2015 Buick Encore Leather

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. CARFAX HISTORY AND FULL DISCLOSURE CARFAX reports four previous owners, with the vehicle spending part of its life in New York before coming to Colorado. The most recent owners were in Colorado.
