"Nearly 25 years of quality, durability, and reliability that Honda and Toyota will never match"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Rear Main Seal.

Alternator.

Water Pump.

Rear Brake Cylinders.

Had all four springs replaced.

U-joints.

A/C Compressor.

Heater Core.

General comments?

I can't believe the way this car has stood by me. Over 400,000 miles and barely a peep of trouble. This car has never left me stranded. It's built like an ox, but handles surprisingly well for its size. It still does not burn oil, which is amazing conssidering the age and mileage. I wouldn't part with this car for the world. If America was smart, they would still build cars this good.

Nice review. I hope Detroit wakes up and smells the coffee someday.

I wanted to buy a Delta 88 for some years. Now I found wone with only 19k mls. Marvellous, comfortable, silent - compare it to a 12-cylinder S-class of Mercedes - I drove it - and you know that the best car of the world has been built 24 years ago in the U.S.

Over 400k?-Now that's pure Olds quality!! The brand will truly be missed. GM should've gotten rid of Buick instead Nobody would miss that brand!
