1981 Oldsmobile Ninety Eight Regency DIESEL
1981 Oldsmobile Ninety-Eight Regency Description:
Up for sale is a 1981 Oldsmobile 98 Regency with a 5.7 Diesel and 3 speed auto trans. Having only 87,800 original miles, this genuine survivor is very well preserved for its age.This Olds runs and drives excellent. It always starts right up. I would not hesitate to take this car on a long trip.This is a very well maintained car. It does not leak any oil or smoke. The engine oil was just changed this spring and the car is ready to drive away.All of the many lights and power options in the car work perfectly. The only features of this car that are not in perfect working order are AC (blows warm) and the fuel gauge is not 100% accurate. I never tried to recharge the AC, so that could be all it needs.
All of the original owners manuals and shop manuals are included with the car (see pics). There are also spare filters, glow plugs belts, as well as a spare Delco am/fm radio with cassette.
Cosmetically, the car is in really excellent original condition having only minor defects which can be seen in detail in the photos: The plastic bumper fillers need attention (cracked/paint wrinkled). The headliner sags a little bit due to the age of the adhesive, but the material is in good shape. The vinyl top is in great shape and shines like new. There is a tiny nick (about the size of a pen tip) on the top, which is so insignificant, it is difficult to see to even zoomed in on the photo. I feel that these are small repairable cosmetic details that only can be seen upon close inspection. I mention these because I want buyers to know exactly what they are getting here; a car that is in excellent original condition, but not a museum piece. I take my positive seller feedback rating on Ebay very seriously and want to ensure that the new owner of this Olds is completely satisfied with their purchase!
I have done my absolute best to describe the car as accurately as possible, but if you have any questions, please feel free to contact me and I will be happy to answer. Buyers can call or text me at 518-335-1325 or send me a message on ebay.
