2000 Oldsmobile Intrigue GS review from North America
"Overall, this car is not dependable and you need a second car in case this one breaks down"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The Four Struts had to be replaced at 110000 kilometers.
Two front wheel bearings replaced at 90000 kilometers.
Check engine light on at 80000 and can't get it off.
Shifter knob broken at 105000 kilometers.
Brakes replaced every 25000 km at a cost of 400 dollars each time.
Starting problems sometimes which can't be fixed.
Alternator and belt replaced at 200000 km.
Sometimes the interior lighting works, sometimes it don't.
This car loves the oil. Can't keep it in her. Doesn't leak or burn it though. Figure that out?
General comments?
This car is a nice powerful, good looking comfortable car.
However, it is a money pit.
