Beautiful Car with only 58K original miles

1989 Buick Riviera RIVIERA Description

The scoop: This is a rust-free Houston car with only 58,000 original miles. Very clean and in very good condition. Garage kept. Listed below is everything I know about the car, both good and bad.

The drivetrain: 3.8 liter motor. Very clean, fast and strong engine. Shifts smoothly The motor and transmission are both trouble-free and very reliable, economical, too – at 20 to 21 miles per gallon.

The interior: Very nice blue leather & suede interior combination. The interior is in very good condition condition given the age of the car. Carpet is in good condition. Floor mats are in pretty good shape. Headliner is in excellent condition. Lighted vanity mirrors are nice and functional. No rips or tears in the seats although the driver’s seat is beginning to show some wear as is the steering wheel due to age.The interior is all original and in near excellent condition. No cracks in the dash or windshield and no pits in the windshield. All the other glass is perfect as well. Power windows, power door locks, power seats – all function properly. The doors, trunk, and hood all open with ease. Digital dash functions property, has nice clean presentation with a diagnostic tester and digital gauges. Radio sounds good given the technology for that period of time. Purchased and had installed new stereo speakers in both doors and the back dash from Best Buy (cost around $267.00).

Exterior: To my knowledge, this car has never been in an accident and you can tell this by the shape of the body and the way the car handles. Car came from the factory with a pearl paint job. I had it repainted a few years ago with a new Buick color that is not as ‘pearlly’ as the original paint but still has some pearl effect. Other than that, the body is very straight and the body has no rust or other damage.It has blue pinstripes to match the interior. Chrome bumpers and most other trim is in near excellent condition.

Options: Car is fully loaded with every luxury item Buick had for that year. Power everything. Automatic transmission, cruise control, a/c, am/fm stereo cassette, interior lighting group, leather and suede interior, vinyl top, cornering lamps, Buick style-steeled wheels, etc.

Recent maintenance/new parts within the last 1000 miles: Tires are brand new. New battery. New brake job. Tune-up. Oil & filter changed every 3,000 miles. Car passed inspection with no problems whatsoever. The check engine light is NOT on. Air conditioner works perfectly. Cruise control works. In fact, everything on the car functions very well. No repairs are needed. The air conditioner has been converted to the modern R-134 freon type and has a relatively new compressor. Also replaced over the past few years were both window motors. Car needs no repairs and is ready to drive!

In conclusion: I have owned this car for 6 years. Car was owned by the same owner since new up until about 6 years ago when I purchased. It sat up in a garage for a few years before it was finally sold to a family friend who sold it to me. I have put about 8,000 miles on the car in the six-plus years I have owned it. This Riviera is beautiful and is very solid. It runs very smoothly, very tight – feels like a new car, seriously. I would drive this car anywhere. It is modern enough to be used as a dependable daily-driver or could be saved as a future investment. Bear in mind, the car is 26 years old so it is not perfect – but it is in incredible condition for its age. AGAIN,EVERYTHING WORKS ON THE CAR! You would be amazed at how well this car handles the road. I had this car parked at my lake house under the carport for the past 3 years but have since sold the house. Wish I could keep it because it will only go up in value but I just don’t have room for all the cars I own.
