1988 Oldsmobile Delta 88 Royale review from North America
"An extremely comfortable, but powerful vehicle"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The front end was replaced at about 300,000 KM.
Seats have lost a bit of their cushion.
Body started to show rust two years ago, but in past two years, has deteriorated fast.
The original exhaust pipe was welded back together - still has original exhaust system.
General comments?
This has been a fantastic car. Other than the problem mentioned above, and minor things such as brakes and a PVC valve, nothing has gone wrong.
I've driven this car hard and long. Even at 130Km/Hour, I've managed over 700KM out of every tank of gas. I haven't bothered to change the oil on it in over a year, either.
A very comfortable car! A great deal when I bought it for $2,000.00. It's more than paid me back.
