1985 Buick Riviera Luxury Coupe 2-door 5.0l V-8 on 2040-cars

Year:1985 Mileage:28274
Location:

Santa Ana, California, United States

Santa Ana, California, United States

This car is sharp in black with a dark window tint.  The Upholstery is blue cloth.  The engine is a solid and reliable 307 V-8 coupled with a recently serviced automatic transmission with overdrive.


The Registration has been paid through July of 2015. 

It has Power Steering, Power Seats, Power Windows, Air Conditioning (which currently needs work), Tinted Glass, Newer Tires, Awesome Wire Wheels and a 12-cd changer in the trunk.  It has new shocks all around (air shocks in the rear), so the ride is very smooth.  The headliner is in perfect condition, no sagging

The Odometer says 28,274 but real mileage is probably 128,274.  The engine always starts, idles and runs well.

Issue areas: The paint is high gloss and beautiful, but there are some small chips in it, probably from gravel, mainly on the trunk lid.  The vinyl roof is worn and could either be removed or be replaced inexpensively.  The A/C recently stopped working, I think there is a hole in the line.  The Gas gauge is not working, but I can drive 200 miles before needing a fill-up and have never run out of gas - I just use the odometer.  The blue dash cap has been cracked by the sun but has been covered with a black rubber topper, which looks fine as-is or can be replaced if you desire.

You can use this car to commute every day or make it a hobby car for weekend jaunts.  Either way, you won't be disappointed.  This car is available for viewing in Lake Forest, California.  I will work with any shippers that you contract with directly.  Once released to the shipper, I cannot be responsible for any damage that may occur.

Of course, being almost 30 years old, the car does not come with a warranty and is being sold as-is, with no returns.  You are more than welcome to test drive it and have it inspected by a mechanic before purchase.

I will accept cash, personal check, money order, cashier's check, wire transfer or straight deposit.  Possession and title transfer upon bank confirmation of funds.  If you have any concerns, we can use an escrow service. 

Please feel free to ask any questions you may have.  Thank you for your interest.

GM expands headlight recall to 180k Buicks and Pontiacs

Thu, Aug 20 2015

General Motors is issuing an expanded headlight module recall to include 180,504 examples in North America of the 2005 Buick LaCrosse (2008 model year pictured above) and 2007 Pontiac Grand Prix. Specifically, the campaign affects 159,584 of them in the US and 20,920 in Canada. When the part fails, the vehicles' low beams can stop working either intermittently or permanently. "GM is unable to confirm any crashes, injuries or fatalities related to this condition," the company said in a statement, and there's currently no permanent repair for the problem. For now, dealers will replace the headlamp module with a new example of the same part. The automaker first announced this campaign in November 2014 when it affected 316,357 examples globally of the 2006-09 Buick LaCrosse; 2006-2007 Chevy TrailBlazer and TrailBlazer EXT; 2006-2007 GMC Envoy and 2006 GMC Envoy XL; 2006-2007 Buick Rainier; 2006-2008 Saab 9-7X; and 2006-08 Isuzu Ascender.

NHTSA may greatly expand GM airbag recall

Wed, 05 Jun 2013

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is pondering whether to dramatically upscale a pair of airbag recalls on General Motors vehicles. The two existing campaigns, one launched in the fall of 2012 and the other in January of this year covered just 6,845 vehicles, but the government agency is considering whether to boost the recall to around 400,000 units.
The existing recalls involve the the closely related 2012 Buick Verano (shown) and Chevrolet Cruze sedans, along with Sonic and Camaro models. The root of the problem is a shorting bar in the inflator module of the steering-wheel-mounted airbag that may contact the primary state airbag terminal, a condition that could prevent deployment in an accident. Dealer technicians have been replacing the steering wheel airbag coils to fix the issue.
According to a post on NHTSA's website, the root cause, said to be a production issue, may not have been completely isolated - particularly for the second recall, which was for the Camaro. According to Automotive News, GM says it is cooperating with the government investigation, but won't say whether or not it knows the true origin of the problem.

2017 Buick Encore freshens up for the New York Auto Show

Thu, Feb 25 2016

Buick is dressing up the 2017 Encore for spring – specifically the New York Auto Show – where the compact crossover is expected to strut its stuff. The freshening follows the playbook of the Chevy Trax, which was also updated with a light hand. Though it keeps its familiar shape, sort of like an oversized Pontiac Vibe, the Encore gets Buick's new grille. It's a simple look with the wings bisecting the brand's tri-shield, and it calls to mind Buick's iconic front ends from yesteryear. You might remember it from the Avenir and Avista concepts. There are also new headlights. They look stolen from Audi, and it's an attention-getting gaze for the new face of the Encore. There will likely be new wheel packages, too. We can't see inside the Encore. Spy photographers couldn't get close enough to this Buick shoot in Southern California. But, we expect the interior to also mirror the Trax enhancements, which included a new instrument panel, gauges, materials, and infotainment. The Encore shares underpinnings with the Trax and Opel Mokka. We expect the Encore to arrive in late summer.
