2000 Oldsmobile Alero GLS review from North America
"The price looks good used, but look again"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The window regulator had to be replaced.
The power steering pump had to be replaced b/c of a faulty hose clamp (ran dry)
The intake manifold gasket had to be replaced.
The back rotors and brakes had to be replaced.
General comments?
I have bought cars for $150 that were more reliable than this one. I will never buy another domestic car again. It looks good, but that is about it.
