1984 Oldsmobile Delta 88 Royal Brougham review from North America
"I love it"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Just normal stuff: new battery, new brakes, oil changes every 3,000 miles, new hoses, new belts, and transmission fluid changed at 58,000. Other than that, no problems at all.
General comments?
I got my baby from my grandparents who kept the thing garaged for the last six years. The car is mint with a shiny paint job and authentic vinyl top. She starts right up and purrs like a kitten. I was offered $3,000 for her once. It's really comfortable and glides like an airplane.
One problem is that it's long and hard to park, but it has a tight turning radius. And the only other problem is gas mileage: 12-17 per gallon.
I am expecting at least 150,000 miles out of this old boat.
