1987 Cadillac Brougham review from North America
"A well built car and a good performer"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I had to replace a exhaust doughnut gasket, oxygen sensor, PCV valve, battery, the exhaust and just the regular stuff distributor cap and coil and all of the wires.
General comments?
The insurance is very cheap at under $700 a year for me to drive it.
The price was definitely right with all of the maintenance and the price of the car it only cost me about $3500.
The interior is in perfect condition it is just like it was back in 1987.
The car was manufactured one month before I was born.
The car is well built machine.
There is no doubt that I would buy another actually I might in the near future.
The gas mileage is great for a 8 cylinder right I am getting about 21 to the gallon depending how much I press down that pedal and trust me that car can go.
There is not one complaint that I have about the car.
It even has mainly every option offered in that model year which is nice.
I just guess not many 16 year olds think of wanting a full size Cadillac sedan as their first car, but I am happy very with it.
