#50 of 84 Clatter from front end by lee_herman Aug 29, 2003 (8:30 am)
In response to george92, have your dealer check out service bulletin 01-05-23-O11A. I had my dealer install a new brake caliper service kit, as per the bulletin, and the problem has been largely (but not completely) eliminated.   Lee

Haven't been around much. I've been too busy putting 40,000 miles on my intrigue this year. We bought our 99 with just under 50,000 one year ago today. We have a GLS with everything except a spoiler. At 93,000 we've done regular oil changes, front brake pads(word of advice, use thread locking compound on the bolts that hold your callipers to the hub assembly), a cam position sensor($32 and 10 minutes labor), a set of tires, tranny flush, power steering flush, coolant flush, and a few car washes. I think I'm due for a tie rod end on the right side and an alignment. I bought high performance tires that I really appreciate.(No more squealing around the corners.) The sunroof switch is a little sticky on the close. Other than that, there is nothing to complain about. I get about 20-25 around town depending on ac use and how much I rod it. I get 25-32 on the highway depending on speed, ac use, and how many hills I'm climbing. I check my mileage every time I fill up. I'm a nut that way. My brothers love to borrow my car. I don't like to drive rentals because it is a chore compared to my Intrigue. The climate control is picture perfect and the abs kicks in at the right times. When I drive in the snow and ice the traction control does it's job. I anticipate another 100,000 miles at least before I move up to an Aurora or another Intrigue. I wish I could find a chip for the computer and ditch the 110 mph governor. I also love making people stare wide-eyed while I leave them. There is a certain satisfaction that I thoroughly enjoy. If you have any questions about your cars as they approach their higher miles, chances are I've been there already. From what I've seen, you have nothing to worry about.

Hello everyone. I just purchased a used 2002 GLS with 29,000 miles. I've only had it for a short time, but so far I love it. It has all options except the gold badging. I did a lot of research and it came down to the most car for the money. I've had many Oldsmobiles and have had very good luck. I also have a 2000 Silhouette that's been good. Yeah I know if I tried to sell it soon I would take a beating, but I plan to keep it for many years. Camry and Accord might be more reliable, but they are so dull and expensive I just couldn't do it. The Regal is dated and the one I drove did not handle well. The Grand prix is nice, but seemed to be smaller inside than the Intrigue. The Sebring is nice, but I didn't see very many around here. I had a Taurus once and had bad luck.   The sales process went pretty well, excpet the dealer tried to sell me an extended warranty instead of transferring the existing 5yr/60k warranty. The dealer said I needed to get consent from the previous owner and they would be unwilling to do it. After contacting the Olds 800 number, I found a completely different story. They said I could transfer it by having the dealer fill out a from from the GMPP web-site (which I found for the dealer) and mail it in with a $35 check for processing. That's been done and I will verify it was done in a few weeks.   I have some questions, but I think I will post on the main board later.

#54 of 84 2000 GL by american_idle Mar 05, 2004 (9:57 pm)
Mine is ruby colored, bought last September with 33000 miles on it. The idea to consider this model was based on a favorable Consumer Reports mention. I had been driving a 90 Bonneville for 10 years and decided to upgrade, finally. I thought I was going to downsize a bit but the Intrigue is almost as big. It's a great looking car but I wish the alloy wheels were a different design. The seating position and visibility are big pluses. I like the handling and smooth strong engine but would rather have a bit less road feel and noise. I really don't like the center dash controls (radio and HVAC system) much; more busy and complicated than it needs to be. Having upgraded the door speakers at least makes CDs sound great but the FM quality is mediocre. The trunk passthrough is nice but the actual trunk opening and capacity is more restricted than it should be for a car of this size. I could go on but you get the idea. The Intrigue turns out to be a mixed bag that I will probably live with for a few years, anyway. If reliability starts to become an issue, away it goes.
