I was just thinking

[ddp127]

Reading through these posts, seeing the old cars and the Delaware Valley Olds Club sure made me think about my old Cutlass, an '85 Cutlass Supreme Broughan Coupe. Boy I miss that car, never should've gotten rid of it. I bought it for a grand with 116.000 miles on it, and sold it for a grand 3 years later with 180,000 miles on it. Not too shabby if I say-so myself (and I probably am!!!)

Just made me think if I'd have kept it, and was able to keep it running, what kind of mileage I'd have on it? The cars after the Cutlass and their mileage...

'95 LHS, bought at 79,000, wrecked at 125,000 (probably the best thing that ever happened to me!!!) 46,000 miles.

'92 LeSabre, bought at 90,000, gave to my brother at 110,000. 20,000 miles.

'95 LeSabre, bought at 95,000, traded in on truck at 103,000. 8,000 miles.

'03 Silverado 2500HD, bought at 47,000, traded in on Pontiac at 93,000. 46,000 miles.

'06 Grand Prix, bought at 9 miles, not even 3 weeks ago, already have 1,800 miles. So I'll go with 1,800 miles.

Let's see...180,000 + 46,000 + 20,000 + 8,000 + 46,000 + 1,800 = 301,800 miles on it if I'd have kept it.

Couple months ago I got an email from my dad while I was at work, my old Cutlass turned 200,000 miles. It only took him 3 years to put 20,000 miles on it. I'd have that done in 7-8 months.

Darn I sure miss that car. Here's a pic of her at her "new house," in front of the dorms at school. I have it hosted at imageshack, otherwise it'd be too big for the screen here and would mess up reading the forums.

Sure miss it!!

Nice Cutlass Supreme.. They were hot sellers and held their value back then.

Offer a buyback

1985 was a good year for Oldsmobile, one of the last good years.
