1989 Oldsmobile Ciera SL review from North America
"Good buy if you know the maintence history"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
1 Fuel pump.
2 alternators.
1 heater blower motor.
1 Water pump at 301000 km.
General comments?
I have had this car for 4 yrs and have to say that this car is awesome. Must have been built on a Wednesday.
Original motor (3.3L), original trany (automatic). Both have never been rebuilt, no dripping or burning of oil either. Power options like seats, cruise, a/c and power steering and brakes never failed yet.
Interior material long lasting as signs of wear for 301000 km not very prominent.
Does like to eat alternators and front brake rotors though.
