Mine was purchased (I went in halfsies with my parents) in 1998 with 75K miles. I drove it through college and got it up to 130K before saying good-bye. Before the end, I had the alternator go bad, twice, the transmission commit suicide, the dashboard display (digital spedometer, gas level, milage, etc) become unreadable, and the driver side window (power of course) reach a point where it could not open more than 4 inches.
Hopefully my Alero is more reliable than your old Cutlass. So far, so good. I've had it for 7 months and I haven't had a problem with it yet. It's a really fun car to drive too. I missed owning a car with a manual transmission. I think my wife secretly gets jealous and wants to drive my car, but she can't drive a manual and has thus far refused all of my offers to teach her.
