The 1995 Buick Riviera for buyers

No 1995 Buick Riviera is for sale by CarmaCars at the moment; this page helps you judge the car before you buy one elsewhere. Before buying the 1995 Buick Riviera, read what the figures say and how to try one first.

Before you sign for the Riviera

NHTSA has 130 owner complaints on file, mostly about engine and engine cooling, seat belts and electrical system. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. NHTSA lists 1 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed.

The figures, translated

Its 3.8L 6-cylinder drives through a 4-speed automatic. It runs on regular gas. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.

The combined figure, 11.8 L/100 km, means roughly 35 litres for 300 km. Driving 300 km costs roughly $54.87 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$3,350 a year for 15,000 miles.

The Riviera in everyday use

As a mid-size car, it is easy to drive and park in the city. It measures 5.26 m long by 1.91 m wide. Measure your parking spot or garage first. The trunk holds 481 litres by the EPA's count: a family's bags for a long weekend.

Who the Riviera suits

It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town. It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one.

Drive it on your own roads

Rent first, buy later: a week with the Riviera answers the big questions. Try the Riviera on your commute, then decide. Rent the Riviera first, and buy only if it fits your life.

Money matters

Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car. The EPA estimates US$3,350 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.

Which one to look for

Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first.

Still deciding?

Tell us the model and the dates, and we reply with an offer.

Rent it for a week before you buy
