1978 Oldsmobile 88 Royale 350cid from North America

Summary:

Extremely durable car; simple to repair

Faults:

1. Transmission.

2. Cruise control transducer.

3. One air conditioner compressor.

General Comments:

This is the best car that I've ever owned. Aside from base maintenance, I never had any real problems with the car.

The original transmission went at over two hundred thousand miles. The car has over three hundred thousand miles on it. And has never been on a tow truck. It it always starts up. Gets you where you want to go and never leaves you stranded.

The performance is very respectable, and so is the fuel economy. After all these years and miles, there is still not a creak or rattle in the car.

I would highly recommend this car. It was overbuilt very durable.

Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes
