1989 Cadillac DeVille Sedan review from North America
"Wish I could get another with low miles and start over again!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I've replace the alternator twice ($60 each time) and the water pump three times ($30 each time + skinned knuckles (3 different bolt sizes in impossible places to reach!). The front disk brake rotors kept warping until I bought the $70 factory brake pads. Also one of the CV boots finally dried out - replaced for $120.
General comments?
Love it - commute 120 miles/day on the interstate. Wish it had airbags in 1989.
