1985 Oldsmobile Cutlass supreme review from North America
"Best car I will ever own and will never get rid of it"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Engine mounts loose.
Heater control switch stuck on high.
Valve cover gaskets, small leaks.
Starter failed.
Water pump replaced.
Carburetor rebuilt.
General comments?
Excellent car to own, handles like a boat, but its worth the comfort it provides. V-6 engine is slightly under powered, but its burns less gas than the v-8.
Reliability is outstanding for the cost and the age of the car (payed $2300 for it)
Never had any major mechanical problems in 8 yrs of ownership, never left stranded anywhere even with a bad carburetor. Moved the car from Virginia to Alaska and it still runs fine at extreme cold conditions.
This is my first and only car I owned and never had any regrets owning it.
