1984 Oldsmobile Delta 88 Royal Brougham review from North America
"Perfect combination of power and comfort"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Driver seat is starting to tear.
Water pump has gone out at 178000.
Driver window motor has stopped working.
Arm rest on driver side has detached from door panel.
General comments?
I bought the car from the original owner who did not take very good care of it.
I bought it for $500, and have put about $400 into it.
One very good point about the car is it is easy to find parts for.
Other than a few negative points, I love the styling, comfort and reliability.
