This front wheel drive personal luxury car features a smooth running Oldsmobile 307 V8 engine and a smooth-shifting automatic transmission.  It has both power steering and power breaks, all which function as if new.  You aren't going to have any mechanical problems with this baby, this Riviera starts up right away without hesitation and runs great every time - in fact, the engine is extremely quiet, and the ride of the car smooth and luxurious as well - just as you should expect from a classic Buick.  The suspension is soft, and the ride quality unsurpassed.  The transmission shifts smoothly and never slips.  The engine does not smoke, there are no leaks of any fluids.  I promise you will be impressed with the condition and reliability of the power-train.  No need for an engine rebuild - just drive this car directly to the car show, or make it your daily driver.

The body of the car is in very good condition, originally a North Carolina car, and garage kept, this car does not know the snow and ice of winter, the under-body is rust-free.  You will not find any rust holes, rot, or anything of the sort underneath this car.  It is my understanding that this car was garage kept, and as you can see from the pictures, it is in great shape for its age.  There are no dents or dings anywhere on the car, the chrome is all there and in great condition, there are no chips or scratches on the windshield or any of the other glass windows.  Overall the paint is in great shape as well, there is no sun-fading or other discoloration, and the baby-blue exterior paired with the white vinyl top (also in great condition) makes for a fantastic and classic look that turns heads everywhere I go.  The Chrome wheels are also in great shape, and the tires are fairly new as well and are not in need of replacement.  The breaks work very well, the suspension is in great shape and makes for an extremely smooth ride quality only a Buick can give you.  This Riviera also has a self-leveling trunk feature, which automatically adjusts the ride height as weight is added to, or removed from the trunk of the vehicle

Inside, the car is nearly perfect, with the only exception being the most common - the headliner is drooping a bit, and has been pinned back up.  Everything else is, however, in near perfect shape, no rips, no tears, no stains on any of the seats or other fabric upholstery.  The plush blue interior looks and feels like new, the wood-grain dash is also beautiful and in great shape, there are no scratches or cracks or other damage to any of it.  The rest of the blue vinyl dash is likewise in great shape, no fading or cracking of any sort.  All of the chrome knobs in the interior of the vehicle are there and in great shape.  The radio works without problem, and even has the optional auto-reverse cassette player in addition to the AM/FM radio, and all of the speakers work as if new, the sound quality is great, and it even has controls to adjust the levels to the front/back speakers, as well as a trebel/bass control.  The car has climate control air-conditioning which also works without hesitation, the heat comes out nice and hot, all of the fans work great.  The carpeting in the car is also without flaws, the floors are solid, the door panels are without damage, the steering wheel looks great as well.    All of the power options work perfectly.  The rear window defroster works great as well.  There is a glove box with the original owners manual inside it, and a small storage compartment between the front seats for additional convenience.  The car has more ash trays and cigarette lighters than you'll know what to do with, literally one for every passenger - this car, however, has never been smoked in- it smells as clean as it looks. This Riviera also has all of the power options, including 8-way power seats (both driver and passenger sides), power windows, power door-locks, cruise control, rear window defroster, auto-delay windshield wipers, light sentinel, and even cornering lights.  Inside the trunk you will find a spare tire and the jack.  Also included are the original floor mats (both front and rear).

 All in all, you are bidding on a 1981 Buick Riviera personal luxury coupe with real V8 power, and front wheel drive that can handle winter driving conditions if you need to.  Overall, this car is in great condition, the only flaws are the headliner- as described above- and a couple tiny spots around the base of the vinyl roof where there is a small amount of surface rust - but it is very minor as you can see from the pictures.  The car is complete (not missing any parts) and always given regular oil changes and maintenance.  You will not find a better 81 Riviera at this price.

The car is located on Harsens Island in Michigan, feel free to come see and drive it for yourself before bidding if you wish.  You can contact me at (862)-228-4480, call or text me anytime, my name is Steve, and I'd be happy to answer any questions you have about the car, or to provide you with more photographs or information at your request.  I am happy to sell Internationally, and am located a very short distance from Port Huron from which the car could be shipped anywhere in the world.  I would also be  happy to personally deliver the vehicle to you for the cost of gas, as I have complete confidence that this car could be driven across the country if you wanted to.

