1995 Oldsmobile Aurora review from North America
"Keeps you broke!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The day after I bought my Aurora the transmission went. After much hassle the dealer finally agreed to fix it with me paying half-300.00. Then I needed the oil seal gasket done, another 200.00. After that brakes and rotors. It also has a bad power steering pump which I had fixed, but the part was faulty and of course I have to pay labor again. Since owning this car I discovered the rear defogger doesn't work, some of the power doors don't unlock and other petty items.
General comments?
The car has power beyond my needs. I was drawn in by its luxury, leather seats, Cd player etc. However my main complaint is the amount of gas it uses. My credit cards are maxed out.
