"This car is as good as a Cadillac at half the cost!"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

I bought this car used a few days ago. It needs a new positive battery cable. I'm told by a mechanic that the Del-co battery will leak acid on the cable if anyone tightens the cable terminal too tight. Which is what happened.

General comments?

The car rides like a dream. It's a cream puff! At 166,000 miles, it is quiet, comfortable and not to expensive to drive.

I travel in my business, and the extra roomy trunk is ideal for carrying merchandise.

The Oldsmobile 98 Regency is the Cadillac of the Oldsmobile line. My car has every power accessory offered. I still can't get over the little air pump in the engine compartment that pumps up the rear shocks whenever I load something heavy in the trunk, even when the engine isn't running.

That air pump is for self-leveling suspension, a pretty common luxury car feature, not just on Olds.

I used to have a Buick Park Ave with that suspension and the air pump would just come on by itself when the car was sitting in the driveway with no one in it. Must have had a leak in it somewheres.
