A keeper

Big, safe, powerful, smooth. This car gets about 26 mpg on the highway, yet has decent pickup and a high top speed. The center console is all digital and touch screen (factory), letting you know everything that is going on. It's had transmission issues, but it's easy and cheap to find a replacement at the junk yard with decent mileage on it, being that the transmission goes in about 7 or 8 different GM models. Also, watch your speed in this car, I catch myself doing over 80 and it feels like most other cars do at 55.

I bought it from it's original owner. It's been kept in the garage it's whole 17 years. I love this car. You can not buy a car built like this anymore. Solid. I have 2 other cars new and a truck. By far this is the one I like the most.

THIS CAR IS DA BOMB! Talk about a head turner! People are always asking me about it and if I am ready to sell it. The engine is very responsive and the car stops on a dime. Rebuilt trans put in two years prior to purchase and was just replaced with another trans. Runs like new!

June 2020 Just purchased a 1990 Riviera from a couple in Mitchell, Indiana. The car has 104,000 miles and has been garaged, so the body is immaculate. I’m impressed with the engine and the comfort of the vehicle and the fact that for under $3,000 I have something that looks and drives as well as a newer more expensive automobile.

Catchy Title

The tape player broke about a month after I bought it. It was my first car. as a high schooler, it served me very well. I never had any big problems with it. 5 years and I finally sold it because I was moving and I didn't take care of it cosmetically. for a 20+ year old car, I am still so proud that my first car took care of me.
