Explore the 1999 Buick Riviera

Beast Mobile

My first car was 1997 Supercharged Buick Rivera in the Dark Green. It is the definition of a Bachelor/Bachelorette mobile even if the front looks like a fish. The tail on the other hand screams power to people behind you. It had a very unique decision in that the car starts off narrow in the front, and ended narrow in the back. My dad made me get rid of it because I was still a kid, didnt know anything about cars, and it was leaked oil all over the place. My honda accord is cool too, but if I can get my hands on another one. I will

Less than 100 in the world last year Buick Riviera

Owned my 1999 Riviera since new currently 235,000 miles on original engine new supercharger. GM took all the previous years defects (1995)and by 1999 had them corrected to produce a full size (three adults in the backseat!!!) nimble fuel economy supercharged V6 3800 series II engine top ten engines ever built! Dual AC, Leather throughout, power heated seats and fast. After year 2000 most cars in the US lost a 1,000 pounds of weight replaced with air bags. This extra weight plus front engine gives the Riviera a much more stable ride in high wind foul weather conditions. I know cars this beauty is a sleeper in a collectors inventory. I have 5 largest collection of the last year American icon made in the USA

225,000 miles runs better than new with inncooler

Value is what it takes to replace what you have. A 1999 Buick Riviera is irreplaceable less than 100 exist in the world! My original Riv has 225,000 miles only super charger replaced, that is dependability, and I drive hard. Try finding one

224,000 miles runs better than new my 99 Riviera

Been driving Riviera since 1995 kept the last year built in 1999 that now has 224,000 miles on the original 3800 series II engine top ten engines built according to Wards magazine. Only 1,787 Rivieras were built for 1999! This car is what is called a sleeper collectible. After 5 years of searching less than 100 of these magnificent cars could I find, including Silver Arrows which GM only built 200 of. I have driven many cars domestic and foreign none ride this Buick Riviera does, American made!

225,000 miles still going strong FEW BUILT!

When in 1995 Buick introduced the Buick Riviera it was an eye opener dramatically new styling. Since 95 I have driven a Riviera and was sad when Buick quit building these magnificent cars in November of 1998 building only 1,787. After 5 years of searching less than 100 1999 Rivieras have been found! A car collection without the last year Riviera is incomplete! Try finding one.

99 Riviera

Great looking car even thought the body style is 15 years old. Supercharged 3800 engine has excellent performance and reliability. Has all the features that you would expect in a premium coupe. Only downside is steering wheel blocks view to some gauges and doors are big.
