'til death do us part

The Toronado is truly one of the great ones from Oldsmobile. I've owned the car from a pup and it now has over 171,000 miles. The 3800 V6 is strong as can be and never has given any problems. This car was way ahead of its time and is still a pleasure to drive. It is one of the best cars I've owned.

1990 Toronado Brougham

I bought this car two years ago with 32K miles on it. It was owned by two elderly sisters and they upgraded to a convertible and traded the Toronado. It's been a great car, fun to drive, good gas mileage, extremely comfortable and good looking, and definitely unique. Maintenenance has been easy, the only problems have been related to age, not poor design. The only major things that were replaced were the electronic dash, tires, a few sensors on the motor and hood struts.

This vehicle is flawless, I now see why Olds quit making them as this car would have put them out of business....

1990 Trofeo Rocks!

I bought the car with 104,000 miles and it now has 195,000. The only problem I ever had was that the a/c compressor froze and had to be replaced. The car still runs perfect and I will keep it but I just bought a 1992 Trofeo and 94,000 miles just so that I can get another of these great cars while they're still able to be found. If you can find one, buy it, 1992 was the last year.

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.

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.

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.
