1978 Oldsmobile Delta 88 Royale review from North America
"A speedy, comfortable, reliable car for a great price!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The dimmer switch went out, and it was only $30.00 to replace it, plus labor.
Other than that, just general stuff, such as oil changes, etc.
General comments?
I love everything about this car except the gas mileage. V-8's and four-barrels are gas hogs.
The engine still runs like the day it was built. I can smoke many other V-8's that I have run against. This baby will lay a patch. I have not had to to anything to it besides put new spark plugs and wires in. You will have that though.
The exterior and interior is great looking with only minor rust on the bumper. Barely enough to even notice it.
