94blackvert Posted June 11, 2012 Report Posted June 11, 2012 New to the w body from just north of Dayton, Ohio (Tipp City). Picked up a black/black/charcoal '94 3.4 Cutlass Convertible with 131,000 miles for my wife Saturday morning and we have already logged around 400 miles with it. It drives out pretty good! Worse MPG's than I would have thought...but oh well. I noticed the "low coolant" light flickering, but everything was A OK and running at normal temps (bad coolant sensor?). Has a torn drivers seat and bad rear 1/4 window swipes but other than that its a great car and the wife couldn't be happier! Heck, even the a/c works VERY well....to my surprise. I checked the timing belt....its pretty new. Along with other gaskets and seals. New suspension pieces, all done by the previous owner. Anyway, good to be here.... -Shaun and Cathy Quote
Night Fury Posted June 11, 2012 Report Posted June 11, 2012 Welcome! You just missed a huge meet in Toledo! Quote
ManicMechanic Posted June 11, 2012 Report Posted June 11, 2012 Welcome from a former Daytonian and former 'vert owner as well. Quote
94blackvert Posted June 11, 2012 Author Report Posted June 11, 2012 That figures Night Fury! We went the other way...took a trip out to Hocking Hills. Thanks ManicMachanic...was pretty hot here in Dayton this weekend, the wife and I both got our 'vert tans (burns) goin on....legs, arms and face. Quote
Night Fury Posted June 11, 2012 Report Posted June 11, 2012 Ahahha! I miss getting a sunburn in my vert... shoulda never sold it. It was very minty. Quote
ManicMechanic Posted June 11, 2012 Report Posted June 11, 2012 I miss mine as well on occasion. I heard it was pretty hot there, just got done chatting with my mom of whom lives in Lewisburg, not far from you. Was really hot here in Austin, Texas as well. Post up some pics of your 'vert. Quote
94blackvert Posted June 11, 2012 Author Report Posted June 11, 2012 Yep....probably can't complain about heat to a person living in Texas! I'll try to get some pics up in the next couple days. Quote
94 olds vert Posted June 11, 2012 Report Posted June 11, 2012 Welcome to the forum! There is lots of good info on this board. I'd love to see some pictures of your ride. The low coolant sensors on the radiator like to go bad. It's pretty easy to replace. Quote
