I have my uncles car for a few days (our auto shop class is putting a whole new exhaust on it) its amazing everytime I look down at the odometer on the dark blue 1988 Delta 88 Royale. When I moved it back into the driveway a few moments ago I checked the odometer.....

324,956 miles! "Oldsmobile quality, feel it"

wow... thats over 1/2 million KM's! nice...

good to hear another satisfied customer...

also i heard that our engines can see over 500.000 miles if they well maintanied... is it really true? i know they got capability to see such miles but i want to learn if anybody runs on an engine with high miles...

I've got 195,000 km's on my '88 delta. Thats roughly 117,000 miles. This car will go forever & 1 day, if thats true, oldsman83. I hope it is!

Didn't know yours had more then mine...werd...


Well mine has 113K and I have a feeling it will not make it to 125K. Shes soundin bad.

This car has been very good. The original tranny went at 160,000 miles and then just normal stuff like the starter etc. It runs so smooth, too bad the paint peeled (as did many blue GM cars of the period. There is just a little rust on the bottom of the driverside door (for a car thats been in New England its whole life thats rare) and there is 1 dent in the rear where someone backed into it last year.
Best part is it starts right up and shifts smooth as it did 15 years ago. My uncle currently puts 1200 miles a month on the car which is low for him as he divides the miles between the Olds and his other car.
324,000 miles, or as we call it in West Haven High School
"The Million Miler"

87delta, I've put many miles on her since I got it. I bought it in 2002 with 98,000 KM's on it. Thats just under 60,000 miles. I almost drove 100,000km in 3 years.

Jeebus. Well, I'll do the same thing, drive it alot. If the engine goes here soon I'll just put in a new one and run it till it dies.

Update
as of yesterday the odometer read:

327,105 miles

dam, thats awsome shit.... i have 147,178 on mine, and still runs smooth... altho i have like 3 grand into it, tranny, heater core, water pump, thermostat, O2 censor.. and a few other things... im sure ill get over 250k on the engine..

Mine is now at 221,500 miles.

113,8**

Tis still young

my cutlass supreme (82 or 81? ) says 224711 on it, but the tranny is messed up so it's probably nearly 300000, only problem i have is hard shifting which i think is due to a missing vaccuum hose

Wow, thats about 13 times around the planet! Mine's at 117,??? and going strong. The will be mourning on the day that Olds kicks the bucket.

And to think my uncle never planned to keep it this long.
