This vehicle served me well

I purchased this vehicle as a buy-back rental. The transmission lasted 128,000 miles; the only engine problem is a short tube costing $5 to replace. I've been able to move belongings for 4 major moves, including state-to-state. It looks like there's lots more life in this car!

I've had this 1995 red car for 6 years in Michigan—a mini-limo with a formal rear quarter post, and a cool car for attempted seduction. It's roomy enough for our garage band & some stuff. Its body shows rust spots around the wheel wells & where trim pieces attach. I replaced the engine when the crankcase lost all its oil (my fault). It won't always turn left from a stop (it used to), and the tranny has problems. One window motor no longer works. The console lid is split 'cause I use it to lever me out of a very low- slung seat. My biggest complaint is there's no place to put toll coins, which end up all over the floor & scares people when I dive for 'em.

Still going strong

My 1995 Oldsmobile Ciera had 36,000 miles on it when I acquired it, and at 63,000 miles, three years later it is still going strong. It has required only normal maintenance. I am experiencing some minor electrical problems as things like the power window motors wear out. While not a "cool" car for a teenager or college student to have, it has been very reliable. The roomy trunk and back seat have moved my posessions from home to dorm room and back again many times now without my parents having to bring anything else in their car. I'm not overly impressed with the quality of the radio/sound system, though. Its gas mileage is usually in mid-to-upper 20s, I occasionally gets 30 mpg.

Great Midsize Choice

I just bought this car a little over a month ago after I totalled my Escort. It has the 3.1 V6 engine, 4-speed auto transmission, and 107,000 miles. So far all I had to do was put on two new tires and fix a trans line leak. It's going to need a power steering pump and a new starter soon, but those are just minor items to replace on an 11 year old car. The engine is quite powerful even though the looks don't suggest it. I also get around 25-27 MPG so it's decent on gas for a midsize. I wish the car didn't have the granny suspension so it would be better on windy roads and wouldn't float as much.

198,000 and Still Running Strong!

I am an auto mechanic and most cars at 198,000 miles are pretty turdish. Being a Wisconsin car it does have minor rust but my friends always comment that the car rides really nice. I purchased the car from one of my friends (another mechanic) for $900 a little over a year ago at 173,000 miles and the car has never let me down. I have another friend that finally junked one of these at 260,000 miles.
