We replaced and oxygen sensor, spark plugs, oil, cables, air filter, and fuel filter the day after we bought it.
We bought this car only 2 weeks ago and we already love it. It is comfortable to be in and it drives like a dream and it will get up and go even with a small 6 cylinder in it. The car does have a dent in the back passenger side panel, though it is very small and it has been repaired from an accident where the person who painted it used 1 shade different from the blue on the rest of the car. I would like to know if 2,200$ for this car at 122k miles was too much or a great deal. And if there are any things I should know to watch out for.
Hello,
I just bought a 1989 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme International Series for $1,450 and it has 115950 miles on it. I bought this car from a man who babied it for 12 years and it is like brand new inside and out. I absolutely love it! I would say that what you paid for your Oldsmobile wasn't considerably high, but even with the dent, I myself would not have paid more than $900 for it especially with 122k miles. Another thing that gets me is why did General Motors discontinue the advanced futuristic design of the Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme's dashboard and other great features that would be essential for the 21st century? Anyways, good luck with your new car.
I owned one of these in the past, and recently bought a new one. I'm sorry to say, and I don't want to sound like a jerk, but you paid way, way, way, too MUCH money for that car. Despite the fact that the Cutlass is a great car as far as comfort and reliability, the real money value of these cars are VERY low. Last week I purchased one in mint condition for my sister for $600 with 63k, and the one that I owned had approx 138k on it and I purchased it for $450. One thing I should mention is that I purchased these from private owners.
I could justify an Olds Cutlass Ciera selling for around the $1200 ballpark, at a used car dealership with no more than 100k. Like I said, I don't want to sound like a jerk, but I have worked in the auto industry for several years, both in sales and service, and I just wanted to give the straight facts.
