Had the radiator replaced at around 140K miles, and the starter around the same time. Other than that, no major probelms.
An excellent vehicle. The 3.3L V6 still gets very good fuel economy. The car has excellent power and a great ride, especially for its age. The tachometer and other (oil, temp, volts) gauges are one of the car's best features. Perfect for anyone who wants reliable, powerful, basic transportation.
Yes, very true all that was said. I also own this model and mine now has almost 197,000 miles on it. Oldsmobiles last a long time!! Although I did have to replace the timing chain recently cause it was making a noise, but that is normal right?!
It wasn't until 160,000 miles that the first tranny went, so I thought that was really good.
Other repairs are just minor ones such as alternator, etc. Otherwise, at almost 197,000 this car runs great and that 3.3L V6 is still quicker than heck!!
Oldsmobiles will last long if you put a lot of money in them. They don't ride even close to nice. When you drive it, it doesn't feel like you have struts on at all. I have put a lot of money in a car that's only worth five dollars, no, I'll give it the benefit of the doubt, ten dollars.
