Hi there,

So this car is my pride and joy, but I have to sell it to pay for tuition. It's got some little things wrong with it, like the glove compartment and trunk locks don't work properly, but it drives perfectly. I wouldn't give it up if I didn't have to.

Pictures and details are below. Thanks so much for helping me!

I really appreciate it.

Pictures available at http://philologia.wordpress.com/2008/11/12/1989-buick-reatta-for-sale/.

Year: 1989, coupe

Mileage: 144,000

Considered Correct.

Any Accident History? Not that I know of.

Asking Price: $2500, will take what I can get! No trades, sorry.

Interior Color: Grey

Paint Original? Yes.

Paint Condition? Fair, there’s a fairly deep 6-in scratch on the passenger side from a bad towing job.

Body Dents: Only a couple of tiny indents, less than the size of a dime

Body Rust: A little by the wheel, pictures available under link above.

Windshield Chipped or Cracked? Not at all

Rubber surround molding for windshield condition? I don’t know. I think it’s fine.

Sound System Fully Functional? The tape player is iffy, but all else works wonderfully.

Aftermarket Sound System Equipment? I don’t think so.

A/C Functional? I believe so.

Has the A/C been converted from R12 to R134A? I don’t know.

Does the suspension require any attention? No, I believe it’s fine.

Factory Wheels? I think they have the Reatta symbol, which would mean probably.

Factory Wheel Center Caps Condition: I think they’re all there and in good condition, but I’m not positive.

Any Brake Components Replaced? I’m not sure.

Last Time Brake System Was Flushed? I’m not sure.

Original Engine? I think so, yes.

Original Engine Rebuilt? I’m not sure.

Does Engine require attention? I think it’s okay.

Does the engine, cooling system, power steering, or brake system leak any fluids? I don’t think so

Original Transmission Rebuilt? I don’t know.

Does Transmission require attention? I think it’s fine.

When was last Transmission Service? I believe it was all taken care of about a year ago.

Any Transmission Leaks? Not that I know of.

I have some, maybe most, receipts for service for the last two years.

Does the car have the owners manual portfolio? No.

In General, what items need attention? All easy to fix! I just haven't gotten around to them. The cigarette lighter needs a fuse. The latch on the gas tank isn't latching. The lock on the glove compartment needs to be replaced, so the glove compartment does not close. The exterior lock on the trunk also needs replacing, but it opens fine with the button.

My Reatta Drives: Excellent! Never a problem, outshines my friends' new convertibles by a mile.

I am the 3rd owner of this Reatta.

I have owned this Reatta for 2 years as of mid-December.

I would not be selling this car if I didn’t have to! Unfortunately, it came down to a choice between college and the car.

There are some cosmetic issues, and a couple of little things that don't work but would be easy to fix--like the lock on the glove compartment, for example.

Contact me at 515-865-8123 or email me at veggie1@gmail.com if you want more info. I may be able to get you pictures, although I don't have any right now.

We're hoping for $2500, but make an offer!
