I just got a 1985 Buick Riviera which looks real good from outside and inside. Car will crank but won't start. It has been sitting in the garage not being driven. Can someone help?

The carbureted V8 (307 c.i.) is adequate at best. The car is underpowered. It did cost me an arm & a leg to get the car to pass the emissions test! It is a good car for long trips, as it is very comfortable in terms of both ride and seats. Trunk space is adequate, but not as large as one might suspect, given the size of the vehicle.Nov 23, 2011

Classy & comfortable. They don't make them like that anymore, When I drive mine on the highway I imagine how many cars of today will last as long. Gas MPG is ok because is isn't used all the time.
The original laquer paint shines as new. The outside dimensions are in line with current cars but it has old car features; glass headlights, chrome bumpers, interior colors no longer avail, plush velvet seats & door panels, 1/2 vinyl roofs and wire wheels.Jul 23, 2010

Got the car for free but it needed some work - about 450 dollars worth. Drove the car for a few years and the only problem was a bad battery cable and the exhaust rotted and fell off.Jun 21, 2008
