1986 Oldsmobile Delta 88 Royale Brougham review from North America
"There's nothing like Royale Brougham style and comfort!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I had a timing chain problem shortly after buying the car, which is typical for a 3.8.
I had to replace the alternator.
My power steering pump decided to stop working recently.
The performance is, but sufficient by my standards, but the sad part is, it's better than most things on the road today.
General comments?
This car has had few problems, and I have fixed all of them myself to date.
This was my first car, and I love it to death.
She'll fire up and run like a dream every time. Washes up real nice for a car bought from some strange abandoned field owner (really long story).
It features power steering, power brakes, power windows, power locks, power seats, CD player, and as much leg room as you could ask for from a two door coupe.
