All owners of this car lived down a dirt road (reason for under-body work.)
This car was given to me by my grandparents and was the best car I have ever drove, regardless of the "granny" appearance.
Maintenance was not a big problem, Autozone always gave me the best prices and I had my Uncle or Dad fix my car.
I parked this car only because the radiator was leaking and I thought I needed a new car. I am now thinking of selling my new car (1999 Malibu LS) and driving this car again.
This car has EVERY option possible and has so many luxury features. I would buy one brand new if they still made them. Very comfortable and handles very well.
I agree with everything you said. These cars are solid and reliable. They are actually quite hard to kill.
I have 1989 Oldsmobile Regency Brougham and I still drive it. I would not sell it. Transmission fluid is little leaking and will have it checked.
I am 66 yrs old and I am hearing impaired.
This car is best I ever drive, had it for 2 yrs. I bought it from my brother.
