1988 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme Classic review from North America
"Greatest affordable car General Motors ever made"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have owned this car for 16 years and have replaced lots of parts on it, so the list would be extensive, but no more repair cost than what I would have spent on some other cars over the 16 yr period. The one thing that kept going out more than it should was the water pump. That's all. Everything else was replaced just to restore the car.
When I first got the car I had to have a valley pan gasket put on it to keep it from running hot and have the radiator roded out. I just replaced the that radiator last year.
General comments?
This car has been well worth the money I have in it. I have figured it up and it cost me about 1/3 the money I would have spent on getting a new car every 4 years like most people do.
It drive well and rides good. It starts when I hit the switch and I have only been stranded by a dead battery.
Most dependable car I have ever owned. I love and plan to keep it as long as possible.
