Bought our 2000 used in 2010 with over 150,000 miles on it. Has made several long, out of state trips and is our primary in town ride. I've replaced battery, starter, idle control valve, belt and tensioner, tailgate lift cylinders, and rear air shocks. Took to dealer for a bad crank speed sensor wiring harness - $600 total repair. All reasonable repairs for a vehicle this age. Love the space and seats. Excellent fuel economy. Nice driver. Solid overall construction. Has been a reliable and very good van for hauling kids to ball games, moving music equipment, and everything else! UPDATE: Sadly, some kid turned into my daughter while driving this van and totaled it. We could drive it up onto the wrecker, but the cost to repair the broken front end was just not economical. We bought a different brand of minivan to replace the Silhouette and I appreciate the Silhouette even more now. I especially miss the trip computer with the electronic compass, MPG, etc. Our replacement Honda Odyssey doesn't have that and it has taken me several months to get used to not seeing that information on the overhead console.

Not a Toyota, But not Bad

Initially disappointed w/interior build quality and materials. Things fell off and we didn't know where they came from (read, VERY plastic interior). Radio has been replaced 3 times, right door speaker twice, driver side seat heater twice, and rear window washer has failed so many times I gave up on it. But... the dealer was terrific (Bush Olds/GMC, Lenoir NC) always ready with a loaner and would pick up/drop off if necessary. Last van was Previa, better overall quality, but Olds is much more car-like and cheaper to repair.

I like the drive, room, features, etc. and it ends there. I have owned this van for 8 years and this is what has gone wrong above regular maintenance issues: front windshield wipers - never worked properly, power windows - have to hand pull the windows up, fuel gauge broken, heated seats died after three years, problems with automatic sliding door, tires always going flat - the list goes on and on. I spent $4,000 in fixes last year alone. The best I can get for it on trade is $1,500. Not impressed.
good till 67,000 then falls apart

we bought a new 2000 model and all was good in the land until we hit 67,000 miles..It started with a brand new transmission,then the brakes went out (while my wife and kids are in the van),then oxygen sensor then 24 hrs later the other sensor,and the air conditor,the drivers window motor, both front tie rods,manifold intake valve,leak in the radiator..If you are going to buy american(which I will never do again,it is inferior to foreign) make sure you buy the extended warranty,thank heaven's we had that wisdom..in all over $7,000 of work has been done on this van that is only worth maybe 10 grand
Sorry to see Olds go!

Our 2000 Extended Premier Edition Silhouette with all the leather and video toys is a very cool and comfortable ride. The car has spent many days in the dealer repair shop for work on brakes and manifold. The front end has been aligned three times but still goes through tires quick. This is the first front wheel drive car I've owned and I'm not a fan. Gas mileage for this big van is awesome and my wife is always running the AC.
