1985 Oldsmobile Cutlass supreme 3.8L from North America
Summary:
Best car I will ever own and will never get rid of it
Faults:
Engine mounts loose.
Heater control switch stuck on high.
Valve cover gaskets, small leaks.
Starter failed.
Water pump replaced.
Carburetor rebuilt.
General Comments:
Excellent car to own, handles like a boat, but its worth the comfort it provides. V-6 engine is slightly under powered, but its burns less gas than the v-8.
Reliability is outstanding for the cost and the age of the car (payed $2300 for it)
Never had any major mechanical problems in 8 yrs of ownership, never left stranded anywhere even with a bad carburetor. Moved the car from Virginia to Alaska and it still runs fine at extreme cold conditions.
This is my first and only car I owned and never had any regrets owning it.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Don't Know

I can top that. I own a 1985 Olds Cutlass Supreme with less than 60,000 miles on it and only payed 200 bucks for it!

I got my 85 Old's from my Grandma for a $1 in 1999. It had 45,000 original miles. I have driven it across country and have put about 65,000 miles on it. I am currently putting a LT1 from a Camaro in it. She was the original owner and as far as I am concerned it will stay in the family for future generations to enjoy. Its my Poor mans Cadillac and by far the best car I have ever owned.
