  50th Anniversary Edition - 1999 Oldsmobile Eighty Eight
  By Susan - November 30 - 5:26 pm

  I love this car. The only problem Ive had - and it was big - was when a gasket leak took out the engine about a year ago. It appears to be a known problem - but they gave me little relief. One drawback is that the back seat does not have headrests. The drivers seat leather is splitting. But I love the look of this car and its comfort. Its hard to find a vehicle as nice for its price. Im at 108,000 miles now and hoping for many more.

  Most Reliable Vehicle I Have Ever Owned in 32 Years - 1999 Oldsmobile Eighty Eight
  By alienrealtor - July 27 - 5:26 pm

  In my eyes its good looking, my kids are not thrilled about its appearance though. It has been a good and very reliable friend. It does not require much maintenance or repair. I have 112,000 miles on it and its still very solid. Obviously it is not a good idea to sell it, you wont be paid much for it and the clear coat is still shiny, so why bother. Its paid for and the insurance is peanuts on it. This Anniversary Edition has every luxury option and they all work fine! If you find one, dont hesitate to buy it. Its a very nice vehicle. Oil changes every 3,000 miles are a must, Synthetic oil will give you about 30 MPG on the highway, every so often go for the high octane gas that has cleaners (BP Gold, Chevron 93 or Shell 93).

  Excelent College Car - 1999 Oldsmobile Eighty Eight
  By pizzaman09 - December 31 - 6:09 pm

  My 1999 Oldsmobile 88 was my grandparents car and was given to my twin brother and I as our first car with only 42k miles on it! We have been driving it for about 5 years now and it has 69k miles on it. They 88 has been outstandingly reliable, we have under $1200 of maintenance into it in 5 years. We had the common intake leak and the power antenna is stuck up but else it is perfect. I use to hate how it looked but it has grown on me. It is factory Crimson Red and I have white strip tires on it, it looks sharp and stands out among todays cars. The ride and handling is like a marshmallow, but that is often a good thing. It is plenty quick too! I also enjoy the huge trunk!

  I love this car! - 1999 Oldsmobile Eighty Eight
  By susan - July 1 - 5:53 am

  I also hate that GM did not cover my expensive gasket problem when it happened in 2005 with just under 90,000 miles on it. Now have 141,000 miles and it has a few minor things wrong with it that I wont bother to fix - but I do love driving it. Also had problems with splitting leather problems the last 5 years. Somehow that hasnt held me back and I wish I could find another like it!

  Not just Grandmas car - 1999 Oldsmobile Eighty Eight
  By Wiccabeauty - October 9 - 7:00 pm

  I am buying this car from my mom which whom she bought from Murray Equipment TSC for 1100.00. It is a champaigne color and has 154,150. Big car but it something like the Impala and Old Luminas on the interior. I like this car a lot but would love to have my old Lumina back.

  Wish they would make them again! - 1999 Oldsmobile Eighty Eight
  By ynotps - May 21 - 10:00 am

  I bought this Olds Eighty-Eight LS certified pre-owned 2 years ago, with 40,000. It has been a great car and I think GM should consider building them again. I just sold the car with 62,000, and had no problems at all during my 2 year ownership. I highly recommend one, especially if you find one that has been pampered.

  A Good Family Sedan - 1999 Oldsmobile Eighty Eight
  By lovdmc12 - February 21 - 9:43 pm

  I bought this car as a daily driver when my Aurora started having major problems. It is a solid family sedan with good accelartion and gas mileage. The fit and finish are excellent, and the car has proven to be very reliable with over 101000 miles at the time of purchase. I lament the death of Oldsmobile as these fine cars were some of the best to come out of GM in recent years.
