Used 1991 Oldsmobile Eighty-Eight Royale Consumer Reviews
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.
just purchased in July 2016
I found this car in a parking lot after playing golf. Its a Olds 1991 Delta Royal Broughm. Its in impeccable condition, no rust, 66,000 miles, trunk has never been used. It has a canvas burgundy top, white on main part of car, it has white walls with spoke wheels and trunk luggage rack. I love this car and its a show piece. It needed some TLC and they have all been corrected. Other than that It is totally restored. I believe the car went directly from Olds to a classic restorer. It is one of a kind. It has on the back of rear window with the Olds logo rocket above " Designer Series"

Fantastic Car
This is the best all-around car I have ever owned. I bought it new in 1991 and am still driving it. It has 227,000+ miles on it now, and I have never had any major problems with it. I replaced the air conditioning last year, after driving it for 15 years, and I am going to replace the struts next week. Other than regular maintenance, I have had no expenses. I had the oil [Quaker State 10W30] and air filter changed every 3,000 miles.
best car so far
Bought the car with 90K on it. Noe I have 210K. I have not done any maintenence on it except oil changes and breaks. It is by far the best riding and most comfortable car I've ever had. I get unbelievable milage on the highway. I am dissapointed, however, that it has only one cup holder; but a quick trip to Canadian Tire for a console fixed that. This car is reliable, gets great milage and has enough power to make you feel confident when passing on those busy 2- lane highways. This is a great used car!
Detroit Beast
The engine is still strong and powerful. The 88 handles very clumsily. I am getting 21 mpg not too bad considering its a 3800 V6 that is 16 years old!
