Last month, General Motors announced that the Buick Regal nameplate would be discontinued in North American after the 2020 model year, citing a continuing consumer shift towards crossovers and SUVs. However, for decades prior, the Regal offered premium comfort and luxury wrapped in an easy-to-drive sedan body, and now, customers that still want that combo can get it with this brand-new 2017 Buick Regal still available for sale at a dealer in Vermont.
This particular example hails from the final model year of the fifth-generation vehicle. Decked out in the sporty GS (Grand Sport) trim level, this Buick Regal is equipped with a turbocharged 2.0L four-cylinder engine tuned to produce 259 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque. Output is routed through a six-speed automatic transmission, and connects to an all-wheel-drive drivetrain to send it all to the pavement.
This 2017 Buick Regal GS AWD also comes with standard HiPer Strut front suspension in front and H-arm suspension in the rear. An interactive Drive Control System provides two selectable driving modes, while Brembo front four-pot brakes throw the anchor.
Outside, we find a Black chrome grille, HID headlamps, and a rear trunk spoiler. The corners are stuffed with 19-inch V-spoke alloy wheels, giving it even more of a sporty attitude, and Graphite Gray Metallic covers the body panels.
Meanwhile, inside the cabin, the leather-appointed seating is done with an Ebony finish, while a nine-speaker Bose premium sound system provides the tunes. The infotainment system also comes with navigation, two USB ports, and Bluetooth streaming for integration with Apple CarPlay- and Android Auto-compatible smartphones.
Now, this 2017 Buick Regal GS AWD is up for sale at Capitol City Buick GMC in Berlin, Vermont, with just 234 miles on the odometer. Pricing is listed at $31,410, a whopping $10,000 off the original MSRP of $41,410.

I find it difficult to believe that some dealerships still have brand new vehicles on their lots that are 2 , or even 3 , model years old … This vehicle seems to be well equipped …. There are only 234 miles on its odometer .. These would most likely be ” test drives ” .. Was there not even one of these customers prepared to make an offer on this unit ?? To me , and in my opinion , it always boils down to a failure to negotiate … Everything has a price attached to it ; just find out what it is and then both the buyer and the seller wins … Sounds simple enough to me ..
I just want to explain my above original comment .. The opportunity to actually sell this unit would have been inside of the first year it arrived on that dealers lot … With that out of the way , I totally agree with the comments arriving now that it is no longer a wanted vehicle out there to the public , especially if the dealer wants close to its original price … He’ll have to ” eat it ” because it is really not saleable anymore . I hope I never confused anyone ..
If you bought this car and used it for a month and then tried to sell it, it wouldn’t get more than $15,000. It is an old model of a soon to be discontinued car, with little of the standard equipment in 2020 vehicles. No wonder it hasn’t sold to date.
Unless they drop the price of this Regal GS another $15K, it is doomed to the crusher. Nice enough car, but for $31,410 there are far better and more modern 2020 models out there.
This car should be sold as a very low mileage 3 year old car with a full factory warranty. I believe the dealer may have erroneously thought this car was similar to the 1987 Regal GNX in ‘collector value’ – no comparison!! It is simply a rebadged Opel, and that’s it.
The comments here dismissing this car as somehow substandard and ill-equipped are misinformed at best, and probably written by people that have never actually been within 50 feet of the car, let alone driven it. While the price the dealership is asking is a little higher than what they will eventually get for it, it’s a premium, well performing car, and a screaming bargain for what you’re getting.
I got my new 2017 Regal GS in September of 2018, with AWD, leather interior, Bose Soundsystem, adjustable suspension, and basically every option you can get (including what you can get on the latest vehicles, unlike some other person claimed), for $26k. Outside of the latest luxury models, it has a nicer interior than just about every other sedan currently on the market.
It also has a 50k mile bumper-to-bumper warranty and 70k mile powertrain warranty that started when I bought it (Buicks get the same warranties that Lexus, Infiniti, BMW, Cadillac, etc. do). It will probably still be under warranty when I pay it off. Try driving one, and if you can find a brand new comparable car with all of that for the same money, go buy a lottery ticket too because you’re very very lucky.
Someone else made a comment about what you would get for it after buying it. Guess what: that happens with all cars. Go buy a $65k Mercedes and then see how much you get for it on trade-in a week later.
