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.

2019 Buick Regal TourX sells better than expected, has brand's wealthiest buyers

Wed, Jun 5 2019

Being a wagon fan in America is tough, since it seems everyone prefers the higher ride heights and SUV looks of crossovers. But today we have some good news for wagon fans via Buick. Apparently the 2019 Buick Regal TourX is popular with well-heeled buyers, and it's been selling quite a bit better than Buick expected. A representative from Buick revealed that Regal TourX buyers have the highest average income of any of the brand's products. He even noted that TourX buyers' average income is higher than the Buick Enclave Avenir, the extra-plush variant of the three-row crossover and the most expensive vehicle in Buick's lineup. To put the price difference into perspective, the most expensive Regal TourX starts at $35,995, while the Enclave Avenir starts at $54,695. Besides selling to people of some means, the Regal TourX has proven to be more popular than Buick expected. Buick's representative said that initial estimates were that the wagon would make up about 25% of sales, but it's actually making up about 40% right now. Buick has sold 3,408 Regals in total this year, so that means about 1,400 of them were TourX wagons. That number doesn't quite translate over all of 2018 since the TourX was released a little later and the supply was still ramping up through the year. As such sales were closer to 3,000 out of a little over 14,000 for the whole year, or somewhere above 20%. But the increased percentage from the model's release is still impressive. Granted, sales still favor crossovers. Buick's least popular crossover, the Envision, sold about twice as many units as all Regals last quarter. Yet, we count this as good news on the wagon front. Better still, the TourX's top rival, the Subaru Outback, has moved 76,000 units so far this year. Times may be tough for the wagon fan, but there are still some small wins to celebrate. UPDATE: The estimate of Regal TourX numbers for 2018 was higher than actual sales as the TourX was launched later than all Regal models, and the supply wasn't up to full steam for the whole year. The corrected number is now in the text. Related Video:

Restyled 2014 Buick Regal adds AWD, Regal GS loses power

Tue, 26 Mar 2013

Although the current Buick Regal hasn't even been on the market for very long, General Motors is using the New York Auto Show to unveil an updated version of the sedan in a similar fashion to what we saw yesterday with the 2014 LaCrosse. Like the LaCrosse, all 2014 Regal models will be getting a new look both for the exterior and interior design, but the big news takes place under the sedan's skin.
Except for the base Regal eAssist, the Regal Turbo and Regal GS will both be adding the benefit of all-wheel drive, but there is no word as to how much weight this system will add to each car's curb weight. The Regal Turbo's 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder has received a decent bump in output from 220 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque to 259 hp and 295 lb-ft; unfortunately, these same figures are carried over to the Regal GS, which means that car drops from 270 hp. Both turbocharged models (Regal Turbo and Regal GS) will now be offered with all-wheel drive and the ability of sending more than 90 percent of the engine's torque to the rear wheels.
In terms of styling, the 2014 Regal gets similar styling changes found on the updated Enclave and LaCrosse, including reworked fascias, scalloped headlights and a full-width chrome strip spanning between the new LED taillights. Inside, key changes were made to the Regal's cabin technology, such as the instrument gauge cluster and infotainment system. On the Regal and Regal Turbo, a new 4.2-inch color display is available for drivers to see information for the vehicle, navigation and audio systems, but the Regal GS' cabin is slightly different with an eight-inch configurable gauge display. One of the best changes may be the overall reduction in buttons on the center stack, creating a cleaner-looking and easier-to-use cabin.
