This is a NO RESERVE listing. 

This is likely the nicest Buick Riviera of this generation for sale in the country- you won't find another like it.  This car began life as PGA golfer Greg Norman's demo car for the 1998 World Series of Golf PGA Tour event at Firestone Country Club in Akron, OH.  This year Greg Norman was the defending champion for this event and he was given this Buick as his "demo" car.  Greg Norman had use of this car for the duration of the tournament and he put the first 350 or so miles on the car.  The car was then returned to the dealer, Lambert Buick, where it was sold retail in May of 1999.  The lady who bought the car has kept it ever since, only putting on 19,834 miles since new.  She is now 91 years old and has given up driving and that is the reason the car is for sale.  

The car has always had service and oil changes on time and all records come with the car.  

This car is all original, right down to the original tires with good tread remaining.  This car has always been garaged since new and has never been driven in the winter, so it has never seen salt or snow.   This car is in outstanding clean and original condition.  It is hard to differentiate the condition of this car from new.  This car is absolutely pristine and clean and it has zero rust.  

The car starts, runs and drives perfectly and it has no known mechanical issues or problems.  You could drive this car across the country if you like.   

The interior shows basically no wear.  The leather seats are perfect, the steering wheel is pristine and the carpets and upholstery are excellent and clean.  This interior still looks and smells new.  
 
The paint is original and the body is straight, clean and excellent.  The paint has just been waxed and the exterior condition of the car is superb.  This car has never been kept outside and it has been preserved very well from new.  There have been no known accidents.   

 This car has the following equipment and options:
  • 3.8L 240HP Supercharged 3800 V6 engine
  • automatic transmission
  • power leather seats
  • chrome wheels
  • AM/FM cassette and CD player
  • dual-zone climate control with A/C (blows cold)
  • ABS brakes and traction control
The original books and manuals come with the car along with two sets of keys.

This is truly a "time capsule" example of the last generation Buick Riviera.  These cars are increasingly difficult to find in good condition, and far harder to find in pristine condition like this one with less than 20,000 miles since new.  

This is a 16 year old car, not a brand new car. And although it is in superb condition for the miles and age, this car does have a few minor faults: There are holes in the front bumper for the front license plate bracket (included). The power antenna goes up but doesn't come all the way down- it is slightly bent. There are some very minor scrapes on the front and rear bumpers and a few tiny dings on the sides. There is extremely minor normal wear and tear on the car consistent with the mileage.  

This is almost certainly the cleanest, best-condition Riviera for sale in the USA.  I don't know where else you could find one in this sort of condition.  This car could easily belong in an automotive museum or a private collection of pristine low-mileage cars.  

This car is kept in my storage garage in Willoughby, OH. Please contact Angels Moving Autos at 530-245-0481 for a shipping quote.

2015 Buick Verano gets styling tweak, loses 6-speed manual

Fri, 06 Jun 2014

Well, all good things must come to an end. For 2015, the Buick Verano's experiment with a manual transmission will cease, as the American manufacturer has announced it will discontinue the 6MT in the turbocharged version of its compact sedan. According to Buick, the take rate on the Verano Turbo 6MT was (unsurprisingly) low, leading to its discontinuation.
That's not the only bit of news for the Verano, though. After a few years on the market, Buick has seen fit to refresh the popular sedan. The visual changes aren't huge, really, with subtle tweaks to the headlights and taillights. We'd bargain that the average passer-by wouldn't notice a difference between the two.
The main aesthetic change is a new appearance package, available on the mid-range Convenience and Leather option groups. Unimaginatively called just that - Appearance Package - it offers up a new paint color, Desert Dusk Metallic, as well as a grille treatment and a rear spoiler. The new package is, however, limited to naturally aspirated models.

GM recalling nearly 4,000 vehicles over airbag concerns

Thu, 31 Jan 2013

Four different General Motors vehicles from the 2012 model year are being recalled over a potential airbag issue. The driver's side airbag shorting bar in the 2012 Buick Verano and 2012 Chevrolet Camaro, Cruze and Sonic might make contact with the airbag terminals, even during a crash. If so, the airbag won't deploy when it should, possibly increasing injury to the driver.
The recall is expected to begin on February 13 for the 3,896 units that might be affected. GM will notify owners who can then take their vehicles to dealers to have the airbag coil replaced. A bulletin from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration below has more info.

Thanks for keeping us on our toes, Detroit Auto Show [w/poll]

Wed, Jan 14 2015

Here at Autoblog, we love unexpected debuts at auto shows – and judging by our Detroit Auto Show comments and traffic, you do, too. Surprise reveals have been fewer and farther between in recent years with so many ways for vehicles to be teased or leak out, but this week's show has been a revelation. More to the point, it's been a series of revelations, with automakers from around the globe successfully delivering a brace of concept and production surprises. It's made our jobs a lot more exciting and challenging this week, and even though it's actually more work to react and run-and-gun when the sheet is pulled on a surprise reveal than it is to publish an already-written embargoed story, we've had more fun covering this show for you than any domestic show in memory. We hope you've enjoyed the surprises along with us. To that end, borrowing the words of an unnamed automaker PR flack, we'd like to thank the following automakers for enduring "mountain of antacids" and that "creeping sense of paranoia" necessary to keeping ones' wares totally under wraps until the sheets are pulled off the sheetmetal: Buick Avenir concept Chevrolet Bolt concept Ford GT concept Ford Mustang Shelby GT350R Ford F-150 SVT Raptor Hyundai HCD-15 Santa Cruz concept And while we're at it, we'd like to throw in an shout-out to Detroit's substantially revised and revitalized Cobo Center, and in particular, the redone Michelin media center, which is arguably the single best accommodations for writing show stories that we've encountered on the entire international circuit. Well done, everyone. Thank you, and keep the surprises coming. Auto News Detroit Auto Show Buick Chevrolet Ford Hyundai Volvo 2015 Detroit Auto Show
