This means that the figure we’ll give you isn’t just plucked out of the air – but based on what we know cars exactly like yours are selling for.

   However, it is important to remember that because market values are in a constant state of flux, valuations will change regularly. This means that the valuation you receive today might be very different to one you receive a few months from now.

2. Create a car profile for your Buick now – with Motorway, creating a winning car profile is easy! Normally, creating a car profile can be daunting. It’s usually a trade-off between being strictly honest and still showing your car in the best light. What do you say about dents or scratches on the bodywork? How much detail is it best to go into? It can be difficult to know what to say, but with Motorway, we’ve turned creating a great car profile into a stress-free, straightforward process. We’ll simply ask you a few easy questions and guide you through which photos you need to add to your Buick’s profile. This can usually be done right from your mobile phone – and in just a few minutes!

   Our network of verified dealers are very experienced in buying used cars – so, at the end of the day, you don’t need to worry about hiding dents or scratches. Experienced dealers know that very few used cars come without a few cosmetic issues. So, rather than trying to hide anything, you should always try to be as honest as possible when it comes to creating the profile for your Buick. If you’re not accurate, it might mean that the sale falls through later.

3. Now, sit back, relax, and wait to hear from us – one of the many benefits of selling your car the Motorway way is just how easy it is. Once your car profile has been created, we’ll let our dealers know that your Buick is entering our online sale – and then they’ll make their best offer. It really is that simple.

Once the sale is over, Motorway will be in touch to let you know your best price.

   Once you’ve been sent your best offer, all you need to do is say ‘yes’ or ‘no.’ If it’s a yes – brilliant, we’ll move ahead with the sale. If you’re not sure, that’s fine as well. At Motorway, we would never put any pressure on you or lock you into a sale. That just isn’t the Motorway way!

4. The dealer will collect your Buick for free – unlike many of the other online car-buying websites, at Motorway, we’ll never insist on you driving your car to some out-of-the-way drop-off point, only for you to find your own way home without a car…

   With Motorway, your winning dealer will come and collect your car from a location of your own choosing. They will arrive at a time convenient to you, give your car a quick inspection and then pay you by secure bank transfer. In most cases, the agreed payment will be in your bank account within one working day.

A bit about Buick Cars

Buick is an American motor company established by automotive pioneer David Dunbar Buick in 1903.

It was one of the first American automobile companies, and was quickly purchased by Flint Wagon Works, who moved it to Flint, Michigan – the town later becoming nicknamed ‘Vehicle City’.

Buick’s first production vehicle – the 1904 Model B – was an extremely compact car, it had a wheelbase of just 83-inches. Buick produced 37 of these models during its first year, though sales were poor.

Millionaire industrialist Billy Durant saw potential in the company and assumed control of the struggling Buick Motor Company in 1904, using his financial and manufacturing resources to turn the company’s fortunes around.

In 1908, Durant went into talks with the car manufacturer and business magnate Henry Ford, hoping for a merger between Buick and Ford Motors – but talks quickly fell apart.

In response to Ford’s reticence, Durant instead set up General Motors (GM), an umbrella company for several car marques, including Buick, Oldsmobile, Cadillac, and Oakland (later Pontiac). The same year, Buick claimed US car production leadership with the production of 8,820 vehicles. Giving it a steady lead over Ford. It built its one-millionth vehicle in 1923.

In 1942, as the US entered the Second World War, the Buick facility ceased production of civilian vehicles and began producing aircraft engines, ammunition, and the M18 tank destroyer, better known as ‘The Hellcat.’

In 1959, whilst sales of motor cars were flourishing across post-war America, Buick sales slumped. Buick was forced to drop several of its more unpopular models, including the Roadmaster, Super, Century, and Special, and quickly introduce new innovative models, such as the LeSabre, Invicta and Electra.

The ‘Buick Electra 225’ was introduced in 1959. The ‘225’ was a reference to the model’s length in inches. It proved popular and the size of subsequent models kept expanding as a result. By 1975, the Electra had grown to a massive 233.7 inches from bumper to bumper. Becoming the longest vehicle ever produced by Buick.

The Buick Riviera debuted in 1963 and was General Motors’ first foray into the luxury car market. The Riviera was highly praised by contemporary motoring journalists and proved to be a fixture with the Buick car stable for many years.

The controversial ‘boat-tail’ design debuted on the Riviera in 1971. It survived three model years from 1971-1973. On later Rivieras, the boat-tails became increasingly bulky and the rear flanks more muscular, which though a popular design feature proved problematic in terms of performance. Buick designer Bill Mitchell said later of the boat-tail: ‘it got so wide, a speedboat became a tugboat’.

By the beginning of 2009, Buick sales had fallen drastically. Domestic sales for Buicks were only 100,000 cars that year, a record-low for the brand. By mid-year, GM was forced to go into government-backed bankruptcy.

However, in 2010, a second-generation Buick LaCrosse was introduced as a last-ditch attempt to save the brand – and Buick experienced increased sales in the US for the first time since 2002. In 2012, less than a year after its launch in China, sales of the Buick LaCrosse reached 100,000 units in the territory.

In 2017, Buick sold more than 1.4 million vehicles worldwide with the main market being China – where more than 80% of Buicks are now sold.
