Replying to: cocarvalho (Apr 16, 2008 9:20 am) Hello. Might be able to help your search. I am the ORIGINAL OWNER of INDY-version AURORA, complete fully operational vehicle. Full maintenance records, immaculate condition...this is the INDY Series V8 32-valve DOHC race engine in vehicle. Please review feedback on Edmunds regarding this model & engine performance as posted, they are accurate, true...this is a vehicle in high demand for those familiar w/ specifications as noted on Edmunds. Has NOTHING to do w/ Shelby!! Might be willing to sell ENTIRE VEHICLE (best option I would suggest to you). Regards, Vito

Hi Folks, I have been the owner of a 97 Aurora since 2000. It has aquired some serious mechanical problems so I think it is done. It developed a head gasket leak and now can not be driven without overheating. Repair cost far exceed the value of the car ($3350.00)so I am active looking for another one. I have a lead on a low milage 95. Can I get some education what the differences are from the 95 to the 97 model? Ed

Replying to: eddie36 (May 02, 2008 4:14 pm) Factory changes '95 to '96: added DRLs, removed backlight distortion, added panic button to keyless entry, seats and mirrors move to preset position when keykess entry is used, programmable door locks, perimeter lighting when doors are unlocked in the dark, battery run-down protection, added recirculation mode to climate control system. Factory changes '96 to '97: right exterior mirror dips when transaxle in reverse, added compass in rearview mirror, larger front rotors, 3-channel garage door opener, added Homelink rolling code compatibility ~12/96, optional 12-disc changer in trunk, upgraded suspension to FE3 sport (different front springs and struts, 29mm front stabilizer shaft ('96 was 27mm), no changes to rear), engine oil cooler was deleted sometime during the model run, front ball joints became lubricated for life sometime during the model run, and spare wheel went to 17" from 16". You can easily pull the rearview mirror and garage door opener from your '97 and move them to another Aurora. In general, reliability improved every year for the Classic Auroras. Many '95s have had shift solenoid problems -- not too expensive to fix. The occurence of oil leaks and blown head gaskets lessened over the years. You probably didn't know that.  Hope this helps.

Hey all. Just checking in now that I have brought the '95 out of storage. My last few jobs have provided me with business vehicles, so the Aurora has been sleeping peacefully, but I thought it finally time to bring her down to Florida with me. Palm trees and an absolute absence of road salt agrees with both of us. Have had a few minor issues to deal with, all of which could easily be blamed on over 2 years of rare use. Both rear brake lines rusted out and needed replacement, new battery and alternator, had to change 3 of the 4 ignition coils, a new master cylinder and the flange in front of the catalytic converter actually rusted out and snapped in half, leaving my exhaust in two pieces. Easy fix, but it sounded like I had a Harley for a day.  All in all, she still looks good. Hope all is well here. -Brian |
