1986 Oldsmobile 98 Regency Brougham review from North America
"A car worth owning"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have just purchased this vehicle and have had to repair a few things due to neglect. The cost of repair has been about one-hundred dollars, the items repaired/replaced are as follows: Power window motor (left front), Idle Air Control valve, windshield wiper arm, battery terminals. The A/C functions well, as does most every electrical option on the car. I am so far very pleased with the condition of this car with consideration to its age and lack of certain necessary maintenance.
General comments?
A very luxurious vehicle, comparable to a Cadillac in amenities. I especially enjoy the body style.
