What Owners are Saying About the 1998 Oldsmobile Cutlass
"Pretty Reliable"
"I bought this car used for $1,200 and it had only 98,000 miles on it. I mean it is a decent and reliable car I must admit. Especially if you’re driving short distances. It even drives good cruising on the highway. I drove it from Florida to California. I’ve driven from Los Angeles to San Francisco. But ya know at around 100,000 miles, it starts needing replacement parts. I’ve replaced the alternator, water pump, starter, spark plugs, muffler, tires, and among other smaller things. I mean I’ve probably spent over $800 on repairs. But those repairs are usually spread out. It runs good for like 4 or 5 months then another problem comes up. It’s a decent car, honestly lasted me the longest so far. One of the last reliable Oldsmobile’s though. Decent car. Oh yeah. Hard to use computer reader though. Because this was between OBD I. and OBD II. But good car, electric seats, electric windows."
"Great Car. Conver Coupe, love style,color,comfort"
"I love my Chevy Cutlass Convertible Coupe. The style and color is why I purchased the car. It is very comfortable. This car is fully loaded. Head of the class for the year of 1993. I am the third owner. Keeping up with routine maintenance is the key to kept this car running smoothly. Also will avoid large cost of repairs down the road. I routinely change the oil & oil filter, air filter, coolant hoses, brakes, battery, wiper blades, tires, drive belt, and had transmission services. Never did transmission flush. Just replaced the original alternator on 02/11/17. To protect my car from damage caused by snow and salt, I parked in the garage. If you buy this car from someone who kept up on the routine maintenance this car will last for a long time."
"Best Vehicle Ever"
"Bought my Cutlass used at 52,000 miles. Now has 155,500 miles on it. Eleven years old and still runs and drives great. Never any major problems. I have never kept a car this long in my life (57 Years old) and Is the best car I have ever owned. Would buy another one in a minute."
