Oldsmobile Aurora for Sale

Edmunds' Expert Review

by the Edmunds Experts

Pros

Sophisticated power plant, sumptuous interior, comfortable ride.

Cons

Poor resale value, build quality not quite up to that of the competition.

What’s new

The V6 has been dropped in the final year of production making the Aurora one of the few V8-only sedans on the market. Two new exterior colors -- Bordeaux Red and Steel Blue -- have also been added for the Aurora's going-away party.

Edmunds says

The best soon-to-be-discontinued sedan on the market.

GM's best is now gone

Last Olds, 03/18/2006

2003 Oldsmobile Aurora 4.0 4dr Sedan (4.0L 8cyl 4A)

Why shoud GM sell Auroas when people will by the same car for $15,000 more just to have a Cadillac wreath on it. I love my Aurora. It get's great milage and has a smooth and powerful V8 engine. It's quiet, fun to drive, and completly trouble free. It is GM's best kept secret.

2003 Oldsmobile Aurora 4.0 4dr Sedan (4.0L 8cyl 4A)

Had this baby since 2007--still going strong with 79,000 miles! Tune-ups and oil changes have been regular--no major repairs to speak of. Great car-great styling and great performance! I only wish they still made the Aurora :( I can only imagine what a 2018 would look like!!!

I'm very happy with my Aurora!

2002 Oldsmobile Aurora 3.5 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 4A)

I've owned my Olds for 3 years and I have to say it's the best car I've ever had! It's very comfortable to drive, especially on 3 day road trips. I get 33mpg (highway driving). Amazing what high octane fuel and K&N air filters can do for mileage and passing power! It's very safe/stable driving on highways or in the city in all whether conditions be it be rain, ice or blizzard. I can't …

Why buy an import

sdagostin, 09/24/2003

2003 Oldsmobile Aurora 4.0 4dr Sedan (4.0L 8cyl 4A)

This car has been absolutely reliable. Not one penny in two years/30,000 miles. The styling is unique and attractive. The fact that there are few of them on the road makes it a much more distinctive look and a head turner. The leather interior and the seating make it extraordinarily comfortable to drive. The Bose sound system is as good or better than any other …
