Hello,
There is this friend of my father's who has an old 1988 Oldsmobile
Regency for sale. He is not asking for much so the real question is if
the car is woth putting some repairs in having.
I would appreciate to hear some info from anyone who still owns one.
Are they reliable cars or is just trouble?
I kind of like the fact that being an old car I can fix-up some things
myself but there is always a limit to that.
Also is there anythign I should check on it that brakes particularly
often on this model?
Yours,
Ivan

You didn't say how many miles the car has.
These are very good cars but the main thing I'd be concerned about is
how much life the transmission has left in it, since they are quite
expensive to replace.
The engines are generally regarded to be good for a quarter million
miles or more with decent care.
Find out if it's ever had the transmission rebuilt/replaced and how
many miles.
