Used 2004 Buick Regal
Buying Guide for the Buick Regal:
When you’ve achieved success for as long as the Buick Regal
has, five-year increments seem to be the smallest units of
measurements you can use when speaking of its accomplishments.
For more than thirty years the Regal has be around, and that
speaks volumes in itself. And for the fifth year a special
Regal version is available with color and trim touches by
renowned fashion designer Joseph Abboud, in both LS and GS
models.
Regal’s blend of style, safety and modest power seem to be
the foundation for its triumphs. It doesn’t rest its reputation
on any one specific area of design; it attends to each of
the aspects with equal effort. The result is a mid-size sedan
that is well balanced and confident.
Under the Hood
Two engines split the 2004 Buick Regal lineup. Entry-level
LS models feature a 3.8-liter Series II V6 engine that is
able to produce 200 horsepower at 5200 rpm and 225 lb-ft of
torque at 4000 rpm. It is mated to a 4-speed automatic transmission
with overdrive.
GS models have more kick thanks to their 3.8-liter supercharged
Series II V6. It tops out with 200 horsepower at 5200 rpm
and 280 lb-ft of torque at 3600 rpm. The 2004 GS features
Gran Touring suspension and all-season tires for better handling.
A driver side airbag is also included with GS models.
Standard Features, Options Packages and Style
Choices abound with the 2004 Buick Regal. The Joseph Abboud
model has two-tone leather upholstery, a leather shifting
boot and club-style front bucket seats, while the Abboud signature
emblem is displayed on the instrument panel, carpet savers,
headrests and taillamps.
In addition, there are two new Regal packages for 2004: a
Luxury Package and a Leather & Luxury Package. The Luxury
Package includes 16-inch aluminum wheels, the Gran Touring
Package, steering-wheel-mounted radio controls, illuminated
visor vanity mirrors, assist grips at all three passenger
doors with switchable reading lamps, and color-keyed front
and rear carpeted floormats.
The Leather & Luxury Package adds leather seating surfaces,
dual-zone automatic climate control and a split-folding rear
seat.
