Faults:

It's hard to start cold. I have to continually pump the accelerator until the engine takes off, but I haven't investigated the problem yet either. Incidentally, the temperatures were sub-zero the first week I had it.

It also needs new rear springs.

The headliner is starting to sag.

General Comments:

What a comfortable car!

It has new shocks, and it rides nice and firm as the GM large cars do. It's a smooth ride, but you still feel attached to the road.

It's a North Dakota car, so it hasn't seen much salt, so there is very little rust. The under body and gas tank are superbly clean for a 21-year-old car.

Except for the headliner, the interior is in excellent condition.

It was a steal for $800.

Faults:

The headliner just dropped.

The car likes gas.

General Comments:

This car is great. Very powerful for such a heavy car.

I love the the car feel on the road. It just floats down the road.

The seats are comfortable, but it would be nice if they reclined.

Faults:

I replaced the water pump at about 110,000 miles, and the carb. at about 128,000.

General Comments:

What can I say? This is the best car I have ever owned. Other than the carb problems, it has never left me on the side of the road. With the new Edelbrock 600, she really moves after 60 mph, with a top speed of 130 so far. Of course this all comes at a price of about 13 miles per gallon, but it costs money to drive a decent car. My Olds even handles pretty good for a road boat, taking most sharp curves with no tire noise. But when the tires are making noise, one of the back wheels are usually off the ground. Its very comfortable, like riding on a big cloud. Also, these cars are very tough: I pulled out in front of a large 4 door Mercedes in February.. needless to say the mercedes was totalled and I fixed the Oldsmobile for under 300 dollars. So if you're tired of the trash built by auto makers today, try an Oldsmobile and you will not be disappointed. Mine has even earned her name "Eloise".

General Comments:

Great car. This is my second Oldsmobile Delta 88. The previous was set on fire by accident by the mechanic while the carburetor was off the car. I just had to get another one. They are very comfortable and reliable. It is fun to drive also, wouldn't trade it for the world.

Faults:

The passenger window handle was missing.

The radio does not work.

The lighter didn't work, blown fuse.

One missing headlight.

General Comments:

This car only cost me $200, with only minor body damage it was a steal.

The interior is almost perfect, the headliner is still as tight as it was the day it was born.

Faults:

The carberator needs rebuilt from setting so long, without being drivin.

Only thing I replaced so far was the accelerator cable. It broke from age.

General Comments:

I bought the car from an old lady. It was her husbands car. It has been sitting ever since he passed away in there garage. It never had a chance to get broken in.

Only thing is the headliner is starting to fall.

Lots of room inside the car and trunk.
