Good day folks; glad to have found this classic forum. I have a 1989 Olds 88 that is almost like new.

Interesting. That's a relatively rare car on this site, and it's from the era of the infamous "Not Your Father's Oldsmobile" advertising campaign, which was a disaster and more or less began, or at least helped along, Oldsmobile's slide into oblivion.

It's from the era where full-size Oldsmobiles were rather undistinguishable from cars like the Pontiac 6000, which was no help to Oldsmobile.







I'm not meaning to take anything from your car, of course, and we'd like to see photos. It's just that your car is from an interesting chapter in Oldsmobile history.

I'm not surprised. It's what I could find on the net in a minute or two of searching.

What's the mileage on yours?

About 170,000. KM [105,000 miles]; mostly highway. Bought it from an old granny (original owner) and she always stored it indoors at her condo's underground parkade. Still has original paint. I changed the original struts last week.
