1988 Oldsmobile Delta 88 royale review from North America
"I love driving this car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Transmission was started slipping at 193000 miles cost $1000 to replace.
Engine was knocking at 202000 replaced with wrecking yard engine $200.
Front brakes replaced.
Rear struts replaced.
General comments?
I think that the former owner treated the car poorly. I have seen other 3.8L engines go many more miles.
This is by far the most comfortable car I've ever owned.
It has all the options including a sunroof.
I love cruising the highway with the car, but it lacks passing power over 60 mph.
