Welcome to the first edition of Dealer Find, a new GM Authority series where we scour the listings for hidden gems left on the lot. Our first Dealer Find is this new 2016 Buick Verano, which looks well-equipped and definitely deserving of a home.
Produced for the U.S. market between the 2011 and 2016 calendar years, the Buick Verano received a number of updates for the 2016 model year, including a new exterior color lineup, new safety technology, and a refreshed array of optional packages.
This particular example can be found on the lot at Randy Marion Chevrolet Buick Cadillac, located in Mooresville, North Carolina. The sedan is draped in Quicksilver Metallic paint and features an Ebony black interior. Under the hood, we find the naturally aspirated Ecotec 2.4L LEA inline four-cylinder powerplant, which is rated at 180 horsepower and 171 pound-feet of torque. The engine is also flex-fuel capable, and can run on either gasoline, or E85 ethanol, as desired. The ‘four mates to a six-speed automatic transmission.
To keep it comfy in the cabin, this Buick Verano is equipped with a number of nice comfort features, including Premium Grade Leather seating, a Bose Premium nine-speaker audio system, driver and front-passenger heated seats, and an eight-way power seat adjustment for the driver. There are also heated door mirrors, a heated steering wheel, making the sedan a great choice for colder climates.
Critically, this 2016 Buick Verano is also absurdly affordable. Originally listed at $28,715, the dealer knocked $7,690 off the price, and it can now be had for just $21,025, all with less than 100 miles on the odometer. Not too bad for a brand-new premium four-door with leather, a Bose stereo, and heated everything.
Stay tuned, as we’ll have more Dealer Finds coming up soon. In the meantime, subscribe to GM Authority for more Buick Verano news, Buick news, and 24/7 GM news coverage.

I have also found 2 year old new Lacrosse models still for sale. Sad!
The Buick Verano is nice, but it’s still a four-year-old car. I was always told that the worst thing to do to a car is to leave it sit and not drive it. So that car has basically sat there for four years, right?
Went thru Edmund’s trade in calculator, noting all options and listing mileage as 100. Said the trade in value was $11,913 and dealer for-sale price of $15,178. Think this one is going to sit further on the lot unless they find a little old lady to play on.
The dealer is on crack! These things depreciate like a stone so good luck getting anywhere near 20K for this rather mediocre little car. My friend just turned in a white 2016 Verano with but 11K miles on a 2018 Regal Tour X and got soaked pretty bad on the trade. The car is now sitting out front for only 11995 and it is loaded just like this one. He won’t tell me what the dealer allowed him for the 2016 but I’m guessing it was less than 8K! I’m betting this one will be sitting collecting dust a lot longer.
Nice Opel
The reality is they will never get anywhere near $21K for that car, no matter how nice it is and that it’s still “new”. Although they were great cars, the car market (as we all know) is not good and being a discontinued car makes it all the worse. It’s sad that these used cars sell so cheap compared to what some other brands will sell for! I’m not saying those brands are worth the money they bring, just that there are sheep out there who believe those brands to be perfect, thus they will pay a ton of money for them.
On the flip side: I sell cars in the L.A. area. I see what you get for around $20 grand any more and it’s really sad. I’d be willing to pay $21 grand for this new Buick way before I’d pay 18-20 grand for a 4 year old Honda or Toyota with 40-60,000 miles! I wouldn’t even think on that one for 10 seconds. But the sad reality is people do pay 18 + grand for those 50,000 mile cars ONLY because of the name attached.
I know a dealer with a 2017 Corvette Grand Sport convertable still sitting unsold.
someone should snatch this up quickly. it will be a collector’s car. that last of buick’s mighty 4 cylinder vehicles before everything went to 3 cylinders!!!!
The dealer’s dreaming on the price; even if this were a top-of-the-line turbo model, it wouldn’t fetch $21K at this point. Unfortunately, the 2.4L Veranos have accumulated a reputation for oil burning and oil leaks. Whoever buys this example would do well to get an extended warranty on it.
This fits with saying many people have been priced out of new cars. I have friends that have bought nice newer used, with remaining warranty, (a group of shorter, fatter couples that love the big epsilons, so I’m rooting for a bench seat Malibu trim. I digress). There just may not be enough retail lessees to match the eventual interested used buyers.
Since building volume through mergers is trending, perhaps GM’s best partner is Enterprise Holdings?
Randy Marion seems to have a lot of new cars that are a few years old
