1998 Oldsmobile LSS review from North America
"One of GM's best kept secrets"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Had problems with brake booster. Front brakes would slighty engage when driving. I had to replace the booster, front calipers, disks and brake pads. In all it was under a thousand dollars.
I also had the same mechanic flush out my coolant system. He was to aggressive and caused the head gasket to leak after the coolant flush. I'm not sure what product he used to flush it out. Then gives me a quote for one thousand dollars to fix the leak he caused. So I dumped a bottle of high quality rad sealer in the system and it really helped.
No other problems since.
General comments?
My Lss has the Supercharger and is fully loaded.
Its quite fast, and have won a race over a Mustang GT.
The leather interior is done very nice and is quite comfortable. The wood trim is also done quite taste full.
It's basically Oldsmobile's version of a top of the line Cadillac.
