Yet put that family in the 2008 Buick Enclave CXL and suddenly things are looking up. Buick's crossover utility gives the kids their own captain's chairs with separate climate controls, while the folks in the front seats get a super-quiet ride, XM radio and four-way power lumbar seat support. After hours in the 2008 Buick Enclave CXL, our backs and behinds are still free of the usual road fatigue. And this simple pleasantness sets the Enclave apart. It's not so much fun to drive as it is easy to live with. People Package The Enclave comes in two flavors — CX and CXL. We tested a basic Enclave CX back in May, but our top-shelf CXL features a long list of luxury appointments, including 20-inch wheels (dealer installed), leather-appointed seating and (our favorite) power four-way lumbar adjustment for the front seats. Both trim levels seat seven with second-row captain's chairs as standard equipment, but an optional second-row bench (available at no charge) brings seating capacity to eight. Either choice will fold flat and slide forward with a single lever, leaving an easy pathway rearward to the 60/40-split, fold-flat third row. The third row accommodates three adults with plenty of legroom, though they might not be so comfortable if they're broad-shouldered. Behind the third row is a very generous 18.9 cubic feet of cargo space. You can drop down the second and third rows for a Tahoe-beating 116.2 cubic feet of cargo capacity. Let It Ride Built on the new GM's Lambda platform, the Enclave shares its underpinnings with GM's other crossover SUVs, the Saturn Outlook and GMC Acadia. All feature a 275-horsepower 3.6-liter V6 and six-speed automatic transmission, and cavernous interior space is shared across all three vehicles as well, so what distinguishes them are largely interior amenities and suspension tuning. The Enclave is the most luxurious of the three. The softly sprung ride is extremely agreeable, as you'd expect in a vehicle that's almost 202 inches long. It handles rough pavement, and does so without feeling as if it's floating down the road. The brakes are somewhat mushy, though, and it takes 136 feet to stop this 4,780-pound big boy from 60 mph. Ever aware of the strict new federal fuel-economy standards, Buick has tuned its luxury SUV for fuel economy, and the front-wheel-drive Enclave gets a best-in-class 16 mpg city/24 mpg highway (estimated), while the all-wheel-drive version is rated at 16 mpg city/22 mpg highway. We managed 16 mpg overall, a combination of driving across the desert at high speed with a full load of luggage, plus crawling through stop-and-go city traffic. While there is power to be had, a big push on the throttle is required to get the transmission to shift down a gear and take advantage of the 3.6-liter V6's 251 pound-feet of torque. It takes the Enclave some 8.8 seconds to accelerate to 60 mph, although this is not a deal killer in this category. If you really need to downshift right away, it's best to use the manual shift buttons on the console-mounted shift lever. (We'd prefer them on the steering wheel.) Through the quarter-mile, the Enclave does the job in 16.8 seconds at 83.4 mph, nearly as quick as a Chevy Tahoe V8. Showing Off Our Big, Flashy Jewel When you pull up to valet parking at a five-star Vegas hotel, the family might feel low-rent stepping out of a sport-utility or a minivan. Not so with our Enclave in Red Jewel Tint. Its flowing character lines and chrome trim give this crossover enough style to sit side by side with the luxury makes. The Enclave wants to be something other than a vehicle that screams, "I've got crumbs all over the floor," and we found that it was able to break free of all the sport-utility and minivan stereotypes. In fact, Buick compares the Enclave to the Acura MDX, BMW X5, Lexus RX 350 and Mercedes-Benz M-Class, and claims it's quieter than all of them. Starting at $32,790 for the front-wheel-drive CX and maxing out at $36,990 for the all-wheel-drive CXL, the Enclave is less expensive (and roomier) than these vehicles. But let's get real for a moment and admit that the Buick is less likely to steal buyers from the BMW or Mercedes than it is from minivans and body-on-frame SUVs. And it will compete against crossovers that aren't nearly as spacious or as plush, like the Mazda CX-9. Raising the Stakes And plush the Enclave surely is. From its leather-wrapped and wood-trimmed steering wheel to the soft leather seat upholstery and cool-blue instrumentation, the Enclave has its party hat on. Lovely amber-colored wood inlays abound in the curvaceous dash; even the shift lever gets a royal design treatment. But there are a few shortcomings. Like a shirt with too many buttons, the climate controls require too much fiddling to change quickly. The front cupholders are also unfriendly; trying to extract a drink from their tight grip can be a wrestling match. (It once resulted in a wet lap for one of us.) The dealer-installed running boards seemed totally