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. |

2013 Buick Verano Turbo vs. 2013 Acura ILX 2.4
Tue, 12 Mar 2013Answering The $30,000 Entry-Level Luxury Question
Twenty years ago, a comparison between an entry-level Buick and Acura would have matched a Skylark against an Integra.
Twenty years ago, a comparison between an entry-level Buick and its Acura equivalent would have matched a Skylark against an Integra. The unfair battle would have resulted in the compact American's defeat in nearly every measurable category, as the Japanese competitor was arguably at the height of its powers.
1969 Buick Riviera is latest Hot Wheels Legends finalist
Mon, Aug 1 2022The Hot Wheels Legends Tour traveled to Southern California, one of the bastions of car culture in the United States, to find the next custom-built car that it will add to its catalog of scale models. The winner of the latest stop is a 1969 Buick Riviera turned into a head-turning lowrider. Owned by Mario and Nora Zamudio of Los Angeles, the big coupe is finished in a color called Pagan Gold and fitted with bright wire wheels. The husband-and-wife team spent four years working nights and weekends to build the Riviera. They removed the exterior trim pieces to achieve a cleaner look, spent a considerable amount of time detailing the engine bay and fitted a hydraulic suspension system. The interior received the custom treatment as well. Pagan Gold accents on the dashboard complement the exterior, there's an aftermarket steering wheel with three bright spokes, and the beige and brown upholstery finishes to the look. Readers familiar with Riviera models from the 1960s will notice that some of the switches aren't original; they're used to control the hydraulic suspension. Power for this Riviera comes from the original 430-cubic-inch (7.0-liter) V8, which was rated at 360 horsepower and 475 pound-feet of torque in 1969. It spins the rear wheels via a three-speed automatic transmission, and we bet it sounds excellent. One Buggy Mud Muncher Raptor View 13 Photos This eye-catching Riviera will move on to the semifinal round this fall, where it will compete against previous winners for the chance to get scaled down into a Hot Wheels model. The list of past winners is stunningly diverse: it includes a Volvo-powered 1968 Volkswagen Beetle, a kei truck turned into a monster truck, and a 1973 Toyota Celica powered by a General Motors-sourced V8 and nicknamed Tokyo Trans Am.

Buick Encore production increased to lift supply by 50%
Wed, Feb 4 2015Trying to zero in on the Buick Encore leads us to the conclusion that the only place it really fits is in buyers' driveways. Every member of its so-called competitive set – we've read everything from the Ford C-Max to the Nissan Juke to the Volkswagen Tiguan to the BMW X1 – is so different in small yet fundamental ways that the Encore neatly slinks between them all, and with 48,892 sales in 2014, it doesn't stop slinking until it reaches consumer garages. That success, and preparation for the aggrandizing of the compact CUV segment, is why General Motors is upping production for the US market by 50 percent. Analysts keep predicting there will be more shoppers for tiny crossovers, and that's why those that don't have them are getting them. Yet the Encore came out in 2013 before people realized the power of the segment, and it has substantially out-performed GM and observer expectations: analysts predicted 18,500 US sales in 2013 and 25,000 in 2015; in 2013 we wrote, "We admit it. We have no earthly idea how this whole thing is going to shake out." It shook out 31,046 sales in 2013, puffing that number up by more than 50 percent last year. GM thinks that this year it will it will go from Buick's third-best-selling vehicle to its best-selling vehicle. GM wants that to continue, what with the Honda HR-V, Jeep Renegade, and Mazda CX-3 on the way. Dealers say they'd sell more if they could get them, and the four-month lead time at the moment between a dealer ordering and taking delivery – about double the normal time – creates a handicap. Plants in Mexico, Korea, and Spain will hive off production to bolster US inventory to keep the "downsizing empty nesters" who love it, happy. Seeing as the coming competition is falls meaningfully outside the Buick's combination of traits, there's a chance its popular tale can continue.
