1988 Oldsmobile Ciera International Series review from North America
"Judge on the side of caution when looking at these cars"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Engine seized after 980 miles (20 miles under the warranty)
The dealer gave me a hard time about fixing the car, saying it was too expensive. I had to remind him it was under warranty. Only after the threat of legal action, did I get a car to replace this one.
General comments?
It handled well for the little time that I had it, and there was more than enough power to get the car moving. I cannot judge the car as bad, as they are mostly reliable, but I will never buy a car from that dealer again.
