Used 1991 Oldsmobile Eighty-Eight Royale Consumer Reviews

decent (boring) car

I received this car as a gift from my grandparents when i was in college. It has been generally reliable so far (I have about 140,000 miles on mine). I have driven it many times in snow, and it has performed admirably, due to its front-end weight. I have averaged 23mpg, which isn't so bad for such a large car. Maintenance-wise, i am on my THIRD alternator. I also had to replace the ignition module, the exhaust, and the rear suspension pieces. The transmission has developed a problem where it doesn't like to downshift, and my power windows and keyless entry system no longer work (annoying). The white paint is chipping, too.

1990 Oldmobile Eighty-Eight Brom 4DR

I have over 222K miles on this vehicle and only had to replace a few routine items, alternator, water pump, brakes, etc. I live in a rural area where paved roads are a luxury. It has been rear-ended twice and still drives great! This car costs very little to drive and I would buy another one without hesitation.

Great Car, Great Value

Just got this little creature

I just bought this car for $850.00. KELLEY suggested that price, EDMUNDS suggested less. I gave that price because the owner had put in a new gas tank, cd system, new fuel and brake lines and the car ran very nicely. It has quite a bit of rust around the tire wells and door handles and antenna mount. The underside of the car (being driven in upstate New York),is pretty rusty, some of it superficial.I have a friend who will do body work. The car is quite comfortable with plenty of back seat room and the material covering the seats is still is excellent and the interior vinyl work is excellent with no rips or discoloration.

great car

12 years and running fairly strong, only a tiny bit of rust (those tough new england winters), it's was handed down from my parents when i decided to commute to college, it's gotten me almost all the way through
