96 olds ciera - super clean

I would have a hard time getting excited over this wagon. Just not my thing...

 

Not my cup of tea so to say but a very fine clean example!

 

Exactly, but you have to admit, for what it is....................

 

I agree. Not very exciting but probably a good little car for someone. And, 30 mpg would make it pretty economical.

 

And people wonder why Oldsmobile went out of business a few years later!

 

Treasure Coast, not too far from me, I'll bet. Okay, it's boring as sin, but I'd swap this money trap 2000 Nissan Xterra for it in a minute. I had the '95 sedan with the 4 cylinder, it was such a trouble free car. I can't keep doing crazy things with cars, my Custom Cruiser is likely my last old car.

 

This is my sorta thing. I can DEFINITELY get excited about a $2800 car with under 50K original miles, ESPECIALLY if it's a three seat wagon, and even if it's front drive. A-bodies are excellent cars and this is the final year of the platform with a modern 3100 engine (they JUST stopped using that engine in what, 2005?), overdrive automatic, antilock brakes, a driver airbag, and it's clean and straight. So many of these rusted out and got abused by kids and fools that they're starting to be a rare sight in some parts of the country.

 

Pretty nice A-body. This one is just plain bread and butter, but with some minor and easy exterior tweaks these can be good looking cars.

The car below was for sale in NM a month or so ago with 71k miles. Original asking price was $2995, but he dropped it to $2500 after a week. It must have sold quickly after that since the ad disappeared. This one had the optional gauge cluster and the rare console and floor shift.

 

That's a pretty one, I always did like the concept of bucket seats and consoles in wagons, and four door hardtops. Never saw a late Cutlass wagon with buckets, nor an earlier one that I recall. I mean factory installed, saw the owner installed.
