That thing looks sweet!

I liked the Impluse blue on the GTO better.

I love that color!

I think with the new Malibu and CTS, GM will finish strong the last half of '07. The Enclave is still just taking off also. Not even every Buick dealer has recieved one!

I don't like the beaver teeth. Thought they'd grow on me but no they didn't!

Once again Fly thanks for all your help. I just hope he shoots me a fair price, and I can get it for me, errr my son. Maybe I'll keep 4 cars. :AH-HA_wink:

I know I haven't had a chance to look at it yet. As for the sticker price? And what is resonable price when buying from a consumer that you know as your sons teacher? Also I taught with the owner of the Aurora's wife for a few years. I have seen prices ranging from 6K-10K for like the same car. I am hoping to spend no more than 7.5K on one is that resonable for a 2001 Aurora 3.5L with moonroof?

Thanks Fly, I look foward to your next reply full of information!

I can't recall ever seeing that color is it close to my cranberry red? Is it pretty in the sun or is it ugly? Not that I really care... What about memory seats will it have that? So how is it that the trunk leaks, er gets wet? Also will I have a problem with the moonroof/sunroof leaking if I get it? What is the difference between the sunroof or moonroof also. I also get confused.

Well I have some more details about the Aurora, it has a moonroof, no Onstar, no Bose sound-system or heated seats. Also it just has the regular 16' alloy wheels. Can anyone tell me what the other big options were along with an estimated sticker price? By the way the car is Maroon with a tan-ish interior. Any idea what the color is called?

I do want a V8 so the CTS is no good. I don't want to spend that much money. Because the CTS I would get would push well over 40K!

They said that but the 4cyl/6spd. is coming next year!

You are looking at a GT check the badge.

68 I am in love with this car. It is RWD now doesn't that make you happy. I like it more than the CTS!

Glad the Camry lost. I am happy. Car and Driver will give the Camry second too, as it has been on their ten best list how many times. The Camry hasn't made it once. (Correct me if I am wrong!) I think each of these cars is ugly I like the 2007 Accord much better. I would get an Altima if I HAD to get an import sedan. Honda why did you ruin the Accord?

All I have heard so far is good. He is still trying to figure out what he wants for it. I doubt I would give him anything over 8 grand. Thanks so much for all the help. I will update with the progress, if it is too high I won't buy. If it fits into what I consider fair it prolly will be a done deal.

Thanks Fly that was just what I needed. So should I go for it? Once again thanks for everyones help so far, I am still thinking on it.

Thanks that is a good way to put it. The 3800 has lots of low end pull but I can rest assured the Aurora will move. I agree the SLE feels alot faster than it is. Do they sound good with the dual exhaust when you fire 'em up?

Fuel economy? And is it just a good car? Will it have about the same amount of guts (or nuts as some say) as my Bonneville SLE?

I have been very busy for the past 4 weeks half a$$ car shopping in part because of the new 3,000 rebate on Equinox/Torrent got me thinking. Either way my sons car *actually mine!* is getting old. The Grand Prix has been a good car for us but at 115,000 miles and rattles and that dent in the door, I have been thinking about getting him something newer. My wife has had the same thought. He had just said get a Torrent or Equinox and hand the Impala down to him. Fact is my wife loves that car (I have no clue why she loves it, it is just a nice car!). She wants to try to save money and go used... I would love to actually give GM some buisness and go new. I have been considering it and I am getting quotes over the net etc. But it has come to my attention my son's cross country coach/PE teacher (he is actually the manager) may be selling his 2001 Olds Aurora 3.5L Sedan to get a newer 2003 Olds Aurora 4.0L with navigation. My son has been wanting a 2003-2005 Grand Am GT Coupe or Sunfire (w/5spd) he would really like a G5. But the idea of a large car has its appeals to him and me. I have no clue on price I am guessing it will be around 7,500-8,500 it is maroon with most options but chrome wheels, heated seats and the V8. The car has 62,XXX almost 63,000 miles on it would that be a good car? It is nicer than my wifes and she will not DRIVE another red Olds. My 88 blew 2 trannys lol but other than that was a great car. My wife called it the old lady car. She was only in her 30's when she drove it. My two old aunts owned it and drove it to chruch. But uhh seriously is the backseat roomy? How is the engine as far as reliablity wise? Will the 3.5 run on regular grade gas not premium? What kind of fuel economy will it deliever and will it hold up to the abuse (sorta not abuse abuse) but my teenage son and his need for well speed. What is this car worth and should I consider. It has been waxed and very well maintained also garged its whole life and was purchased new in 2001 for the local Olds dealer. So what to do? I am starting to consider, my son would just be happy for a new car and one with a 215hp V6 none the less. Along with a SUNROOF! Just thinking FLY, this one is for you! And 98 I understand you know Olds like the back of your hand! Also what was the approx. sticker price? What is the axle ratio? What is the tranny? - A 4T65E maybe? What is the axle ratio? And what is a zero to sixty time? What are the exact specs on the motor like I know it is a 3.5L DOHC V6 with 215hp but how much tq. and how many cubes is it? Any help is GREATLY APPERCIATED! I am not the know it all about OLDS MAN like some folks around here are! Are there any big problems these cars have and need to get replaced like a blown head gasket you know. Or the clunk noise on my SLE's steering rack?

Hey I love this car. I would get an STS with the performance package and the 3.6L in Cherry or White with cashmere leather. I am drooling. I would get a DTS first then an STS!

I do mean 4.9L V8 she wasn't no six.

Any photos? If it was a Super I would get slightly excited.

Thank you fly I thought the same thing. We have to wait another year for the six speeds in the GMT-900's and the Malibu with a 4 cylinder. $h!! They build something good and still manage to f@#k it up! Just like with the Silverado and Tahoe etc.

Just make FWD to keep SOME volume in the brand. You need some volume to keep Pontiac going. I think 100,000 G6 sales is resonable. You don't need to be perfectly lined up with BMW. Also who says FWD cars can't handle and pull good G's?
