1994 Oldsmobile Cutlass SL 3.1

Summary:

I love this car, period

Faults:

I have had to replace the serpentine belt, and it is due for some brake pads on the rear.

General Comments:

This was my mother's car. I have just inherited it from her estate. This car was her baby and she really took good care of it. She did not drive it that much. During the last 2 years she did not drive at all.

The car was taken care of by my sister, who had it serviced at the GM dealership where she works. The car is great to drive, runs and looks like it is almost new, other than a few scrapes etc. (which will soon be taken care of).

It has the 3100 engine, which has decent power, but I would rather have the 3.4. Still, can't complain.

"It has the 3100 engine, which has decent power, but I would rather have the 3.4. Still, can't complain."

- An easy solution to this problem... take & trade it for one that has the 3.4.

Might wanna be careful. If a vehicle has been sitting for that long, it may need some parts replaced just because of sitting for so long. Things like bushings and shocks don't do well without exercise. And actually, the entire car benefits from getting used regularly. Just like the human body, a car really needs exercise too.

If you had the 3.4 you would complain.

1994 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme 3.4L DOHC

Summary:

Great styling and performance. A great convertible!

Faults:

A/C pulley had to be replaced because it was making a noise.

General Comments:

Great car! Excellent car all around fun! Future classic!

This car is worth the cost to keep on the road and enjoy. Take it to a car show with the top down and enjoy!

Low production numbers make this car a perfect candidate to be a classic with only 8,160 convertible produced, and not too many had the 3.4l.

1994 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme 2.4

Summary:

The Bomb

Faults:

Have had very little problems with my Cutlass. Only thing is more power. Take care of it and you've got Gold.

Get an MDS Air intake along with a Glass Pack, and it will increase the power and torque, and make you happy.

1994 Oldsmobile Cutlass Limited Edition Convertible 3400DOHC

Summary:

Already looking around for another one to drive daily

Faults:

Alternator was replaced at 48,000 miles.

Starting to see a few drips around top of windows when it rains.

Most puzzling problem now is power locks will start jumping up and down in unison while driving down the road and sometimes while parked with the engine off. Sometimes locks will not work at all by use of the button on the doors or from the key fob... when this happens either the overhead light on the roll bar will remain on or one of the lights on the rear-view mirror will remain on. This usually lasts for a couple hours and then all is fine until the next time. This problem has also caused the keys to be locked in the car at least twice... once running and once with the engine off. This has also killed the battery overnight on 3 occasions.

Not able to find many interior or exterior trim parts except at a local salvage yard and most of those are in worse shape then the parts you have.

A/C is only blowing cool air even though it is showing proper pressures on the high and low sides and was topped off with freon. Looking into that now.

General Comments:

Love the classic styling of this car... for sure will be a classic.

Mechanically has never let me down, but my mechanic hates to work on it... rear plugs hard to get at, have to take the wheel off to replace the alternator, etc...

Have yet to see another Limited Edition, so not sure if the Black Leather seats with red and white leather inserts is original in my white car with a black cloth top. Grey carpet that matches the floor is on the door panels, and has the factory Oldsmobile floor mats.

Did I say I love this car... always get positive comments when I drive her somewhere, and people get to look her over.