unnecessary to us and even hindered entry and exit. But those complaints pale in light of the overall package. Our test car's entertainment system (one of four that Buick offers) included a 10-speaker Bose sound system with rear-seat audio and a six-CD changer, rating two thumbs-up from our family's resident musician. The Driver Confidence package ($520) includes rear parking assist, a particularly useful device since the Enclave's sloping C-pillars make rear visibility less than stellar. Our car had been equipped with 20-inch chrome wheels as a dealer-installed accessory, and this represents an additional cost of $3,128.60 for wheels and tires and hardware. Trouble is, you have to order an Enclave with a $1,495 package of 19-inch wheels and tires to start. Maybe the dealer will take the 19s in trade and sell you the 20s at a discount, or maybe you'll have to put the 19s on eBay yourself. The Safety Factor Buick has focused on safety and security. Standard equipment includes a full complement of airbags with rollover protection for all three rows, stability and traction control, antilock brakes, plus one year of OnStar's "Directions and Connections" plan (which could practically substitute for an expensive navigation system). The Enclave also boasts a five-star federal crash test rating for driver and passenger frontal impact plus front- and rear-seat side impact, as well as four stars for rollover. These are scores most cars — let alone large SUVs — aspire to. Once you add in the five-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty, the Buick Enclave makes you feel pretty good about packing your family inside, and a trip into the desert won't lead you to scan the skies for vultures. But the most important safety factor might be the Enclave's fail-safe handling. It weaves through our slalom without any drama at 60 mph and manages a respectable 0.77g of grip on our skid pad. Hitting the Jackpot? It's easy to think enthusiasm for crossovers like the 2008 Buick Enclave CXL is based mostly on style. But the Enclave impressed us most with the way it drove. Just like a car, it felt solid and composed, and it never bounded over bumps like a truck or wobbled like a minivan. Although this is a very long and extremely wide vehicle, we never thought twice about its size, and drove it everywhere. Its size was only really noticeable on the inside, where it seemed bigger than a Chevy Suburban. With the 2008 Buick Enclave CXL as with all of GM's Lambda-based vehicles, the real question is whether the Enclave will hit the luxury SUV jackpot or become just one of many new crossover vehicles trying to carve out a niche. It's a high-stakes game in which many will play and few will win. But if luxury, safety and pleasant manners are the trifecta of road travel, the 2008 Buick Enclave is a good bet. The manufacturer provided Edmunds this vehicle for the purposes of evaluation. Second Opinion Edmunds.com Editor in Chief Karl Brauer says: Is it an SUV or a minivan? Neither. That's why it will probably be the best-selling (and certainly most exciting) Buick of the past decade. The Enclave is the most upscale of the Lambda platform crowd, which means it has the quietest cabin and the floppiest handling. It also has the most...uh...creative styling. I prefer the cleaner lines on the Acadia and Outlook, but this vehicle got plenty of double-takes and several comments (all of them positive) over the 48 hours I drove it. Trying to remember the last Buick I could say that about.... Power is well past adequate in the Enclave. You might hear different, and it would feel even quicker if the transmission downshifted without hammering the throttle, but remember, people — this is a Buick. With 251 pound-feet of torque, the 3.6-liter engine feels willing under most situations. If you drive it looking for potential power deficiencies, you can probably convince yourself they exist. The other 99 percent of buyers won't notice. But a V8 will fit under that "portholed" hood, so if power concerns you just wait a year or two. While acceleration is fine on the Enclave, interior space and overall comfort put it at the head of the class. Contrast this vehicle's utility against its supremely carlike ride and handling and GM has a winner on its hands. The minivan is still more practical and the SUV more capable. But this Buick has that most critical of traits — it's desirable.

The seller shall not be responsible for the correct description, authenticity, genuineness, or defects herein, and makes no warranty in connection therewith. No allowance or set aside will be made on account of any incorrectness, imperfection, defect or damage. Any descriptions or representations are for identification purposes only and are not to be construed as a warranty of any type. It is the responsibility of the buyer to have thoroughly inspected the vehicle, and to have satisfied himself or herself as to the condition and value and to bid based upon that judgement solely.

