Around 75,000 miles I needed new wires, spark plugs, brakes, and rotors - $550.
A few interior features keep falling off, such as the plastic around the locks on the doors.
The check engine light keeps coming on and off, has been since 70,000 or so miles.
It's decent on gas.
Very quick, 205 HP and 230 ft/lbs of torque can move this car right along.
The leather seats are very comfortable.
The speakers are great, and with a new CD deck installed, it sounds fantastic!
The air conditioning works very well, especially on hot summer days.
It rides great, and isn't as boaty as my 1989 Park Avenue was.
You should have the car checked if the engine light is coming on and off. We inherited a 1997 LS 88 from my Grand-Father-In-Law's estate and it had only 73,000 miles on it when it suffered a catastrophic mechanical failure, quite probably due to a blown head gasket.
Upon review, we found that he had taken it in for service at a "GM Authorized Dealer" in Bellevue, WA. They replaced a faulty Water pump and faulty Intake manifold, but claim that they could not in good conscious replace the head gaskets at the same time.
Anyway, within 2200 miles of that service the engine failed. GM has been no help (never buy a GM product), the dealership claims that since it went for another 2200 miles they did nothing wrong (never shop at Bellevue Oldsmobile/Cadillac).
Overall - this has been a totally disturbing and frustrating issue.
