1991 Oldsmobile 98 Regency Elite 3.8 V6 from North America
Summary:
Good car for the money
Faults:
Air conditioning does not work. I took it to a mechanic and he said that I would have to replace the whole system. It would have cost at least $1000 and I only paid $900 for the car. I figured I could do without it.
Various trim pieces are starting to fall off, such as weatherstripping on driver's door.
General Comments:
Has a very nice ride, decent acceleration, and the gas mileage (17 average) is affordable.
Shocks will need to be replaced soon.
Very reliable car, holds 5 or 6 people comfortably.
Only work I have had to do is two oil changes and a transmission fluid change.
Rear brakes are beginning to make some noise.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

That 3800 is a great engine- they still use it to this day (it's a little different now, but basically the same engine). Expect to get at least 250,000 out of that car with proper maintenance. Mine had 245k on it before it got impounded : (
