New to all this, so bear with me. I just bought my first Olds. I found a '98 Olds 88 with 24k original miles, everything is like new! Really happy with it so far. Any feedback on the '98 Olds 88? The registration says 88 Royale, but Royale isn't mentioned anywhere in the manual. Was there an 88 Royale in 1998?, or is this a Registry of Motor Vehicles error? Would appreciate any comments on the 1998 88. Seems like a really nice car!

I believe they stopped calling them Royale in 1995, so I think it is just 1998 Oldsmobile Delta 88, but I could be wrong. Check out this link HERE. Definately sounds like a nice car, especially the 24k mile part! :shock:
How much did ya pay for it?

| Welcome, nighthawk..ya bought yourself a nice ride there...good power, reliable engine..no major drivetrain issues or concerns to be had......overall a very reliable car, which should go well over 200,000 miles, with only regular maintenance |

Found it at a small dealership. THe salesman almost didn't want to show it to me as it was a "big car". Paid 8k for it, which seems to be the going rate for this model and year in my area...but with much higher mileage! Looks to have a "flip flop" type of paint, sometimes looks navy blue, sometimes looks dark green. Thanks for the feedback. Want to learn all I can about this car.

| WOW, that's a great find, around here you dont see many newer then 1995, and the ones that are around here have a lot of miles and go for about the same price that you paid! good work!! |
