Hey All.

Do any of you boys have, or know someone who has, an Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera for sale? Hopefully in good condition with very little rust. The car year could be anywhere from 1988 to 1994, as they are all pretty much the same during that time. Any colour although grey would be best.

Oh, and it has to have the 3.3 litre engine, the smaller ones suck, lol.

If any of you can help, please send me some PMs and we'll discuss it. Thanks in advance for any help you can give me boys ...

That strikes me as being an odd request. I've never thought of the Olds Ciera as being a car that someone would particularly want. Anyway, have you checked the Auto Trader? Three listings as of today.
The Cutlass Ciera is a very comfy, reliable car. Take care of them and they last forever, and they've got tons of trunk and backseat space. Also, if you get one with the 3.3L engine they're a relatively small car with a reasonably large engine, so they've got a *lot* of jump. But they're a nice, family sedan, so the insurance is relatively cheap compared to a lot of other cars, especially now that the '88-'94 model years are all over 15 years old.

So there's a lot of reasons for wanting one ... not the least of which is that my driver has been using them for 12 years and is very used to them, lol.

I already checked the auto trader, but thanks for the hand anyway hon. :)

Not to highjack but, I thought the 3.3 was made only from '90-93?

The 3.3 was much quicker and more fun to drive than the other engnine choices, but it was quite thirsty for fuel and I'm not sure if it's the most reliable choice.

Many +20 year-old cars with the slower 2.8 & 3.1 are still well represented in the garages & parking lots of working class appartment buildings, where as you don't see many 3.3 cars still on the road these days... mid you the purchase prices can be so low that even a few fixes here & there still work out to a good "pay-as-you-go" deal.

However if you're set on it, GM also made Buick Century with that engine in the early 90's and that car was made with almost identical proportions.

There were also a limited number of 3.3 Olds Achieva & Buick Skylarks sold but those cars were much less comfortable.

I wasn't going to post because I didn't wish to be negative, however, I owned a 1985 with a 3.8 (no misprint) and it was a piece of junk.

Three transmissions, two racks and more odds and ends to mention that had to be replaced including the driver door handle coming off in my hands the day I traded it in for a Camry.

Would never recommend that car.

YMMV of course.

However, if anyone took a walking tour of a few of the city's poorest neighbourhoods and made a survey of all cars that are 20 or more years old, they would easily find that GM N-bodies outnumber Camry's at least 15:1 - I seriously doubt they outsold them by such a huge margin.

Auto journalists can be bought, but the road is an incorruptable laboratory and time does not discriminate.

Nothing against the 80's Camry's mind you - I thoroughly enjoyed driving my Grandmother's '89 for a few months while she was out of the country in 1993 - and I'm sure most of those 2nd gen Camry engines would still be running if the rest of the car hadn't rusted around them, something they didn'tt address fully until the mid-90's. Nevertheless it's quite apparent form the numbers on the road that Keyra and her driver are not the only one's to have had a lengthy service life from these vehicles...

I hear you but keeping things in perspective the Camry really came into its own in the late 80's. My 90 2.5 V6 lasted 16 years before the body gave out. Mechanically it was made of aircraft parts.

In '85 the Ciera was built on mass as all of GMs and it was one of the prime reason GM went bust. They built junk. With no offense meant look at how many K cars were sold and they were one of Chryslers biggest pieces of junk. Volume doesn't equate to quality.
