A man from Piketon was more than happy to find out his charitable nature led to him winning a 2007 Harley Davidson motorcycle during the 2011 Miami County Relay for Life.

The annual event sponsored by the American Cancer Society (ACS) has participants walk 24 hours straight in an effort to help raise funds and awareness for cancer research. Those who participate in the annual event include both cancer survivors and supporters alike.

This year, Troy, Ohio-based businesses Dave Arbogast Buick GMC Van RV, The Caroline Restaurant and the Troy Fish and Game teamed up for a "Ride for Life Harley Raffle" for this year's Relay. Raffle tickets for the drawing were $20 each with all proceeds donated to the ACS.

In total, the three businesses behind the raffle were able to raise about $6,000 through ticket sales.

The raffle ticket belonging to Piketon resident John Mossbarger ended up being pulled. Mossbarger is now the proud owner of a 2007 Harley Davidson XL883L Sportster Motorcycle.

Those behind the Harley raffle added they always look forward to helping out when they can.

Buick to Get New Model in US

Published Tuesday, 10 May, 2011 by Blake Arbogast. Categories: Buick.

Last month Europe got its first look at the 2012 Opel Astra GTC. Why do we care here in the United States? Well, General Motors has announced that it will be coming over the ocean to us in the form of a new model Buick!

The Astra is not new in the states, it was here originally as the Saturn Astra. Opel took the vehicle, redesigned and drastically improved it and released it as the Astra GTC.

The car will be offered with hatchback and convertible models, as well as four and six cylinder models. The Astra would have probably come into the Pontiac line up if it were still around, but it will now help to continue with the reshaping of the Buick image.

Keep your eyes peeled for more information regarding this exciting new addition to the Buick line up! Check our website out periodically at for updates. As a Buick dealer we will be proud to help get you behind the wheel of your very own as soon as we get them in!

Watch Out, Buick's Coming!

Published Monday, 09 May, 2011 by Blake Arbogast. Categories: Buick.



Watch out, automakers, there is a new sheriff in town.  One of GM's brands is becoming the hottest name in the American car market today.  Buick is quickly winning over customer support with their brand overhaul and marketing strategies.

Take note, Ford, Dodge, Honda, and Toyota, because Buick has been taking over 40% of its sales from consumers who used to be part of other manufacturers' customer bases, and there is a good chance that they have taken customers right out from under your nose.

After the days of the legendary Skylark and Grand National, Buick went on the back-burner as its more publicized big brother Chevrolet and competitors Chrysler and Ford jockeyed for position of highest selling brand in America.  Nissan, Honda, Mitsubishi, and Toyota's arrivals in the states from the Land of the Rising Sun only served to cause Buick to become even more neglected by the American consumer.

IntelliLink to be Introduced in 2012 Models

Published Monday, 09 May, 2011 by Blake Arbogast. Categories: Buick, GMC.

 Gone are the days when a cell phone was chosen purely by its ability to place and receive calls.  With the advent of the smartphone, having apps that combine practicality with functionality are swiftly becoming the norm.  Smartphones such as the iPhone and Android allow us to read the newspaper, watch YouTube videos, and get directions all with the touch of a button.

GM is looking to cash in on the smartphone craze, and directly compete with the Ford SYNC, with its MyLink system that is scheduled to come out later this year on Chevrolet models, and will soon be expanding it into the Buick and GMC brands.  It is being changed to IntelliLink for  new Buick and GMC models, but will be virtually identical to MyLink.  The newest models to feature this top of the li ne technology are the 2012 Buick Regal, LaCrosse, and Verano, and the 2012 GMC Terrain.

Review of the Week: "Website was Easy to Follow and Useful"

Published Thursday, 05 May, 2011 by Blake Arbogast. Categories: Testimonials.



I was in a terrible accident that left me without a car. I wanted to be able to shop online find the vehicle I wanted, go to the dealership, purchase it with no hassle. At Dave Arbogast that is exactly what happen. I had contacted other dealerships from seeing them on the internet and the sales person either didn't get back to me or they did not take me seriously. I called Dave Arbogast about a 2008 Saturn Outlook, there website was easy to follow and useful.

When I called I spoke with a Joe Bauman who immediately went into action. He took all of my information and within an hour he told me I was approved and that I could come get my vehicle. I was excited to say the least. On the day I went to pick up my vehicle, it was sitting waiting for me, freshly washed!!! It took no longer than an hour to sign paperwork and for me to be back on the road. Dave Arbogast and Joe Bauman made me whole again. I have found where I will be purchasing my vehicles from now on, The Dave Arbogast Family. They are now officially part of my extended family. Thank you!

Sincerely,

Aleisha A Walden
