1986 Oldsmobile Delta 88 Royale review from North America
"Definitely worth a look"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The only thing I found that has gone wrong with the car is that the exhaust had a major leak when I first bought it, the muffler needed to be replaced, and the brakes were starting to go. The exhaust and the muffler problems were a result of sitting outside all season during a particularly wet Michigan winter. The right rear door doesn't open and the right front passenger window doesn't roll down.
General comments?
This car has to be one of the most reliable vehicles I've ever driven.
I absolutely love it.
On rainy nights when I was camping with my friends, I often slept in the backseat of my car because its SO comfortable.
