Purchased car 4 years ago here in Tucson with 90,000 miles for $3000. Have driven it 45,000 miles and kept it well maintained. These cars are an outstanding value in terms of cost per mile. They are comfortable, fast and fully equipped. Fuel mileage has been 30 mpg highway and 25 city consistently with the AC running. GM parts are readily available and service/repair techs have seen them before. They're not exotic cars. Probably in these four years I've spent another 2,000 to 3,000 on tires, brakes, struts, and ordinary upkeep to accomplish those 45,000 miles. If you must have a new car there are plenty of dealers. If not there are plenty of used ones to shop. You might make a really good deal.

I had looked for one of these for over a year and finally got it! This car is quite rare and is a blast to drive. It will out perform 95% of the cars out there. I've driven Mustangs that don't even come close to this speed machine. I like the combinaton of comfort, speed, and features. This car has it all and I don't feel cramped like I do in a Vette. The best thing is the sleeper affect. Its a full size sedan that looks like a typical big car. The looks an peoples faces when I smoke them is priceless. If you like speed but much rather have a big car than a sports coupe than this is for you. Heck, its faster than lots of sports coupes anyways.
Great Car

I bought this car to haul 5 people and reliability. It surpasses my expectations with both. Get's 31 mpg on highway and 25 around town. The V6 has great power for passing.

I have over 1000,000 miles with very little trouble. at the 100,000 mark I did put about $1000 into it, but that is not bad or over 6 years. I wish they would not stop making them.

we bought this as a nine year old car with only 75,000 km on it (42,000 miles). it has been a very good car with only routine maintenance and very few minor repairs ie brakes/wheel bearing etc. very good gas mileage for size of car and is comfortable to drive as well. not the most "exciting" car to look at but does look sharp when it is shined up.
Lots of car for little money

I bought my Olds LSS with 94k miles on it as replacement for my trusty commuter Olds Cutlass Supreme, which died on me at 230k. I didn't really like it at first because of very soft suspension. But ones got used to, it became positive future since I commute 3 hours a day. Now I have 169k miles and car still going strong. The only problem I had with this car was AC clutch. 500 dol. and 2 days later car is back on the road and performing well. I should mention synthetic oil change every 6000 miles. And I'm getting around 28mpg on freeway. GM can build reliable, efficient, luxury cars and you can buy them cheap..
I love this car

I bought it brand new in January of 1997, and it's a wonderful car. Full of creature comforts on the inside, and a smooth, powerful ride. I like to drive fast, so I nick-named it the Silver Bullet. My only gripe is that at the 50,000 mile mark it began requiring expensive maintenance (wheel bearings, new A/C, new water pump), but I still love it.

Good solid ride with load leveing rear supension. Very nice interior equal to the Cadillac STS. The 240 Hp supercharged engine will out perform the 300 Hp Cadillac Northstar. Highway milage at 75MPH is 30 to 32 MPG which is better than shown on the stickerwhich shows 29MPG. The only negative comment is the head lights are not good as my Chev. Tahoe. It's too bad GM decided to eliminate this model as I would have bought another one. If interested Pontiac.Buick and the Chevy Impala have the same 3.8 litre supercharged engine but I feel the interiors are not equal to the Olds LSS.
Fun Car

In 60K miles of driving we've only had to replace the fuel pump, sender unit and tires. For a car of its size, the LSS has excellent ride, handling and comfortable seating. At over 35 miles per Imperial gallon, gas mileage is also excellent for a car with this power and size. A great car.

We have a 97 LSS S/C just going on 160,000 miles now. Original motor, original transmission. The previous owner did not do a tuneup until 140,000 miles when we bought it. It was not maintained well but runs like new after we gave it a tuneup and replaced some parts like the thermostat and brakes.
Nice car

This car is a sleeper with lots of horsepower. The 3.8L V6 is a rock- solid engine. It gets great gas mileage, too.

Have a 1997 Olds LSS 32,000 miles. Need tail lenses for both sides. Some cosmetic stuff inside. Vacuum diagrams and stuff for heat/AC ventilation problems. Defrost, Lower, Floor. Not switching over to other levels. Steel hub covers not the plastic kind. Parts for this car are hard to find.
Wonderful car

I think this vehicle is the best car I have ever driven. I can't think of one thng that I dislike on my car. If you ever get a chance, buy one. They don't make cars like this anymore.
10 years old and and still wonderful

I love this car! It has never let me down. Never been towed and never fails to start and run perfectly. Safe, comfortable, and fun. Great ergonomics, everything about it is convenient. Lower insurance rates than most comparable cars.
