#4 of 178 Hello from Jim by nne3jxc Aug 31, 2001 (5:57 pm)
Hi all,   I was pleased to find such an active discussion group. It's been a real help for a "newbie" Aurora owner such as myself. The new club should be even better!   Jim C - New Hampshire 1995 Autobahn Red on Tan "Red" = either "Dark Cherry" or "Medium Garnet" (I'll have to look up the paint code.)

The Aurora board at Edmunds Town Hall really helped me in the spring to decide to get the Aurora. I owe a belated "Thank you" to all who contributed to that board for the last 6 months. I'm still tickled with the car. My jaws are sore from grinning so much.   3.5 V6 Silver with Bose, sunroof, and chrome mags (that's rims for all you young whippersnappers.)

Hi folks, I'm Robert Hammen, from Waukesha (Milwaukee), Wisconsin, and I've been an Aurora addict since April 4. I, too, credit the folks on this board with helping me formulate my addiction. I loved the look of the Aurora from the minute I saw it back in 1994, but, despite being a well-paid computer geek, could never afford it until I stumbled across my Black Beauty (a '98 w/all options) back in March (see <http://www.hammen.net/car> - still can't believe I got her, with only 27k mi on her, for $17k, after she sat on the dealer's lot for 9 months). My mother-in-law used to work at the Lake Orion, MI plant that built the Auroras (she works in Janesville, WI, now, building Tahoes and Yukons), and she's on her second (she had a black '95, which she traded in on an SUV, and instantly regretted that. It took her only 6 months and a huge financial hit to come back to a pearl white '98 w/everything but Autobahn)... --Robert

I just purchased my Aurora 2 weeks ago. Never thought I'd be able to get one, but it was a steal at $19,400. The salesman asked my why I was trading a 2000 Buick Regal for a 1999 car. He just didn't understand. How many people are not that impressed with the redesign of the Aurora? I parked mine next to a 2001 model and it was obvious which was more eye-catching. Look forward to chatting with everyone here   1999 Aurora - Black/Tan

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.

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.
