2001 Oldsmobile Intrigue GL review from North America
"Better than most cars& trucks I've owned"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Front Oil Seal.
Replaced tires at 58,000.
Still OE brake pads, etc.
Knob on heater/AC broke at 62,000.
Engine Service light stays on all the time.
Turn signals work when they want to work.
General comments?
Second Olds I have owned. Both have been great cars. Quick with optional performance ratio, but the mileage suffers a bit because of it also. Probably be the last car we will ever own as the new ones are far to expensive, just to pay the taxes on them would replace most any "service" problem we could have with this vehicle.
We keep it well maintained overall, changing oil every 3000 miles, etc.
Has a valve cover gasket that's leaking on the exhaust that I need to have fixed, along with the service engine lite and the directional signal thing. Both items which will fail it upon State Inspection.
