1982 Oldsmobile Delta 88 Royale review from North America
"The best 800 bucks I've ever spent"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Muffler was replaced in 2001 (before I purchased the vehicle)
It has a small leak in the soft top.
The cable for the hood latch broke.
General comments?
A very nice, luxirious car. It handles excellent, and rides like a caddy. One thing I don't like about it is its pick up. It starts out very slow, but when it gets past 45 it takes off. The car is in mint condition, and I bought it from a person who had it in a garage for years. On the highway it really moves, but when I put the pedal to the medal I can watch the gas gauge fall. A guy that I know had the same model and drove it for 250,000 miles. It takes absolutely no oil.
