I had to replace the alternator 3 times since the original one went bad.
The water pump went at 150K.
Front Stabilizer links broke at 200K.
As much of a bad wrap as I've gotten over the years for owning a "granny car", this car is awesome. I still get 30 miles per gallon highway at 200,000 miles. The car runs like a top. It leaks no oil and the transmission still performs like it did 15 years ago. If you ever run across one of these cars used and know it was taken care off, buy it, you'll be glad you did.
It has plenty of power to climb hills and such yet it is not a gas guzzler.
It's a shame GM discontinued the Oldsmobile, it was one of the best and most reliable cars they ever put out.
GM dropped Olds because GM lost its mind!!!
A follow-up to my review listed above... at 253,000 miles, the head gasket finally went on the engine. Needless to say after seeing the motor oil bubbling around in my antifreeze overflow tank, I decided to bury the old gal. It just wasn't worth the money to fix it. I doubt I'll ever see a car this reliable again, especially a domestic model.
If you can get your hands on a well-kept used Olds made between 1987 and 1990, pick it up, it will be a good value for you. A sad day indeed to finally junk this car...
