Nevermind the last one...just give me a ‘55 or ‘57 Super 88.
The probably want to sell it because its leaking fluids all over their garage floor
That’s been my experience with Oldsmobiles.
Ping.
I know why GM discontinued it, crappiest pile of engineering EVER.
Pontiac, Saturn and Hummer wer discontinued as part of the 2009 bankruptcy filing. What GM learned, painfully, in the Oldsmobile situation is that franchise value has to be compensated to dealers when you choose to shutter a marque. I think it ended up costing GM $2B to compensate all the former Oldsmobile dealerships. When the bankruptcy arrived in 2009 it was the ideal setting to scuttle the lines that were not performing - the franchise agreements were terminated within the bankruptcy and dealers were compensated very little by comparison to the Olds denouement.
(Not the actual car from the article, just a generic 2004 Alero.)
I'll give you $0.50, and I won't charge you a towing fee.
I’d rather remember the marquee as a convertible 442 with Linda Vaughn aboard than this milquetoast shopping cart.
Junk cars made by democrat union thugs. Spit!
For the life of me, I do not understand how General Motors is still in business.
Their cars are subpar, boring and ugly looking. They are undependable and have less than average resale value.
I’d sooner buy a Kia or Hyundai than a GM.
If anybody cared about Oldsmobile they’d still be selling them.
Not a big olds fan but had a couple.
Had a 97 Aurora with a “shortstar” engine and that thing had a great growl and was a rocket sled considering is was luggin around approx 4,000 lbs.
My son’s first car was an 88 Toronado with 260k miles on it. Had smoked windows which were illegal in our state at the time(it was a Mich. car), course that’s how my son got his first ticket. Car’s probably still running...somewhere.
The best car I ever owned was a 65 Olds Delta 88 with a 360 HP 425 Rocket V8. I think the HP rating was very conservative.
It was my Father’s then my Brothers then mine. It was still running great when I sold it with well over 200,000 miles.
Other than routine maintenance I think the only repairs were 4 different water pumps which was basically a fifteen minute repair. Also had to replace the AC compressor seal. I had to take the compressor to the Olds repair shop. The mechanic charged me a dollar to pull the old one.
The positraction always made a noise but never tore up. It ran like a bat out of hell.
I bid $0.27. It’s all the pocket change I have.
A 2004 Oldsmobile Alero? Now there’s a real collectible item. LOL.
No one calls them Government Motors any more? I think they still owe us taxpayers a few billion.
Awesome. I love the Alero styling. It's got real bling.
