1998 Buick Riviera, Only 19,834 Miles, Pristine, Supercharged, Greg Norman Demo on 2040-cars
Willoughby, Ohio, United States
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:
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. Please email me or call/text me at 440-339-4341 with any questions. |

2017 Buick LaCrosse an evolution of sharp Avenir concept
Wed, Nov 18 2015After years as a bloated, uninspiring, but comfortable near-premium sedan, Buick has taken the wraps off a leaner, lither, far more stylish LaCrosse. The third-generation model has just made its debut at the 2015 Los Angeles Motor Show. While there's a lot to talk about, let's first address the new, Avenir-inspired sheetmetal. The fascia is basically the concept car smoothed over into production form, featuring the same winged trishield. In place of the chrome-trimmed waterfall, the LaCrosse gets a blacked-out, recessed grille with a chrome surround. It looks good in photos but it's better in person, adding a real sense of complexity and depth to the front end. The headlights and lower fascia, meanwhile, adhere closely to the concept. The same cannot be said of the LaCrosse's tail. While the taillight lighting pattern is similar, the overall shape of the lighting element is radically different, refining the design featured on the back of the Regal. Also gone, sadly, is the Avenir's boattail rear deck. Instead, the LaCrosse gets a small rear deck that curves up into a pleasant duckbill spoiler. The rest of the tail is pleasantly restrained. Perhaps the weakest point is the profile, where Buick has instituted a "split-spear" design, featuring a strong shoulder line above the rear wheel well, which sits below an even stronger character line that curves down and towards the front of the car. It strikes us as just a little too much, like the Impala. Underneath that sheetmetal, Buick has managed to trim nearly 300 pounds of body fat, nearly half of which came from the vehicle's actual structure. That 300 lbs, according to Buick's engineers, is equivalent to a Kenmore side-by-side refrigerator, in case you needed a helpful comparison. Despite the weight savings, Buick has upped the torsional rigidity for this new model by 15 percent. The LaCrosse's cabin features a strong, cockpit-like design, with a high, floating-bridge center console. This is possible due to Buick's adaption of the Electronic Precision Shift system, introduced earlier this month on the new Cadillac XT5. Despite the new-fangled console design, Buick's retained the wraparound cabin style introduced on the second-gen model. Based on a quick crawl around the interior, space is great in front, although ingress in back is somewhat difficult due to the roofline. You're probably wondering why we haven't said anything about the mechanicals just yet.
Buick teases the next-gen LaCrosse
Sat, Oct 31 2015Buick continues to play coy about the next-generation LaCrosse, but the latest teaser hints at a swoopy profile for the upcoming sedan. While mostly just a silhouette, the teaser does provide a glimpse of the flowing roof and upward crease around the rear fenders – especially handsome touches. The rest of the LaCrosse remains a mystery. The only other part that we've seen is the Avenir-inspired grille, which features a more angular surround and chrome wings jutting from emblem in the center. Styling aside, the brand claims that the sedan is now more engaging behind the wheel thanks to a stronger, lighter chassis and five-link rear suspension. Powertrain rumors are rather vague but suggest the 3.6-liter V6 will be available when the model arrives at dealers in 2016. One thing we know for certain about the LaCrosse is that it debuts at the Los Angeles Auto Show in November. That only leaves a few more weeks for Buick to keep this mystery going. Related Video:
Buick dusting off Grand National, GNX and T-Type nameplates
Mon, 26 Nov 2012Inside Line reports Buick is planning to bring back some of the more storied names from the company's past, including the Grand National, GNX and the T-Type. Those cars rose to prominence in the 1970s and '80s to become performance legends of their day.
The new models will reportedly make use of the rear-wheel drive platform that currently underpins the Cadillac ATS and all would arrive as sedans - according to an unnamed source familiar with the initiative. Odds are the T-Type and the Grand National would share a driveline, with honest money being on a new twin-turbocharged 3.6-liter V6 as the engine of choice. Word has it the mill will be good for anywhere from 350 to 400 horsepower.
That leaves only the GNX. Inside Line seems to think that machine could get down the road with some help from the all-new GM LT1 small-block V8. The engineers behind the ATS platform have already told us the engine bay is large enough for to accommodate the big eight pot, and since GM is most certainly working on an ATS-V, a slightly less powerful, less luxurious Buick iteration makes some kind of sense. We can't wait to see these things in the light of day.
