piscespokerbrat Posted March 11, 2013 Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 (edited) Hey everyone! I just bought a '96 Olds CS SL today for $240 (see pics) that im gonna flip as soon as I sort out a few things (a p0301 and a p0118 code). Drove 20 miles home around 85-90 the whole way (oops). This car just gets up and boogies down the road. Other than that, I thought I would join so I could see if anyone has a factory CD radio (want the climate and radio steering wheel controls to work without adding a SWI module). The car is loaded top to bottom with leather, factory fogs, digital climate, 16" alloys, etc.. just no moonroof!!! Other than, I do signs and decals for my bread and butter, I do gourmet coffee international, and I have a cell phone app that pays (pm for more info if wanted). I currently live in the beautiful Black Hills of South Dakota. Edited March 11, 2013 by piscespokerbrat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

z34mightymachine Posted March 11, 2013 Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 Nice Cutty for the price. And Welcome!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piscespokerbrat Posted March 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 Thanks guys! This guy was asking $400.. I hit him at 2.. he said 250.. told him hed have to settle for 240 as I only had a couple of 20's ha ha. I almost feel bad.. but then again, I have owned so many cars in my life that to me its just another hunk of metal.. lol I wish this thing had the moonroof. If it did, I would look into a 5spd swap (if possible...) Did I mention that the Autotragic was rebuilt last year in this thing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_mezz Posted March 11, 2013 Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 Welcome! You did get a steal at that price, they're good cars! Nice color combo too! 3.1? How many miles? Check your coolant, that's a dex-cool car! A magic eraser would work wonders on the door sill and that long door opening molding. And the only problem with the radio in those cars is the knobs always break, if you wind up having to go to a yard for the parts make sure they're good and grab the heater knobs just in case! 5-spd swap would be tough, they didn't make one so the center console will be a challenge. Good luck with it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
runt Posted March 11, 2013 Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 Looks like a pretty decent car for $240! Welcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piscespokerbrat Posted March 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 Ya, this is DEATH-cool car for sure! It has been converted to green thankfully (as well as my 4.3 in my Jimmy). The CS has the 3.1 and 194k on the clock. One thing that has me puzzled was a poof of white smoke that smelled like heavy fuel. I did a compression test today on the engine and that came out fairly normal. The plugs were old, but not wet or indicative of as if moisture is hitting them. I am thinking the intake manifold gaskets (my 4.3 had them fail) at this point. But all in all, that Green Metallic paint really dazzles in the sun!!! I'll have this car detailed down by this weekend, and I will post up better pictures then (all weather depending of course). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RPE1992GPSE Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 Sharp car with some nice options! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piscespokerbrat Posted March 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2013 Well, I sold the CS tonight for $1500. I took about $1085 profit in 4 days time on this car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
