1990 Buick Riviera review from North America
"A high maintence luxury car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
igition problem 1996
car fan not working correctly - 2001
water pump - 2004
Door knob causing lites to come on.
General comments?
The car rights great, good pickup. I probably have spent$12,000 over the last 8 years maintaining the car. Most of the electronic components needed to be replaced including heater/ radio, sensors, LCD dashboard, on board computers. Despite all the maintenance I like the car and am hard pressed to find a replacement. The closest thing I can find is the Cadillac Seville.
