1998 Cadillac Catera review from North America
"An awesome and unique car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Me and my wife just bought our 98 Cadillac Catera in Febuary; it's fully loaded with the heated seats front and back, Bose stereo, chrome rims, and the electric window shade in the rear window.
We've had it for about 7 months now. The car had 72,000 on it when we bought it, and now sits on 86,000.
I've had two problems with it since we have had it.
First the power steering pump went out, so I just bought one off ebay for $75 and changed it myself.
Then just here recently I started getting oil in my anti-freeze, and anti-freeze in my oil. It was either the head gaskets or intake gasket. Bought the part, and me and a friend changed them our self.
We've had some problems with the car, but I don't regret buying it one bit. It drives and handles like a dream, and has great performance!
You're gonna have problems with any vehicle - some more than others, but to all of you who have had a long list of problems, what I don't understand is why don't you get the car fixed and part ways with it, if it's such a pain?
