02 Silhouette

Tucker442 · 10-16-2006, 12:15 PM

This is the latest buy of Oldsmobiles in the house. My wife loves it and I guess I will be keeping it running until it either rots away or gets crashed beyond repair. It's got just over 71k, bought it new, serviced it regulary. No problems other than the seat covers rubbing through the edges in the bottom of the seat back. After seeing how the seat frame is built I can understand why. I looked at the pontiac and chevy models and they are the same way but other than that it has been a great automobile.

So what about your OTHER Oldsmobiles?

BTW congratulations on being the one to finally post in this sub category of Silhouettes. I was wondering how long it would take.

Got 88K on it now and still gets over 27 mpg on the highway running between 65 and 70. It's a shame that Olds went out of business because now I guess I'll just have to buy used ones after this one wears out

Welcome! You could make your wife really like the minivan if you dropped a blown 455 into it!

Let me tell ya I'd love to find a way to put in the 3800 that is in my 92 88. That car runs like a top, gets better mileage then the silhouette and can burn the tires. The body on the 92 88 is getting a little shabby but it runs so good I plan on doing the body work over the winter and get it painted in the spring

I've love to put that drive train the in Silhouette but in 97-98 they changed the entire body so the subframe won't fit in the newer body and the 3800 is too wide for the engine compartment but thanks for the offer.
