My biggest complaint is the paint is peeling. It has white paint. Take a look if this is important. It runs great. I guess I'm a little bit tough on the car, but I think it has another 100,000 miles on it. I think the only work I have done on it was a fuel pump replaced. About 20 mpg

This car was left to us by my father in law. It has over 225 000 km on it and is still going strong. The car sat in the driveway for 2 1/2 years and fired right up with the purchase of a new battery. It has not needed any other repairs but a power window on driver side is dead. It has quite a bit of rust around wheel wells, but overall it is quite a reliable car. It gets approximately 19 km per mile.

Believe the hype when they call this a Bulletproof engine! I own a 1990 Oldsmobile Delta 88 Royale Brougham FE3 full luxury package. As long as you know your way around a wrench and a jack you can maintain this car for very little cost. There are lots of great videos on YouTube and these engines have lots of room for you to work in. I bought the car at 48k miles from a 93 year old lady for 1000$ in 2018, the original owner. I am currently at 70.8k miles and the car is running very strong with some maintenance done to keep it a good daily driver in todays standards. New alternator, battery, water pump, complete coil pack assembly, fuel pressure regulator, spark plugs and wires, crank position sensor, sway bar links and bushings, radiator hoses, brakes and rotors . All those parts were very affordable, most expensive was probably the coil pack assembly around like 200$. I get about 28mpg even coasting at 85mph. And 33mpg coasting around 70mph. But I get around 19-21 mpg in town driving.

I work as a Valet and I have driven everything from a Geo Prizm to a Bentley This Oldsmobile is one of the top 3 most comfortable cars I have ever driven. It seems to have a problem with alternators going out, but they are cheap and other than that, the car has been a very pleasant surprise. I would Definately buy another.
