1988 Oldsmobile 98 Regency review from North America
"Great car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Alternator and water pump wheel cylinders began to leak at about 125,000.
General comments?
The 3.8L has some serious balls... I smoked a young guy in a hot rodded Honda. He seemed imtimidated that an old lady car beat his rice rocket.
