Used 1995 Oldsmobile Eighty-Eight Royale Sedan Consumer Reviews
great used buy!
Bought car for $6K and love it. Changed ignition module and horn stopped working. Had to install universal dash- board horn to pass inspection. Cost $65. Module cost $250. It just runs like a charm.Has security chip and security theft protect radio. Had local co.repair drivers seat to firm it up. Seat makes popping noise. Plastic near windshield vibrated, so put cardboard there and noise stopped. Engine is GM3500 and runs flawlessly. That's why I bought car. I expect 10 more years on it. Electric windows,seats, antenna work flawlessly. Don't let gas get to empty. This car is indestructible. Love it!
88 keeps on rollin'
I bought my 88 with 110,000 miles and it now has 155,000 miles. I have replaced the front struts and water pump. Just recently, the anti-lock brakes light came on, but brakes work ok. The car runs good and averages about 21-24 mpg.

Comfortable, Fun Ride for the Road
Owning this car has been a dream come true for the driving experience and all the creature comforts. Unfortunately the repair costs are outlandish. But this car is worth every penny I put in to it. Its sound system is excellent, it has been reliable, and fun to drive. If only there were more experienced mechanics who knew more about the repairs and complex mechanical and electrical problems that can and do go awry.
My 8T8
I have had an excellent experience. It has been fun and I have enjoyed the high performance of the Supercharged 3.8L V6. Besides some typical maintenance since it has over 104,000 miles on it. My Olds has been a great vehicle and I plan on keeping this for my kids.
