  Great buy for entry luxury - 1999 Oldsmobile Aurora
  By tommyb61 - November 12 - 2:00 am

  Got a great deal on this one. It was in excellent shape with 63k miles for $8500. It was from a dealer and detailed. The car is great with wonderful V8 power. It rides and handles well. The interior is comfortable and suits me well with a cockpit design.

  Olds - 2001 Oldsmobile Aurora
  By ameschen - October 31 - 3:08 pm

  I bought my aurora in 2007 used with 138k miles on it, Im around 202k now. I could not be happier with my first car. Ive had little issues like changing a handful of sensors, and a fuel pump but spending a few hundred every once in a while is better than a car payment. It is pretty good on gas for being a V8 too, I live in the city and my average is 23 mpg. On the express way I get around 35 believe it or not! My Olds still has plenty of life left in it. I plan on keeping it until I run it into the ground and who knows I might look for another after.

  The Best - 1998 Oldsmobile Aurora
  By andy - October 27 - 3:06 am

  I have had my Aurora for seven years, almost twice as long as any other vehicle! It has absolutely been the best car I have ever owned, except for the depreciation. I love this car. The one problem that I had with it (fixed while under warranty) was the alternator went. Since then all it has needed is tires, oil changes, and gas! What else can one ask for in a car?

  Be careful... - 1999 Oldsmobile Aurora
  By GMCK25004x4 - October 7 - 8:26 am

  Auroras are nice..but be very careful when buying one. Northstar engine is notorious for having leaky head gaskets at the back of the engine. they have a GREAT deal of power..but if you ask me, the heads were not designed to take the power. Interior was great. Options were wonderful. Has 174000 miles on it and all the bearings needed replaced at the same time! thermostat is $51!~ Tires are hard to find and expensive! Parts are very expensive..and they hold no resale value cause Oldsmobile is closed and the Northstar has a bad rep. I drove five of these before I found mine.

  I was very surprised by the Oldsmobile Aurora. The design and technology are remarkable. The performance will catch you off guard.

  Smooth ride, great value - 2001 Oldsmobile Aurora
  By MikeP - August 29 - 9:26 am

  I bought this care used with about 18,000 miles. Currently at 108,000. Smooth ride, luxurious for the price, good acceleration, good stereo, hugs the road. No engine trouble besides it started burning about a quart of oil every 1000 miles once I hit 50k. No biggie from my perspective. Very nice car, no complaints whatsoever. Love the pearl white paint. Nice aluminum wheels. Great trunk space. Leather has held up well. Nice look from the front at night with a cool headlight design.

  Satisfied - 2001 Oldsmobile Aurora
  By CH - August 7 - 10:00 am

  This car has been reliable but quirky at times--cannot keep center ac vent on dash in one piece! Has been replaced twice, still it breaks. Sometimes gives false ratings on message center- low tire pressure when very cold outside. Just replaced both crankshaft sensors--gave check engine light and caused car to die in traffic! Other than these problems the car has been great. Now has 52,000 on odometer.

  XLNT Car - 1998 Oldsmobile Aurora
  By Oldsman - May 31 - 10:00 am

  Since I purchased my car, it has been excellent. My only copmplaint is that it is a little cramped for such a large, long car-- not much leg or head room for someone over 6 feet tall. Im 62", and I drive with the seat all the way back (and tilted all the way back), and the backrest tilted back at about 35 degrees. My (short) hair still brushes the roof. Because of that, my next car will probably be a Cadillac STS. But if youre altitudinally challenged, this is one great, smooth, good-looking and reliable car.

  Supurb Driver Control - 2003 Oldsmobile Aurora
  By Manuel A. Martinez - May 31 - 10:00 am

  Transaxal Locking Assemly makes vehicle handle emergency stops very well. Vehicle now sells way under what is now reviewed and that is just one of many reasons why this is an excellant bargain. Grab one in south Texas for less then 26500.00

  Aurora 3.5 - 2001 Oldsmobile Aurora
  By randy - May 11 - 10:00 am

  This is the most reliable vehicle I have owned and I have owned or leased over 10 vehicles. The power and handling ability are exceptional and the lumbar support and power seats make this a most comfortable car to drive. Oldsmobile has truly created a fine luxury vehicle beating the former European luxury car I owned before with its comfort, handling, and power. Too bad GM is discontinuing Oldsmobile. They should place the Aurora into the Buick line as its luxury sport vehicle.
