This is a Reatta Convertible that is in it's original condition. We are the second owners and have maintained it well over the years.
This is the only White on White with White leather / Red trim produced. I don't know if this was the ONLY one produced for the GM Dealer Award (see the attached letter from GM to the Buick Dealer), but it was not produced in the planned Reatta production year of 1990 or any of the other Reatta production runs.
Obviously it has not been driven much over the years, but it was serviced by Liberty Buick here in Arizona in June and it is in good running order. The power options and air conditioner works great. It has a CD player (I've never put a CD in it)
The white top is original and it has a small 1/2 inch opening (slit) on the pass side of the top....it should be able to be repaired, without the need for a new top.
The driver's seat is showing wear on the side bolster as you can see in the picture. The rest of the white leather is in very good condition.
It has been thoroughly detailed, inside and out recently. The white finish is original and you can tell that it's always been garaged. I would bet that a couple of scratches and nicks were taken care of over the years, but it has not been an accident.
I would rate this car to be in good to very good condition. We are not using the car any longer and it's time to find a new owner for it, who will use it and appreciate it.
What I think it needs: The passenger window is slow to go up and down, but works. It definitely will need a new set of tires. The driver's seat bolster should be recovered although it's not an emergency to get it done. The steering wheel leather has some rough surface on it...it's always been covered by a red steering wheel cover. Put some TLC into this wonderful car and you'll have a prized possession that will serve you well!
Please call me with any questions. Thank you. 602-400-6325

Next Buick Regal coming in 2017, could be imported from Germany
Sun, 03 Aug 2014The Buick Regal is based on the Opel/Vauxhall Insignia, a pair of sedans from General Motors' European and British outfits. In fact, over 46,000 Regals from model years 2010 and 2011 were screwed together on the same lines as the Insignia twins, before GM's Oshawa, Ontario factory took over production fully. Considering this closeness, rumors that claim the next-generation Regal - due for 2017 - could move back to Europe aren't terribly surprising. Here's why, according to Automotive News.
Oshawa is home to three other vehicles, aside from the Regal - the Chevrolet Camaro, Impala rental queen and the Cadillac XTS. We already know next-gen Camaro production is headed to Lansing, MI, and that the fleet-only Impala will (finally!) die in 2016. As for the XTS, as AN explains it, sales are so slow that GM will either kill it or just shuffle its production volume elsewhere.
Taken along with the fact that Unifor, the Canadian labor union repping workers at the Oshawa factory, claim GM hasn't made any guarantees about future production at the nearly 60-year-old factory, it seems fairly clear that the Regal's current factory is going to be put out to pasture.
