  Wish they still made them - 1999 Oldsmobile Intrigue
  By jasonc - May 18 - 10:00 am

  If you get a chance to own one of these cars for the right price I would go for it. I love this car and wish Olds didnt go out of business because I would buy another when this one if finished. Great power in the engine and plenty of acceleration. Get one while they last, but dont overpay because the resale value drops very fast. Mines already dropped in half and Ive only had it for 11 months.

  Would I do it again? - 2000 Oldsmobile Intrigue
  By jolgg21 - May 4 - 10:00 am

  I have had excellent luck with my pre- owned Intrigue. However, the fuel usage was and is disappointing. The interior design is not very family-friendly. There is limited leg room in the back seat when an adult is seated comfortably in the front. Also, the cup holders on the back of the console are a great target for little feet. The radio reception is awful and I have experience some bizarre electrical problems. Overall, this is a reliable car that I would probably purchase again as long as I still got the great price:)

  Great car with bad windows - 2002 Oldsmobile Intrigue
  By FOX72 - April 22 - 12:23 pm

  Bought the car used in 2008 with 78K on it already. Replaced the tires immediately and its the smoothest ride I have ever owned. The engine is solid. After a year of use (7 year old car) three out of four windows stopped working. I took the door panels off to check it out and found that the plastic pieces on the window motor had cracked and the cables were getting jammed up in the motor. Now at 110K, the AC just went out. Nice car, may need some repairs to keep it comfortable.

  Okay overall - 1999 Oldsmobile Intrigue
  By Tea - March 28 - 2:00 am

  At 14,595 mi a small oil leak;engine rear main seal replaced. At 29,784 mi replaced frt door top moldings; new design added a screw to keep them from sliding backward which made them rub on front of rear door. Twice dealer has added a/c fluid which helped temporarily but still does not cool car as well as it should. Not easy to keep in a straight ahead line; maybe it needs alignment but I have not had it checked. Front seat backs do not support my mid-back area (Im 60"). Performance excellent. Avg 25.5 mpg..ranges 19 to 28.5. Overall "okay" but not as trouble-free as our Camrys nor as easy to steer. Warranty covered what has been done so far.

  Olds got the Intrigue right - 1998 Oldsmobile Intrigue

  COST PER MILE - 1998 Oldsmobile Intrigue
  By Somone - February 7 - 2:00 am

  bought my car used at 20Kmile for about $13K, now it is 115Kmile and going. no trouble. Excellent bargain!thought about trading it in, say for a Passat ($,ignition coil mess), Camry ($ for the V6, insurance, premium gas), Accord ($for V6, insurance cost, premium gas), Maxima (rented one, it is OK, $$$ for the car, premium gas). It could be 10 cents per mile if I drive it to 130K. the old 3800 II V6 (also in the buick regal, LeSabre) have lasted to 250K and up. If I bought a new maxima/camry/accord for about $22K, I will have to drive them to about 190K- 220K to achieve that 10 cents a mile, and higher insurance and gas $.

  One of GMs Best - 1998 Oldsmobile Intrigue
  By hdvorin - February 6 - 1:33 am

  Bought this car new for my wife. After 7 years it still looks better than most GM cars on the road and handles like a sports car. We chose it over a Grand Prix (better interior) or a Regal (better handling/ride). Only consistent problem has been clogged fuel injectors which required periodic cleaning. If Oldsmobile had made more like this one, they might still be in business. About to trade in on a Buick LaCrosse and we hope its as reliable.

  Why Oldsmobile died - 2000 Oldsmobile Intrigue
  By Oh boy - January 8 - 9:00 am

  At first with all GM sedans the car looked really nice. Then it starts moving and your feelings begin to change. This car rattles a lot, and seems like it was assembled like a plastic model kit. The door panels move a little when you touch them and the passenger widow control actually popped out one day when my wife closed the door. The fake wood paneling is cheap and is cracking on the dashboard. The rear power window stopped working and that was only after a handful of times using it. It burns way too much oil. I have the high end version of this model and would hate to imagine how bad the base model would be. I have a 1999 Honda Civic and have not had any of these problems.
