1990 Buick Reatta - Red/Saddle

[Jibby]

My Reatta is giving me all sorts of electrical problems, and the headaches are too expensive for me to consider repairing. At this point, unless you have a alot of time on your hands, it's only useful for parts.

1990 Buick Reatta - Red/Saddle - Sunroof - 96,000 and change.

New digital dash, with upgrades. Old digital dash, 00 code. Aftermarket CD player. I have the old radio. Replacement driver's window motor. The original works, however. I had it repaired, after I bought the motor. Brand new headlight motors. Extra cranks, and rollers, courtesy of Barney Eaton, so they're better than OEM parts. New Michelin Arctic Alpin snow tires. Comes with the spare donut, perhaps a new tire on donut. Sunroof works.

I have nearly $5,000 into the car, name your price.

Year: 1990

Coupe: Coupe W/Sunroof

Mileage: 96,094

Considered Correct? (Y)

Location: Milford, Pennsylvania

Title: It's not a salvage, and as far as I know, it hasn't been in any major accidents. There was some repair done near the driver's door handle, but it seems to have been done correctly.

Any Accident History? Obviously, something must've hit the driver's door, but I have no idea if it's on record. Mechanic says the window is a "junkyard" window. May be a "junkyard" door, but it looks alright, and it functions properly. No hang, or trouble closing.

Asking Price: $700.00

Willing to take trade: Not Interested

Exterior Color: Bright Red

Interior Color: Saddle

Paint Original? (Y)

Paint Condition? Fair to Good

Belt & Bumper Molding Color: Body Color

Body Dents: (Y)

There are little dings all over the car. Mostly on the roof, a few on the sides.

Body Rust: (Y)

There are two spots, both spots are painted over, but it is apparent that there is a little rust underneath. Both are very small. They are both on the roof. One one the edge of the windshield, the other on the edge of the sunroof. No apparent leaks, so I'm guessing they were cleaned and covered with touch-up.

Windshield Chipped or Cracked? (N)

Vent Glass Intact? (Y)

Rubber surround molding for windshield condition? Fair. It's doesn't look new, but it doesn't leak.

Rubber surround molding for rear window condition? Fair. Same as above.

Out Side Mirrors Intact? (Y) Driver's side mirror doesn't work, but the motor runs properly. I think the armature, if there is any, is broken.

Headlight Motors Function Correctly? (Y) The lights are not syncronized. The passenger comes up after the driver, but it comes up properly, and holds.

Tail Light Lens: Cloudy/Cracked. The reflector on the passenger side was broken, but I have the piece. It was apparently glued back on, but came off when I polished the car.

Interior Original? (Y)

16 Way Seats? (Y)

Works (Y)

Seat Condition? (Good) They're good, just dirty. Some elbow grease and a good leather cleaner would make them nice.

Drivers interior door panel condition? Poor

Passengers interior door panel condition? Fair

Center console top armrest condition? Fair

Door weather stripping condition? Fair. As I said before. It doesn't look great, but it doesn't leak. It's all in one piece, and not torn or missing.

Headliner Condition? Poor

Carpet Condition? Poor to Fair. It's complete, but it's dirty, and the rear section is faded.

Original Floor Mats: (Y)

Floor Mat Condition: Fair. Need to be properly cleaned. Would be good, if clean.

Condition of Steering Wheel Leather: Poor. It's intact, but it's horribly dirty, and it's worn.

Sun Roof? (Y)

Works? (Y)

Functional Keyless Entry? (Y)

Both Remotes? (N) Just one.

Problems with Electronic Dash items? (N)

Power Windows Work Correctly? (Y) The driver's side track was broken, but I had it spot welded. It works, although not perfectly. I try not to put it down all the way, for fear that it'll get stuck in the track. I think the regulator needs to be adjusted or replaced.

Power Seats Work Correctly? (Y)

Power Door Locks Work Correctly? (Y)

Power Antenna Work Correctly? (Y)

Original Sound System? Not sure, the radio is after market, but I have the original radio. The speakers work properly.

Sound System Fully Functional? (Y)

Aftermarket Sound System Equipment? (Y)

Aftermarket CD player, single din, with enclosure plastic.

A/C Functional? (Y) Probably needs to be charged, 'cause I get the light. But it works.

Has the A/C been converted from R12 to R134A? Not sure.

Does the suspension require any attention? (N) The suspension isn't in tip-top shape, but it works properly. It just creaks, if you hit a crater.

Craftsmen?s Log (Y)

In General, What items need attention? The car is giving me problems with the electronics. Today, I turned the fog lights on, and the car shut off. The dash and radio blinked on and off. The ABS light came on, but it seems to work properly. The air conditioner needs attention, probably needs to be recharged. The left turn signal works, when the lights are off. If you turn them on, and they heat up, it doesn't want to work. Strangely enough, it will blink if you have the hazard lights on, regardless of whether the headlights are on.

My Reatta Drives: Good

I am the ? owner of this Reatta. Don't remember, I think that I may be the fourth owner.

I have owned this Reatta for 4 Years.

Each of these links should bring you to a slide show, containing the pictures. They were taken with my camera phone, so they're not the greatest. But they'll give you an idea of what the car is like.
