1982 Oldsmobile 98 Regency review from North America
"The last of the"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
4-speed overdrive transmission replaced with a re-built TH 400 out of a 1977 Cadillac Seville in 1990.
Replaced two radiators so far. I put the first replacement in myself.
Replaced two water pumps.
Rebuilt carburator in 1987.
Replaced carburator with new one in 2003.
General comments?
This is the best car I have ever owned.
Nothing passes me on the freeways except BMW's.
Everyone loves the legroom, comfort, and lighter in each ashtray in back seat.
This car is easy to maintain.
