1994 Oldsmobile Cutlass SL 3.1 from North America
Summary:
This car is a great car, and I am sorry to hear that they will no longer be making them!
Faults:
Front wheel bearing has always had a growl.
I have had problems with the auto down window on the driver's door.
The back passenger door electric window works randomly.
My wipers quit working, but if I put the left turn signal on they work.
The tilt steering has become loose, and the steering wheel wiggles in a certain position.
General Comments:
This car has been an excellent car for me other than the problems listed above. And problems like these should be expected, after all this car is 10 years old.
The car has plenty of power, and it's fuel economy it great.
It rides nicely down the road, but the seats could have been designed a little better for comfort.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

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?
