1985 Oldsmobile Delta 88 Royale Brougham review from North America
"A cheap beast on wheels!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
When I bought the vehicle, the only maintenance to be done was the new transmission fluid and subsequently set-up the bands. This was never done by the original owner I bought it from.
Presently, the only job I have undertaken is the ball joints, and alignment and front brake pads that I replaced.
General comments?
I bought this car for $900 certified and emission tested and other than the huge gas tank (94.5 litres) and four barrel carburetor sucking up the gas I have nothing but praise for this beast of a vehicle.
