1994 Oldsmobile 88 Royal LS review from North America
"Fantastic deal of a lifetime!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
There was a leak in the Power Steering that was easily fixed. The brakes were a little warprped.. again easily fixed. The windows don't go down somtimes, but that's a small connection glitch. Other than these very minor details, not much has gone wrong. I am impressed by its reliability.
General comments?
I am very very happy I bought this car. It cost me less than 3000$ and has been exceptionally reliable. I guess I just lucked out. I have always driven Japanese cars and decided to chance it with this. I would safely say it has been the one of the best cars I have owned. It is confortable, powerful and drives like silk. I would buy another in a heart beat. Too bad they are not made anymore. It would seem as soon as GM makes a car that lasts, they discontinue it. Oh well.. driving this one for as long as possible!!!
