1990 Oldsmobile 88 review from North America
"A high performance sedan"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
CV Joints don't last very long.
Rotors always find a way to get warped.
Overall, not much has gone wrong, other than the stuff you need to regularly change/replace.
General comments?
6 months after I bought the car, a buddy of mine was scrapping his 1990 Bonneville and was selling it for parts, so I got the supercharger from it and fitted it to my Delta 88, also took the wheels and seats, although the seets did not fit, now I pull up to a stop light and can smoke T-birds and Stangs. Once raced a Corvette, didn't beat him but managed to some what keep up.
Overall this car was a nice investment.
