1983 Oldsmobile 98 Regency Brougham review from North America
"Wish I had owned it right from the time it rolled off the assembly line!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Power steering pump started leaking.
Replaced the front coil springs.
Replaced the front shocks.
Replaced the exhaust system.
Power antenna stopped working.
Cassette player stopped working.
Radiator started leaking.
Front flex hoses were cracked.
General comments?
Although I had to replace and repair a few components, which happens to newer vehicles just the same, this car has been very reliable for me.
It's an older car, but it will still out last a lot of these brand new disposable cars.
