194000 miles and going
We purchased a SL Ciera Wagon in 8/02 for another basic vehicle with better fuel economy. We also had a 99 Tahoe and 01 Dodge Ram 2500 SLT P/U. The Ciera wagon had 173000 miles on it when we purchased it, but was in excellent condition inside and out. It now has 194000 miles and is going strong. We are averaging 25 mpg and have had no problems. Not bad for $1000 dollars. The oil gets changed every 3500 miles with Quaker State Higher Milage oil. Compared to our other two vehicles, this one has already paid for itself in gas savings alone. Of course it doesn't have the luxury items the Tahoe has, but it is still the most used vehicle in our household.
330,000 later we retired our Merry Oldsmobile!
One radiator, one fuel line, one harmonic balancer, one front axle, and a radio that hated below 20* F weather. Front and rear shocks/struts once or twice. A couple of brake jobs. Drove car from when it had 106,000 miles until 332,000 miles. Wiring to vanity mirror lights was brittle and as well as wiring to driver door power window motor. Trusted every day commuting vehicle with a good amount (not great) of pulling power / torque. Overall 26 MPG on 33/33/33% city/rural/highway driving. Ended up getting several typical repair/maintenance issues converging upon inspection time so we retired the Ciera at that point.
