"ONE OF A KIND" 1988 BUICK REATTA COUPE with 35,600 original miles!! (This is an affordable collector/show car or a really cool driver.) The car is loaded with all options and everything works perfectly. I am a 78 year old woman and I have loved the time I have had with this car! My life style is changing, and though I keep the car in a climate controlled garage, I am not giving it the attention it deserves. It is time for someone else to enjoy this rare, like new vehicle.

Our Take:
- Limited Production Run: The 1988 Buick Reatta was part of a short-lived production, spanning only from 1988 to 1991. In its debut year, just 4,707 units were built. That limited quantity adds a dash of rarity that those in the collector community tend to cherish.
- Craftsman Style Manufacturing: Unlike the typical mass production line, the Reatta was assembled in a unique style at Lansing, Michigan. Workers—referred to as "craftspeople"—assembled the car in stations, giving it a bit of an artisanal touch. It's a fascinating footnote that highlights Buick's attempt to blend traditional craftsmanship with modern automotive techniques.
- Advanced Features for Its Time: The Reatta was loaded with features that were quite advanced for its day, like dual power seats and a digital dashboard. It had an AM/FM radio with a cassette player—the height of in-car entertainment back then! If anything, this throws a bit of nostalgia into the mix for those who've been around long enough to remember cassettes as the primary medium for music.
- Pristine Condition and Low Mileage: With only 35,600 miles on the clock and having been kept in a climate-controlled garage, this Reatta is a time capsule. It's akin to finding a well-preserved classic novel, untouched by too many hands over the years. Given its pampered life—never having seen rain while under the current owner's care—it's a rare find indeed, practically begging to be driven and admired.
