Also you might want to read through the Oldsmobile Aurora Owners: Problems & Solutions post, you might find tons of information there about the Aurora's problems.   Javi http://www.cardomain.com/id/javidogg

If I were you I would keep the $500 car as a parts car and buy another Aurora of the same year on ebay. This way your "investment" dollars may be the most effective for you since the cars on ebay generally do not go for much and you get a working drivable car to start with. Just a thought.

I have spent alot of money on E-bay already buying all the small broken and missing incidentals, It has become a quest to search almost daily. I have purchased door switches, hub caps, jack, antenna, owners manual, Factory service manuals, cup holder, and I still need alot more stuff. I was inspired to write here because of the Aurora problems and solutions post.
#102 of 178 Hello by mike4l May 02, 2004 (1:16 pm)
Hello all, my name is Mike and I am an Aurora fan(atic). Perhaps you'll find it odd, but I do not own one as of yet. Last month I drove my friend's 98 classic, and wanted an Aurora ever since: The performance, good looks, and usability of the Aurora seem perfectly balanced to my taste and simply can't be beat by any other automobile. I test drove the classic, the current v6 and v8 model, and after some deliberation decided on the current v8 model. I am currently in the process of building up funds to buy one sometime late May. Until then, I'll keep on learning about this great automobile and hope to participate in group discussions!

Sounds great hope to see you here in a couple of weeks and hopefully you'll show us pictures of your new Aurora.   Welcome aboard.   Javi Http://www.cardomain.com/id/javidogg Replies to this message: mike4l (May 03, 2004 11:27 am)

#105 of 178 My 2003 4.0 by bryan May 03, 2004 (3:34 pm)
Found this site by researching a new car purchase. I have enjoyed reading all the posts and have found them very helpful as I made my decision on a new car. Unfortunately for me, it will not be a new Oldsmobile Aurora. I already have a 2003 Bordeaux Red 4.0, that I really enjoy. It has most if not all the options, including the gold package. It was a spec order by the dealer and I bought it via GM Buy Power the day after it was delivered . Great deal with 0% financing, extended warranty--too good NOT to do. I use it mostly as long hauler on weekend trips to the Delaware coast--130 miles each way. Great comfort, and plenty of power when needed on the two-lane roads.   Because Oldsmobile no longer exists, I ordered a 2004 Pontiac Bonneville GXP, due for delivery mid to late May, and will also use it for long haul trips--now I'll just have two Northstars to choose from. I'll miss the Oldsmobile brand, and I have owned several--77 Cutlass Supreme Salon coupe, 83 98 Regency sedan; 95 Cutlass Convertible; 96 LSS, and the 03 Aurora. I really like the body styling coupled with the performance. In fact, I still own the Cutlass and the LSS, in addition to the Aurora.   I've had a few problems with the Aurora--Bose stereo was defective; sunroof rattled mercilessly unless the sunshade was open all the way; back seat replaced due to bad spring; cup holder was rattling and had to be "reset", and one of the monitor sensors (check coolant level) was replaced. Nothing too serious--it was all repaired/replaced under warranty, and I got the car back freshly washed each time! Performance wise--I've put on 12,000 trouble-free miles in 15 months. And, I'm getting 25.4 to 25.7 miles per gallon on the highway.

I'd love to see some pictures of the Bordeaux Red. I am curious how it differs from the Cherry Metallic. Replies to this message: bryan (May 04, 2004 2:21 pm)

Replying to: rjs200240 (May 04, 2004 12:17 pm) The car is going in for service next week--oil change, etc. I will also have them "new car prep" it, which is a new service this dealer is now offering. I'll get some pix of it really clean and shiny, and then try and post them (real amateur here). The Bordeaux Red is darker than your Cherry Metallic, I know for sure. I was really taken by the high/low contrast between the paint and the light tan interior, and when it is clean, the car gets noticed. However, not everyone believes it's an Oldsmobile. I enjoyed looking at your pix--your car is awesome looking.
