Here is a great car that is in excellent shape.It has had one recent professional repaint on a body that had NO rust or damage.The paint is slick and smooth- base coat/clear coat.The Buick spent most of it's life in a garage with a car cover on it and it shows.The interior is not faded anywhere nor are the plastic panels brittle in any way.The list of recent improvements is as follows.....New headliner with side panels,front and rear calipers,front and rear brakes including the rubber lines and rotors,130 amp alternater,timing chain kit,oil pan gasket,oil sending unit,water pump,all hoses and drive belt,driver's window motor,power antennae,factory rebuilt digital dash,transmission has been power flushed and a tranny cooler was installed,4 wheel alignment and recent tune-up including all filters,plugs and wires. THE CYLINDER HEADS WERE RECENTLY REMOVED--LAST MONTH-- AND A THREE ANGLE VALVE JOB WAS PERFORMED AT POWER-TECH MACHINE SHOP, ONE OF THE FINEST AROUND!!! THE HEADS WERE MILLED 20 THOUSANDTHS ,SO COMPRESSION WAS INCREASED FROM 8.5 FACTORY RATING TO 8.9 TO ONE----- THIS CAR IS REALLY POWERFULL.!!!!!!! ALL NEW SEALS AND FREEZE PLUGS.THE CYLINDER WALLS WERE WELL WITHIN SPECS, ALMOST NO WEAR AT ALL !!!!! I noticed a small anti-freeze leak around the intake when i fired it up for the spring so off with the heads!!! --- gasket deterioration. Now it runs better than it ever has. New front struts and rear load leveling air shocks.It has LEGAL 20% window tint all around.The man I purchased it from always used Mobile One synthetic oil in it and so have I.Now for the real goodies!!!!!!! It has Excalibur 20" wheels with LIKE NEW Toyo Pro XES4 - tires.size 225/35zr2090w-there is 90% tread remaining on them.This combo was over 2 grand. It rides really smooth and floats down the highway at 80 MPH with no problem at all.Shifts are smooth as silk and the legendary 3800 series 1 engine is quiet and powerfull. The sound system is VERY LOUD AND CLEAR,all professional equipment purchased and installed by a local stereo shop with no corners cut and all monster cables.Panasonic cq7413u CD player with remote and IPOD compatible-it's 50 watts X 4 by itself,with 2 Alpine 6x9-3 ways are in the rear package tray 2,Alpine 6& one half -two ways are hidden in the doors.Now for the real power-----a Kicker KX 350 x 2 amp is mounted on top of a Kicker boom box housing two Kicker 12" comp subs.The box carpet matches the trunk carpet---it looks great and sounds AWESOME!!!!!!! The clarity is amazing. The sound system was over 1.500 bucks.If you don"t like the 20's,I have a complete set of aluminum factory 16" Riviera wheels that came off a '95 and all the lug nuts--NO TIRES ON THESE WHEELS.So you have a choice in wheels.That's about all I can think of although I'm sure there are things I left out about the car.EVERYTHING WORKS as it should and the air conditioning will freeze you out. NO rattles,shakes or shimmies,air leaks nor anything else obsene.This is a wonderfull car that gets LOTS of attention everywhere I have taken it,even when you aren't shaking windows for three blocks with the stereo blasting .Gas mileage is over 32 on the highway and 26 plus in town.My reserve is well below the money tied up in the car,so bid with confidence.This would make a GREAT car for anyone.Feel free to call me @ 606-473-0320 if you have any questions,I'll be happy to answer them.My cell is 606-471-5283 but please try me at home first, I would be interested in a partial trade for a pre -1986 Celica or Supra GTS, automatic transmission only, hardtop in good condition. Not interested in convertibles. Buy something nice for yourself with that tax refund,this Riviera. It has been stored all winter and is ready for cruisin.Thanks for looking.

GM recalling 2013 Buick LaCrosse, Cadillac SRX over transmission software
Thu, 21 Mar 2013The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued recalls for the 2013 Buick LaCrosse and 2013 Cadillac SRX due to a problem with the software for the transmission controller. On about 27,000 SRX and LaCrosse models, the transmission could accidentally be shifted to Sport mode, which would reduce the amount of engine braking drivers experience.
NHTSA says this could increase the risk of a crash, but, fortunately, the required fix is simply an update to the software.
While we're on the subject of General Motors vehicle recalls, a small number (48) of compressed natural gas versions of the 2011 Chevrolet Express are also being recalled for a potential risk of fire or explosion. Yikes. Both official recall notices are posted below.
2013 Buick Enclave
Mon, 29 Oct 2012GM's Flagship Lambda Is (Still) A Smooth Operator
Consumers shopping for a domestic full-size crossover have heard all about GM's triplets. The Chevrolet Traverse, GMC Acadia and Buick Enclave are a very appealing and talented group of siblings. Entering their fifth year of production, albeit middle-age in the automotive industry, each is attractive, well-rounded and very capable on the paved dance floor. While all share nearly identical base DNA and the same basic running gear, subtle physical differences and unique personalities emerge between the trio when one digs a bit deeper.
The most polished of the threesome, without question, is the Enclave from Buick. Fresh off a mid-cycle update (as are its siblings), the flagship of the platform boasts a facelift, innovative new features and an upgraded demeanor for the new model year.
J.D. Power: Mini, Lexus again offer most satisfying sales experience
Thu, 29 Nov 2012JD Power has released its annual Sales Satisfaction Index Study, and once again Mini and Lexus have taken top honors. Overall, buyers are more satisfied with the auto-buying sales experience than they were last year, with those surveyed reporting an average score of 664 points on a 1,000-point scale. That's up from 648 in 2011. Dealer satisfaction also increased by five points over last year as well.
All told, Lexus brought home an index score of 737, which was high enough to put it atop the luxury brands for the second year in a row. JD Power says Infiniti came in second in that category with a score of 728 and Cadillac rounded out the podium with it's rating of 725. Speaking of Infiniti, that brand saw the single largest jump in sales satisfaction of any brand on the survey, popping up 52 index points over 2011.
Among mass-market brands, Mini ranked highest with a score of 712, followed closely by Buick with 706 and GMC farther down the line with 683. You can check out the full press release below for more information.
