1979 Oldsmobile Delta 88 LX i think review from North America
"A cheap, comfortable ride"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I had to replace the carburetor at 150000.
The speedometer light does not work. I cannot see how fast I am going at night.
The passenger door behind the driver occasionally does not work.
The first owner had to replace the transmission.
General comments?
I am always on the freeway, and for the car's sheer size, it can handle exceptionally well at 80mph.
I can easily fit all 4 of my snow tires in the trunk of the car.
The seats are extremely comfortable and can comfortably fit 6 people within it.
