  Buyer beware - 1998 Oldsmobile Eighty Eight
  By macinman - November 28 - 4:06 pm

  I bought this car back in February and the thing has since blown up, only had 120,000 miles on when died, things that went wrong were the intake manifold, head gasket, fuel pump, transmission started to slip, and many many small problems.

  Very Nice - 1998 Oldsmobile Eighty Eight
  By acnoogs - September 9 - 10:00 am

  Simply, it runs like a dream. For a car not built for performance, it performs. And what a comfort it is to drive in this one. A little boxy, but otherwise a stylish car.

  Love My `98 `88LS - 1998 Oldsmobile Eighty Eight
  By Jobuck1 - July 18 - 3:56 pm

  I bought this car used last year from a dealership and they put me in touch with the previous owner. Luckily he was an older fellow who had bought the car new and had taken excellent care of it. All the servicing done on time, and logged in the owners manual. I was able to pick right up where he left off. About once a month I make a trip up through the Ozark mountains on a twisting, up and down highway and I love the way the car handles and performs. I think that 3.8L is one of the better motors ever manufactured. Plenty of power and and decent gas mileage. I get around 19mpg in town and 26mpg on the highway. All in all Ive been very satisfied with this car.

  A Good Solid Lux Automobile - 1998 Oldsmobile Eighty Eight
  By Robbed718 - June 12 - 3:23 pm

  I bought this car about a week ago now with 54,000 miles on it. It was from a little old lady who lost her vision and the car was rarely used. I bought it and brought it to the mechanic. Apparently the V5 A/C Compressors on this car are horrible. It is making a sound when the belt turns but I ordered one online for only 200 bucks (Mechanics shop wants $450 just for the compressor) I heard these are great cars esp with the 3800 thats why I bought it. I plan on keeping it a while, it drives beautifully. Very Comfortable, decent gas mileage and fun to drive. Its basically like driving a big leather couch with lots of power. Overall I am very happy so far and it is worth the money

  1998 Olds LS - 1998 Oldsmobile Eighty Eight
  By Stephen D. Bright Sr - November 24 - 10:00 am

  This vehicle is fun to drive handles well and is very dependable. It has a very responsive and powerful 205hp V/6 engine. Great fuel economy as much as 30 mpg on the highway and approximately 25 mpg aroung town. Negatives include excessive wind noise at high speed 70 mph or greater from both front doors. There are also several squeaks in the interior trim especially around the dash.

  Update on Eighty Eigh LS - 1998 Oldsmobile Eighty Eight
  By robbed718 - June 26 - 4:49 am

  Robbed718 back. Update on the Oldsmobile Eighty Eight I bought with 53,000 miles in March of 2010 from the old lady whom lost her vision. The car now has 77,000 miles on it. Ive had to replace a belt tensioner, tires and a sepentine belt since. Everything is still holding up good on the car, engine is still powerful and not bad on gas. (I get about 24mpg) . I think I could get 175-200K out of this baby. Im gonna plan on it!

  Awesome Car - 1998 Oldsmobile Eighty Eight
  By hayley - January 27 - 7:03 pm

  For my first car its a good one. My grandparents had it before me and had no problems what so ever. Its fun to drive and handles well. It gets me through any kind of weather well. The only thing Ive had to replace on it was the battery. I also changed out the tape player/radio with a CD player/radio. Over all its an awesome car. I would recommend it to anyone.

  Replace Plenum before it wrecks engine - 1998 Oldsmobile Eighty Eight
  By Steve - November 6 - 3:40 pm

  Intake manifold gasket was replaced before I bought it. However, the plenum went and water went into the engine. After 600 dollar plenum repair, a valve was bad. After a couple hundred miles it needed a 1200 dollar valve repair. After a couple hundred miles a piece of engine (probably connecting rod) went through the engine block. Replace the original plenum and manifold gasket to avoid costly repairs. This happend on a 94 Park Avenue of mine with 156000 miles, a 99 Park Avenue with 190,000 miles and now a 98 Olds 88 with 111,000 miles. Great engine except for the plenums and intake manifold gaskets.
