BUICK REATTA
HARLEYPARTS, 01/24/2004
1990 Buick Reatta 2dr Coupe
HAVE HAD THE REATTA FOR 14 YEARS.
MAINTENANCE HAS BEEN MIMIMAL.OIL IS
CHANGED EVERY 3000 MILES.WHEN LIVING UP
NORTH, THE CAR WAS STORED FOR THE
WINTER.NEVER SAW SNOW OR SALT.
THE "FLIP UP" HEADLIGHTS WERE FIXED
TWICE BY MYSELF BY GOING ON THE REATTA
SITE (LOTS OF GOOD INFO THERE)AND THE
BRAKE ACCUMULATOR HAS BEEN REPLACED.
OTHER THAN THOSE, THAT IS IT.

1990 Buick Reatta 2dr Coupe
When I first saw my car listed I was kind of skeptical. I have always thought of buick as making reliable cars but cars for an older generation. I usually look at them and say "that looks like a really nice car but it is just not my style." But, when I saw my car I immediately fill in love with it. The styling was way ahead of its time and is still not dated it reminds me of a sports car … you would see on a dealers lot today. I have had this car for over a year and have had ZERO problems with it. Which I think is pretty good considering age. It was built to last.

new one in a heartbeat.

Great automobile

1990 Buick Reatta 2dr Convertible
I have two Reattas, one coupe and one convertible, both 1990 vintage. Both cars require little to no maintenance, are fun to drive, get admiring stares from other drivers, and frequently a ,"what kind of car is that"? I have owned dozens of cars over my lifetime, but this little auto is by far the most comfortable roadster ever built in the USA. If you are able, buy one!
