1984 Oldsmobile 98 Regency Brougham review from North America
"Better than a Cadillac"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Very little actually.
Water pump (new one $29.99 installed myself)
Brake shoes and pads (cheap)
That's about it, besides things that need replacing like tuneup parts belts and tires.
General comments?
This is a very comfortable car to drive down the highway. It may not handle or accelerate like a sports car, but for reliability, safety and comfort I would not trade this beauty for any thing. I wish they were still making these, I would consider buying one brand new.
