1995 Oldsmobile Aurora review from North America
"Unreliable, smooth riding family car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I just purchased my 1995 Aurora about a month ago.
The air conditioner has went out, and blows out only hot air.
The car runs very warm, no matter the temperature outside.
Biggest problem, oil pan gasket leaks. Took car to the dealer and he said Oldsmobile came out with a different shaped oil pan because they were having too many problems with the old ones. Car leaks a quart of oil a day!
Car has trouble starting sometimes. Sometimes it will pop right off, other times it will take 30 seconds to start.
General comments?
This is a nice car with a lovely interior.
It has great horsepower and is smooth riding.
However it is a headache maintaining the car in tip top shape.
I have only had this car for a month and still owe $3,000 on it. Can someone suggest to me what I should do? Sell it or fix it and keep it?
