Lexus looks and Cadillac luxury. Oldsmobile's last flagship luxury auto. This is a unique and rarely seen vehicle. I purchased this 1 owner car from a dealer as a trade-in in 2006 and coincidentally have met the original owner who happens to live in my neighborhood.
I bought this car as a long distance interstate commuter. Car had roughly 60,000 miles when I purchased it and now has 104,000. Most of these miles where driven in the first 2 years. I have sinced moved closer to my original destination and use this car only for luxury purposes, I have other vehicles for work.
I have maintained this car very well. It looks very good and has been kept detailed and cleaned at all times. Exterior paint overall other than normal road wear looks excellent. Interior seats, door panels, dash and console are also excellent. No rips, stains or marks (of course driver's seat shows the most wear but compared to most cars with similar age/miles, mine is above average). Car has original alloy rims with good condition performance driving tires(I also have excellent condition Michelin all season radials included with car). This is a car to be proud of.
This car runs, rides and brakes as it should... no odd sounds, clunks or rattles. A/C blows ice cold and can be set for fully automatic temperature. Passenger can adjust there own temperature setting. Did I mention how clean this car is? But here is the bad news... headliner has been reglued in areas around sunroof, but still looks presentable. Rear passenger windows do not operate (this was a notoriuos problem on Olds Aurora's). Fuel gage shows correct after starting but often will read higher than actual (i drive this car by the trip meter).
Other than the above mentioned road wear, there is a scratch on rear bumper, black mark from road cone on front right bumper and scratch on drivers side mirror as shown in pictures. The original alloy's look excellent except for some edge abrasion on two rims.
The car is kept in a climate controlled clean garage in Easton Maryland. Asking price is $5000.00, I can be contacted via email, if you are serious I will be glad to telephone you.
Buyer is responsible for pickup and delivery of vehicle.

Ferrari FF pitted against Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser in crazy Generation Gap comparison
Thu, 13 Nov 2014The folks behind Generation Gap have lost their minds with this latest video. The goal here is to determine the ultimate family cruiser, but the choices are what you would least expect, with a heavily modded 1970 Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser going up against a 2012 Ferrari FF.
You might anticipate an over-40-year-old Oldsmobile to pale in comparison to any modern Ferrari, but this wagon has a ton of secrets under its skin thanks to Lingenfelter. First, it packs a supercharged LS3 V8 with a claimed 650 horsepower and a six-speed manual gearbox. That big upgrade in power is further helped with air suspension and massive Wilwood disc brakes. The result is nothing short of deafening, with blaring yelps whenever the driver even nudges the accelerator.
The alternative sounds just as good, albeit in very different way. The Ferrari's 6.3-liter V12 pumps out 651 hp and 504 pound-feet with a part-time all-wheel drive system. While the FF lacks a lot of the hauling ability of the Olds, it makes up for the deficit in handling, luxury, and in many eyes, simply by having the famous prancing horse on the grille.
GM recalling 8.4M cars, 8.2M related to ignition problems
Mon, 30 Jun 2014General Motors today announced a truly massive recall covering some 8.4 million vehicles in North America. Most significantly, 8.2 million examples of the affected vehicles are being called back due to "unintended ignition key rotation," though GM spokesperson Alan Adler tells Autoblog that this issue is not like the infamous Chevy Cobalt ignition switch fiasco.
For the sake of perspective, translated to US population, this total recall figure would equal a car for each resident of New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Montana, Delaware, South Dakota, Alaska, North Dakota, the District of Columbia, Vermont and Wyoming. Combined. Here's how it all breaks down:
7,610,862 vehicles in North America being recalled for unintended ignition key rotation. 6,805,679 are in the United States.
Jay Leno bangs up his own Toronado in GT6
Wed, 11 Dec 2013Ever since Gran Turismo 4, Jay Leno has had at least one of his cars included in the popular racing simulator (starting with the Tank Car), and more of his machines appears in Gran Turismo 6. They include this nose-heavy, front-wheel-drive V8-powered muscle car. Yes, that aptly describes a 1966 Oldsmobile Toronado - except Leno's is rear-wheel drive. And it has a Cadillac CTS-V race engine modified to pump out 1,070 horsepower.
For the latest Jay Leno's Garage episode, he takes his real Toronado out for a cruise and then drives the virtual one like he stole it, accruing some body damage along the way. Leno also drives the virtual supercar Mercedes-Benz designed for GT6, the AMG Vision Gran Turismo Concept that debuted at the LA Auto Show, along with the real one, which is a 1:1-scale model. The model is radio-controlled and equipped with a small electric motor, sufficient to move it on and off of auto show floors.
Head below to watch the episode, which includes a few words from GT6 creator Kazunori Yamauchi.
