Thinking of selling The Riv...

[Delta Force79]

Well I've come to the conclusion that I may need to sell my Riviera. The car is having one problem after naother due to the fact I cannot afford to fix it right now. last night my service engine light came on, and when I hooked up my scanner it pulled 6 codes. the main one is a missfire on cylinder 6. I recently had a miss and had a coil pack and spark plug replaced about a month and a half ago. Now another coil pack seems to have gone. I also need brakes relaly bad and tires. The reason I cannot have the work done is because I've been out of work for 3 months now, and can't contiue to dump my limited funds into it any longer. It is a 1995 Riviera with 91,xxx miles on it...it has a new rebuilt alternator and serpentine belt as of March '07, a tranny flush and service at the same time. But I spent around 700 bucks on the car in March and now the brakes are shot, the tires need to be replaced and this missfire...i can't keep up with it, lacking a source of income. I haven't decided for sure if I'm going to sell it, but if anyone is interested in it, or would like more info on it and what I would be looking for, PM me.

I have money in stocks that I may sell in order to buy something else, or to get my Delta 88 back on the road ( which also needs work to be road ready) I'm really sad about the Riv though, it is a really nice car and was fun to drive before these issues came up.

Keep the Delta... dump the Rivi.

XP715 finally listened to reason and sold his "Egg".

It must be national sell your Riv month.

Quite a few for sale around here..starting to wonder....

On a sad note, yeaterday I watched a 96 Riv on it's way to 'yard......

Well I'm not 100% sure what I'm going to do with it, or if I going to keep it. But if no one is interested...which seems ot be the case you can add a '95 to that yard next to the '96.

Yes, but your RWD, BOF, V8 powered Olds is WAY cooler.

[Delta Force79]

I can't argue with you there

Well, hopefully not the yard..

I love Rivs myself- but I couldn't spend much more than like 500 bucks on a new beater (which could replace the wagon)

and not spend more than a few hundred fixing it up....

So I know how you feel....

Appreciate your honesty....despite the issues with the car now, once those are taken care of it's a really nice, well maintained car. The body is in really good shape, the interior as well. I would probably be looking for around 1,500 to 2 K for it.
