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.

 Please email me or call/text me at 440-339-4341 with any questions.

Buick mulling more powerful Encore; diesel too

Mon, 21 Oct 2013

Looking to set itself apart in the mid-luxury segment, Buick is looking to introduce a diesel engine somewhere in its US lineup. And according to Edmunds, the two best chances of a diesel Buick rest with the Encore and Verano.
In both our First Drive and Review of the 2013 Encore, our chief complaint about the compact crossover was the the lack of power from the 138-horsepower turbo engine. Edmunds says that the recently introduced 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine (with both gas and diesel variants) from the Encore's overseas cousin, the Opel Mokka, could make its way into the Encore delivering the much-needed boost in power.
Then there's the Verano. As a close relative to the Chevy Cruze, which just added a diesel engine for 2014, the article speculates that a Verano Diesel might actually be the more "probably candidate" if and when Buick decides to add a diesel model to its portfolio. Either way, offering such an engine in one of its products could be a great way for Buick to differentiate itself from Cadillac and possibly even attract buyers from Volkswagen, Audi and Mercedes-Benz looking for a luxurious, fuel-efficient vehicle.

Buick Regal GS and troupe of basketball dribblers make great beats

Wed, 02 Apr 2014

The 166 videos posted by YouTube music video maestro Kurt Hugo Schneider have been watched almost half a billion times. When Coke wanted to do something musically inclined and a little different, it called KHS, and the result was the video Little Talks.
Buick appears to be the next blue chip in line, and KHS' melodic celebration of the 259-horsepower Regal GS is called Epic Basketball + Car Beat. In it, a red Regal sits at center court in Venice Beach, California while a cast of ridiculous dribblers make music with and around the sedan.
We'll let the music speak for itself, which it does quite well in the video below.

2014 Buick LaCrosse steps up to the big leagues with plenty of luxury

Wed, 27 Mar 2013

Following the introduction of the updated 2014 Buick LaCrosse and Regal, the oldest vehicle in Buick's lineup will be the Verano, which was just introduced last year. Having such a fresh product mix bodes well for Buick as it tries to create a new image in the US, and after checking out the amount of luxury being stuffed into the new LaCrosse for 2014, GM's awkwardly positioned brand may finally have the ability to stand out.
Granted, the model unveiled was the all-new, top-of-the-line Ultra Luxury Interior Package, but this package brings top-notch leather and soft suede covering everything above the beltline as well as real ash wood accent trim throughout the cabin. While there was no mention of price, we don't expect this model to come cheap in terms of what we expect from Buick, although it will likely be competitively priced with similarly equipped rivals like the Acura TL or Lexus ES. Adding even more to the LaCrosse's interior, dual eight-inch displays make up the gauge cluster and center stack, and the number of buttons on the center stack have been greatly reduced, creating a cleaner look for the instrument panel.
Another big change is the next-generation of Buick's IntelliLink infotainment system that brings with it all of the recent enhancements of the Cadillac CUE and Chevrolet MyLink systems. Differentiating itself from other GM infotainment systems, the new Buick IntelliLink stands out by allowing users to customize the apps they can add and not just being limited to what GM sees fit.
