if at all possible dont buy from napa they sometimes try to 'rape' you with their super high prices

try these auto parts store if you have them by you (my order)
autozone
advance auto
pepboys (go here before napa)
napa (last resort option)

I had never had the window motor regulator, LIMG, or the blower motor resistor go out.

Don't let em scare ya

unless it doesnt have the self-destruct option i prefer leak over self destruct unless the leak gets too bad and other things start to act up then i would go to the self destruct engine

I'm 16 and I just purchased my 4th car last Saturday. No, I'm not a rich spoiled kid, whose parents buy him everything he wants. I work hard for what I've got. My previous vehicles: 1st was a 1979 Mercury Capri (project car), 2nd was a 95 Dodge Intrepid (daily driver for a while), 3rd and latest was my 89 Jeep Wagoneer that I partially restored. Anyways, down to the Alero.

This is my (and my family's) first GM product. It is a 2001 Olds Alero GLS 2dr. It has the 3.4 and about 73k miles on it. It has sunroof, leather, CD player, 16"s . It has the spoiler and I believe it has the sports suspension. I bought it for $4200. The only bad part is that it needs two window regulators and both windows are down. They should get here by the end of the week, though, and I'll be rollin!

Here's some pics: (I know it needs washed, but not with both windows down!)

same as mine......... i need one of those center caps if you change rims well anyways just fyi grand am and aleros like to switch parts back and forth and you can now visit nbodyforums also check out www.pfyc.com maybe an intake off ebay from chromeintakes

Welcome, I like those style stock rims.

Please keep the alero clean, no rice!

[SCOlds]

Steve-o, I absolutely love the look of your car! I plan on keeping it mainly stock for now, but I'm definitely not going to rice it out. So far I have replaced the radiator cap, the PCV valve, a fog light bulb, wipers, and replaced the turn signals with Silverstar turn signals. (I don't think thats rice, at least they light up the legal color) Here are some newer pics:

[steve-o]

He thinks he's cool, and he probably looks like this:

lol if you got rid of the chrome, flames, swapped the rims, and did something about the hideous spoiler it wouldn't look that bad
