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
