I would recommend this unit especially since you are doing so much of this now. I have had one for about 4 years and it does a fantastic job https://www.floormatshop.com/Detailer-Pro-Heated-Carpet-Extractor.aspx?matchtype=&network=g&device=c&keyword=&campaign=1337060088&adgroup=pla-513380765727&_vsrefdom=floormatshop&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIue6Zvf6w7gIViaCGCh0oGgmeEAQYByABEgKVevD_BwE

The seem to be with the Reatta general posts

Look at the car on a big screen, the right front fender appears to have a major paint issue, there are marks and scratches all over the rear, the left headlight has been replaced or... the interior is tired, looks like it was rode hard and put away wet for a car with 69K miles. There wouldn't be much original paint on the car and even if you only had to paint the hood and light it would make the rest look awful. The top is also on its way out. I would consider it a rough daily driver for someone

looks like splits in the seat fabric. Typical low option LeSabre sedan

The cost to properly restore this one would be huge, it needs everything to bring it up par

It's not listed in either the 90 or 91 GM/Buick accessory book

Perhaps you should add it to your collection, it's right up your alley for what you usually buy

You can look anywhere for one, that was not an option so there would be no Reatta specific one. Also checked the Buick Accessories Car Care Products Book(dealer installed accessories) and there wasn't one listed there either

One has to wonder why a Super and not a Roadmaster?

Understandable

Interesting, it's listed on CL for $3000

It’s easier to buy a car with 16 way seats than it is to buy a nice car and find nice set of 16 way seats to put in it.

There’s no comparison between comfort level and adjustability between the two

Once again we see a Reatta selling for fantastic money - this is without doubt becoming not an unusual occurrence on right cars, OK naysayers, go at it My opinion is the same as Barney's, when buying one, always buy the very best Reatta you can afford. Try to find one with the 16 way seats, it's worth the wait.

Yes, fire red was available on them in both 71 & 72, and it's certainly likely that some were special ordered in fire red

I don't believe red was an available color on those in 73, if it is original paint it would be a special order

I thought this was really strong or maybe crazy money for this particular example, needs a new top which means add at least $1500 instantly, interior is ok but definite issues, plus standard not 16 way seats. https://www.ebay.com/itm/1990-Buick-Reatta-/333839001480?hash=item4dba5ae788%3Ag%3AhfQAAOSw9RNf6Smd&nma=true&si=O9jTbXS%2FX0FIiUJfHs%2BLmFbQlVw%3D&orig_cvip=true&nordt=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

Looking close at some of the picture it may not be as nice as it appears in pictures. The rear chrome looks particularly bad. Fantastic color though

That's where I will start, thanks guys

It's been a southern car it's entire life so heater never used much

yes

Thanks, I was wondering about the blend door and that will be what I look at first. To answer Barney's question, yes, the cruise works as it should.

I find I have no heat, not even luke warm, blows cold. A/C works great, cycles through defrost/bi-level etc just fine. Blower works on all 3 settings and auto. Thoughts?

The XRS Toro was the previous body style (Prior 79), there is absolutely nothing in common with those cars and an 85 riv or even an 85 Toro except they are front wheel drive. The Eldo, Riv and Toro were new ground up in 79. a Those Toros of the XRS years were cumbersome boats and the Riv would feel like a nimble sports car in comparison and they by no means are that. If I were looking for a Riv of those years I would opt for the 79 with a 350 or a Turbo car. The cars are fantastic road cars, extremely well styled and luxurious. Power is just adequate for what they are

What a great backdrop for the Reatta and really captures the beauty. It reminds me of western movie setting and the cars namesake Reata Ranch
