Looking to buy another car
I'm looking at a few Bonnevilles and one Olds LSS
The Olds LSS has all options minus the supercharger, i guess it was not an option with this car.
Anybody have pros or cons about an Oldsmobile LSS 1997 low mile loaded?

My only experience with an Olds was positive. IMO, Olds and Pontiac were the two closest sisters in the GM fold in terms of quality and consistency. Unless you will really miss having supercharged, you already know about the engine. Still, your call as always.

Friend of mine had a 94 LSS. It was a great car, build quality was incredible. At 165,000 miles everything was still tight and the car rode and drove like new. I have always had Oldsmobiles and still do have one and they were always incredible cars.

same friggin thing as a bonneville....
mirrors are rounded off, Grill looks bad, no fog lights, no Lumbar..SE Suspension usually, however LSS-SC came with the F41 (my old LSSSC did)
I have put over 20,000 miles on mine over the past 15 months with no issues other than normal things.
Same drivetrain issues as bonnevilles.
Good cheap reliable cars.
