  Best Car! - 2000 Oldsmobile Intrigue
  By BB - May 21 - 11:56 pm

  My 2000 Intrigue has 250K miles on it and the only issue Ive had is a hairline crack in the coolant tank and an axle that had to be replaced. As a single working mother of 4 kids this car has been a lifesaver. There is nothing worse than having an unreliable car. I am currently looking for the same year model car as a back up for this car. Im not sure how much longer it can go but it just keeps on going.

  2000 Olds Intrigue - 2000 Oldsmobile Intrigue

  This is an excellent car. It gives good highway gas mileage, about 30 US mpg at hwy speeds. The 215hp motor provides good pickup.

  Oldsmobile Rocket Intrigue - 2000 Oldsmobile Intrigue
  By >BaDSeY< - May 4 - 10:00 am

  The Oldsmobile 3.5L V6 (Wards 10 best engines 1999) paired with the electronic automatic tranny is exceptional. Underrated at 215Hp more like 240-250HP. People have been having alternator short problems with the lights dimming on the Intrigue. My flasher unit is intermittently faulty, but this is a previous known condition with the Grand Am etc. When the windshield wipers are turned off the blades are vertical so I keep them on the lowest setting at all times 18sec. GM made/contracted some electrical components with shoddy solder joints (flasher unit, wiper relay).

  Nice Car - 2000 Oldsmobile Intrigue
  By Dan - January 21 - 10:56 pm

  This vehicle is a very nice vehicle. It is great for long commutes because the gas mileage is so great. It is perfect for college students because of the gas mileage and strength.

  excellent design - good value - 2000 Oldsmobile Intrigue
  By vjd2211 - May 24 - 10:00 am

  the car is an excellent value - during the last 30 months since I have owned this car, two small items have been replaced (never been stuck on the road) plus a sticky drivers door that was retuned" twice by the dealer. The car is a pleasure to drive; why GM is not continuing this design under another name beats me - OLDS is the only GM line now in touch with the american "urban" reality (I mean closest to it because there is still room for improvement) in the Northeast and Coastal West. All other designs look pretty ugly to me and some are 10 years behind.

  New Car Smell - 2000 Oldsmobile Intrigue
  By shylockmike - May 2 - 10:00 am

  I bought this car 3/24/03 with only 13,159 miles on it. It still has the new car smell. On my test drive the brakes squeaked, but I attributed that to the fact the car had been sitting idle. Once I took delivery the noise subsided. Now 6/12/03 the car has 17,600 miles and I am getting pronounced feedback from the brake pedal and the car shutters when the brakes are applied. This is my first GM car, I have previously owned 2 Fords, a Toyota and a Nissan because I was always skeptical about the quality of GM and Chrysler vehicles. I hope my fears of poor GM quality are unfounded. I have an appointment for service on this vehicle 6/16/03.

  Still going - 2000 Oldsmobile Intrigue
  By BB - March 5 - 2:00 am

  This is BB who posted on 3/9/10. My Intrigue is at 266K. Kept asking my mechanic when he thought it would go and he said the motor was still strong. Ive had restless nights trying to decide between buying another used 2000 Intrigue or above (noticed below 2000 clist ads had issues) again or a used foreign car. Toyota was the only other my mech rec. My car had 2 repairs costing $200/$400 since last post and then the a/c compressor went out. I did not fix bc IDK when the car will call it quits. Called around and found a 2000 w/115k miles and am getting it this wknd. Knock on wood I have luck w/this one! Im going to drive the old one til spring since the ac is out and switch to the other car.

  Good American Car - 2000 Oldsmobile Intrigue
  By Good American Car - December 30 - 4:46 pm

  I purchased the car with 50000 miles and it now has 112000. Always starts, its fast, great at highway speed. I like it as a sporty American sedan, similar to the 5 series or any smaller Benz. Electrical system have issues, signals, flashers, window motor replacement is expensive and must have design flaws. A great looking car still today, far more interesting than a Camry, maxima, etc.

  10 years and still great - 2000 Oldsmobile Intrigue
  By ketch5 - October 19 - 7:06 am

  Bought new, special ordered, the day before Thanksgiving 1999 (Mine also came with a dealer installed aftermarket SLP stageI TypeR performance/handling package as well). Bought it for two main reasons: the engine (rated in the 10 best at the time) and the styling; Wanted a European type handling/ride and refinement and this had it. 63000 miles now and 10 years old. All power windows went out over time and had to be replaced (a common GM issue); Other than recent tie rod end replacements, nothing else. Have had this on a race track (Road America road course in Wis.) for over an hour chasing (and passing) BMWs back in 2001; Great handling; OK used, but epxect some issues.

  Happy with my Olds - 2000 Oldsmobile Intrigue
  By Matt D - August 23 - 2:00 am

  I purchased this Intrigue with only 7600 miles on the odometer, it was two years old. The car has performed to my expectations for a family sedan. Its reliable, has a strong engine and is very stylish. I am so far very pleased with this vehicle.
