just picked up a 96 cutlass ciera wagon off craigslist for $300.
People are really eager to bargain when a rear power window is stuck down, and they've fixed it with plastic bags and duct tape! The wind noise/flapping was as loud as you'd imagine at 55 mph.
Has the 3100, intake manifold gaskets done already, and 146k on the clock. Had to do a brake line and a tiny amount of metal patchwork to pass inspection. Oh, and two tires which I picked up at the junkyard and mounted myself. The 14 inch plastic aftermarket hubcaps only have 4 lugnuts; they couldn't imagine a 5-lugger being that small, LOL.
With a 4 speed automatic I expect >30 MPG driven lightly. Oh, and it seats eight! Name any other vehicle that does this!
These things only weigh 2700-2800 lbs so they scoot along. Body rigiditiy is circa 1982; can hear the doors creak in their frames when it flexes.
Headliner is coming down; wife will dig through her fabric stash for something groovy and we'll reglue with something other than "mouse fur".
Oil is 2000 miles old so will leave it in for now. Has a touch of the piston slap starting up which clears up quickly enough.
When the title comes will probably sell this heap to a rural delivery mailman; they seem to love these things up here.
I blacked out the chrome grill with spraypaint; think it looks way more sporty that way.
