| Hey guys & gals.
New to the site. Very cool so far.
I'm looking at buying my first riviera next week. Looks and drives nice
Just wanted to ask if there is anything specific I should watch out for
Before plopping down the money.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Edit: well folks. I guess it wasn't meant to be. Sold out from under me.
Guess ill have to keep looking. Thanks for your help though. Seem to
Be a great group of people.

| I have a 95 also and I would recommend asking about the history of the Transmission. If original, its getting into a mileage where problems are not uncommon. If rebuilt be sure to find out where it was done. The 4T60-E transmission is the weak link in these cars and rebuilds are quite pricey. | |

| Hey Matthew, welcome to the group. I noticed you're from Fort Wayne, try to get it on a rack and check for that dreaded cancer. | |

| Already done. Relatively cancer free. Some light stuff underneath. But nothing serious | |
