1986 Oldsmobile Cutlass Salon from North America - Comments

Right now the transmission is going.

The fuel gage used to be broken so the car always ran out of gas and died.

The engine drops a cylinder at idle.

The car needed paint, tires, full tuneup, fuel pump, shocks, etc. because the car had been sitting for a year.

Over the summer the brake lines rusted out and I ended up replacing the lines and pads, and I got the drums and rotors cut.

I also put in new shocks and and bushings around the same time.

The front end needs to be aligned because the car dives under hard braking and the calipers are shot as well.

I replaced the battery because it drained itself of fluid.

I also replaced the alternator.

I love this car, but it has become a money pit.

I bought the car for $850 and have put at least $900 into it.

I'm selling it because the transmission is on it's last legs and I don't have the money to repair it.

One day I hope to buy a 1987 Oldsmobile Cutlass 442.

This is a fun car, but I wouldn't recommend it unless you lave lots of money and are a good mechanic.

My dad bought a 1986 cutlass Salon and in the last two years it has been past onto me. The car, as an 1986, is 19 years old. The only thing we've done to the car is fixed the radiator because it leaked, changed a couple of batteries because they went bad, changed an altinator because it wore out and now just lately we put new rubber brake lines on the front. This car has over 300 000 kilometers on it.

I don't know what happened to your car or who owned it, but it seems like they tourcherd it a bit.

I own a cutlass supreme brougham and never had a problem with it it has a 307 in it and with only 89k and like I said never had a problem with my car.
