1990 Buick Riviera review from North America
"A classy old car, that makes me feel rich!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Cruise control not working when I bought the car. A $5.00 vacuum actuator
from the wreckers. fixed it.
Everything else works as new.
Very reliable subsystems.
General comments?
I normally would not have considered
a car with such high mileage on it.
But one drive and I was sold. Smooth, Solid, and very quiet. The car still
gets comments on how great it looks.
The complete service record with a personal note from the original owner were a plus. Several people have told me the drivetrain will easily go 300,000
km. with regular maintenance and reasonable driving habits.