PLEASE DO NOT BID IF YOU DO NOT PLAN TO BUY.  BUYER MUST CONTACT ME WITHIN 24 HOURS OF AUCTION END TO ARRANGE FOR PICK-UP OR SHIPPING.  I AM WILLING TO ACCEPT CASH, CASHIER'S CHECK, PERSONAL CHECKS (once cleared), AS PAYMENT, BUT I DO NOT ACCEPT PAY-PAL AS THERE ARE TO MANY INTERNET SCAMS OPERATING THROUGH IT - DON'T EVEN ASK ME - other than that, I am very accommodating, and am willing to work with you to help and assist you in any way I can - just call me and we can work something out.

2016 Buick Regal prices slashed

Tue, Aug 4 2015

The Buick Regal is getting an aggressive price cut for the 2016 model year to keep pace in a crossover-centric world and its own hyper-competitive midsize sedan segment. The 2016 Buick Regal GS now starts at $35,915, after a $925 destination charge, which amounts to a $3,320 price cut compared to 2015. There's no de-contenting associated with the cost decreases either, and the vehicles are now available with Apple CarPlay. The lower prices follow through much of the lineup. The 1SP Premium model sees a $2,535 savings at $33,415 after destination; the 1SL trim falls $1,000 to $30,840; and the 1SV maintains at $28,915. The decision to make these cuts is meant to better position the midsize sedan against its rivals. "We know consumer sentiment towards sedans has decreased," Buick spokesperson Nick Richards said to Autoblog. CUVs like the company's own Encore are where buyers are moving. "Repositioning the Regal to more aggressively compete in the midsize sedan segment is the first of many steps we are taking in advance of next year's product offensive," Buick sales vice president Duncan Aldred said in a letter to dealers, according to USA Today. The decision probably couldn't have come at a better time because the Regal has suffered so far in 2015. Through July, the company has delivered 10,928 of them, down a significant 19.3 percent from the same period last year. A recent study also found that the model was among the most likely in the US to be sold after just one year of ownership.

Black Friday could power record November sales

Thu, Nov 26 2015

Black Friday allows some shoppers to line up in the wee hours for doorbuster deals on laptops and TVs, but the day after Thanksgiving could mean huge profits for automakers this year, too. Multiple industry analysts predict record growth for the industry for November, and the upcoming incentives could help those numbers. TrueCar predicts that Black Friday incentives could provide a major boost, and it estimates a November sales jump of 3.9 percent from last year to a record for the month at over 1.35 million vehicles. As examples of potential deals, Chevrolet, Buick, and GMC plan to offer up to 20 percent off some models, and FCA US has no-interest financing for up to 75 months from its brands. "Consumers are excited about Black Friday promotions and these month-long events appear to be resonating with car buyers." Eric Lyman, TrueCar's vice president of industry insights, said in the report. Black Friday only recently became a big day for auto sales, according to an analysis from Edmunds. Last year, Thanksgiving weekend posted double the sales as any other weekend in the month. The company predicts a sales volume of over 1.33 million vehicles for November. If that happens, it would be the beat the previous record of 1.32 million sales for the same month in 2001. Some forecasts temper the gains for November but only slightly. Kelley Blue Book predicts flat year-over-year sales at 1.3 million vehicles, but that's largely because there are two fewer sales days in 2015 versus in 2014. "Black Friday deals on vehicles have grown in popularity in recent years, and should be a big contributor to this month's sales results," said analyst Tim Fleming in the study. The combined research from J.D. Power and LMC Automotive have the lowest November prediction among this group at just over 1.279 million sales for the month versus 1.299 million in 2014. However, once the researchers adjust the figures for the two fewer selling days, 2015 could actually be seven percent higher than last year. TrueCar Finds New Auto Sales in November to Reach Monthly Record Black Friday promotions bolster sales gains; industrywide incentives up 6% from last year November 24, 2015 12:11 PM Eastern Standard Time SANTA MONICA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--TrueCar, Inc. (NASDAQ: TRUE) projects total new vehicle sales, including fleet deliveries, will reach 1,352,500 units in November, a 3.9 percent increase from a year ago and the highest ever for the month.

Buick: Odell Beckham Jr.

Mon, Feb 8 2016

An Opel droptop in Buick drag crashes a wedding. No one's quite sure who made the Cascada, but Emily Ratajkowski definitely got the bouquet. She channels Odell Beckham Jr., laying out to make the catch – and conveniently Beckham is actually there to jokingly shoot her down. Did Buick nail this one, or was it (as Beckham quips) "out of bounds?" Let us know.
