#11 of 178 Hello from Matthew by iahmatthew Sep 01, 2001 (6:00 pm)
Hello -   I live in Houston, TX - So I enjoy the speed.   I have a 97 Champaign and Tan Aurora.   Hopefully this forum will be a tool to eliminate high cost analysis from the dealer when others have already experienced some of the same issues.   Best of luck and nice to meet you all.
#13 of 178 Hello from Les by blk97aurora Sep 02, 2001 (6:18 pm)
Greetings from Freehold, NJ. And thanks to everyone who had a hand in getting this started.   I bought my black 1997 exactly two years ago at 37,000 miles; it has the light gray interior and sunroof -- no other factory options. It is my eighth Oldsmobile, out of 14 total vehicles (not counting motorcycles) owned in 38 years of driving.   Modifications include addition of a Valentine 1 radar locator and K&N air filter element, removal of front and rear logo and script, and blacking out the silver trim around the side windows. The exterior is now truly monochrome black except for the stock wheels.   My interests lean toward performance and safety improvements (handling, braking, acceleration). I have enjoyed participating in the Edmunds Town Hall immensely and hope this owners' club is as successful. I really appreciate the positive, helpful, and informative posts.   One last thing -- I am a member (since 1971) of the Oldsmobile Club of America. Members of the club fall into two main categories (my view): (1) restoration of old Oldsmobiles and (2) 1960s and 1970s performance and muscle cars. If anyone is interested to learn more about OCA, reply to this message or contact me separately at lester.youngworldnet.att.net. My agenda is to get more Aurora owners into OCA. At last year's national meet in Parsippany, NJ, three out of 400+ show cars were Auroras. This year in Denver, CO, about five out of 442 show cars were Auroras.

Hey all, not an Aurora owner but I am an Oldsmobile owner(2001 Intrigue) and I do really like the Aurora though. Also like discussion of Oldsmobiles as I have always liked them. I'm 26 so I haven't owned alot of cars, but the Intrigue is my 3rd Olds and first brand new one. My first car was an 82 Cutlass and I later had an 89 Touring Sedan which was a hand me down from my father. The T-sedan was a very nice car. I think it was actually nicer than most Cadillacs were at that time. I really wanted a 98 or 99 low mileage Aurora, but could not find one with the options or color combo I wanted so I went with a completely loaded brand new Intrigue GLS.   black97aurora. Regarding the Olds club of America. Are there many current Olds owners as members? I particularly like the Intrigue and Aurora and also the late 80s Touring Sedans and Toronados. Just wondering if there were many members there who like to discuss or have knowledge of those models.
#15 of 178 Heya from David (a.k.a. Van Man) by vwbus1979 Sep 04, 2001 (1:01 pm)
Hey folks! Van Man here to speak the truth about the Aurora from Portland, OR.   I've owned 35+ (Now I forget) cars in my 30 years here on the planet. Not much has changed over the years, but the Aurora is different. It is not built from the same standards as modern day cars. The design, engineering and very thought of this car is complete, from bumper to bumper.   As long as my '97 Black/Black gold edition is still running and able, I will NEVER EVER get rid of it. I've never said that about a car before.   This forum is dedicated to those who look for answers to their complicated Aurora problems. Zinc and I hold the record for the longest in-service contracts! (6 weeks each) Many thanks to Edmunds (Pat) for letting us post, because without this service, I would be a lost Aurora owner for SURE!   The Van Man has spoken.
#16 of 178 Hello from C.C. Wiley by cwiley1 Sep 04, 2001 (7:10 pm)
I live in Wichita, KS.   I have a '95 and a '97 Aurora. Both have autobahn, sunroof and all the other extras. They are the greatest cars I have driven in many years.   I have enjoyed the chat room column. It gives me a lot of knowledge and problems to look for. I just got the extended warranty for the '95 from warrantybynet.com that I found in the chat talks. My current extended warranty expires in a couple of months.   Keep up the good work.
#17 of 178 Hello from Brett by wingnut396 Sep 04, 2001 (7:12 pm)
Hi there!   As some may know, I am a lurker and occassion poster on the Aurora thread.   I bought a sweet White 98 from a dealer in Vegas off of Ebay. I had been looking at 300Ms and what not, but the Olds just had everything I wanted in spades. The V8 is not match for a Mopar 6.   Wish all happy motoring in their real or vitual Aurora!
#18 of 178 hi by matrixfrog Sep 07, 2001 (5:49 am)
My name is Daron Starkweather from Charlotte Michigan. I have a 1998 Dark Metallic Green/charcoal interior Aurora w/ currently 70k miles on it. I got the heated seats, sunroof, and gold package. I wish I had the chrome wheels. Look for mods in the future...
#19 of 178 Hello to all by gisom Sep 07, 2001 (5:55 am)
My name is Greg Isom from Chicago. I have a 95 champaign with the autobahn, sunroof, and the heated seats. This car no doubt turns heads. I have learned from our fellow aurorians a lot of things about the aurora. This is no doubt the best car I have owned. Replies to this message: phil95 (Aug 13, 2006 2:43 pm)
#20 of 178 Hi from Brad in NC by taylorb27614 Sep 07, 2001 (6:09 am)
This site gave me all the info I needed to help in the decision the buy a 98 Diamond white on beige,Autobaun, sunroof, Bose, chrome wheels, 32K miles. After 8 months I couldn't be more pleased with the car plus I found a good Caddy/Olds dealer that has helped with some minor stuff. Looking into extended warranty from Warranty Direct. Would love to hear experiences from others having this plan. Replies to this message: dawntreader (Jun 14, 2005 10:29 am) hammen2 (Jun 14, 2005 5:46 pm)
