...in an Oldsmobile!
Allow me to introduce you to my first car, a 1998 Oldsmobile Intrigue GLS. It's basically a loaded car, with, as you can see, leather, Bose Sound, sunroof, auto climate control, and the Autobahn package as major options. It set me back $3718, though the Blue Book suggested value for it was around $5000.
For the most part, it's mechanically sound, impressive at 112,416 miles, and the general concensus among my friends is that it's a sexy beast. It has a bad front hub assembly, which will need replacing soon. The leather on the driver seat is torn in one spot, and there's another tear towards the middle of the rear bench. The plastic covering for the treble/bass knob on the radio is broken, but if I pinch it hard enough, it's still functional. Otherwise, it's in great shape. It recently passed Pennsylvania state inspection and emisssions testing, both of which are much more stringent than the comparable test in Maryland, so I'm pretty assured. The 3800 is a gem, I must say. Satisfying exhaust note with plenty of power, all while delivering good fuel economy. Since I bought it, I drove it home from Harrisburg (~132 miles), from home to Bowie and back (~42 miles), and about the city of Laurel (~8 miles), and the gas gauge just began to nuzzle the 3/4 full mark. I'm very pleased with the car...here's to many more happy miles with it.
