NOW AVAILABLE – 2019 BUICK ENCORE PREFERRED – ONLY 76K MILES – CLEAN CARFAX – NO ACCIDENTS – RIDGELINE RECONDITIONED

76,642 Miles | Stock #J1054
VIN: KL4CJASB1KB726093
1.4L Turbocharged 4-Cylinder | 138 HP
6-Speed Automatic 

If you're looking for a newer, affordable compact SUV with low miles, good fuel economy, easy maneuverability, and a clean CARFAX, this 2019 Buick Encore Preferred checks a lot of boxes.

With only 76,642 miles, this Encore has averaged roughly 11,000 miles per year since new. It uses GM's 1.4L turbocharged four-cylinder paired with the 6-speed 6T40 automatic transmission. Our shop records confirm the 1.4L LUV turbo engine, and we've just completed $1,257.14 in Ridgeline inspection, diagnostics, maintenance and repairs before offering it for sale.

CLEAN CARFAX – NO ACCIDENTS OR DAMAGE REPORTED

This is one of the biggest positives with this Encore.

The current CARFAX reports:

• No accidents or damage reported
• No total loss
• No structural damage reported
• No airbag deployment reported
• No indication of odometer rollback
• No open recalls reported
• No salvage, rebuilt, flood, fire, hail or lemon title brands
• 14 documented service records
• Last owned in Colorado

CARFAX shows four previous owners, although the first two ownership periods were lease vehicles. The vehicle started as an Ohio personal lease, was subsequently leased in Florida, and later had personal owners in Texas and Colorado.

GOOD DOCUMENTED SERVICE HISTORY

This Encore has continued to receive documented maintenance throughout its life.

CARFAX shows oil changes and service going back to its early ownership. More recently, at 57,133 miles, it received a substantial service that included a maintenance inspection, oil and filter change, air and cabin filters, brake inspection, rear brake pads and rotors, tire replacement, mounting and balancing, and a wiper/washer inspection.

At 69,969 miles, an additional maintenance inspection was performed and the engine/powertrain computer system was checked.

It also passed its Colorado emissions inspection at 76,593 miles in August 2026.

OVER $1,250 IN RIDGELINE RECONDITIONING

This is where buying from Ridgeline is different.

We don't simply buy a vehicle, wash it, and put it online.

This Encore went through Ridgeline Automotive, our full-service repair facility and NAPA Auto Care Center. Our current work order totals $1,257.14 in inspection, diagnosis, maintenance and repairs.

Recent work includes:

• New front brake pads
• New front brake rotors
• New NAPA battery
• New Advanta Edge Touring All-Season tire to match the other newer tires
• Mount and balance
• New EVAP canister purge solenoid
• Master window switch repair/replacement
• Three new Bosch wiper blades
• Full synthetic 5W-30 Dexos oil and filter
• BG EPR Engine Performance Restoration
• BG MOA Advanced Formula
• Complete multipoint safety inspection
• Full vehicle module scan
• Engine diagnostic
• Road testing

The front brake job alone included new NAPA pads and two new NAPA rotors. The battery was also replaced with a new NAPA unit after our inspection found the existing battery tested at only 200 CCA.

WE DIAGNOSED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT – WE DIDN'T JUST CLEAR IT

When this Encore arrived, it had a check-engine light with P0496 – EVAP System Flow During Non-Purge / High Purge Flow among the stored faults. Our technicians performed a Level 1 engine diagnostic rather than simply clearing the light and sending the vehicle down the road.

The repair included replacement of the EVAP canister purge solenoid/valve.

That's an important distinction when shopping for a used vehicle. Clearing a code takes seconds. Finding the cause and repairing it correctly is what matters.

NEW FRONT BRAKES

Our inspection measured the front brake pads at approximately 4mm, so we didn't wait for the next owner to deal with them.

We installed:

New front brake pads
New left and right front brake rotors

The CARFAX also shows that the rear brake pads and rotors were replaced at 57,133 miles, giving this Encore a nice recent brake-service history front and rear.

NEW BATTERY

Battery testing showed the old battery was weak, testing at only 200 CCA, so we replaced it instead of trying to squeeze a little more life out of it.

A new NAPA battery was installed and tested as part of the reconditioning process.

TIRES ADDRESSED TOO

The inspection identified one tire that was dry-rotted and different from the others. Instead of leaving it, we installed a new Advanta Edge Touring All-Season tire and mounted and balanced it to match the other newer tires.

PREMIUM FULL-SYNTHETIC OIL SERVICE

We also completed our BG-enhanced oil service using:

5W-30 Full Synthetic Dexos Oil
New NAPA Oil Filter
BG EPR Engine Performance Restoration
BG MOA Advanced Formula

Especially on a turbocharged engine, we want to start the next owner out with fresh, quality oil rather than simply checking the dipstick and calling it good.

FULL RIDGELINE SAFETY INSPECTION

Our inspection goes considerably beyond a quick walk-around.

This Encore was checked for battery and cable condition, module faults, power accessories, horn, windshield, wipers and washers, instruments and warning lights, engine startup and idle quality, road-test drivability, seat belts, exterior lighting, HVAC operation, fluid levels, windows and mirrors, engine compartment condition, air filter, undercarriage, seals, hoses, suspension, axles, fuel system, brake lines, exhaust, tires and brakes.

When we found items that needed attention, we addressed them.

WHY THE BUICK ENCORE?

The Encore is a great fit for someone who wants the seating position and versatility of an SUV without the size, fuel consumption or price of a larger crossover.

The 1.4L turbocharged engine provides plenty of power for everyday commuting while the compact dimensions make this Buick extremely easy to park and maneuver around Boulder, Denver or anywhere else along the Front Range.

At just 76K miles, this is also getting increasingly difficult to find in this price range.

RIDGELINE WARRANTY & 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

Extended warranty options are also available.

And unlike many used-car lots, we have our own full-service repair facility right next door.

Ridgeline Automotive is a NAPA Auto Care Center, and qualifying preventative maintenance and repairs can carry 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 perfect example. We found a weak battery and replaced it. We found worn front brakes and replaced the pads and rotors. We found a bad tire and replaced it. We diagnosed the check-engine light and replaced the EVAP purge solenoid. Then we serviced the engine and road-tested the vehicle.

That's what "Ridgeline Reconditioned" means.
