Terrific Vehicle- 194,000 m& still on go
It has been a very well built, reliable vehicle, that we drove for 145,000 miles of its 194,000. Only problems have been with occasional need to replace radiator, replaced cruise control, and some brake concerns, that were never a safety issue. At less than $7000, it was a fantastic buy for us. It wasn't washed enough so it has some rust issues.
Good car for its age
A great car, comfortable and well equipped. Pretty reliable and cheap parts (very cheap) available. Good stability and again, very comfortable. Great value for money.
OLD FAITHFULL
I bought this car with 70000 k and it has never let me down. Other than brakes and exhaust (which is standard) I haven't had to do anything in the past 6 years. It now has about 200000 k and still runs fine. I would buy another oldsmobile anytime.
2.8L is a Contradiction
The Cutlass Ciera that I owned was a 4 door with the 2.8L and auto trans. The A/C was great, and the car was peppy and fun to drive. Great gas mileage and room for my family of 5 (2 adults and 3 children under 10yrs). The major problem I had was a head gasket that popped out the side of the engine that would leak antifreeze. The seats were of poor quality and had to have pillows to support the back. The front bench seat was uncomfortable on long trips, and the dashboard was very loose and rattled on interstate trips.
lotofbugs
the cost of repairs on this, I could have bought a Rolls Royce. First seven years good but last seven years were finacial hell.
