1998 Oldsmobile 88 LS Driving

Description

My very clean 1998 Olds 88 LS Toreador Red. I have had it since August 1999 and never seen another one just like it. It has a graphite velour interior with buckets and a console. Built May 1998, purchased used in August 1999 with 30000 miles on it for 14K OTD. Sticker price was $28K. I get about 25 MPG city and 28 MPG highway. Major repairs made: Intake manifold plenum 90K miles - $400 Radiator 115K miles - $300 Routine maintenance: 1 spark plug wires - $70 1 Serpentine belt - $80 1 Spark Plugs - $80 1 Battery - DIY 1 Front brake pads - DIY The car shares much technology and design characteristics with the 1998 Cadillac Seville STS. If someone out there understands the relationship between the two cars, I would like to be enlightened. Back then , there was the Buick-Olds-Cadillac Division of GM. In 2009 I noticed the first body rust, which is under the piece of rubber between the rear wheelwell and the rear door jam. To go 11 years in an area that uses salt for roads is great. I've seen two-year old cars with more rust. This is the second Oldsmobile that I've owned. I bought a used 1985 Olds Delta 88 Royale Brougham Coupe in 1993. I drove that for six years. Another sweet car. I took the wallpaper picture in 1999 with my 4 and 8 year old sons. It was right after I bought the 1998 88 LS, and before I sold my 1986 Delta 88. The other picture I took this past spring.
