What Owners are Saying About the 1998 Oldsmobile Silhouette
"DEPENDABLE VAN"
"I bought this van used with 59,000 miles, it did not give me any problems until about 190,000 miles. I would have done better if i had kept all the fluids changed every 3-5 years."
"Great on Gas, Awesome for long trips, comfort."
"love this van and you will as well"
"This is a Work Horse!"
"I use this minivan for my work van and when the relatives come into town, we load up the seats and drive away! It holds a full 8x4 sheet of plywood and many hundreds of pounds of tools and materials! I took this van when it had only 165,000 miles on an extended trip to Vegas loaded with 3 people and lots of work equipment. She rode slowly with all that weight and the air working(100 degrees +) but she got us there and back again to Minnesota. She shifts hard these days but I look at her as a grand old lady who has been the beauty at the ball and now is aging gracefully. I'll be sorry to drive her to the junk yard."
