Cruise Control malfunction.
Transmission rebuilt after 140,000 miles, and again around 200,000 miles.
The Tempmatic temperature control failed.
This car is the best car ever made! It has been driven from Maine to Virginia many times and has been used as a work vehicle every day. I have never owned, or even known of a more reliable, comfortable, or classy car.
This is the smoothest riding car I've driven. I once drove down the Interstate with a coffee cup on the trunk (I forgot it there). The cup never fell off or even spilled a drop of coffee when I got to where I was going!
The ball joints are still original after 236,000 miles.
With a good set of snow tires this car handles snow and ice covered roads better than some 4x4 trucks.
After 236,000 miles this car is a member of the family and I can't say enough good things about it. This car is my best friend and I love it dearly.
I had a 1993 98 touring sedan and I completely agree that it's one of the best cars I've ever owned. Mine was totalled by a 16 year old girl who got her license the same day and it still pains me (I used the insurance money to buy an Aurora though :) ). A car that was ahead of it's time. I took many long-distance road trips with friends and this car's reliability and comfort are second to none. Too bad olds isn't around anymore, GM could use a company with such fine autos right now. I should add that I had problems with the CD player and the heated seats at about 90000 miles, oh well... still a great buy.

- Excellent idea on your part!
