2000 Oldsmobile Alero GL3 review from North America
"Better to buy used, better value"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Have had 2 sets of rotors installed. First at around 12000 miles and again around 30000. Problem happening again... at 48K Transmission has been looked at twice, first time you put it in drive in the am there is a noticeable pause before engaging... problems ahead I sure.
General comments?
OK car for the money, although trade in value is less than half what I paid for it. Would not have happened with a Honda or Toyota.
