1981 Oldsmobile 98 Regency review from North America
"Must have been a heck of a car in it's day"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Alternator.
A/C compressor.
P/W rear.
Door handle broke passenger side.
General comments?
Purchased for $300 as a third car for a spare. Now we drive it as #1 car.
Interior in excelent shape for the age.
Handles very well.
Gets excelent mileage for such a huge car, 24 m.p.g. Hi way.
Closest I'm ever going to get to a Cadillac.
We are planing on a new paint job, and keeping it as a classic!
