Car ran fine until two weeks after purchase, then the problems started.
Car was making a clicking noise every time it shifted gears; I had to accelerate at a very slow pace to keep this from happening.
Then when the car shifted into overdrive, it would jerk, I let off the gas an it was fine.
Took it in and found out that the transmission and timing chain are bad, and now I can't get a hold of the previous owner to ask about these problems.
All in all, it was a great car.
A great car, but the seats weren't the most comfortable.
Not sure how you conclude that a car whose transmission crapped out after two weeks/700 miles was a "great car", but to each his own I guess...
He got the car when it had nearly 200,000 miles on it, so the transmission was worn out. A '94 Ciera is an OK car, but the '89-'93 version was much better as it had the 3.3 liter V6 rather than the 3.1 liter.
Hey I have a 1995 Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera & let me tell you the 3.1 liter is no slouch!! I destroy brand new Hondas, Acuras & other wannabe sports cars on the highway all the time!! That & I get well over 400km to a tank of fuel.
