1986 Oldsmobile Delta 88 Royal Brougham review from North America
"My big red beast"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Water pump went at 145,000 miles.
Starter went at 148,000 miles.
Fouled up spark plugs caused poor running at 149,000 miles.
Replaced driver's side power window motor in 2001.
New windshield washer pump in 2001 also.
General comments?
My car handles corners very well.
Upon purchasing, I installed a CD player with a 1000 watt amp and two 10 inch sub-woofers.
The car originally came from Maryland and has no rust.
I recently took off the standard muffler and replaced it with a cherry bomb exhaust instead.
I tinted all side windows, rear window, and darkened the original tint on the windshield.
I have been adding an octane booster to my fuel tank every time I fill my tank since October 2001.
