Not quite an alero but still, beautiful day for a photo shoot!
Who are the other Intrigue owners on here? What forum do you recommend for them? This is a great old car, I love the handling and it has plenty of power. courtesy lighting everywhere, couldn't be happy. Needs a bit of things here and there, but nothing major. This title says it was sold new in 04 with 30,000 miles. Demo car maybe? Looks like they installed the spoiler early in it's life, did a good job, LED lit! Needs wheel hubs, trans mount, coolant tank, and fresh fluids. Other than that, good to go. We've already driven it a few hundred miles. Super happy with the Olds again!

Fuel gauge sits at full and occasionally goes down to show the actual level. Is this probably the float/tank side or a needle/gauge cluster problem?

Sorry for posting on this kinda late, but I haven't been on the site in a while. Congrats on the newish ride lol. I used to have a 99 Intrigue GX myself. Is the spoiler stock? Cause mine had one as well with a LED 3rd brake light. As for forums, I was on W-body.com back when I had mine. They were usually pretty helpful when needed.

^ What he said on checking the oil. The 3.5L is notorious for it.
