Cloth & Stick: 2004 Oldsmobile Alero

Oldsmobile was basically a dead brand standing when it launched the Alero just before everyone started hoarding water for Y2K.  I can't understand the mind of the person who went into an Oldsmoboat dealer in 2004 and ordered a new car...but I certainly appreciate that somebody went in and asked for the cheapest Olds he/she could buy and left with two of my favorite "almost extinct" car features...cloth interior and stick shift.  Find this 2004 Oldsmobile Alero offered for $2650 in Phoenix, AZ.

Unlikely Stick: 2003 Oldsmobile Alero

Remember when Oldsmobile sold the Alero in the 2000s in a sporty coupe version with a 5-speed manual gearbox?  Yeah.  Me neither...but apparently it was a thing.  Find this 2003 Oldsmobile Alero offered for $1,600 in Anchorage, AK.  Tip from Zach Z.
