  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.

  Love my 2000 Olds Intrigue! - 2000 Oldsmobile Intrigue
  By lanova - November 16 - 11:34 am

  Reading everyone’s issues here w/their Intrigue, guess I got lucky. Bought mine new in 2000 with 10 km on it. Thought I had a lemon with problems of it overheating & adjustments were made to thermostat in 2nd year. Never had much heat after that unless I was doing 120km on the hwy driving easterly on a sunny day. Since I was having hot flashes & driving mostly hwy anyway, didn’t matter much, but I digress.

  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.

  Good, until... - 2000 Oldsmobile Intrigue
  By Augustine - August 5 - 10:00 am

  I bought this car with 36,000 miles 7 years ago and it lasted 100,000 miles. Its got its share of minor issues, like all windows had to have the regulator replaced as well as the crankshaft sensor, which seem to be the par for the course. The interior was a victim of its poor quality in materials and design early on, like the dash lip above the central vents raising and the shifter and door switches getting loose. The leather seats were only thinly upholstered and the drivers seat shows more use. The exterior, other than supplier-painted parts, held up fairly well. Since it was involved in an accident which damaged its front-end, it developed recurring cooling issues, unfortunately.

  Intrigued - no longer - 2000 Oldsmobile Intrigue
  By aileron - June 17 - 2:00 am

  The 3.5 twin cam engine is the best feature of the car. The transmission, at 75000 miles, is becoming "unsure of itself". Fit and finish are not good. Interior layout is OK. Service reliability has been subpar for a car that lists for over 26 grand. Fog lights are ridiculous - lousy design - bulbs dont last and cost a fortune at 10-14 dollars each. The assemblies fill up with water and list for 113 dollars each. The headlight assys are little better as the lenses fog over (crazing) and condensation always forms inside the light assemblies. Im afraid to even inquire the price. Ill go Japanese next time.

  Not Intrigued - 2000 GLS - 2000 Oldsmobile Intrigue
  By Intrigued_not - April 17 - 2:00 am

  Transmission out at 52k miles, $1800 to rebuild at private shop, not dealer. Front brakes uneven, right front locks up frequently. Alternator needs replaced at 61k, putting out only 10 amps ($225 new w/ exchange), but luckily have found two salvage yards that claim they have one for $50 and $75, but install is 3 hours and looks difficult.

  Love it! - 2000 Oldsmobile Intrigue
  By Intrigue in AZ - March 22 - 1:10 pm

  Ive had my 2K Intrigue for almost a year now. I purchased it with just under 30K miles and it now has just over 40K. I have not had a single problem. The car is great to drive, good acceleration and handling. I recently took it on a road trip to LA from Phoenix and it was a dream to entire trip; had the cruise control set at nearly 100mph and it was still under 3000rpm.
