Thats Great! If you have been maintaining the car and it does everything you need it to do , keep it. If its been acting up (shifting weird, needs AC work, engine smoking, sloppy handling, etc.) you may want to start looking. Cars built from about 1990 and on have come along way in reliability. Most Cutlasses should get 170-200k before major maintenance is needed.
The Olds Cutlass is a tried and true platform with cheap replacement parts and alot of familiarity with GM and private repair shops.

As long as the car has been maintained well you got at least another 60k on it.I don't know what engine you have but i have a 95 Buick with the 3.8 and i have almost 190k on it and it runs great the good ol n.y salt has started eating some of the lines underneath which i have had a couple of problems with lately but i never have to open the hood for anything but oil changes and an alternator after 4 years and the engine and tyranny are still original.How do i know?Its been in the family since it had 30k on it.I don't expect it to last forever but it hasn't shown any sign of giving up yet!

Don't know. My advice is that you take everything into consideration. Finances, the state you will be moving to, climate, insurance, cost of repairs....
On a personal note I had a 1997 Toyota with 207,000 miles and it runs good too. I was given a 2001 Subaru with less than 50,000 on it. My old car still runs good - it was passed on in the family.

I hope the below helps you out.
Ask yourself these questions and i know you said it runs good. Have you been doing routine maintenance on it on a regular basis-es. Such as oil/tyranny changes and tune ups. Do you know what shape the engine and tyranny, how is the front end, the struts. Have you had any major repaire bills say in the last year.

Well when you add a turbo onto any engine that wasn't built to be turbocharged you are going to greatly decrease its life expectancy... A turbo forces more air into the engine creating more power during combustion, and in turn wearing things out faster. I so no I would not put a turbo on that car.
