Oldsmobile Aurora 1995-2001Change

Every car that I have ever owned has not been kind to me then the Olds Aurora.....awesome car to own, foresure!

I had an Aurora for approximately 2 years. It was a beautiful car to look at and drive. Gas usage was average, but where the car failed was reliability. I purchased off of a 1 owner older gentleman and at my time of purchase it only had 114,000km. There wasn't a spot of rust on the car ,but every 3 months I had repairs. In my 2 years I replaced 5 hub assemblies due to the sensor going off and shutting down the ABS and traction control. There's one on each wheel. I also replaced an oil sensor, upper strut mounts, a rear window assembly, and a few other things. Our best friend is a lead mechanic, so we knew it wasn't a mechanic trying to take advantage of us. The last straw was oil just disappearing. It must have been burning it off because we had a die put in and still couldn't locate the issue. A very expensive car to maintain because there are soooo many bells and whistles to go wrong.

I was sad to hear when Oldsmobile stopped manufacturing cars and am glad I still have my 2000 Olds Aurora. I consider it to be a classic car and use it for Sunday drives and take it to car shows. At the time I bought it, I had no idea it would end up being a classic so soon. It's a beautiful driving car and has a definite feeling of luxury.

I bought this car used, and in very good condition. I love it. I feel like I'm rich and driving a luxury car, which it is, even though it's a bit old.

Originally these cars retailed for around $45000. Today they are bargains, come with all of the bells and whistles. Unfortunately repair bills are expensive. I recently had to rebuild my transmission, which set me back $4000 compared to $2000 for a Chevy Cavalier or Honda Civic. I would not recommend this car for someone tight on cash, or for someones first car.

Very comfortable,,,,strong body....however very poor fuel economy. Other than that no complaints. Great interior. Powerful engine. And a very well made body. Feel very safe driving this car
