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.
Will not die
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.
Where do you get Parts?
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.
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..
