  Love/Hate Relationship 97 Buick Riviera - 1997 Buick Riviera
  By holmslice88 - March 11 - 10:18 pm

  I purchased the vehicle with 147,000 miles on it for $3,500 and thought it was the best car ever. I loved the leather interior with the single heated seat(only available on the drivers side.) It was such a smooth ride at first but once I hit 165,000 it went downhill. The Transmission blew and had to drop $2,500 unexpectedly to fix it. The door handle broke 3 times on the drivers side, keep in mind that the factory one is around $250. Issues with the crankshaft sensor and suspension happened around 190k miles. I managed to get it up to 220k miles....Im honestly going to miss the ride and comfort but I am not going to miss the headache.

  Smooth Ride - 1997 Buick Riviera
  By kjlong - December 9 - 11:13 pm

  I got this car from a family of 9 so it was pretty rough when I got it. It needed several fixes and replacements before it was back in decent condition. It served me well while I commuted during college, never left me on the side of the road, and has always provided the luxury that has been associated with Buick vehicles. I am currently pushing 18k miles and it has definitely seen better days but I am overall very pleased with this car. The interior is decent besides a missing piece of leather on the console, scratches and dings on the dashboard and steering wheel controls, and a couple of damaged fan covers: these issues were present when I bought it. I love the ride!

  My Grandmas Car - 1997 Buick Riviera
  By OptiClaw - December 1 - 6:23 pm

  Bought my grandparents Riviera a couple months ago. They bought it new in 97 and it only had 70K miles in 08. For $3000, thats a great deal. Seats are super comfortable, stereos nice, decent power and MPG. Steering is light as a feather. Gas gauge doesnt register correctly below half tank, but with over 300 miles per tank, thats not too big a deal. Definitely not a sports car, but its a major upgrade from my old 93 Mazda 626.

  Last sharp-looking Buick - 1997 Buick Riviera
  By LarryMit - July 18 - 4:45 pm

  I finally got my Riviera since lusting after the 1963 model when it came out. This is the best looking American car since 1963 and the last good-looking one. If only Buick would make another Riviera like this, Id consider buying another Buick. Oh, well!
