1989 Oldsmobile Cutlass International 2.8 Multiport from North America
Summary:
Rather of purchased it new, but love it the same
Faults:
I have replaced the alternator twice.
Had to replace the clutch.
Needed ball joints when I purchased it.
Changed the water pump, upper radiator hose, and the heater core.
The driver information system crapped out on me, changed that also, the electronic climate control did not function when I purchased the vehicle, changed that too.
Crank sensor went within a month of buying it.
The seal where the distributer hole plug is leaked profusely.
Brakes went at 180,000.
Power Steering pump went at 184,789, the front seal blew out and it pukes fluid on the ground.
General Comments:
Other than the many bugs, which can be expected of a vehicle with high mileage, it has been a very good car to me.
It never had no problem reaching the shutoff speed of 116 in no time at all.
Under normal driving, it got approx 23-28 mpg, be even when you got on it, it still had decent gas mileage.
The seats rock, wish I could take them out and put them in my Concorde.
Will miss the climate controls on the steering wheel.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

Most of your repairs are to be expected with the amount of miles on your car.
