my experience has been excellent. since i had this car i have spent about $2000. dollars on repairs. The car has been serviced every 3000 miles. people are always remarking about how well it looks both inside and out. we love the way way it rides.
A Solid Family Hauler
This van is nicely equipped, and the 3800 V6 is good for 250,000 miles. Even with 82,000 miles on it, it starts up without hesitation and runs like a top. It is comfortable for all 5 of us. The power door is a disaster - just forget about using it with power. Otherwise, a worthy family hauler.
My merry Oldsmobile
We enjoyed using the van for cross country trips and local jaunts to play golf and haul plants, etc. Our next car/van must have the adjustable driver's seat, the power sliding door, the outside temperature gauge, etc. We have had costs to repair at 80,000 miles and about 95,000. We plan to keep it yet, for awhile.
Great Oldsmobile.
Bought a fully loaded lumina van in late 93. It was the new 94 style just hitting the market. But in the summer of 96 we had a bad head on collision on our family vacation. Every one walked away with minor injury's. The police said the vans design saved our lives. So we decided to upgrade to the upper level olds silhouette we couldn't afford back in 93. But anyway we bought with leather and the whole works. 110,000 miles and 14 years later we have only needed a wheel bearing. Its fiberglass body still looks new. It's really been an amazing quality van. We would recommend this van to any family because of its reliability and especially the plastic sides. Great with kids around! Buy one!
Just won't die !
Not the best in mpg but at 30 years old and 437k miles with no major problems. Best reliable I've owned in 45 years and with winter tires. 8 inches of snow is no problem.
