1998 Oldsmobile Intrigue review from North America
"Good value"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Well, I have got a 98 with the 3.8 engine, and all in all, I can't complain.
I am not mechanical at all. I have always used 10 percent ethanol fuel and synthetic oil.
The plastic top of the radiator broke at about 212,000 miles, and one of the wheel bearings have been replaced.
There have been some weird electrical issues, the front driver running light has been replaced about five times, along with the whole assembly, and some alternators.
