    Cheap at $2800 for leather and power astro-roof. Quite a looker with the Buick turbocharged V6.

    1984 Buick Riviera T type odometer: 74250 fuel : gas transmission : automatic title status : clean cylinders : 6 cylinders

    • I have a 1984 T-type Buick riviera for sale. It has around 74k original miles on it. The second picture shows the original rims that come with the car. The car DOES NOT HAVE THE WIRE WHEELS ON IT. I do have the wire wheels still but they are knock offs and I was just putting them on the car to what it looked like. The car runs and drives good. The gas gauge is not always accurate. It has leather seats, good tires, good brakes, moonroof. Auto windows and door locks, Everything is factory. I do not drive the car and keep it in storage

    One of those too good to be true prices. Love those seats.
    I'm so used to crappy cheap interiors on my cars and trucks.

    Had a co-worker back in '84/'85 who ordered a Buick Riviera (not a T-Type) in that exact color. It was her very first new car. She had worked her way up in the world to management level, and this was her reward to herself. I left the company shortly thereafter, so I never found out how the Riviera fared later in its life.....

    Don't know what year it was but our very young daughter had a T-bird with the first digital dash I ever saw!
    I was amazed!:yahoo:

    I inherited my mom's 1985 Riviera with digital dash. I did not like that option when the parental units bought the car. However, it still works 30 years later although gas gauge is less than accurate. :biglaugh:

    I love the Turbine wheels on these! Buicks have always had beautiful wheel options. The ghetto wire wheels must go. Period.

    Great price, assuming it's all good. Sell the wires and tires for $600 or so and recoup the cost of getting the car in the first place.

    I had an '86 with one and it was already having trouble despite being 10 years old. A coworker has had to rebuild his digital dash (Buick Reatta) to get it to function again. Digital dashes were neat at the time but as the technology ages...

    By 85 the Buick Turbo's were EFI correct? If so they are not bad cars, I have worked on enough of the Carb'd Turbo Buicks to learn to avoid them.

    I do like this car, unusual colors, I think 90% of them were white with either a white, tan, or Red interior.

    A friend had a Buick Reatta. He's a flipper. He ended up getting that one back and flipping it at least three times.:slap:
    Something about bad grounds on the dash.

    Bad grounds and failed isolated power supplies to feed the control logic circuits (most of which are no longer readily available). Add in conformal coating of the board and it was a headache and a half to fix.

    Has the high priced leather interior option with suede inserts. :) This Riviera certainly looks like a winner for the price.
