1994 Oldsmobile Achieva review from North America
"206,000 miles,still saving me money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Transmission replaced at 105,000, 3 fuel pump replacements last 100,000 miles,3 turn signal switches. replaced belt tensioner at 130,000.
General comments?
206,000 miles and still going strong, engine burns no oil still gets about 30 mpg on highway, only major repair was a transmission rebuild at 105,000 $700.I have had problems with the fuel pump replaced 3 times last 100,000 miles & the turn signal switch seems to be defective replaced 3 times at a cost of $75, other wise this has been a very dependable vehicle, I think I can get at least another 50,000 miles out of it.
