1994 Oldsmobile Silhouette

Great Minni Van !

By KJ (RI) on Thursday, October 20, 2011

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 117,500

Pros: "Easy to drive and plenty of room."

Cons: "None"

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10

"Has 3.8 engine. Only replaced alternator, brakes, tires, thermostat. Mostly normal maintenance. I drive this van back and forth to Fl and get an amazing 27 mpg with it.Just change oil and filters and go. My only problem has been the right electric sliding door sticks sometimes when it's cold outside. It's also great in the New England snow ! Too bad they don't make this one anymore."

Best Van ever!

By dvincent84 (Salt lake City, Utah) on Thursday, January 28, 2010

"I have a 1990 - its a classic! I live in Salt Lake and it still hasn't started rusting. I drove it to Las Vegas in back a ton of times with no problems. It overheated a few times due to a leak in the water outlet, age just started catching up i guess. I took it through the drive through wedding chapel and got married in it."

Hate to lose it

By Torpedo (Illinois) on Thursday, May 07, 2009

"Bought this 1991 in 1991 NEW. Now it has 225,000+ miles on it with absolutely NO major repairs. Doesn't burn a drop of oil between changes. Never any engine or tranny work - just normal maintenance - brakes, tires, oil changes, etc.. It has been all over the US from Cal to Florida. Now it has developed major front suspension wear which would cost more than the value of the van so it is time to put it to rest.. I have never had a vehicle that could be used for so many things. It has been used for everything from hauling kids, 4x8 sheets of plywood, trees, dirt, gravel, sod, garbage, you name it it's hauled it. It now must go to Silhouette heaven (if there is one). This is really the best vehicle I have ever owned and I will really miss it."
