Replying to: tres_74 (Feb 05, 2007 2:42 pm) So my question is, is this car doomed even IF I get the tranny fixed? Because it's starting to have issues again and it's either needing to get fixed very soon or traded off (even though I'd love to avoid a new car payment if at all possible since I'm so close to paying it off). Thank you in advance, ~Tracy

Replying to: tres_74 (Mar 14, 2007 4:23 am) If everything else is working in the car fine, I would fix the car. You are looking at $2200 in repairs and payments to get free which is not a lot of money. Hopefully you can get another year out of the Intrigue without a major problem which will make the repair worthwhile. then you can save for a down payment on a new car if something else major happens. I have not heard of any other issues with the transmission.

Replying to: dtownfb (Mar 14, 2007 9:35 am) I have a 1999 Olds Intrigue GX with 128,000 miles on it. And this is the only thing, besides general maintenance and wear and tear, that has given problems for this car. A good drive otherwise. I would prefer to keep it and drive all I can out of it, especially because, like you mention, no car dealership will give me what it's really worth, even if I have it fixed. Usually in the past experiences I've had, they'll usually give you MAYBE $500-$1000 for the trade-in if it's that old. And Intrigues seem to be for sale EVERYWHERE around here too, so not really a hot commodity. I really appreciate your honesty, thanks for your help! ~Tracy

I have a 1999 Olds Intrigue with 133,000miles. There has been an oil leak but Im not sure if it has anything to do with this problem. The car just stop moving one day at a stop light. As soon as I push the gas it said "NO" and we were stuck at the light. It was making a LOUD, VERY LOUD grinding sound. None of the gears work, not P,R,N,D,2,or 1. I have to put on parking brake for car to stay still. What should I do, salvage and move on or fix??? some said it might just be the drive shaft??

Replying to: dtownfb (Apr 19, 2007 5:46 pm) I'll have this car paid off by the end of this year, and I fully intend on just running it til it doesn't run anymore. After all, from my experiences with this car as well as what I've read online, the tranny is about the only major issue with this car and that's been taken care of. I've got a 1 year warranty on this rebuilt tranny so that's even better. Thanks for all your advice and help. (And yes, thankfully my husband is able to do most everything as far as car repairs.) ~Tracy
