"I didn't know what a great car was until I bought my first delta 88"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

My transmission started slipping at 200000. I did a lot of mountain traveling which caused the transmission to shift more than normal usage.

I had to get a valve job at 177000 because I got lazy and didn't change the oil often enough. The valves and rings became gummy and sluggish.

Other than these, it was normal maintenance.

General comments?

I currently own 2 1981 delta 88 olds. They are the best cars I've owned. Roomy, comfortable, dependable and highly reliable.

Their performances has always been outstanding. I have taken them on many vacations and never had problems.

I like their style too. Like owning a Cadillac without the high cost of buying one.

Hey, you said it all! There is something to be said about big rear wheel drive cars. The only downfall is fuel economy. Something I am willing to trade for a safe, reliable car that rides great.
