Beautiful Original 98 Regency Sedan.. Rust Free
Recently purchased this beauty! 75,000 Original miles. Rust Free Arizona car.. garaged. Paint is still shiny and nice.. not show quality.. but cruiser condition. Runs very good. Was a donated vehicle for charity foundation.. had to buy it before the other guy that was going to Donk it out. 99% of everything on the car is functional. Owners manual is there, along with key code for wheel locks. It is getting harder and harder to find original unmolested 98's like this.... Asking $2400.

I will be honest with you.. my first car was an '84 Delta 88... and when I got in this and drove it home.. man I missed my first car. I really want to keep it.. but it is just bad timing.. and I know I will regret it down the road.

Had time to really look it over... this car is really nice. Everything seems to work other than the drivers remote mirror and the A/C is not quite cold enough. Shifts great, runs great, all windows work, cruise works, etc... Original owners manual is there along with the code cards for the paint and wheel locks!

This model is the Regency. The Top model is the Regency Brougham. Both are very nice cars. Regency Brougham had upgraded interior fabrics, and the B pillar Opera light instead of the one on the sail panel. Here's a picture of my 83 Regency Brougham for comparison. As it sits in this picture, it had 300,000 on it and was still going strong. Interior color was blue.

Is your CC looking for a stablemate? That Regency looks like a nice companion......

Jaunty, Based on the front hood ornament and wheel center emblems, its an 84. That's really the only noticeable things that was different between 83 and 84. Is your CC looking for a stablemate? That Regency looks like a nice companion......

I believe too that the 84's had orange turn signal lenses, while the 83's had the orange/clear just like the Delta 88's. I remember reading that somewhere.
Good luck selling it 65az...wish I could buy another car, I'd love to get it! I'm only down in Tucson too My CC is about all I can handle at this point...lol.

You are probably right about the turn signal lenses, I never really looked that close at them.

i did the charity auction car flipping game back in the 90's.i quit when they changed the tax deduction structure from book value to sale price at auction.
from my experience,i would be wary of any car donated to a charity auction.
most of these cars have a serious problems you dont know about until you drive it 50 miles,then you're in for a serious surprise.
i notice this car doesnt even have tags.
was it towed home?
craigslist is full of these cars.

First of all, don't judge my buying experience based on yours.. and furthermore try to sabotage me trying to sell it. I have bought and sold numerous vehilces for me, friends, family and to make money. I know what to look for when purchasing a car. Yes... I drove it home, yes, it is in my name, I just took it to palm springs and back. Runs great, drives great, and shifts great. The last owners info was still in the glovebox when I purchased it, and yes, I contacted them before I bought it. So please in the future do not chime in on someone elses ad stating you know facts and running down my vehicle when clearly you have no clue what the hell you are talking about.

Well, even if it is going to Europe, at least it didn't get donked. That would have been a sad fate for a car that nice. I sure would like to find a 77-84 coupe in comparable condition. Those years Ninety Eight coupes are some of the most elegant Oldsmobiles ever made.

Someone in Belgium has good taste, and I don't mean just for chocolates. Glad to hear this worked out for you. Just out of curiosity, (if its not a problem with disclosure) how much does it cost to ship a car to Belgium?

I couldn't find it on ebay, but it is listed in KIJIJI
Is this the one? It's just about an hour from where the Northern Lights Olds Club holds their annual car show in Olds Alberta!!

Wow that one is great too! That steering wheel looks different...does it have the telescoping option?
I agree the bigger engine would be a benefit. I think these weighed similar to the Custom Cruisers...and mine was a slug for sure...lol.
Here's the link to the one on Ebay...it's in Michigan. It's white with blue interior.

Allan you would look good behind the wheel of that car. Swapping in a 455 wouldn't be no big deal the G-body guys do it all the time. You would have to have the 200R4 beefed up for the 455 monster. It is a real clean and sharp car.

Now that you have mentioned it, there was a '82 or 3 Regency on e-bay a couple of years ago with 3500 km on it, red- lady owner/driver $10,000, I don't think it sold... from Calgary or Edmonton...I really liked driving my '84 Regency, and it was a lot better than the Aurora in the snow!!

Yeah, but you have to be careful about that too. If you sell a specified number of cars within a specified time limit from your house I think you would become classified as a car dealer. Then they could come after you for taxes and stuff. Glad you could help this Olds stay alive instead of going to the boneyard.
