1991 Oldsmobile Ciera SL review from North America

Water Pump at 55,000 and again at 92,000 miles $450 x 2.

Exhaust Manifold replaced at 85,000 miles $600.00.

Change over A/C, with New Compressor, dryer, low pressure pipe $718.00 at 91,000 miles.

Alternator R/R at 92,000, $236.00.

Brakes R/R Front at 52,000, rear at 72,000 miles including new rear drums, both approx. $450.00.

The car gets 25 mpg here in town and 30 mpg with A/C on the interstate and up to 35 mpg w/o the A/C.

The car has been very reliable and rather cost efficient until it hit 90,000. Then within the next 3,000 miles, it was about $1,800 bucks.

It starts every morning and is most reliable to get me to work or errands and is comfortable to drive on trips to NC.

It has failed on the road only 2 times in 94,000 miles and that was battery and water pump. All the other service was done where I drove the car to the garage.

The headlining needs replacing as it is turning loose from the roof, est. another $150.00 bucks. Seats wearing some on the drivers side and have to get some repair there.

I bought the car from my mom and it sat for the biggest part of 2 years without being driven or serviced so it had some miss-treatment at about 52,000 miles.

I have put 40,000 plus and it really is a good car and I would buy another...Jeff.
