August 8, 200718 yr I just got another car, its a silver 2001 Oldsmobile Aurora 3.5 V6 with 80,000 miles. Drove a couple of Auroras and this one seems the best in terms of condition. I was shocked at how well the 3.5 pulls the car around, and the interior is a very nice black leather. Tomarrow I have to go pick it up and get it registered, I CAN"T WAIT!!!!!
August 8, 200718 yr Congrats on the Aurora purchase! Please post pictures and more details about the car ASAP.
August 8, 200718 yr Cool, enjoy! If I had two cars fom the '80s and one from the '90s then my next purchase would be from the 1950s if not pre-war.
August 8, 200718 yr If I had two cars fom the '80s and one from the '90s then my next purchase would be from the 1950s if not pre-war. Agreed. I defintely need to some day stop being just a spectator at the local "Vintage Era Days" (pre-WWII only) car & truck show.
August 9, 200718 yr Author Ill try to get some pics of it this weekend, and Ill get a group pick of all my GM cars.
August 9, 200718 yr Nice choice. The secong-gen Aurora is a better car than many of GM's current offerings. For you, that's a good thing.
August 9, 200718 yr Oooooh an Antares, er, Aurora owner! A beautiful choice. I don't even need to see pictures to tell you that.

Congrats to you and your new vehicle. Congrats to you staying loyal to Oldsmobile. I hope to see photos soon. My co worker as a Aurora 3.5. I helped her buy her car. She has been very happy with the choice. I think you will be too.
August 10, 200718 yr I like that generation, but I love the previous generation. The one Fly owns. I saw an absolutely beautiful one in front of me today, coming back from the doctor for my arm.
August 10, 200718 yr Congrats on the beautiful car! IMO the Aurora, especially 2nd gen is still one of the best midsize cars GM has built to date.
August 10, 200718 yr Author Thanks all! I got the car today and it is great! I should have pictures soon! It was a long process finding the right Aurora, I drove some, and this was the best of them. I drove a black one a few days before this one and it was a mess.
August 10, 200718 yr Congrats on the Aurora. It's still one of my favorite cars. The V6 doesn't give up much performance over the V8 because of the lighter weight, and I'd venture to guess that it would be more reliable too.
