1989 Buick Reatta

1989 Buick Reatta Description

For sale in our Nashville showroom is a rare 1989 Buick Reatta. This compact sports car was on the front lines, as an American sports car that was built to fight alongside the upcoming import compact car scene. With a wheelbase of just over 98", this Reatta for sale packed a punch, where all the other Hondas, Toyotas, and Mazdas didn't. Instead of a little 4-cylinder, this peppy little front wheel drive cruiser was fitted with a 3.8 liter 6-cylinder engine! Backed by an automatic transmission, this car was known to be an oversized go-kart. With aluminum/alloy wheels wrapped in radial tires, the power is stuck to the ground on both straight-aways and tight corners. Though it was built with performance in mind, it was still a Buick, therefore demanded a sleek and classy presence. The exterior is a beautiful shade of Burgundy with just the right amount of metallic. The metallic pops, giving it a Brandywine type of glisten. This little two door coupe was ahead of its time, with bubbly and round lines that would only be seen in later years on 90s model cars. Speaking of ahead of its time, the interior is the show piece of this vehicle and never ceases to amaze and raise eyebrows. This '89 Buick Reatta is suited just like any other Buick, with gorgeous leather. The tan leather sport buckets are both aesthetically pleasing and comfortable, while giving this Reatta an edginess that most luxury cars of the day did not. The dash is what really makes this car stand apart from the rest. The factory touch screen makes this car futuristic for its time and even to today's standards. The touch screen was top-tier at the time and gives you a nostalgic glimpse of what technology consisted of in the late 80s. Options on this 1989 Buick Reatta, include: A/C, AM/FM radio, cassette, cruise control, lumbar support, power brakes, power steering, power locks, power seats, power windows, anti-lock brakes, tilt wheel, seat belts, leather interior, and aluminum/alloy wheels wrapped in radial tires.
