1992 Buick Riviera -- Description

You are viewing a gorgeous 92 Riviera which was purchased new about 50 miles from my location, at a Buick dealer in Indiana PA. It changed several hands in the last couple years but as the story was told to me, the original owner was an older lady who drove it on a limited basis. Eventually it was sold to an elderly gentleman who had a difficult time getting in and out. He owned it for a short time, and then sold it this year to another elderly gentleman from my home area, who then sold it to me because he lost his storage. I buy and sell a few cars every year for fun but I am not a dealer. This Riviera is inspected through July 2017 and only has 33,650 original miles. The title is "exempt" from mileage disclosure but there is no doubt this mileage is original. The car was treated with Ziebart when new so it has a good layer of protection from rust underneath, as well as under the hood. Unfortunately this is a tar-like treatment so the areas surrounding the engine under the hood appear dirty but they really aren't. The tires are brand new and all 4 match. The A/C blows cold and was converted at one point to the newer R-134 refrigerant. I believe the exhaust and suspension are original. Still runs and drives beautifully. Engine and transmission operate smoothly. All power equipment still works, including even the antenna. The interior still smells new and was obviously never smoked in. No rips or tears in the seats or carpets. Headliner is like perfect. No cracks in the dash or armrests. It has electronic climate control, dual vanity mirrors, leather interior, power drivers seat, cassette player, cruise, tilt, power windows, mirrors, locks, etc, as well as automatic leveling rear suspension (air shocks). Also has electroluminescent opera lamps on the rear pillars which still glow beautifully (these came from the factory powered by a 110V inverter, which gives it a crisp white glow). No troubles with the dash board cluster either. The Sapphire Blue Firemist paint is gorgeous and original. No fading of any kind. Chrome is excellent. I noticed a few minor scratches on the rear bumper (between the bumperettes) and about a 2 inch light scratch on the left rear quarter panel. There are no significant dings to speak of, but there is a small, slight dimple on the top right front fender and one near the drivers door handle. You have to look really close for these things to notice them. There is also a hairline crack about 1 inch long on the right front bumper filler. Again, you have to look very close to see these things....I am really picking the car apart at the risk of making it sound worse than it is. Overall the exterior is in amazing condition. No doubt this car was always garage kept. Underbody is solid with only minimal surface scale. The underneath of the doors and trunk lid are rust-free. Overall, this Riviera is in beautiful condition and is evident of the care it's received. No disappointments with this beauty. I get a lot of compliments on it. This is a collectible car and is very nice to drive. To my knowledge, it should need nothing! I think you could drive this car just about anywhere.
