great car
This car has been a pleasure to drive and i highly recommend it. The engineering is great. The engine seized up at 101,000 miles on it so we brought to a guy and he put a surplus motor in it with 60,000 miles on it and now the car runs strong as an ox. The repair cost was 4,000 but the guy guarantees the motor for another 100k miles and we have no doubt it will last longer.
Underrated car/excellent used bargain...
Used-car sleeper. Very distinctive (few on the road; bargain on the used market due to death of Olds). Similar to $50k Caddy STS; mine stickered over $40k, but I got it used w/27k miles for $17k). Styling? love it or hate it (I LOVE it). Base is loaded, few options. Mechanically, hit-or-miss (GM build quality issues). Mine, other than water pump, has been mechanically solid (was for the 1st owner - check maintenance history!). Lots of technology - a third-party extended warranty is recommended.
Dream Car
This is the finest automobile I have EVER owned. It is also the best looking car GM ever produced!!
Comfort Plus
Perhaps the best-priced, luxury sedan on the market today. Excellent balance between comfort, power. Suprisingly good fuel economy. Egonomically, nearly perfect. Excellent reliability during its first 100K of life. Would buy another one in a heartbeat.
Aurora
I have had to problems with this car that I felt Olds should of addressed with at least some assistance. Air conditions unit went out at 70000 miles dealer wanted $1200.00, A repair shop down the street charged me $595.00 The radiator is of poor design allowing road debre to collect in the fins. Almost impossible unit to clean of flush. Will have to replaced in 2003
