1987 Oldsmobile 98 Regency review from North America
"A great performance car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Alternator, spark plugs/wires, PVC valve, the serpentine belt, brake pad and passenger-side brake line, exhaust oxygen sensor, mass air flow sensor has been changed in chronological order.
The cassette player does not work. The power passenger seat does not work on one out of 3 axes of movement. There is an oil leak that I have to add a pint every 3-4 weeks.
The gas mileage in city is about 20 mpg.
General comments?
It is a very reliable car and the engine still runs extremely smooth.
