1984 Oldsmobile 98 Regency 307 from North America
Summary:
Quality and durable performance
Faults:
I have only had to replace the fuel pump and the master cylinder, pretty much a few months after I bought it. Mostly because the previous owner said it had been sitting for a long time.
Other than that and routine maintenance, that's been all I have had to do.
General Comments:
This car is a work horse.
After all the miles and driving it just keeps going.
A lot of people want a new car every year or every five, but I don't understand how people want a new plastic fiber glass valued car versus a real metal quality engine and body that can withstand enormous abuse if it need be.
This has been the best vehicle I have ever owned. When I am driving in it, I feel like nothing can even touch me, like it's a tank on wheels.
And restoring it is gonna be a blast.
They say technically it's an antique because it's over 25 years old, so I'm gonna get it back to mint right off the assembly line perfection and park it. It is my pride and joy.
I would much rather have an 84 Oldsmobile versus an 09 Camaro. Because mine is quality metal and durable parts that I know will never fail me. This car will last forever.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

Sounds like you'll be throwing good money after bad.
With a vehicle this old, it seems everytime you fix something, something else goes bad.
Take my advice, don't throw your money away - you'll never come out ahead with an old clunker.
