1999 Oldsmobile Intrigue review from North America

"Stylish luxury car with some bad luck"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

This car has been reliable, yet has had it's days. I had to reseal the oil pan, it was leaking around 1/2 quart a day.

The Alternator had to be replace because it stopped working.

It has not had any real engine problems, the 3.8L V6 3800 is very reliable, I've abused it quiet a bit, but it still runs strong, I think the transmission is going. It seems to over-rev the engine a couple hundred RPM then shift when driving "conservatively". Yet shifting is not a real problem.

The interior lighting has been malfunctioning. The lights haven't all worked at the same time.

There has been a very big problem with the electrical, backup lights stay on all the time, only choice beyond repair was removing the bulbs. The right turn signal does work in front. The wires are corroded and grounding out, car electrical is very expensive to repair unless you do it yourself.

General comments?

This car has had its days, it really needs to be repaired, but, I really feel that it was a good car to begin with, but then after being a drug running car (honestly, door panels are loose including center console), it needed the TLC that I cannot provide it. But definitely a good ride if you take care of it.

I really feel that it's a reliable car and I would buy another newer model, but they stopped making Oldsmobile vehicles.

The panel under the steering wheel rattles, very annoying.
