1994 Oldsmobile 88 LSS from North America - Comments

Just purchased a 94 oldsmobile 88 LSS, original owner with 97K, very clean with all paperwork.

Wondering what I need to be on the lookout for if I was going to go on a road trip?

Owner claimed 22 town and 24-26 highway mileage, is this legit?

Paid 3K for it, was this a decent deal?

Engine compartment super clean, entire car really is, seems to drive well and have lots of power.

Can you give me an idea on how the traction control works and when and how you use it? Is it just automatic or is there a button somewhere? Thanks.

Feel kind of strange as it was certainly wasn't purchased for sex appeal or wow factor, rather I just needed something dependable and didn't have a ton of money to spend, hope the choice will be a good one.

- The traction control cuts down on wheel spin when the car's computer senses that. It does this by reducing engine power & applying the brakes to the spinning wheel or wheels. It's automatic, but can be turned off by a switch either on the dashboard or the console.

For the 3800 engine 22mpg in mixed city/interstate driving could be expected on a good day its more like 20/21mpg. If you take a road trip expect 30/31mpg. If its pure city driving I would say you'll get anywhere from 17-19mpg. I got 15mpg one time, but I was hot roding my car. I'm only 20, what can I say. :)

One glitch in the car we purchased this past weekend; when you hit the switch to lock all doors the passenger side door sticks part way down and does not lock. Anyone have a suggestion on a fix? Thanks.
