2015 BUICK ENCORE LEATHER AWD – ONLY 84K MILES – 4 NEW TIRES – MAJOR SUSPENSION RECONDITIONING

84,232 Miles | Stock #J1039
VIN: KL4CJGSB3FB040050
1.4L Turbocharged 4-Cylinder | Automatic | All-Wheel Drive

If you're looking for a smaller, comfortable AWD SUV that's easy to park, economical to own and still well-equipped, this 2015 Buick Encore Leather AWD is worth a look.

With only 84,232 miles, this Encore has relatively low mileage for its age. It's also the desirable Leather trim with all-wheel drive, making it a particularly nice fit for Colorado driving. CARFAX confirms the 1.4L turbocharged engine, AWD drivetrain, 27 service-history records and Colorado ownership in its recent history.

More importantly, we've already put over $2,200 into reconditioning it at Ridgeline Automotive before offering it for sale.

RIDGELINE INSPECTED AND RECONDITIONED

This is where buying a vehicle from Ridgeline is different.

Our shop didn't just clean this Encore, change the oil and send it to the sales lot. We performed our comprehensive safety inspection and road test, identified what the vehicle needed, and addressed the important items.

Our current repair order totals $2,285.45 in reconditioning.

Work performed includes:

• NEW Front Strut Assemblies
• NEW Rear Suspension Springs
• NEW Rear Spring Isolators
• 4 NEW Advanta 215/55R18 Tires
• Mount and Balance All Four Tires
• TPMS Sensor Replacement
• Alignment
• Full Synthetic 5W-30 Dexos Oil & Filter Change
• BG EPR Engine Performance Restoration
• BG MOA Advanced Formula Oil Treatment
• Lower Front Valance Trim Replacement
• Passenger-Side Front Wheel Arch Trim Replacement
• Comprehensive Multipoint Safety Inspection
• Full Module Scan
• Road Test

The front strut work totaled $690.18 and the rear spring and isolator replacement totaled another $672.20.

We also installed a complete set of four new Advanta tires, mounted and balanced them, and addressed the TPMS system.

That's a substantial amount of maintenance you won't have to immediately budget for after purchasing the vehicle.

27 DOCUMENTED SERVICE RECORDS

This Encore also comes with a good documented maintenance history. CARFAX reports 27 service-history records.

Some of the more notable previous maintenance includes:

• Regular oil and filter changes
• Transmission fluid changed at 53,001 miles
• Spark plugs replaced at 62,600 miles
• Brake fluid flushed
• Front brake pads replaced
• Front brake rotors replaced
• Multiple tire rotations
• Multiple maintenance inspections
• Four-wheel alignments

The transmission fluid service is documented at 53,001 miles.

At 62,600 miles, CARFAX shows an oil change, fluid check, tire rotation and spark plug replacement. Then at 66,916 miles, the vehicle received a brake-fluid flush along with new front brake pads and rotors.

Combined with the suspension, tires and service we've just completed, there's a lot of documented maintenance behind this vehicle.

WHY WE LIKE THE BUICK ENCORE

The Encore fills an interesting spot in the used SUV market.

It's significantly smaller and easier to maneuver than many traditional SUVs, but you still get an elevated seating position, four doors, a useful rear cargo area and all-wheel drive.

The Leather trim also gives this Encore a more upscale feel than many economy-oriented compact crossovers from this era.

It's a great choice for someone who wants:

• All-wheel drive
• Low mileage for the year
• Compact exterior dimensions
• Comfortable, upscale interior
• Good fuel economy
• Turbocharged performance
• Easy maneuverability and parking
• SUV versatility without driving a large vehicle

For commuting around Boulder or Denver while still having AWD for Colorado weather, the Encore makes a lot of sense.

RIDGELINE WARRANTY AND AFTER-SALE SUPPORT

This Encore includes our:

FREE 3-Month / 3,000-Mile Enhanced Powertrain Warranty

FREE First Oil Change

FREE 3,000-Mile Quality Control Inspection

That 3,000-mile QC inspection is important to us. After you've had time to actually live with the vehicle, bring it back and we'll put it back in the shop and look it over again.

Extended warranty options are also available for customers who want additional protection.

Ridgeline Automotive is also a NAPA Auto Care Center, and qualifying preventative-maintenance services performed through our shop can include a 2-Year / 24,000-Mile Nationwide Peace of Mind Warranty.

WHY BUY FROM RIDGELINE AUTO BROKERS?

We don't simply wash vehicles and put them on the lot.

Every vehicle goes through a comprehensive inspection, receives the maintenance and repairs it needs, and is extensively road-tested before being offered for sale.

Our goal is simple:

Sell vehicles we'd be comfortable putting our own family in.

This Encore is a good example. We found worn suspension components and mismatched/worn tires during our inspection. Instead of leaving those expenses for the next owner, we installed new front struts, new rear springs and isolators, four new tires, performed an alignment and serviced the vehicle.

That's over $2,200 spent after we already owned the car because we believe proper reconditioning matters.
