I absolutely loved my eighty-eight. Only problem I ever had with it was the water pump breaking and the belt breaking (only one-time fixes for me). I drove 12 hour round trips at least once a month and drove it every single day around town, to and from work, and across state for over 2 years and it always got me where I needed to go, no problems. Very reliable and dependable. I miss my Rico. I'd definitely buy another one if I got the chance.
Awesome Car

For my first car its a good one. My grandparents had it before me and had no problems what so ever. It's fun to drive and handles well. It gets me through any kind of weather well. The only thing I've had to replace on it was the battery. I also changed out the tape player/radio with a CD player/radio. Over all its an awesome car. I would recommend it to anyone.

I bought a 1999 Oldsmobile Eighty Eight 50th Anniversary Edition with 116,000 miles. This is a really a car that has grown on me throughout my ownership experience. The seemingly power everything Anniversary Edition has super comfortable leather-trimmed seating with multiple seat memory settings, power pneumatic lumbar adjustment, intuitive steering wheel controls for the HVAC and stereo. Interior fit and finish is very nice but things like panel fitment, fine details can leave a bit to be desired. Really spacious interior, so much headroom, side room, leg room tons of space. Unlike more taut and stiff sport sedans that can deceivingly seem smaller than they are this car feels every bit as big as it is which is very big. The car can feel cumbersome and boat-like at times in city traffic. The automatic/DRL headlights provide extra visibility in the day time and worry-free operation into the twilight hours. The engine is very smooth and surprisingly spirited on the open highway where this car really shines the most. Rearview mirror and driver-side mirror are auto-dimming with the latter also being heated. The rear auto-leveling air struts provide a wonderfully soft and contained ride style over the harshest of road surfaces and heaviest cargo loads.

Good car while I had it. Drove it a lot for about 3 years with one major issue after 1.5 years. Head gasket blew and engine water locked. $1100 repair and drove for another 1.5 yr without issue. Sold to my buddy for cheap and he drove it for about 1.5 years and only issue was radiator leak after he crashed it multiple times. Still running strong when he got rid of it

I bought this car back in February and the thing has since blown up, only had 120,000 miles on when died, things that went wrong were the intake manifold, head gasket, fuel pump, transmission started to slip, and many many small problems.
