"A sedan that GM should of did more homework on.."

What things have gone wrong with the car?

I have had my 1995 Aurora since April of 2001. Since then I have spent well over what my car is even worth. Here are just a few things: Alternator ($700)

Battery ($230)

Fuel Rail ($800),

Ignition Switch ($500),

Radiator ($600),

Compressor ($850) car would not run without it,

Just to name a few within a short period of time. And mind you this did not included labor.

General comments?

This could have been a great car if GM would have done more homework on it.

I loved my car when I first purchased it, but as of now I am very disappointed.

Great body style.

I agree. I've owned a 95 aurora since 2000 and have probably spent well over $5,000. on miscellaneous repairs. I've loved the car and hated it, now I just hate it. It's in the shop now for a new belt. That'll cost me $500...

First of all when buying a used vehicle one should not comment on repairs as you doesn't know how car was treated. I've owned my 95 since November 1994. I've used only mobil one and have 160,000 on motor and it still runs as strong as a bear.

Only problems I've had are normal wear and tear, brakes, wires, ac compressor, radiator replacement, drive belt and cam belt, I've also repplaced struts to keep car handling like new. Early on I was cut off by tractor trailer and rolled the car resulting in minimal damage and no injuries to wife and I.

Best car GM has ever made. I'm actually looking for a 99 so I can drive it for another 7 or 8 years!

I have a '95, bought used in '99. I love the car. Yeah, I have had to replace a few things, but after 192,000+ miles it is to be expected. She is still running as of today and I drive it everyday. This car has been to Florida, even Key West, several times and as far as El Paso, Texas.

I just replaced the alternator ($139.00) which took 3 hours of my own time.

If I have a negative comment about my car, it would be that it is not mechanic friendly. This car is a real bear to work under the hood. And having to buy a battery directly from GM was not appreciated either.

Other than brakes, rear shocks, radiator and AC compressor, I haven't had any real problems with the car. Hopefully I didn't just jinx myself.
