used car of the day 1991 oldsmobile custom cruiser

We're going with a weird wagon today because, hey, it's Friday. This one is a 1990 Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser.

While there was factory vehicle called the Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser, this one really is custom. For example, there's a Chevy 350 under the hood.

There's also a long, long list of mods in the ad, and the pictures make it clear that this car has been heavily modified.

Even from the factory it was rare -- only 11,000 were made.

This one has an automatic transmission and it needs some interior work.

I'd list all the mods here, but there are just too many.

You're better off clicking here to see the car. The mileage is 214,000 -- the engine might be around 50K -- and it's for sale for $7,000 in Ocala, Florida -- a place I've spent a little bit of time.

If you're so inclined, click over and see it.

Tim Healey

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

Folks, this car is big enough to live in. Dual deal: house and car for $7 large.

  How many palmetto bugs already call the car home?

I like station wagons and like this generation of Olds, Buick, and Chevy wagons but I would not touch this wagon.

Bd2 Do you plan on reporting on the Genesis X Gran Racer VGT?
Hans Shtick "...benefited from the optional adjective dampers..."ALWAYS a good thing to keep reviews from excessive hyperbolic language.

JMII A few weeks ago we looked at Genesis GV60 (wife loved it) and without any prompting the sales guy said he could take $17k off. A few minutes earlier when I inquired about colors and availability (just as test since I already knew the answer) he claimed they didn't have many because they are selling so quickly. Well if that's true then why the discount? turns out they can't give these things away. I fully expect 50% off in 2 years when the leases get returned. I'll happy take a lightly used 70k luxury EV when its only 35k.
SCE to AUX Once the distortions of the uneven new/used subsidies are considered, it's hard to say what's really going on.But lower prices are probably going to be reflected in greater losses for the EV operations of these mfrs. H/K/G may be profitable already (?), and Rivian claims they will be by the end of 2024, but the other non-Tesla operations are all under water.
