Here you have probably the nicest original low mileage Riviera Convertible you will ever see for sale. The car was purchased new on 9/23/1982 and always garaged originally at his home in Kingwood ,Texas and later at his Reno ,Nevada home. Please note the underside pictures-absolutely zero rust. It is all original with no accidents and a clean Carfax Report. It was owned by one mature and careful owner until 8/19/2013 when it was sold to a Classic Car Dealer in Southern California where I purchased the car about one month ago. I'm 71 yrs old and bought the car because it was so nice and I thought my wife would love it. Well she doesn't and since I don't go anywhere without her there is no sense in keeping it. I have over $20,000 invested but will take less for a quick sale. If it doesn't sell I will just keep it until next summer and relist or sell locally.
These Riviera Convertibles are very desirable and increasingly collectible particularly in this condition with extremely low miles. A total of only 3898 were produced from 1982 thru 1985 and only about 30% were Firemist Red while the rest were White which adds to the rarity of this car. The 1982 models are considered most collectible because it was the only year they had the hand sewn " Moroccan Leather " interior in Maple reminiscent of convertbles of the past. The later models used the standard factory interior that was also used in the coupe's.
This car starts , runs and drives like new. I don't believe you will find a finer example and with only 17,250 miles from new its about as new as you will ever find in a 32 yr old car. The tires , belts and all hoses were replaced about 2000 miles ago so the car can be driven any distance reliably. I welcome your personal inspections prior to bidding. Thanks and good luck.

J.D. Power customer survey of dealers counts Cadillac, Buick as big winners
Mon, 14 Apr 2014Cadillac and Buick have taken the trophies in J.D. Power's latest Customer Service Index Study examining satisfaction with dealer service. Surveying more than 90,000 owners and lessees of 2009-2013 model-year cars, the study found that those with pre-paid maintenance packages were ten percent more likely to buy their next car from the same brand.
Dealer satisfaction scores have improved overall, Cadillac nabbed the luxury segment ahead of Audi and Lexus, taking the crown that Lexus held last year. Buick keeps the mass-market dealer satisfaction win in the family, finishing ahead of Volkswagen and last year's winner GMC. The study also found that service department use of tablets increased customer satisfaction, as did "best practices" like "providing helpful advice." Who knew?
You can find details on those and more findings in the press release below.
GM recalling 1.4 million older vehicles for oil leak fire risk
Tue, Oct 27 2015General Motors is recalling 1,411,332 older vehicles with its 3.8-liter V6 yet again due to a fire risk. Specifically, there are 1,283,340 of them in the US, and the affected models are the: 1997-2004 Pontiac Grand Prix 2000-2004 Chevrolet Impala 1998-1999 Chevrolet Lumina 1998-2004 Chevrolet Monte Carlo 1998-1999 Oldsmobile Intrigue 1997- 2004 Buick Regal The fault with these vehicles is that oil can drip onto the hot exhaust manifold during hard braking, which can potentially cause of fire. In the last six years, there have 19 reported minor injuries from this problem but no crashes or fatalities, according to the company. Spokesperson Alan Adler also told Autoblog: "GM has reports of 1,345 fires in vehicles that were repaired under two previous recalls for this issue." At this time, GM is still developing a remedy for the problem. According to Adler, the company advised owners to park these vehicles outside for the previous recalls. "The cars can be safely driven. In cases where a customer reported an engine fire while driving, smoke was reported, which would be an indication of a malfunction," he said. This is GM's fourth recall for this problem since 2008, according to The Detroit News. At one point it was believed that aging valve cover gaskets allowed the oil to leak out and drip onto the manifold. A campaign in 2009 covered nearly 1.5 million of these models through the 2003 model year for the same issue. At the time, dealers installed new spark plug wire retainers as a fix.

GM is working on a remedy. The company is aware of post-repair fires in some vehicles but no crashes or fatalities. There have been 19 reported minor injuries over the last six years.

Updated Buick LaCrosse, Regal to debut at New York Auto Show
Tue, 26 Feb 2013Judging by the spy shots we saw last week for the 2014 Buick LaCrosse and 2014 Buick Regal, we knew it wouldn't be much longer until we saw both sedans receive a grand debut. Today, Buick confirmed to Autoblog both cars will be introduced at the New York Auto Show next month, but no further information has yet been released about either model.
Having been on the market for an extra couple years, the changes to the LaCrosse appear to be more significant than those coming for the Regal, but both will be getting refreshed exterior designs as well as updated interiors. The Regal's new face brings it more in line with the all-new Encore and the restyled Enclave, while the LaCrosse should get a more distinctive, upscale appearance.
Both cars will be introduced exactly a month from today, and we'll be there to bring you all the coverage.
