All original 1983 Buick Riviera 2 door Luxury Coupe. This very highly optioned vehicle has been in my family since new. Very low original mileage of only 44,422. Loaded with factory options such as climate control, power seats, power windows and locks, power antenna(currently not working), tungsten halogen headlights and so much more. This car was purchased new by my grandparents at Vern Eide Buick in Sioux Falls, SD. My dad currently owns it and I am assisting him in selling it. Car is extremely clean and has always been garaged and covered since new. The car is nearly 100% original except for the passenger front fender that was replaced about 10 years ago when the original front tire came apart and damaged it. It was repaired by the Buick dealership and there are no signs of the damage whatsoever. Also, the Riviera emblem on the hood was stolen about 20 years ago and an original replacement was never found. The one on there now is not original to the car. The factory exhaust has been replaced as well.
The car is in excellant shape overall and runs and drives superbly. The color is an upgraded special option code D83 and is called Firemist. The paint and body are very nice but do show some minor wear such as a few scratches and nics and two dings on the hood. The plastic filler panels behind the front and rear bumpers have cracked(see pics). The wire wheel hubcaps are in excellant condition and even come with the original locking tool for the hubcaps. The tires are all in great shape. The interior shows very little sign of wear with the exception of the headliner which is starting to sag in a few spots(see pics). The seats and carpet are near perfect and there are no smells or odors in the car. Original floor mats also show very little wear. Dash is perfect with no cracks or waves at all. All factory options work as they should with the exception of the power antenna. The engine is very clean and detailed and runs very smoothly. The transmission shifts smoothly but does seem to drip a little fluid when sitting. I have all the original paperwork, books, original window sticker and even the Bose cassette tapes that came with the car. This is a very nice example of one the classic, iconic cars of the 80's and is probably one of the few remaining with these low miles and that is in this good of shape. This car cost over $19,000 in 1983!
Car is for sale locally so I reserve the right to end the auction early. Serious buyers can call my father Kim directly at 864-915-6356. Or you can email me through Ebay and will I do my best to answer your questions. I have done my best to describe this car as accurately and honestly as possible and have taken a bunch of photos so please look them over carefully. Here is a link to my photobucket with lots of detailed photos.
Please ask any question before bidding and pre bidding inspections are welcomed and recommended. I will make not make any concessions for anything inadvertently left out of the description. With that said, I truly believe that the new owner of this car will not be disappointed. Thanks for looking!

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.
Jay Leno finds no detail neglected on Icon's Derelict 1948 Buick Super
Wed, Apr 1 2015Jonathan Ward seems to have one of the greatest jobs in the world. As the CEO at Icon, he's in charge of not only the company's fantastic trucks but its Derelict series of semi-restored classics, as well. Ward's vehicles are no strangers to Jay Leno's Garage, but the latest guest on the show might be one of Icon's coolest yet. What looks like a 1948 Buick Super Convertible on the outside hides the supercharged heart of a Corvette ZR1 underneath. Like the rest of the Derelict series, this old Buick's toasted paint and pitted chrome are all part of the charm of the car, and it's really a case of beauty being more than skin deep. The Super rides on a custom chassis and suspension to make the convertible a far better driver than even a pristine original example. Plus, Ward hides all sorts of modern upgrades inside that are practically invisible until he points them out. Leno absolutely falls in love with driving the Derelict Buick. If his enthusiasm grabs you, the video below from Ward goes much deeper into the build process of this awesome project.
Next-gen LaCrosse, Cascada convertible coming to Buick showrooms in 2016
Wed, 23 Jul 2014It's difficult to overstate how significant the post-bankruptcy years have been for General Motors' Buick brand. Arguably the most improved American automaker, Buick has rounded out its range with an excellent compact in the Verano, a well-balanced midsizer in the Regal and a segment-busting mini-CUV, with the Encore.
Seeking to keep that momentum going, the next several years will see the brand address a trio of its most obvious issues. First and foremost will be a replacement for the aging LaCrosse, a vehicle whose only bit of attention since its 2009 debut was a very light refresh in 2013.
According to Automotive News, we should expect the next-generation LaCrosse to arrive late next year or early in 2016, as a 2016 model. AN expects big design changes, as Buick attempts to further the LaCrosse from its popular platform-mate, the Chevrolet Impala. The changes won't be so radical, though, as to do away with its front-drive architecture, as the latest version of the Epsilon platform will underpin the next LaCrosse. The 3.6-liter V6 is likely to carry on, although a smaller, budget-minded offering is also extremely likely (we'll eat our hat if it's not the 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder from the Regal, Verano and Cadillac CTS et al.).
