1985 Oldsmobile 98 Regency review from North America

The passenger side window doesn't go down (it fell into the door & had to be "demobilized").

The air conditioning doesn't work.

Nobody can ride in the back of the car, because it bottoms out if people are back there. Its the struts or shocks that are bad.

The door to the gas cap has rusted so much that it is permanently open. In fact, most of the car is rusted (I'm glad it was a brown car to begin with).

The car sometimes shuts off right before I back it out of a parking spot, but then I turn it over again and it is fine.

The radio stations deprogram themselves every time I shut the car off. I've tried to fix that by changing the fuses, but that hasn't worked.

Very rarely the car's engine alarm dings and the oil gage goes from over-full to empty within a second or two, and then back again. Then I know I need to put more oil in as soon as possible, or else the car will break down.

The tailpipe and muffler rusted so badly that they fell off of the bottom of the car (that was a fairly cheap fix, though).

This car will never stop running! The engine is a fantastic piece of machinery that has reliably gotten me from point A to point B for 15 years. I cannot say enough good things about how reliable this car has been for me!

This car rides like a dream! The ride is smooth, and the car has great get-up-and-go! Friends always prefer to ride in the Oldsmobile because there is a lot of room, and it is very comfortable.
