The Buick Legacy
There are quite a few American car companies that have a history going back more than 100 years, but Buick is the oldest auto manufacturer still in business today. The brand got its start all the way back in 1899 as the Buick Auto-Vim and Power Company. There were some disagreements on how to proceed between chief engineer Walter Marr and owner David Dunbar Buick, but after a few false starts and some change-ups, the Buick Motor Company got its start in 1903. Production moved from Detroit to Flint, MI, the following year, and the overhead valve engine was patented at around the same time. This engine design would become vital to Buick’s early vehicles and a major part of its success.
To give you a sense of how things started and how quickly they moved, Buick made 37 automobiles in 1904, followed by 750 in 1905, then 1,400 the following year, and more than 4,600 in 1907. It made 8,800 vehicles in 1908 and became the top manufacturer in the country, beating out Ford and other companies at the time. During these years, financial troubles caused Buick to look for new investors, and it found William C. Durant in 1904, who became a controlling investor and was a major force behind the push to increase production at that time.
In 1908, Durant founded General Motors with the idea of creating a single, large company that had a number of individual brands. Rather than have these brands compete, however, he wanted each to have its own place and create a larger lineup than one single company might be able to offer. In many ways, Buick was the foundation of GM, and Durant built upon it with additional acquisitions in the years following its founding, including Cadillac, Chevrolet, and more. Over the last century, numerous brands have come and gone, including some within GM, but Buick has stood the test of time and proven itself over and over again.
Today, Buick remains a vital part of GM and is slotted high up as a luxury brand just below the pinnacle Cadillac models. You can see this in the gorgeous designs and sophisticated interiors that Buicks are well known for, giving you a driving experience that you cannot find anywhere else. While Chevy and GMC models are certainly excellent vehicles, if you are looking for something a bit more refined, then a Buick is a terrific choice. Such a prestigious history has created a legacy that Buick still lives up to. With a pre-owned model, you get to enjoy all of this refined luxury while keeping an amazing vehicle on the road even longer.
Fantastic Pre-Owned Buick Models
While some brands offer a seemingly endless variety of models to choose from, giving you an overwhelming array of options, Buick keeps things simple. There are only a few Buick SUVs available these days, which you will find as you look at different used Buick models. This makes it easy to consider what is available, look at the variety of features on each used Buick, and get exactly what you want without worrying about missing out on anything. Such a streamlined selection is perfect when shopping for a used vehicle because it keeps things simple, but you still have plenty of options to ensure you can find what you need.
If you are looking for something on the smaller side, then a used Buick Encore is a great choice since it has been the entry-level crossover in this lineup for several years. The Encore has been a favorite of many drivers for years, so you can find a lot of them out there as you look at used options with a variety of features inside them. If you like the feel of a luxurious sedan, then look for a pre-owned Buick LaCrosse, which was discontinued after the 2019 model year but has proven itself a gorgeous option on the used market.
For something a bit larger, a pre-owned Buick Encore GX is a terrific choice. Don’t let the name fool you; this is not a trim for the Encore but a completely separate model. The Envision is another popular and luxurious compact crossover model, making it a terrific choice if you want something that is great for getting around town and enjoying every drive. If you have a growing family, then the midsize Buick Enclave could be the perfect option for you, providing you with a sophisticated and spacious interior along with Buick’s renowned level of performance. No matter which model you prefer, we will show you what we have on offer and make sure you get the features and driving experience you prefer.
Easy, No-Fuss Financing
You might not expect to see this from a Buick dealership, but we will just say it: We know that financing is not the part of the car-buying experience that most people look forward to. In fact, for some folks, “financing” can seem like a dirty word, and it is something to be feared, dreaded, and avoided at all costs. We get it: a lot of customers have terrible experiences at other dealerships thanks to pushy financing people and a lengthy process seemingly designed to wear you down and get you to agree to anything just to get out of there.
That is not what you will find when you shop with us at Kemna Auto of Fort Dodge. Our approach is simple: we want to make every aspect of your car-buying experience as easy and rewarding as possible, which includes financing. One of our financing experts will take you through the options available to you as you look for a used Buick and make sure you get the best terms possible. We want to see you drive away happy with everything you need, including great financing terms and payments that fit your budget.
