Used 1990 Oldsmobile Toronado Consumer Reviews
I love her
What can I say? She has over $150K and still screams. I can throw her into the curves and she just hugs the road. I love her and much as my dog. she's a bit tired and the level ride cut out butr there are plenty of used parts out there - but they aren't cheap. She's a classic beauty and is everything I could want in a car.

2021 still going!
I had a 1990 toronado that I lived for about 5 years until the frame rotted, I live in the northeast rust belt, had yo let it go. 11 years ago i noticed a trofeo sitting in a driveway and it had been sitting a long time. I left a noye asking if it was for sale and received an answer a year later that I could have it for the price of the transmission rebuild he had done on it 10 years before-$1000. Bought it, replaced headliner, fuel pump and all fluids, runs exvellent and people keep asking me who made it and what year it is! I replced the base model radio and heater controls with the VIC option from a car I found in the junkyard ( was lucky to find that!) and I'm still driving it today albeit only in summer on nive day.

my 90 toro
I cant seem to part with this car. Have had 3 new cars since the toro and none can compare with ride, comfort, and performance that hasn't gotten the least bit sluggish. I bought this used in '95 and since then replaced a starter, crank sensor, and electronic dash. Toros are notorious for electronic dash problems. I replaced mine myself for $150. Simple task.
Toro=muscle- nado=speak
Awesome car, I first experienced a Toronado as a pedestrian when I was 10 in 1968. I said I would have one some day and now I do. A Ford dealer had this slated for a demolition derby. The body was in good shape and it was undercoated. The K frame was coming apart and was repaired with u-bolts and high carbon steel, stronger now than OEM. Replaced the struts, windsheld, etc. Had it for a run on the highway, its getting 35 mpg on a 25 mile loop, at 55 mph. Just gets better with distance. Fast too 0-60 in about 4 secs. Cranberry color with silver trim, I painted the wheels/side trim in gloss gold and it's so sharp I gotta wear shades.