Terms and Conditions: Payment Options We accept the following payment methods: - Cashier's Check/money order - Loan check from eBay Financing Center - Cash (in person) Vehicle Pickup & Shipping General Terms Now the fine print... We understand you are buying online, but with us you are not buying blind! We handwrite every single description. We provide 24+ high resolution pictures & we inspect and photo what you see and what you can't see. We'll also be glad to email you detailed, closeup pictures of any area you'd like to see more of. People ask us all the time what is the catch to our vehicles. They assume that the prices are low because there is something wrong with them. Nothing could be further from the truth! Our secret is simple...LOW OVERHEAD. We are an internet-only dealer. We do not maintain regular office hours or a large sales facility. We simply have a Mississippi bonded dealer's license, a storage lot, and a computer. Since we don't have dozens of mechanics, helpers, salesmen, secretaries, etc. on our payroll; we are able to sell at greatly reduced prices. You will notice that we sometimes go with private auctions. Our reasons are twofold...the latest scam is to send bogus 2nd chance offers to customers from a fake email address in an attempt to scam them out of money. With a private auction the scammers won't know who our bidders are so if you get a 2nd chance offer from us you will know that it is the real deal! In addition, we set our reserves to sell which upsets other sellers! In fact, sometimes we set our reserve $1,000 or more below what our cost is. This leads other sellers to email our customers and knock our product! We will provide the winning bidder, upon request, with a complete bid history including the usernames & bid amounts of all other bidders. All new or low feedback (under 5 positives) bidders must first email us for no other reason than just to make contact. This way we know we have serious bidders! If you don't make contact we will cancel your bid and black you out from future bidding. We do this to avoid the de@dbe@t bidders, so please respect our policy. If you have a rating of 5 or better you don't have to email us. In the meantime, sit back and enjoy our site and add us to your favorites, because you just never know when your dream vehicle will pop up!!! We've put this vehicle through our EXTENSIVE inspection process & can report it has a great ride & drive! We do our best to let you know of any/all issues we can find on these vehicles since you're buying sight-unseen. WATCH THE VIDEO. If you have any specific questions then don't hesitate to call us email us. Please understand we do our best to describe, in detail, every vehicle we offer to the Ebay public. However, if you have any hesitation during the bidding period, please obtain a Buyer's Inspection PRIOR TO PLACING YOUR BID to satisfy yourself. After the auction ends, understand you are the legal winning bidder of this auction and agree to all our Terms and Conditions. Be sure and take a look at the book values on this vehicle (or any other we have for sale) before you bid. We stopped offering a built-in BuyIt Now option due to ebay's policy of letting anyone with an email address register a username. We had half a dozen de@dbe@t bidders in a row hit the BIN with no intention of paying. We do have a BuyIt Now price so give us a call if you're interested. Make sure you call us for more information on this vehicle. As always though, our reserve is THOUSANDS less than NADA value so bid early & bid often so you don't miss out! Don't be outbid at the last minute! With the eBay proxy bidding system all you have to do is enter the maximum amount you're willing to pay when you get ready to bid. Ebay will then automatically bid against other people for you up to that amount to help make sure you don't miss out. This saves you from getting sniped in the last few seconds of an auction by someone with a computer program. Don't try and bid in small increments at the last minute...go ahead & bid the full amount you're willing to pay then let eBay do the hard work! This vehicle is for sale locally so we must reserve the right to end the auction early due to local sale. However, once the reserve is met then we will let the auction run its course & sell to the high bidder. Now for the fine print... Warranty Information AS IS - NO WARRANTY This vehicle is being sold as-is, where-is with no warranty; expressed, written or implied. Please be aware that we are NOT PERFECT. We go to great lengths to make sure our ads are correct, BUT occasionally we do make a mistake. The seller shall not be responsible for the correct description, authenticity, genuineness, or defects herein, and makes no warranty in connection therewith. No allowance or set aside will be made on account of any incorrectness, imperfection, defect or damage. Any descriptions or representations are for identification purposes only and are not to be construed as a warranty of any type. It is the responsibility of the buyer to have thoroughly inspected the vehicle, and to have satisfied himself or herself as to the condition and value and to bid based upon that judgement solely. The seller shall and will make every reasonable effort to disclose any known defects associated with this vehicle prior to the close of sale. Seller assumes no responsibility for any repairs regardless of any oral statements about the vehicle. Folks, we don't mean to sound harsh, but we do sell used cars. If you want a car in brand new condition then go pay anywhere from $20-60,000 or more at a new car dealer. We will make every reasonable effort to describe the vehicle, and we include many photos to assist in that effort. However, it is important to remember that these vehicles are pre-owned, not brand new. Therefore, minor items such as cigarette lighters, manuals, CD changer magazines, keyless entry remotes, etc. may be missing. And, as with any used vehicle, minor signs of