Faults:

Replaced wiper blades.

General Comments:

This car is very nice; it rides like a dream. It is so smooth; don't feel any road bumps. I could ride all day in this and be well relaxed. It rides better than my 1985 Cadillac Eldorado. I would have to say that the Delta 88 Brougham is a very nice car to own and drive.

Faults:

First bought it:

- Headliner got ripped out (got a foam bath on the drive home).

- Busted brake line (drive home).

- Busted signal lens (I blew the brake line) :)

After owning for a few months:

- Original radio shorted out (replaced with cassette type).

- A/C never worked.

- Starter fried at 100K mark.

- Leaks oil (1 qt/500 miles).

- Carb got tuned wrong (runs 20 mph/flat ground @ idle).

Recently:

- Developed a horrible vacuum leak behind the glove box.

- A lot of shudder & play in the steering wheel (typical??).

- I need to do a brake job on her.

General Comments:

I use this as a truck.

It's tow-dollied...

- Three '99-series LeSabres.

- Two-three Rangers.

- An '89 Mustang.

- A '77 LeSabre (that was a nightmare...).

- Two Pintos.

- One Cavalier.

It's hauled... (ha ha)

- My tool box on a daily basis (outward dented trunk space).

- SEVERAL bicycles (in the trunk/in the back seat).

- Fire wood.

- An ATV sticking out of the trunk.

- Around ten engines (Ford 2.3s... a Chevy 350 or two).

Long story short, there's an awful good reason that I had the hitch welded to the bumper. It takes a lickin'... and just keeps tickin' man! MPG is/was (vacuum leak) around 18-20 not hauling (totally stock) anything. With a Pinto, Ranger-ish sized car, around 10. I have under 1000.00 in it... and I love it. With the exception of the dead starter, ain't ever left me walking. And it runs rich enough that I don't have to worry about it in cold weather!

Bought the car fall of 2012 (I think) and drove it 'til spring of '13. Sold it to a guy 2 hours away, cussed myself like a big dog. My girlfriend & best friend MADE me go get it back. "Stop B****n' about that Oldsmobile - and go get it!"

Man I'm glad I listened to them.

Faults:

Radiator was leaking.

Power seat won't move.

Driver's window stripped.

General Comments:

I purchased the car from its original owner. The car had sat up for the last few years.

The car has a ride out of this world.

After fixing bugs from the car sitting, the more I drive it, the better it runs.
