Guest BIGRIV Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Hey guys, I just picked up a 96 Riv for a daily driver. I got her cheap and she needs some work and a paint job but I like it. Just thought I'd share...I'll post some pics when I get around to taking some. I dont know much about this generation, so I'm sure I'll have many questions...

dship Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Michael,My wife drove a 96 and I a 97 (both supercharged) as daily drivers for 10 years and put alot of miles on them without much more than maintenance expense...fantastic cars. They're what got us interested in the ROA and BCA (have owned 5 Riv's but now down to 1...the 92).We did however sell the 96 & 97 as time went by for our current Caddy Eldo's.

I'm very impressed how fast this thing is! I had no idea they were that quick. How have you been Dave?... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweepspear Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 I owned a '96 as my daily driver for 3 years. Traded it in last summer.Would have kept it if I had the room.I really enjoyed owning it! It had nearly 220,000 miles on it, but you would never know it if you didn't see the odometer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
