the Monticello GM dealer in Monticello no longer carries Buick — leaving White County buyers in Monticello and Reynolds without a local option. Currie Motors Buick GMC in Valparaiso is your nearest franchised Buick store — 55 minutes north on US-421. 2026 Encore GX: three trims (Preferred, Sport Touring, Avenir) starting at ~$26,200, AWD available on all, 11” display standard. Premium small SUV. No towing at highway scale — but right-sized for Monticello’s roads and budget.
The local GM dealer has served White County for over a century and continues to do so — but the Buick franchise was dropped. Monticello and Reynolds (5 miles north on US-421) now share the same nearest-Buick-dealer, and that is us. With under 30 units on the lot across all brands, even their GMC selection is thin. For new Buick vehicles, Currie Motors is the nearest authorized option.
US-421 North from Monticello is a straight road into Valparaiso — no complexity. About 50 miles, 55 minutes from Monticello, 50 minutes from Reynolds. Remington buyers in Jasper County are 45 miles north via I-65 (roughly 45 minutes).
Three trims, two engine options, AWD available on all. What it is: a premium compact SUV sized for Monticello’s downtown streets and county roads, with a Buick-quality cabin at an accessible price.
