Used 1999 Oldsmobile Intrigue GL 4dr Sedan Consumer Reviews
GM is Intriguing
I bought the car used, it was a rental. It seemed fine at the time (still some warranty left - thank goodness!). A week after purchase a rear power window quit. After a couple months of driving we noticed that on rainy cool nights the inside of the winshield would fog up horribly and the defogger would not clear it very quickly. Fearing a leaking heater core, I took it in but was told it was the control head. Still has the problem to some extent. Other than that it drives nicely and we've had no other problems.

I expected better
I bought this car new and have had the same problems I'd expect from buying a used vehicle with mileage. These are testing my "GM Loyalty". A bad factory windshield replaced 2 days after purchase. Warped rotors were replaced at 19K. The engine smelled of gas at 31K which required replacement of the fuel injector regulator ($400). Eagle LS tires were trashed at 27K. The AM/FM TAPE/CD fader button is broken. The driver'side door sticks. You might think I wouldn't recommend this car. However, since it's lost 2/3 of its purchase price in 4 years I'd say it'd be a good used car value.
Reliable with regular oil changes
Bought this car used with only 7,400 miles on it. I now have 86,000 miles on it and it still runs great. ust follow the maintenance schedule and you'll be fine. I've had to replace the battery twice. But no other issues or extra costs. Changed the oil between 3K and when the change oil light came on. I have to make sure I check the oil levels regularly since it uses about a quart in between every oil change. Comfortable, powerful, and good stock speaker system. Handles smooth and predictable.
This Car Has Given Me Lots Of Problems
I've had this car since a year ago and when I bought it for $2,000. I thought I was getting a steal. Until I drove it al ot and gave it a good test run. Since I've had it I've had too fix the power steering, the timing belt, crankshaft, and the starter. Now I am currently taking it into the shop to get it looked at because yesterday it just died as I was going down the road and when it happened I lost all of my acceleration and it slowly died in the parking lot, now when I try to start it it sound like the starter is spinning but it's just not catching. This car is great! But it also comes with its grief and you'll spend a good amount of money on it.
