1989 Oldsmobile 88 Royale Brougham review from North America
"The single greatest car ever!!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Brake lines went about 1 year ago.
Common problem transmission o.d. gear going bad past 100000 miles.
Alternator went 3 years ago current rebuilt.
Headliner sags.
Paint is bad.
Stabilizer links went bad about 1 year ago.
Pin on con rod went about 6 months ago.
General comments?
It has great performance all around.
The interior is ultra comfortable.
Also it is a tank without the wallet thumping.
No one could ever ask for a better car.
However I get bad reviews from the ricer crowd.:)
Very good value, I cried when I blew the engine.
Its getting fixed because it's just worth it
