1988 Oldsmobile 98 Touring Sedan review from North America
"Reliable performance and dependability"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Radiator hose went out at 140,000.
Leather is worn on driver side and good on all the rest of the seats.
Fuel lines and filters at 141,000 miles.
General comments?
This car is awesome! I have never seen something that can take such a bad beating in my life. This 3.8 can take it all. It is more reliable than my parents 95 Suburban. The cabin is very roomy and the carpet is still in great condition. I have some rust on the drivers side, but I live in Illinois I guess you get that. This car has way more than normal acceleration than you would expect from a family sedan.
