WELL, I HAVE A 1984 CUTLASS CIERA "LS". SHE ONLY HAS 24,000 ORIGINAL MILES. HAS NO RUST, NO FADED PAINT, AND NO DAMAGED PARTS ON THE BODY, UNDER THE HOOD, BUT THE INTERIOR CEILING UNFORTUNATELY HAS STARTED TO FALL DOWN (THE CLOTH TOP). I HAD IT REPAIRED ABOUT 10 YEARS AGO AND IT STARTED RECENTLY FALLING AGAIN. WITH ITS MILEAGE, IS IT STILL UNDER SOME TYPE OF WARRANTY? I AM TERRIBLY UPSET YOU GUYS AT GENERAL MOTORS QUIT MAKING THE CIERA, I OWN THE '84 PLUS 8 OTHER CIERAS IN MINT CONDITION WITH EXTREMELY LOW MILEAGE. PLEASE EMAIL ME BACK AND DONT QUIT MAKING OLDSMOBILES. "IM DESPERATE". I'M REAL ANGRY THAT GM IS GOING TO STOP MAKING OLDSMOBILES. LET ME SAY IF THEY QUIT MAKING THEM THEY ARE GOING TO CATCH MAJOR HELL FROM THE PEOPLE WHO BUY THEM. I HAVE ONE LAST QUESTION, WHY DID GM QUIT MAKING THE CIERA? THAT CAR WAS SOLID METAL AND HAD A GREAT STRONG AND CLASSIC BODY STYLE. THATS BULLCRAP THAT OLDAMOBILE HAS STARTED TO MOVE INTO THE PLASTIC STAGE, THAT JUST DISGUSTS ME, JUST LIKE THE PRESIDENT OF GENERAL MOTORS WHO MAKES ME SICKER THAN THE MEANING OF THE WORD SICK! IF RANSOM OLDS HEARD ABOUT THIS HE'D BE SPINNING IN HIS GRAVE. WHY RUIN A 108 YEAR OLD TRADITION OF THE OLDSMOBILE. IT MAKES NO SENSE! PLEASE CONTINUE TO MAKE CARS AND PLEASE MAKE THE DISCONTINUED MODELS COME BACK AGAIN SUCH AS THE CIERA. RIEGELMAN
