1984 Oldsmobile Delta 88 Royale Brougham review from North America
"It is a very comfortable and reliable car"
General comments?
At 80,000 miles, I replaced the stock transmission with a more durable Turbo 350. The original TH200C was slipping.
The engine has never had any problems.
At 75,000 miles I replaced the radiator.
At 78,000 miles the starter failed.
The carburetor was rebuilt at 105,000 miles.
I have done no other work to this car except for regular maintenance per the owners manual.
This is by far the most comfortable vehicle I have ever owned, my only complaint is that I wish it had more power. I have taken several long trips with no problems at all.
