Hello -

To better assist you please let me know if your Eighty Eight model is a LSS or a Royale? Also you engine size in liter I show I a 3.8L but is the 8th digit of the VIN a 1 or K?

Hello -

Also, it looks like you may have some recalls on your vehicle. The dealer may fix these for free. Please contact the dealer service department, give them the VIN number of your car and have them check on these to see if they apply to you.
