Just picked up a 2000 Alero GLS with 86K miles on it, western and girl driven. Been having a blast with it so far, it's already had a rebuilt transmission, new intake gaskets, water pump, thermostat, and all it needed was brakes. I'm new to Aleros but I've driven oldsmobiles since I started driving. Anyway, hello from KY!

Thanks! I don't have any pics yet, it's got the 3400 in it. I was going to go with an 01 with the quad 4, but got spooked by that interference drivetrain.

Hate to ruin your day but the 3400 is an interference engine as well.

Guess I should've been more specific. The timing chain is kind of a problem with the quads? I've had pretty good luck out of the 60 degree motors too, so why change a good thing?
