1990 Oldsmobile 88 royale review from North America
"Great"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The heater doesn't work very well in the winter, it takes time for it to warm up, but other than that it has been a very dependable car. I bought this car from a friend of the family, he owns his own garage, and he acquired it from this gal who hit a deer with it. I am very surprised to see a car go this long with out any major problems and we haven't had any other than the usual maintenance such as the brakes etc. The seats are normal wear and tear, the cassette deck still works, and the transmission is slowly starting to die, but it's still holding.
General comments?
I really do love this car for it's dependability. I do own other oldsmobile's and by far this one really outshines them all.
