$2000 isn't too bad for a car that rare.....possibly the only buick cutlass in existance. somebody should ****** it up!!!!

"needs a battery and a tune up"....

translation - "doesn't always start, has electrical problems, runs like crap, & i havn't done anything except drive and beat on this car"

Maybe it is an Oldsmobuick:

Definition 1 - "Piece-of-*hit car driven by the divorce lawyer of Fletch's ex-wife."

Definition 2 - "A word coined by Fletch to describe any large American sedan. Many models by Oldsmobile, Buick, Chevrolet, Lincoln, Chrysler, and Ford in the 60s-80s were virtually indistinguishable. 'Oldsmobuick' is the useful generic term for this type of vehicle. In the 90s, these sedans became less boxy, but it is still difficult to tell one manufacturer's model from the other. Thus the term 'Oldsmobuick' still applies."

So they are selling this one of a kind "Buick" simply because they are a college student and the car looks old....

Some people.

Yes, this is what came to my mind and I would have brought up if you hadn't first.

he's telling me he'll text pics in a few hours when he get's out of work, but i wanted to share the convo we've had so far, it's kinda funny:

me: any pics of the cutlass??

him: yes

me: please text them to me, thanks!!

(no reply for 15 min)

me: did you forget about me??

him: no i am not at home rite now i can send u the pix around 4 when i get home from work i apologize

me: no problem, by your ad it sounded like you could send them immediately, no problem

him: i will send you pics around that time. but by your cell # it doesn't seem like you are in the texas area, cuz i stay in fresno TX and i don't accept checks, i will not travel

me: i'd be sending a trailor with cash if i end up wanting it

him: okay, i'll send you pics ASAP

me: thanks....i don't shine shoes, i don't tape ankles, i don't write checks - straight cash homie!!!

him: alright cool
i crack myself up sometimes, i almost feel evil......the last part about shining shoes & taping ankles is a quote that randy moss made to the press after a game a few years back, priceless. pics will be posted soon!!

i just read your engine dyno thread....u mention $1600 cost for the alternator, brackets, and pulley's....i'm guessing that's the Mondello rip off setup?? i'm not knocking the setup, i think it's badass, but i also think they make about $600-800 everytime they sell a complete setup. i cannot see those parts costing THEM more than $800. i offered them $1200 for everything (no AC) and they said no. i can't justify that much cash on a pulley/bracket system.

Yeah that's it...it is a rip off, but man you should see it on the car lol! It is really nice, and I couldn't make it myself. It's one of those things I prolly wouldn't do again but I'm glad I was dumb enough to do it once lol!

Oh yeah, I really want that whole Mondello accessory setup...maybe one day if I have some cash to blow I'll take the dive. I always seem to find other things more worth the money, but damn it looks sexy and not many people have it.


Here's the sacred Buick Cutlass:

OMG a 93 Cutlass Ciera SL. Body looks to be in good shape. What else did you find out? That was the top o the line Cierra in 93 and could have a 2.2 DOHC or the Buick 3.3 engine. Maybe he's looking at the engine lable? During those years, I can't remember if they left the division nameplates on the engine or not.

He said it was a 95, needs battery belt and a "tune-up"...starts and drives. Probably only needs filters changed, plugs, wires, fuel system cleanse, fluids flushed. Actually isn't a bad deal if all is well.

Was thinking the same thing...He say how many miles on it or an OBO? More important, does he have title?

I'd buy that and have a new daily driver.

Not a bad looking car. Probably needs a new Lower Intake manifold gasket though. Meh $120 and a few hours of my time

Has ABS and needs a belt, NOW!! Look at the alternator and PS Pump. If it had a belt, you would see it on the PS Pump and alt, not the groves

Good eye Redog! Anything else?? That's gotta prove that it wasn't running as he said. Price just dropped to 1500.

Buick Cutlass...well as much as GM shared components and changing only sheet metal, I suppose that this could be the epitome of the "Oldsmobuick" Olds Cutlass Ciera, Buick Century, same thing.

That thing ain't going to be driven anywhere without a belt on the PS and alternator.!!! Maybe it DID drive good at one time, but not when that picture was taken.

Count on the serpentine belt tensioner being shot too. May have helped with the loss of belt. Bearing siezes and fries the belt.

Tensioner is pretty easy to do. $38 part and a 15mm bolt. They do go after 100,000 miles though

Looking at that engine again I see the following.
  • Alternator is new or at least newer.
  • Coolant is full which means either a LIMG was leaking and dude filled it up or it's just been driven before the pic was taken, but it looks overfilled to me
  • Upper manifold is very clean, possible finger prints on it meaning LIMG was just done
  • Looks like the throttle cable is over by the battery, and nowhere near the Throttle Body
  • bolt missing on pass side upper strut mount
  • power steering pully has a small chip in it could be nothing, could be the start of a crack
