2000 GL "TypeR" Silver Mist/Dk Gray int. by ketch

Had this car a year and a half, and have had few problems, mostly trim affecting.
14400 miles thus far, bought Dec. 99. Also looked at Passat(VW) and Altima (Nissan).
Previous car: '90 cavalier (don't laugh, ok laugh, but 1 income two kids, do the math...
  previous car to that was a '86 Mustang GT, so the Cav. was like doing time!).
 
Loves (in order): Styling outside, Design Inside (very German), Performance (3.5), Handling,
                       Size (useful).
 
Dislikes(in order): Build quality (not awful though), ABS system(intrudes too soon/frequently),
                          dealer service, size(also a "love" for it usefullness, but would like a size
                          closer to a Passat).
 
One liner: The Intrigue combines two of my favorite cars I have owned- a Mustang GT for its
   power and looks, and a '83 GTI, for its German feel and refinement!

New transmission for '98 Intrigue by bb1129

Last August after about 17,000 miles, my '98 needed a rebuilt transmission (covered under warrenty). It was in the shop for 8 days. I believe it should still be covered under the power train warrenty until 2003 (5 years from date of purchase in February 98). Other than the transmission problem and problems with a sticky passenger door and rear seatbelts, the car has been enjoyable. I also got new rotors courtesy of the dealer. Anyone else with transmission problems?

2000 Intrigue - Rear End Rumble by tomw11

Hi,
  I've got a 2000 Black GLS - most options except PCS. With the chrome wheels this is a very sharp car. Overall, I'm happy with this car except I'm noticing a rumble coming from the rear end as mentioned in another posting. The noise occurs when decelerating and nearly at a stop. I haven't gone to the dealer yet as I'd like to learn others experiences with this problem beforehand.
Thanks.

Black 2001 GLS with dark grey interior, PCS package, Bose, and gold emblems. In fact, the only option not on mine was the engine block heater. Took delivery of this black stallion on July 21 and she had 4 miles on the odometer before I took the test drive. Already at 1300 miles and still enjoying this car very much. I ordered and just received the GM service manual for this car($120) and it's really interesting the features and technology that is packed into this car. I've always liked Oldsmobiles and I really hate to see them go, especially now as they have the absolute best line of cars ever.

GM will lose a lot of car sales when Oldsmobile dies. Very short sighted move, but given the times I think GM had no choice. Hopefully some of those future Oldsmobiles will find their way to Saturn or Buick.

Does your 99 have the 3800 V6 engine or the 3.5 liter DOHC V6? I bet those rims look interesting on that car.

Would you tell us what the brand is and where you got the slotted rotors from? My '98 Intrigue has now reached 55,000 miles. I am curious as to what regular maintenance you performed during your ownership.

After reading your postings regarding rear end noise and cupped tires it is just like my experience with my '00 Intrigue. After two trips to the second dealership I finally got a mechanic to ride along with me so I could tell him exactly what noise I was talking about. It turned out to be a bad rear bearing on the passenger side.
