Question about Aurora production

Keieljun · 04-09-2008, 08:01 AM

Were the last Auroras manufactured in 2003 or 2004?

If 2004, then were all body types (coupes, sedans, etc.) manufactured then?

(Is there such a thing as an Aurora coupe, anyway? I forgot to check...)

I'm asking because it might be kinda nice to get a 2004 Olds - either Aurora or Alero - for gobs of personal-choice reasons. Wikipedia and other sources didn't cover production as far as I could see, and eBay only lists Auroras out to 2003.

2003 was the last year for the Aurora. They only came as sedans. There were three versions - the 3.5 liter 6, the 4.0 liter 8 and the Final 500 edition (only came as a 4.0).

Here's some information - NOTHING ELSE (besides the Intrigue) uses that 3.5 engine. Think about parts down the road.

I believe the 4.0L V8 was the Cadillac Northstar engine.
