What Owners are Saying About the 1999 Buick Riviera

"These are awesome cars!!"

"I am amazed at how well these Buick Rivs age when taken care of. Great leather, beautiful paint and just a rock-solid car to buy. I love the fact that the styling is a combination of retro and futuristic! I have always loved them back when they were new and I finally found the right one after all these years."

"Best Car I have ever Owned"

"We bought our Riv on ebay in 2007 from Texas with only 33,000 miles. We have owned it for 14 years with only a water pump to repair. Best car ever with all the options, sun roof, heated seats, steering wheel controls, supercharger and great gas mileage. The Riviera is a true highway star - you can float along for hours in great comfort. Our "Last Riv" has a timeless style and will become a classic. With the stealth nameplates and badges, people often look at the car and I know what they will ask "What kind of car is this? Its a great car !"

"LOVE THIS CAR"

"I loved this car and wanted one forever, but the planets never aligned for me. finally I picked one up, 98 fully optioned 134k. The car has some slight hail damage, some slight interior wear and the infamous paint damage. other than that, the car just glides its as great as I imagined."
