1990 Buick Reatta Convertible on 2040-cars
Los Angeles, California, United States
It is likely if you were drawn to this listing, you know what you’re looking for. Therefore I will spare you from reading a sales pitch full of fluff with little substance. 1990 Reatta convertible with 61,600 miles – a southern California car (no body rust). This car is 1 of 60 produced with this color combination (silver/gray). Body panels are original (no accidents). Paint shines like a new penny. Engine is smooth (no mechanical issues), PS, PW, PB (brakes work as they should - no warning lights on the IP). THIS CAR NEEDS NOTHING. This is a non-smoker, pet free car that can be driven to the grocery store or across the country. Keep in mind the enclosed pictures are each worth a
thousand words, here is more information…. ~ Leather seats are in great shape (no rips or tears) and all power seat functions perform as they should. ~ Newer Haartz cloth convertible top w/ rear glass window
defogger (installed March 2012). ~ Front windshield is clean (no cracks). ~ Tail light lens is clear. ~ Interior convertible liner in terrific shape. ~ Leather steering wheel in terrific shape (no need for a $14.99 steering wheel cover
from Walmart). ~ Two working horn buttons. ~ Cruise control. ~ AM/FM/CD OEM radio with new speakers (cassette player possibly
inoperable). This radio does not crackle. ~ Antenna works perfectly. ~ Tires have approximately 70% tread remaining. Within the past 24 months, the following services have been done (besides a LOF every 3-4 months): -- AC blows cold -- Chrome dual exhaust tips installed -- New headlight assembly for easy open/close of headlight
covers -- Hoses and belts have been replaced. -- New thermostat. -- New PCV valve -- New spark plugs and wires -- New O2 sensor -- New throttle position sensor -- New GE Silverstar headlights (the entire unit, not just
the bulbs) -- Replaced ABS wheel speed sensors and accumulator -- Brake, transmission, power steering & coolant fluids have been changed and/or flushed. The original silver paint has a deep shine with less than expected scratches that would accompany a similar car of this age. Clear coat does not fade or peel. Brief ownership history: As was told by second owner,
original owner was a pediatrician who flew to Washington (state) for a seminar
in Fall, 1990. He missed his flight back home to SoCal and with time to spare
(next flight was the following day), he walked into a Buick dealership near the
hotel. Somewhat on a whim, he bought this Reatta for his wife and drove it
home. Wife didn’t want a convertible so this became his car. In 1993 he passed
away. From 1993 – 2007, the car, while maintained by his wife, didn’t see much daylight.
The wife passed away on 2007. The estate gave the car to the second owner (the
couple’s niece) in 2007. She enjoyed the car until 2012 as a job opportunity
had her relocate out of state. I bought the car from her in April 2012. When purchased, it was already well taken care of. 98% of the items I described earlier were proactive measures to replace what would eventually need attention (typical for Reattas). Not until long ago, the car was my weekend cruiser. This car shows pride of ownership dating back to the original owner. It should be driven and enjoyed but not necessarily as a daily driver (just my opinion). I have owned nine Reattas (six convertibles). My enthusiasm for the car inspired me to start and sponsor the Reatta Rally; which has quickly become the largest independent gathering of Reattas west of the Mississippi. Gratuitous plug: The 2014 Reatta Rally takes place this July in Los Angeles (http://www.ReattaRally.com). Two exterior modifications have been made: 1. Installed chrome exhaust tips (which are removable). 2. I installed 16” Reatta wheels when new tires (225/60-16) were purchased. As known, the larger wheels give the car a better, quieter ride (and fill the wheel-well better). Questions??? Don’t hesitate to ask. Additional pictures available upon request. I would like this car to be enjoyed by a Reatta enthusiast for many years to come. Mileage may vary as car is available locally for viewing
and test drive. $500 non-refundable deposit due from winning bidder within 24
hours of close of auction. Balance due
via bank/cashier’s check or wire within 5 days. Tags, title & license (and
shipping) is the responsibility of the buyer. |

GM cars and SUVs recalled for leaking transmission fluid
Thu, Nov 5 2020General Motors is recalling more than 194,000 vehicles from 2018 to 2020 due to transmission fluid leaks. The leaks stem from an auto stop-start component that may have been installed with loose or missing bolts. The leaking fluid can affect the transmission's performance, and if it leaks onto a hot exhaust component, could potentially cause a fire. GM says that to date, it knows of no accidents or injuries related to the defect. The issue affects models from all four GM divisions. From Chevrolet, the affected vehicles are: 2018 Malibu, 2018–2019 Cruze, 2018–2020 Equinox, 2018–2020 Traverse, 2019–2020 Blazer At Buick, the following models are included: 2018–2019 LaCrosse, 2019–2020 Encore, 2019–2020 Enclave, At GMC, the recall includes: 2018–2020 Terrain, 2019–2020 Acadia Cadillac has two affected vehicles: 2019–2020 XT4 and 2020 XT6 The recall is scheduled to begin in mid-December.
