1990 Cadillac DeVille review from North America
"Luxury and very high performance set this apart from the others"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I just bought it today so...
I have noticed that, like the previous members comment, it idles rough like its not firing in one of the cylinders. But once you rev it up a bit it sounds fine. Listening under the hood you notice no rough idle, just normal humming.
The previous owner, in 126,000 miles replaced the brakes, 3 fuel injectors, the alternator, fan belt and the tires.
Sitting at a stop sign in gear, not moving with the brake on it seems to feel a little jerky, again like its not firing all of the cylinders. The previous owner did replace 3 of the eight injectors and the computer module has not been replaced or reset to let the computer know that the injectors are not all the same wear.
The drivers side, left arm rest is worn out and covered with duct tape and the drivers side, front windows button is missing and the window doesn't appear to work.
The stereo's rear, right speaker pops and crackles and the whole sound system sounds very weak and tinty.
The turn signals blink at odd intervals when initialized.
General comments?
I bought the car today, used with 126,000 miles on it. Going from a Honda Civic to this is awesome to say the least. This car is very fast. I mean scary fast! It feels totally controllable though at hard acceleration and cruising speed.
My friends thought it was a brand new car when I pulled up at work. The car definitly holds it beauty.
