1984 Buick Riviera good buy??? HELP FAST!!

[berkes454]

i was looking at a 1984 Buick Riviera the other day
the guy said it needs a battery and valve cover
gaskets....no biggie. i go and look at the car it has
very little rust the orginal 307.......110,000 orginal
miles......interior is in good shape....well he pulled
is car over to the Buick to jump start it. i talked
to him and turns out i know the guy!!
we talk and he jumps in the car and it cranks right
over and fires up, damn near any car for sale should
run so i dont get excited. well we let the car warm
up and i get in and tap the gas to idle it down...before
i go and listen to the motor i goose it a couple if
times....throttle response is damn near stunning.
i get out and walk to the front of the car.....not one
lifter tick....no knocks....just smooth silence. im blown
away, he gets in the car and puts it in reverse and it
moves without even straining the motor!! he telss me
$200 ya thats not a typo two-hundred bucks!! it used
to be his work car and he own a new Taurus. Should
I jump on this?? i dont see a problem at all.....all the
fluids looked fresh and didnt smell burnt. thanks guys

YES !!

Definitely get it. Don't part it out! Drive it and fix anything that's wrong.

It'll be good to have another '79-85 owner on this site.

Good luck,
Mark
