Lots of memories for me at that dealership. That is where I bought my first car in 1996. It was a used 1995 Cavalier. As soon as I saw it I knew that was the car. 1995 was the first year of the redesigned look. I loved that car. Had a 10 disc Cd changer in the trunk.

The Buick Encore went on sale at the end of 2012, the Regal was sold from 2010-2020, the Verano from 2011-2017 and the Enclave of that generation from 2007-2017. The convertible, the Cascada, was sold from January 2016 to June 2019. It's safe to say that this dealership closed some time in the year 2016, possibly early 2017. About 6 years of abandonment, looks pretty good. Most buildings still aren't very decayed yet at 6 years abandoned, though. August 1, 2022 2:14 am

Of the vehicles Buick was making that Wallie mentioned (that'd be the 2016 lineup except for the imported from China Envision midsize crossover) only the Enclave large crossover and (until 2022) the Encore subcompact crossover are being made and sold for US. An updated version of the Verano (Summer in Spanish) compact sedan is still being made in China for that market (largest seller of Buicks worldwide). The Cascada compact convertible was the first car ever imported from Poland to US (built by Opel at the time and sold with the same (waterfall in Spanish) name. It hasn't been built for anywhere since the year before GM sold the Opel and Vauxhall brands and factories to PSA Groupe, now Stellantis (today's Chrysler's owners).

I'm personally not a GM person, I have mixed feelings for them but it's good that you love your Chevrolet and Pontiac and you're also right. GM is the ultimate king of rebadging. Take a Chevrolet Silverado. Basically what GMC does is throw on the GMC badge and the Sierra badge and call it a day. Pretty cool that there is also an old Pontiac label scar. I actually have a dealership in my area that, according to Google Maps, was a Saturn dealer at one point but when Saturn closed up in 2011, it turned into a Kia dealer. And also they don't make the Buick Verano, the LaCrosse, or the Regal anymore, sadly. It's all SUV's now because that's what everyone buys. There are some SUV's I like but I'm more of a sedan person. I grew up on sedans. We own a 2007 Toyota Yaris sedan and that car I call my childhood car because we brought that car in 2006 and I was born in 2008. We also used to own a 2008 Ford Focus that we got rid of in 2016 because it was over-heating and then we bought a 2015 Mitsubishi Mirage that we got rid of back in March of this year, and then we bought a 2021 Hyundai Elantra SEL. Our Yaris is still around even though we mainly drive the Elantra because our Yaris's air conditioning needs to be fixed and the Elantra's a newer car and my mom commutes to work in it every day. Our Yaris currently has over 175,000 miles and the Elantra currently has 13,000 miles.
