1984 Oldsmobile Delta 88 Royale review from North America
"Floating den that can relocate you with style, speed and grace"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
When I purchased this car I paid 1450.00 for it. It was at night time and I inspected it with a small flashlight. It had no body damage, but an original paint job which of course could use a new lick. Leather top was spotless as car was garaged most of it's life. When I saw old people coming out of the house I knew it was mine. The woman presented me with every document or proof of work/repair including routine oil changes which never passed 3000 miles. To make my drooling experience shorter I will tell you this. The car has original 1984 floor mats. These people got rid of this car because of gas mileage alone. Their sacrifice, my steal. As far as Repairs and upgrades I know it will be cheaper than my nissan altima 1996.This car needs a shock this part costs 19.99.Need I say more. It is everything my nissan is not.Bigger, faster, stronger, more comfortable and more storage. Not to mention when you get on the open highways it floats unlike these little 4 cylinders that just about blow their engines when trying to accelerate. Did I mention it's almost 20 years old.20's here we come.
