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.

2019 Buick Envision starts just under $33,000

Mon, Feb 26 2018

Buick has announced that prices for its new 2019 Envision will start at $33,985 (including destination), positioning the refreshed compact SUV right between its best-selling Encore entry-level crossover and more upmarket Enclave and taking aim at competitors including the Lincoln MKC and Acura RDX. The Envision will be offered in five trim levels — Envision, Preferred, Essence, Premium and Premium II, which starts at $45,590 — when the crossover goes on sale this spring. Prices exclude tax, title, license, dealer fees and optional equipment. We told you recently about the optional new nine-speed Hydra-Matic 9T50 automatic transmission and 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder on the top two trim levels. The upgraded engine offers 252 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque. The standard setup remains the 197-hp 2.5-liter inline four-cylinder engine making 147 lb-ft of torque and mated to a six-speed automatic, offered in front- or all-wheel drive. The crossover gets a new winged Buick emblem on the grille, new headlamps and newly sculpted front and rear facias, plus optional 19-inch wheels. It also gets a Buick-first tire-fill alert that signals when a tire has reached the recommended pressure level. Standard technology features include an in-vehicle air ionizer to eliminate odors, a switch to turn off its fuel-saving engine stop feature, rear-park assist, an 8-inch diagonal infotainment system and 4G LTE WiFi hotspot. By dropping the starting MSRP by nearly $1,000, GM says the Envision is now better positioned against its top-selling Encore (starting MSRP $22,990), for which nearly 60 percent of buyers come from outside the automaker's stable of brands.

GM re-recalls 11k SUVs

Tue, Oct 13 2015

General Motors is recalling a bunch of previously recalled SUVs because, well, they still aren't quite fixed. The latest repairs are necessary on 10,974 SUVs in North America, including 9,932 in only the US. Affected models include the 2006-2007 Buick Rainier, Chevrolet Trailblazer, and GMC Envoy; plus the 2006 Trailblazer EXT and Envoy XL. While not listed by NHTSA, a statement by GM to Autoblog says the 2006-2007 Saab 9-7X and Isuzu Ascender are also affected. In these SUVs, it's possible that liquid could get into the driver's door master power window switch module and cause a short circuit. This could potentially lead to a fire, and owners are urged to park the vehicles outside until repaired. GM has been trying to fix this issue for years. It started as an investigation into fires, and that led to a recall for about 250,000 vehicles in cold-weather states. A nationwide campaign came in 2013 for 193,000 of them in the US. Last year, the automaker decided to replace the whole module as a repair. However in a recent investigation of these recalls, GM discovered that this latest group of SUVs never received the new part. According to documents submitted to NHTSA (as a PDF), "Some dealers incorrectly used the labor code associated with module replacement when, instead of replacing the module, they only added a protective coating to the module." To fix things this time, the models finally get the correct component. Related Video: GM Statement General Motors is recalling 9,932 older midsize SUVs in the U.S. because they were mistakenly excluded from an earlier recall. Certain 2006 Chevrolet TrailBlazer EXT and GMC Envoy XL, and 2006-2007 TrailBlazer, Envoy, Buick Rainier, Saab 9-7X and Isuzu Ascender vehicles may continue to have a condition in which the printed circuit board inside the driver's door may corrode and short if exposed to certain fluids such as melted snow containing road salt. GM is aware of four fires but no crashes, injuries or fatalities associated with the expanded recall. The total number of vehicles being recalled, including Canada, Mexico and exports is 10.974. Customers are urged to park these vehicles outside until repairs have been made. GM reported this recall to the NHTSA on September 23.
