1994 Oldsmobile 88 Royale LS review from North America
"If you find one, BUY IT!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Alternator at about 30,000 miles.
Brakes - regular wear and tear.
Rotors and calipers at 188,000 miles.
Water pump at about 70,000.
"Computer" for sensors at 189,000.
General comments?
The best car I've ever owned. I plan to keep it as long as I can. This car has almost 200,000 miles on it and I have had no major repairs (thank God).
It is very comfortable, roomy, extremely reliable and responds very well to the gas pedal.
I don't drive it as much any more because my primary mode of transportation is a motorcycle. The car sits untouched for weeks at a time, but it starts up right away, as if I had driven it 30 minutes earlier.
I can't say enough good things about this car.
