Guest GMcars Posted June 4, 2006 Share Posted June 4, 2006 Even though I am putting this posting up because I have the car for sale, while I want to obtain a price for what the car is worth, I want the person that purchases it to be someone who will appreciate it and preserve it well so I thought I'd share the information and add some pictures for you all. It is very well maintained 1990 Reatta convertible (ebay 464654717), garaged daily when not in use, stored winters, never in an accident (the carfax report also verifies such) all original - just as it was crafted with the exception of 4 new tires. The interior leather seats are flawless - no rips, tears, etc, just some gentle wear. Driver's is equipped with the optional 16-way control. Also has optional CD player (not functioning). Everything else is in perfect working order. The convertible top is in excellent condition, with the driver's side lower corner edge just beginning to show a tiny amount of fraying. The car rides beautifully. The engine purrs and the transmission shifts smoothly. No brake issues or any warning lights. A/C blows cold. As for appearance, the car is free of any dents and rust and the Bright Red paint is lustrous with the tan painted pinstripe intact and the car's interior is impeccable. The four factory alloy wheels are in outstanding condition. I'm pleased to say that this car has been maintained with an attention to detail and its condition is uncommonly good. Personally I collect and enjoy cars as a hobby. Why I'm selling... My car collection is unrealistically large at this time and I have a variety of other vehicles in addition to this, two of which are classic two-seater sports cars and besides those I also have another a red GM convertible from this era and I can go on from there with a further explanation on some historic ones, the new vehicles that I drive during week based on my needs at work and so forth. I also live in Michigan and although I do have room to store all of these during the winter, I do not have enough of a full driving season to enjoy them all enough to justify having as many as I currently do. So, I am coming to my senses and reluctantly I'm offering this one for auction. Maybe one day I will get another in a color other than red so I don't have two red convertibles. It was in my family with another car lover prior to me buying it and I know for a fact cared for well there too, but I always wanted to add it to my collection so when I was offered the chance I did. It now has 59,100 miles.Also included with this vehicle auction are all original items that came with the car. This includes and is shown in the photos on-line where the car is listed on ebay: Window Sticker, Reatta leather case with owner's manual, Craftsman's signed log, Reatta set of pen, tire gauge and flashlight, atlas, pamphlet, signature plate card, and notepad. Supplemental items I've acquired since I am a fanatic and I will include with the sale of the car include the Reatta-specific color brochure the 1990 Buick model year dealer point-of-sale booklet including a two page photo of the Reatta convertible of this exact car/color combination. Lastly, the Reatta Dealer Service Manual I've used since owning it to properly maintain this car when I haven't had it serviced it at the dealership. The car cover is also included. I really would like for it to find a good home with someone who will properly take care of it. Ebay Item #: 4646547171. I know of no better forum than this. I always look forward to catching up on the posts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest kennyw Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 I am now the high bidder. Red is the only color for a sports car, especially a convert. ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest GMcars Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 Red has always been my favorite color car. I have gotten a few speeding tickets over the years. I may not have caught the eye of a police officer as many times had I not been speeding in a Red Sports Car but who doesn't love to go a little too fast in a red drop top once n' a while! <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
