1989 Buick Riviera review from North America
"Very comfortable, Ac is so cold it makes my nipples hard, its like a living room on wheels"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
All four tires were replaced at 65,000 because the tread was warped, but I believe they were factory tires so it was time anyway.
Other than that I haven't had any problems at all.
General comments?
Rides like a dream, very smooth. She's pretty fast for a V6 almost as fast as my Eldorado.
I purchased this from an old lady for $2300 (I know I know everyone says that) but I really did she was a school teacher and only used the car to commute to school and back.
I got it in show room condition, but I have since been rear ended and the bumper is a little off (no biggie) I got 1200$ out of the deal too.
