1990 Buick Riviera from North America - Comments

20th Nov 2004, 22:01

"Bought another 1990!"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

I replaced the shock/struts at 50,000 miles.

I Replaced the Coil Pack at 80,000 miles.

I have replaced the water pump twice.

I have replaced the Harmonic Balancer at 75,000 Miles.

Lost this car from tree falling on it during a hurricane.

General comments?

I would be surpised if anyone has any real problem with this car. I replaced the 15" wheels (and OEM shocks) with 16" aftermarket types. It has been a gem. I have lived on the ocean since purchasing this car and have made sure that all electrical connections were "greased" to prevent corrosion. It has never let me down. Each "major" mechanical repair started with a telltale symptom, not a complete failure. I finally lost this car from tree falling on it during a hurricane. Although I am in a position to purchase nearly any other automobile, I bought another 1990 Riviera with 50,000 miles!
