Muffler replaced in 2004.
Transmission rebuilt at 93,000 miles.
Rear seal on transmission developed leak in 2004.
This is a great car. It has been in my family for 17 years and now I am the owner of this fine automobile.
This car handles like a dream on even the bumpiest of roads. Compared to my previous Toyota 4Runner it feels as if I am driving on air.
Another thing that suprised me was the remarkable gas mileage that a car of its size would usually get. The Olds gets about 19 in the city and 22 on the highway. It still isn't great compared to todays standards, but for a older vehicle it could be worse.
I really like the plushness of the interior. No matter where you sit it feels like your sitting on a fluffy pillow. The back seat is huge and could accommodate someone lying down easily.
Under the hood and trunks are pluses too. The trunk is spacious enough for all my needs and there is plenty room under the hood to work on the car easily.
Also the car is built like a tank. Case in point,I T-boned a 2003 GMC pickup on accident and had very minor damage to the front end of my vehicle. Although I cannot say the same for the pickup.
All in all very satisfied with my old Oldsmobile Delta 88 Brougham.
I have a 1981 oldsmobile delta 88 royale broughm, It has 44,000km on it or about 27,000 miles. It has never seen winter and is perfect in every way. I drove by a local olds delership in my area and took a 2004 olds alero for a test drive, when I came back the salesman asked well what did you think of the alero??? I told him point blank that alero is not even half the car that my delta is!!! He smiled and said you are right about that!!! I will never sell my 88!
Olds guy...
