1993 Oldsmobile Silhouette 3.8 V6 from North America
Summary:
Great value for a minivan
Faults:
Bought it with oil leak from the valve gasket. $130 to replace it.
Water pump leaked. Fixed it for $120.
Some minor problems with certain wiring.
General Comments:
Very stable and reliable family van. I bought it when I was a student and had the flexibility to move my stuff around.
Great fuel efficiency on highways with its overdrive.
Spacious inside and comfortable on long rides.
Others don't believe the odometer considering the quick start and quiet engine.
Awesome on snow and wet roads.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Don't Know

What type of electrical problems did you experience? I have a 1999 Silhouette and am seeing the dash light for the TCS and Brakes come on. Also see the turn-signal indicators (Both) come on when I hit the brakes if the lights are on. The blinkers operate normally unless I hit the brakes while they are on then they blink rapidly. I have replaced all of the bulbs and the blinker unit. Still happening.
