I actually love this new series. You guys prove that you don't have to pay big money for a cool vehicle. Keep it going guys.

FYI, As a prior owner, the radio volume has the "tactile' feel because it's a motorized knob. When you use the steering wheel radio controls the volume knob actually moves. The headlight adj is for how long the lights stay on after you shut the car off not the sensitivity..on most GM cars it was called Twilight Sentinal

My Mom had a 96 Riviera my son bought from her in 2012 when he was working the oil fields in west Texas. He drove that car back and forth from San Antonio to Midland Texas which is 323 miles oneway for 5 years oil changes and shocks several times (west Texas roads rough to say the least) I'm sure that car had 350, 000 very rough miles before it gave up the ghost

My grandpa bought a year old 96 Riviera in that same interior and exterior color. He had just bought an electroplating machine and went crazy gold plating all the exterior trim bits.

He had a stroke in 1999 and after recovering, decided to buy a VW New Beetle, so my parents got the Riv. I took that car to my Senior Prom. It was a torque monster and I loves driving that big, floaty SOB.

Thanks for bring back some good memories!

My mom had a 95 Supercharged Riv that I took my license test in. I LOVE that car. It was just fast enough with just enough of a supercharger whine but it was also as comfortable as anything. And you're right those gauges are killer!

[johnshaw]

That car is way cool. Amazing design inside and out. The Riviera and the Oldsmobile Aurora were designs ahead of their time.

[DocZoidberg]

I had a customer with one with a burgundy exterior and tan interior. I loved that car, I tried to buy it seriously times. The 3800 was one of the best V6's GM ever made. I had several.

[JREwing]

Rivera = 2-door Oldsmobile Aurora, which is not damning with faint praise. The Olds' 4.0L V8 was smoother, but the blown 3.8 is more reliable. $3, 000 is not a terrible price, and maybe another $1000 to get it perfect. Not a bad deal at all.

[christopherdouglas]

These Buick Rivieras have NOTHING to do with the W body Monte Carlo at all. The G body was all-new in 95, and was shared with the then new Oldsmobile Aurora. Just setting the record straight. This is a great choice. I’d drive it in a minute. At the right speed, that supercharger whine will charm you over.

Tommy knows the market and the industry well. 5 years ago you were just thinking about being in videos, now dominating most channels. Amazing. Keep it up Tommy.

[rockozctd]

The G body is the Riviera, Aurora, Seville and Park Ave.The Monte Carlo is a W body.

I bought a 1995 Riviera from the orignal owner. It had every option available. The color was Adriatic Blue which is the color of the one you are auctioning . The build date was August 4, 1994. There was no 1994 Riviera as it was introduced for 1995. It was one of the best cars i have ever owned.

[reallyemptypockets]

I had a 98 Riv with 38k miles, most comfortable car I have ever owned. When I sold it in the Rocky Mountain news want ads, remember those, I had 24 voicemails in the first 3 hours.

[calbob]

Owned a 95 Riv. Good highway cruiser. 30 mpg hiway. Huge trunk.

[grunkohlaktionar]

The 90s were the best time for car enthusiasts. You had the choice between everything you can dream of. Every car company offered nearly every type of car

[majorcalvary]

I prefer Ford Thunderbirds and Lincoln Mark 7 and 8. They are rear wheel drive. Actually Mercury Cougars are kind of cool too.

[Darylrb]

Had a 98 riviera with the ol m90. Did a pulley drop, better plugs, downpipe, intake for some loud whine. It moved pretty well. I got it at 130k miles, died at 300k. And yes the original 4t65hd

[paralyzes]

Nothing sluggish about how these Rivera’s performed or handled, their styling is timeless!

[thomasthurston]

I had a 96 bought in 98 it ran low 15s at Pomona traded it in 2016. The Riv had 206k miles and still kicked ass. They were fast for the time and almost 40k new.

[AaronSmith-kryf]

That Buick had Michelin tires on it. Somebody really loved their old car and took care of it. Michelin tires are a very good indicator the oil was always changed on time and the owner spent the $$$ to fix things when they broke/wore out. Also I like the weird styling, especially that knife edge detail on the front and rear fenders.
