Added another Olds to the family today :)

We needed to replace my daughters '98 Intrigue that has 260k+ miles on it so we went out today and bought a ..uhh...yeah, '98 Intrigue with a little over 100k miles. She's purdy and hopefully I have an endless supply of replacement parts.

Congrats !!
I know that the 3.8 will go for ever as they are good drive trains as long as you maintain them

Why does it look like black smoke rolling out of the car behind hers....a Viking funeral? Perhaps it's my iPhones sense of humor

Sharp color btw

Set that old intrigue in a fiery blaze across the water? She deserves it. Man I love these 3.8L motors.
She should be happy, it only cost her $500. I'm not saying what it cost me (but it wasn't much). I'm just hoping that color doesn't get her into trouble.

Congrats Mac. You're right about the 3800's, great engines and good for 200k +. Hope you have a place to keep the other one for spare parts.
