My parents were the original owners of the car since 1990. When Dad died in 1996 it sat over Mom's for four years before it was released to me. When they got it in 1990 I really didn't care for it for no important reason, except it was too rich for my blood seeing I was driving a 76 Ford Granada. When I obtained the car in 1999, I was amazed at the extremely good gas mileage it got and how smoot the engine was. You could not even hear it running. I get a lot of compliments on how good it looks for its age, and the car grew on me. I had an opportunity to trade it in for a 93 Coupe de Ville, but I decided to keep the Olds because it really is a nice car. By the way, the V-6 3.8 engine is fantastic. You have to beat it with a stick to kill it. I would definitely by another Olds or Buick so long as it had the 3.8 V-6 engine. Happy motoring!
