1988 Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser
HI everyone,
I just picked up a 1988 olds custom cruiser, with only 43,000 miles on it. and i have a few questions.
Here is the CL ad if you want pics, http://longisland.craigslist.org/cto/4054762685.html
It needs a tune up, any recommended parts for the plugs/wire/cap&rotor/oil
does it have a carburetor? i couldn't tell, i thought nearly all cars had Fuel injection by this point.
Anything i should check for wear and tear?
passenger side rear wheel well and a bit of the rocker has rotted, you can see it in the last pic, the trim hanging down appears to be as far as it extends. any estimates on what it will cost to fix? how about to patch?
A/C does not work, no sounds, clutch not spinning, there's a unplugged wire hanging right by it. anyone know where it plugs in?
Can i go to synthetic oil, how much does it take?
Headliners sagging, which I have learned to be pretty standard for these cars. What does it usually cost to fix?
there's a exhaust leak at something called the doughnut or the "O" on the exhaust, what is it, and any guesses on how to fix.
also anyone have a place where i can get a set of matching hubcaps cheap, i have 2 wires, one flat/dog bowl and one missing.
i got it for 1150, so i have about a grand to fix whatever, what do you recommended i do first.
Thanks,
