My new to me 2013 Buick Verano Turbo 6spd manual

[mrgto]

Weather was nice enough here in MA yesterday to give it a quick wash and seal/polish before winter. I don't have a garage and the days of warmer weather are going away quick.

In the spring I'll need to give it a full on detail because it looks like the previous owners (GM and or whomever had it as it is a pre production vehicle) took it through automated car washes and the paint is swirled up good.

Everything was done by hand. IronX and Iron X foam treatment, followed by Wolfgang Sealer and Soulveran wax.

Beautiful car right there, loos sharp:)
Love the color, it's a color that you'll appricate after a full correction.

Thanks for sharing and congrats on your new car

When I took it to the dealer yesterday to get a MA inspection sticker they had never even seen a Verano manual. Rare car I guess.

Congrats on the new car!

[mrgto]

Thanks. The Cavalier I had was totaled by my wife. She ran a stop sign and was hit by a dump truck. She was ok but the car was a loss. This is a HUGE step up.

Is that the new "ruby red" like color GM is puting on many of their cars? I think it's beautiful. The car looks great.

Good choice on the transmission too. Save the manuals!

Thats a nice looking car. But honestly, if you asked me before I saw this thread, I would have said they don't even make Buicks anymore.

Manual. I love it.

HP?

Torque?

[mrgto]

Same basic engine as the Cobalt SS/GXP Solstice/Regal GS. Rated at 250hp/260 ft-lb's of torque. 6spd manual as well.

Yes the color is called Crystal Red I believe.

You should consider removing the dealer advertising from the trunk lid.

Yea I'm going to along with the plate frame. As soon as it stops raining, probably tomorrow.

Congrats on the new ride:)

Congrats! Question, why the Verano, and not the Regal turbo?
Thanks!

Couldn't afford new.
No GS Regals used within 400 miles of me that weren't black. And even then were out of my price range.

I got this car for $4800 under retail and it's certified to boot.

This was the only Verano manual within 1000 miles of me.

Very nice choice. I detailed a Regal GS not long ago and loved it. Interior was great and super comfortable. Only thing I hated was the sunken exhaust tips that had a immense carbon build-up!
