Vehicle Description
The Buick Reatta is one of those specialty vehicles direct from the
manufacturer, and the likes of which we might never see again. It
took the powerful motor shared with the Riviera, wrapped it around
a sleek body, and then gave it a European-inspired fully
independent suspension. So when you can find a loaded and highly
original example that has been well cared for all its life, well
then, the value goes well beyond affordability.
Bright red is a great color for a car like this. It really gives an
instant sporty first impression on this personal coupe. And this
one truly does have a performance-oriented design with swoopy
lines, folding headlights, and a very cool wrap-around greenhouse.
But there is also a nice hint of sophistication that this is a
luxury machine, too. It's in the subtle places like the bright
strip that encircles the entire car, and the gold pinstripe nicely
laid against the bright red. Overall, workmanship is very good,
because it was built at a factory specially set up by GM to create
these low volume personal luxury cars. In fact, while General
Motors is known for mass production, this Reatta can almost be
considered hand-crafted.
When you open the door, the condition of the saddle leather
interior really lets you know this coupe has been babied all its
life. The great-looking bucket seats are power adjustable so you
can make them armchair comfortable. Almost everything was standard
in the Reatta, including air conditioning, a tilt column, power
windows, power locks, and cruise control. Plus, you get a very cool
electro-luminescent gauge panel that offers all the right info,
while retaining the car's cool futuristic style. And owning a
new-school classic means modern safety of ABS and a driver's
airbag. Plus, this one has truly been upgraded for today with an
AM/FM/CD stereo that has connections for your iPod and
Bluetooth.
When you open the hood, you're treated to more of the originality
and car that you've seen in the interior and exterior. This
fuel-injected 3.8-liter V6 has been the backbone of Buick during
this era because it provides terrific power while remaining quiet
and reliable. It shows all signs of proper maintenance, so you have
a true gem under the hood. The Reatta was meant to be Buick's
Mercedes SL competitor, so on the road it feels confident with even
a little hint of a sporty exhaust. The four-speed automatic
transmission with overdrive, fully independent suspension, and
four-wheel disc brakes makes this a great car for long hauls or fun
weekends on the backroads.
Complete with owner's manual, you're looking at the perfect mix of
luxury and sport, and it's all wrapped in a very unique package. So
at this price, this red Reatta is going fast. Call today!!!
