Power-Orc

As a youngster who has grown up with power-seats being more or less standard, I think I’ll make sure to buy a fully-optioned Reatta. You old timers have talked me into it 😝

@padgett I love that white/blue/blue combo! The blue really pops. Quick question: SS in this context means Select Sixty, right?

Hi Barney, thanks for your answers and advice. I definitely think the red convertible top on the Reatta I’m looking at is an aftermarket job, since the dealer mentioned having the service receipt for a new top. As for the Mecum auction, it sold for $22,000! You’re right, it was a base model without PS or CD player, but it sure was pretty to look at. I just thought that was a surprisingly high price, based on my 2-3 months experience hunting for Reattas. I’ll PM you about that SC tip, thanks!

Hello all, I'm new here. I'm not yet a Reatta owner, but I've got the bug bad and I'm on the hunt! I wanted to ask y'all a few questions and hopefully benefit from the community's experience. 1: Any opinions on what a non-stock, non-factory color convertible top might do to a '91 Reatta's value? It's a very tasteful red top added to a white convertible and it was installed by East Coast Reattas, who I believe are well regarded around here, yeah? The unit I'm looking at also has modded white Reatta wheels that are not quite as tasteful as the ragtop. 2: Do you guys think that, in 2021, its better to buy a more unrestored Reatta for cheap and just make repairs later or is it better to buy a more expensive Reatta that has already had some mechanical repairs and restoration? I know that the availability of parts and qualified mechanics was a major issue in the past, but has the internet more or less fixed those problems? Is it still a huge pain-in-the-butt to get a Reatta repaired? I'm in the Midwest, by the way. 3: Any thoughts on this beautiful Reatta that sold at Mecum today? https://www.mecum.com/lots/FL0121-442454/1990-buick-reatta-convertible/ Thanks so much and nice to meet y'all!