wear may become apparent under close inspection. This may include small chips, light scratches or minor abrasions, wheel scuffs, and other indications of normal wear and tear. We cannot and will not be held liable or responsible for these issues. We Disclose our cars as much as we can, But don't forget you are bidding on a USED car. If you have any questions about the condition please feel free to contact us. We Sell At Below-Wholesale Prices And Cannot Provide Spare Keys Or Floor Mats Unless They Are Already With A Vehicle. Feel free to contact us if you need this information. We CANNOT Be Held Responsible For Expenses Or Repairs Beyond The Point Of Delivery. We say this for the simple fact that once you leave then what happens hundreds of miles down the road is out of our control. We do our best to make all our vehicles road-ready. In most cases we have already driven them 4-800 miles ourselves. Terms of Sale Winning bidder MUST contact us within 24 hours of auction end and make arrangements for payment at that time. Balance due within 5 days of auction end. This is due to the large number of de@dbeat bidders out there. If no contact is made within 24 hours we reserve the right to re-list the vehicle, sell it to the next high bidder, or otherwise dispose of it. PLEASE arrange your own financing prior to bidding. De@dbeat bidders WILL receive negative feedback & be reported to ebay. Payment Must Be Made VIA Cashier's Check, Bank-to-Bank Wire Transfer, or Cash (in person). We must be able to verify funds prior to vehicle delivery. Generally we have almost all titles on hand. However, we sometimes buy vehicles that are dealer trade-ins where there is a payoff involved so the title may be delayed. Feel free to contact us if you need to verify we have the title on hand for a particular vehicle. All Titles Are Held For Up To 14 Working Days For Funds To Clear, Then Will Be Sent via Priority Mail. On Average, Titles Go Out Within a Few Days, But Occasionally There May Be Delays Beyond Our Control. We Cannot Accept Credit Card or Escrow Payments. We're happy to help ARRANGE shipping however ultimately it is the buyer's responsibility to pick up or ship the vehicle. Let us know your zip code for a ballpark quote on shipping. Odds are you can save as much as half off the average online shipping quote depending on how much of a hurry you are in to receive your new vehicle. We can do this because most online shippers are not really shippers. They're really brokers who charge you hundreds of dollars to post your shipment on a site that all the drivers use to book loads. This site is not open to the public and charges a ridiculous monthly fee to be a member. We're now set up with them so we can offer you wholesale shipping charges without any markups or fees. We offer it solely as a service to our customers. However, even if you don't buy from us, we can still offer you this service for a small fee. If you leave near Dallas, Atlanta, or pretty much anywhere in Florida then we can get you a really good deal on shipping to those areas. If you prefer to fly in & drive home we'll be glad to pick you up at Jackson Internation Airport ("JAN"), the local Greyhound station, or the Amtrak Depot. Our business hours are from 8:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday-Friday (CST). Please arrange your flight times accordingly. We are more than happy to provide free pickup during normal business hours. We no longer will deliver vehicles after-hours or on weekends. Occasionally things pop up like a blown fuse or a headlight going out and after hours a mechanic isn't there to fix it. We will store your vehicle up to 90 days free, however you must provide full coverage insurance & pay in full. We will not be responsible for damage or theft while in storage here. Our insurance policy will not allow it. If you are not sure about something, Please ASK. Do not assume anything not listed is included. We reserve the right to cancel bids for excessive negative feedback. We reserve the right to end the listing if the vehicle is no longer available for sale. Please make sure that the contact information (email address and phone number) in your ebay profile is up to date. If you're email bounces back on us then we will block you from further bids until you call us. Occasionally we may call to verify a bidder is legitimate. If we can't reach you then we reserve the right to cancel your bid. Please do not bid on this auction unless you are serious about owning this vehicle. We spend approximately $150 per listing. This is how we make our living. All non-paying high bidders will be reported to Ebay and appropriate feedback posted. We are not one of those sellers who is afraid to leave feedback where it is due even at the risk of receiving it ourselves in return(one of the major flaws in eBay's feedback system). You can look at our "feedback left for others" page for proof. PLEASE ONLY BID WHAT YOU ARE WILLING TO PAY. IF THE RESERVE IS NOT MET, WE MAY CONTACT THE HIGH BIDDER TO OFFER THE SECOND CHANCE OPTION. Fees and Taxes MS Residents Must Pay The 5% State Sales Tax on all motorized vehicles (7% on anything else such as campers, travel trailers, etc.) and a $100 Title/Doc Fee. All Other U.S. Buyers Will Pay Their Own State Taxes Themselves In Their Home State. All other bidders pay only a $99 Documentation Fee in addition to the winning bid. This covers our costs for a notary, Fedex charges, and other paperwork. Louisiana, Canadian and other foreign buyers must pay a $149 Documentation Fee to cover the extra Fedex and other expenses associated with doing international (and Cajun) paperwork. We do have Mississippi temporary tags available if you desire one for an additional $50. However, we've sent hundreds of RVs all over the country without them & nobody has ever had an issue driving home. If you want one, LET US KNOW IN ADVANCE. We do not keep them on hand. ☎ Call or text "60732" to 601-533-8230 for more information
