What a Great, Cheap Car
Brian B., 12/19/2006
1992 Oldsmobile Eighty-Eight Royale 4dr Sedan
I have owned my car for two years now and It has always been dependable. There were a few things that wore out over time, but instead of buying another old car I fixed a lot. I put all new brakes, suspension, stabilizer links, stereo, oil and trans gasket, fuel and trans filter, fuel system flush, and a belt. Not all of this was entirely necessary but I wanted it to be really nice. I … spent what I would have on another car and I couldn't be happier. The car has 92,000 miles and is great. It rides out like a dream and no longer leans into turns. If someone else is wondering what to do with their Olds like mine, it's worth the money. This is coming from a car salesman.

1992 Oldsmobile Eighty-Eight Royale LS 4dr Sedan
I had my Oldsmobile 8 months, it was a pizza delivery car for me. The only problem I EVER had with it was blowing my alternator up. When i got rid of it, the car had 207,000 miles and was still running. The only reason i got rid of it was because of the mileage and the computer died. Great job Oldsmobile.

One of the best cars I've owned

1992 Oldsmobile Eighty-Eight Royale 4dr Sedan
This car will not stop. I can drive it like a
madman and it will still start the next day all
while giving me 25-30 mpg. I can not belive
GM is killing Olds. They should have pulled
the plug on Saturn instead. With regular care
I'm sure this car would safely and comfortably
get me to every destination.
