work a few times and ran errands in it. It started every time, idled good and had a lot of power but because of the front tires traction was always a problem when getting into it. Recently driving it I saw oil dripping real good from the engine compartment. I added oil and drove it to work twice to check it out and the car still runs and drives fine but there is a good oil leak (not sure where from) and I am taking it as my final sign to let it go. This drives and stops straights and makes no noises. I am pricing it as a project ready to go to someone more time and knowledge who can get it back into shape. I am asking 2,300 and need it gone ASAP! Any questions contact Joe at rowekmr (at) aol.com or 773 879 zero681

    Sorry I wasn't notified there were responses but yes the speedometer and odometer do not change their numbers (mile 130K). The trans was recently replaced and for some reason the VSS isn't connected or operating.

    Or you can do google quote for auto transportors and either get the individual companies or connect with brokers who work with many companies (but take a %). I once shipped a suv from PA to IL for $500 and a 1 ton van from FL to IL for $700 so depending on the time frame you can get a range of prices.

    PRICE DROPPED 2K Will consider partial trades

    Here is the photobucket pics: 2002 Buick Regal GS Photos by rowekmr | Photobucket

    It was hooked up to scanner and it read EGR, VSS, oil switch and wheel speed sensor codes and it didn't appear to be tuned for the 3.29 gears.
