1984 Oldsmobile Delta 88 Royale Brougham review from North America
"A reliable bargain - comfortable sofa-car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Rear shocks broke (started leaking) after driving 2,000 km on gravel roads - these were the original ones. No trouble changing those, got new ones for 50 bucks Canadian.
Rear muffler - that's normal wear right, lost it on the Alaska highway.
Sometimes the windshield wipers don't stop - kind of funny. No problem, at least they start ;)
General comments?
I love it. It's comfortable, handles well, reliable and not too bad on gas.
I would drive it to the moon and back without a problem (check the oil on the moon, just in case).
It is also quite good on gas, I get around 21 MPG out of it in general use. This is a good number for a car this size.
