1978 Oldsmobile Delta 88 Royale review from North America
"Great car with excellent gas mileage"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
You might call me crazy, but I just bought an Olds Delta 88 Diesel of 1978 with the engine that has the worst review of automotive history. In the 2000 miles I drove it there was only the starter that failed. But I think most of the problems occure if you treat the the car like its got a gasoline engine. If you look at the potential to have a gas mileage up to 27 its really worth trying especially if you live in Europe like me where the gas is up at $6 a gallon.
