"It's definitely not my father's Oldsmobile"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Rear brake callipers (2x).

Ignition.

Door handles (2x).

Paint recall.

General comments?

This car looks, feels, and drives like a new car after 12 years. Almost everything is still original. It still looks stylish. Engine is very reliable.

I own a 1988 cutlass supreme and have had all the problems you marked on. I've owned it since 1997 when it only had 135,000 miles. As of yesterday it has 217,000 miles. It wasn't until two months ago when I finally had the transmission go out. I also recently put a new engine in it. It was beginning to struggle getting up hills and really slow taking off from stop lights. That was the factory engine which had 206,000 miles. Pretty incredible I thought.

I also noticed that on some of the comments, people said they'd definitely buy another car made by Oldsmobile, and I say why not keep the old one they'll go forever.

You are right about the comments I will definitely keep my 1988 Cutlass Supreme. But why just have 1 Oldsmobile when you can have 2.

I too have an 1988 Cutlass Oldsmobile and my last car was also a Ford Granada (1977)...what are the chances of that?

I am a new driver, just turned 18. I was in the market for Camaro's, but upon first glance of a Silver 88 Cutlass Supreme I quickly changed my mind, and proceeded to purchase it 2 days later. I've been driving it for 2 solid months, and am up to 141K miles, it runs great and looks stylish. I raised the car, added a sound system, and put 14in rims onto my 54 magnum tires. This car will seem to last.

I have a 1988 cutlass supreme, and she is a trip. Mine has a lot of problems leaking oil. It also isn't as fast taking off from a stop sign. The transmission is about to go I think. It has abvout 203,000 miles on it right now. But still in good condition.
