1987 Oldsmobile Cutlass FE3 review from North America
"Best car I ever bought for four hundred dollars"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I had to replace the Alternator. Thank you to the parts store for selling re-manufactured parts at half the price. (59.95) The glass was broken in Drivers side door. I replaced it myself and it took about an hour to figure out how it went in, but it was pretty easy. The power sunroof motor blew as I was closing it so now its stuck in an almost closed position.
General comments?
The seats in this car make you feel like your in your favorite chair at home. Nothing crowds against you as you drive, but the armrest isn't too far away that you have to lean to use it. This car gets up and goes when you need it to, but cruises along just fine when you want a relaxing ride.
