  My Favorite Car - 1999 Oldsmobile Intrigue
  By Rocketfxr - October 10 - 5:20 pm

  I purchased a 1997 Olds Intrigue GL Basic with no bells and whistles back in 1999. It had been a former rental car with 23K miles, so it had been "well loved". I put over 120K on it myself. 3 years later I found another 1999 Intrigue GLS with low mileage, Leather interior, Bose Stereo, Power seats. I have put over 100K on this car. I had to replace the engine at and rebuild the transmission at 120K. It was worth the cost, the car is so nice to drive and it really moves! GM really messed up discontinueing this line.

  The Oldsmotrigue - 1999 Oldsmobile Intrigue
  By Mike - September 28 - 9:30 am

  Well, its official now, my car is 10 years Olds!! It has 128000miles on the odometer and the way it feels, it could take another 100000. I have the 3.8 version. I had a buick T-Type before with the same motor and I sold it with 145000miles on it. Since I have it Ive had the regular maintenance and parts replace from wear and tear, nothing more. Since im young (early 30s) my generation is too familiar with keeping a vehicule or buying American for that matter, I always under pressure to change it for an Europeen model! But since this one is paid for and is running in good order I will keep it and perhaps get a BRAND NEW SPORTS CAR!! (pronouce like Bob Barker would) THE 2010 CHEVY CAMARO!

  Dependable Car - 1999 Oldsmobile Intrigue
  By cliftsnew - July 4 - 12:33 am

  I purchased this vehicle July 2004, and it has been a great vehicle. I purchased the vehicle with 73,000 miles on it, and it now has over 170,000 miles on it. The only problems I have had were with the brakes, because of exposure to the elements. Besides this I have had no problems. I use Mobile 1 synthetic oil, so tried to maintain it. Word of advice when you need to replace oxygen sensor do so immediately otherwise you may have to pay in the long run. I did not change mine for almost a year and it made other problems arise, but not till now, so I think this has been a great vehicle. If you find one used purchase it as soon as possible.

  I miss the 3.5 - 1999 Oldsmobile Intrigue
  By OldsKidd - June 27 - 9:23 pm

  My parents bought their 99 Intrige GLS with 27,000 miles in 2001. Theyve driven it to Mexico once, and to Michigan countless times. Its proven to be as reliable as their Toyota Corolla. It now has 100,000 miles and it still runs like the day they bought it. Regular maintenance is all that has been needed. The seats are comfy and the dual zone climate control is great as my dad is always cold and mom is the opposite. Theyre thinking of getting another car, but why? If anything theyd get a used Aurora with the same bulletproof Northstar based 3.5L V6. GM made a big mistake dropping Oldsmobile and the 3.5L and 4.0L engines. They shouldve kept the lineup, or at least put the engines in Buick.

  Best Deal In Town - 1999 Oldsmobile Intrigue
  By GmanNYC - June 25 - 10:00 am

  Why Did GM stop Producing this car? My previous cars were an 88 accord, 88 cutlas, 92 Legend and a 97 malibu, and my 99 intrique has the best features of all of them. The design with the chrome rims and spoiler give an attractive look. the leather was comparable to my old legend. The Bose System was similar to the after market system in my accord. Most important it was the size i needed consider im 6 ft 230lbs and play hockey. I wanted something bigger than my malibu but with all the toys. This car takes a 45 mile comute with no problem and 5 of us fit decently going to a football game with tailgating stuff in the trunk. Car is fun to drive, priced perfect under 9 grand used. mpg is decent

  Like a Vette - 1999 Oldsmobile Intrigue
  By OwnedEmAll - June 2 - 9:43 pm

  Ive owned cars for 55 years and none has given me more all around pleasure than this car. On twisty two-lanes or the interstate it has been great. It handles much the same as my 66 Vette coupe, without the 350 hp of course, and the V6 3.8 liter engine is strong, smooth and bulletproof. Maybe the 3.5 could be better, but I dont care.

  Good Car Overall - 1999 Oldsmobile Intrigue
  By Tiffany - May 27 - 2:20 am

  Originally bought the car with 36K on it and now at 170K I cant really complain. I havent had anything major wrong with it, just normal maintenance fixes so far. The one continuous problem that I am having is that the light in the front blinkers keeps going out. I just quit having it fixed.

  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.

  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.

  intrigue - 1999 Oldsmobile Intrigue
  By olds98 - October 2 - 3:06 am

  the oldsmobile intrigue is a good car. But it has its downs too. i like this car cause it looks good, it fits 6ft tall adults comfortable in every seat. when someone backed up on me and it was a big jeep and it didnt do anything to my car. and it has lots of power in it, for a big car it tops out at 130 mph. for my car i only had to replace the window motors, blinkers, flywheel, and a oil leak, and thats all. its also good on gas 30 to 35 mpg on highway.
