I was going to make a similar comment. My dad had an '86 Olds Cutlass Ciera (same car, very slightly different sheet metal) that he bought from a rental car company. He sold it in '91 or so for $400.

He replaced that car with a (I think) 1991 Olds Cutlass Supreme which was even worse. His best Olds was his first - an '83 Omega with an electrical system that shorted out the first day he owned it.

Really a good case study for why so many people started buying Japanese...
