"Nice mix of comfort, performance, and value"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Nothing. I just spent money to repair some paint scratches from previous owner. Car runs like new mechancally.

General comments?

As far as convertibles that the average person can own, the Cutlass Supreme has to be the most underrated car of the 90's. You can actually fit 4 adults comfortably AND this car is quick. Think of it as an older Sebring with some much needed balls in the engine. Make sure this car has the DOHC engine.

I have to admit that I love this car and think it's the best looking American convertible ever made, However it been an expensive toy for me as I drive that hell out of it.

Added up my bills last night and found I've spent over $8K on repairs and routine maintenance since I've owned it. I purchased it in 99 with 40k on the odometer. Around 65k it needed the new timing chain, belts and hoses. The parts didn't likk me it always been the labor costs.

Just turned 100k and and considering restoring the whole thing from the ground up and driving it till I die.

Need a place to find instructions on simple repairs. Anyone know of an internet site that will show the novice mechanic step by step instructions for minor problems and trouble shooting?

Haynes Catalog is $15.88 at Auto-zone, I to have the DOHC motor and have to admit they are a pain to work on and much cheaper if you learn to do the work yourself. Timing belt is around five hours and the shops charge over 80 an hour around here. Considering a Honda is only 2 hours that is a huge difference. The frigging alternator requires removal of a drive axle for cripes sake, Oh well you gotta pay to play, and 200+hp in 1994 from a V-6 is pretty good.
