Used 1999 Oldsmobile Cutlass Consumer Reviews
Cutlass
Got this car in March just as a point A to point B car. Rides pretty well with a nice suspension and decent power. Fuel economy has been about 17/25/20.5, which is acceptable. The car is roomy and comfortable, but the build quality is pretty iffy. Had a couple interior trim pieces fall off, and some other loosely attached pieces. Mechanically it has help up pretty good, but a cog in the steering mechanism is off-set, not said to be a serious problem though.
In too deep...
It all started when a girl wrecked into me and the insurance money got me a 1999 Oldsmobile Cutlass. The gypsy dealer was selling it for 3800 and i got it for 2800 with 108K. My friend's dad (also a mechanic) warned me about this car being a lemon but i didn't believe him and it was a bad choice on me. In order...brakes, tires, pulley tensioner, water pump, head gasket, spark plugs and wires 2x, alternator, and now the A/C has gone out. I've spent 3G's on the car and it doesn't even include the $1,500 rims, new headlights, complete stereo system. Im at 125K and im afraid of more things going wrong and I'm only 18 going to college! Stay away from this car!!!
Best Interior Ever - Good Mechanics Too
This car has the worlds best thought out interior ever. From cupholder locations to armrests and distance to the radio, this car makes everything effortless. I used to commute 75 miles to work. This car made it easy. 211k miles and the poor thing finally died. I'd been neglecting a leaky head gasket for a year... apparently the engine can't handle 300degrees... It sure could handle a lot of other abuse.
BAD CAR
BOUGHT THE CAR IN DEC. 22O2 AND HAD TO PUT FRONT BRAKES ON. THEN BATTERY LIGHT AND BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON THEN NOTHING. PUT ALT. ON $414.00 DOLLARS. THEN TWO DAYS LATER SAY THING. BROKE DOWN TWICE IN THREE DAYS WITH MY KIDS WITH ME. NOT HAPPY AT ALL. STILL DON'T KNOW WHATS WRONG THIS TIME
My Alero Fred
I have named my Alero Fred because we have been through so much together. He is the best car I've ever owned; very reliable, smooth ride, and powerful.
