So me and the GF bought a 97 Aurora today.. 98000 miles.
There was some oil leaking and the ABS and Traction lights were on so we got the guy down to 3000 bucks..

I figure for 3 grand i didnt do too bad, hes gonna look into the ABS problem before we take delivery in a couple days

PICS COMING SOON

Congrats on the new aurora purchase!

As for the ABS problem:
Occasional problems on this vehicle are failures of the Antilock Brake System (ABS) Pressure Modulator Valve (PMV) and the ABS Relay. The cost to repair the ABS PMV is estimated at $474.00 for parts and $117.00 for labor. The cost to repair the ABS Relay is estimated at $12.00 for parts and $26.00 for labor. All prices are estimates based on $65 per flat rate hour and do not include diagnostic time or any applicable sales tax.

For the oil leak, I'm not too positive of what it could be. We'd need a little more details, etc.

im not too concerned abouit the ABS, its not worth me putting 500 into fixing it.. The oil leak im assuming is one of the crank seals or the oil pan... the pan has some wet spots on it but doesnt look t be leaking all that badly..

well, the aurora forum sucks, i get timeouty errors constantly so im going to ask this here,
what is the stock qtr mile and 0-60 times for my new purchase..

sorry about that. we're having some problems with our hosting problems. We were afraid it would drive away new members.. The stock 0-60 time non autobahn is around 8.2 seconds. With autobahn it is closer to 7.8. Quartermile is high 15'* low 16'*. I don't know the exact numbers for the 1/4. It should be significantly faster than a 00' N/A Bonneville though.

saw a 97 aurora with autobahn at the track last year pull 16.5 @ 87ish

Congrats on your purchase! I miss being on the Olds side of the force
1984 Hurst Olds 442
1990 Olds Cutlass
2000 Olds Alero
1996 Olds Cutlass Sumpreme

$3000 for a 97'. Thats cheap. I wish my car would've been 3K because of the oil leaks.

thats why it was 3000
but im very please, i picked up the car tonight and they fixed the ABS for me!

As one of the ACNA Forum moderators, let me also echo an apology for the forum performance lately. These errors just started popping up recently, and we're still trying to figure out the details. :? Anywho, congrats on your purchase! You might want to consider running a treatment of Auto-RX through the engine systems, which might even clear up your oil leak. Here'* a thread all about it, if the forum happens to be up next time you're surfing. Here'* another thread from the old Aurora boards as well.
