1983 Cadillac DeVille Sedan Deville review from North America

"A great luxury barge except for the weak engine"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

The camshaft and lifters wore out as is typical with this engine. This cost about $250.00 for parts and a few days time for me to repair.

The pickup coil bit the dust at an intersection. Fifty dollars for a tow and twenty dollars for the part.

The rear main seal leaks oil badly.

The engine is very small for the size of the car. It takes forever to reach resonable highway speed. Hills are a chore.

This car sucks gasoline due to its small engine. It has to overwork itself to produce meager power.

The paint is thin and is chipping in odd areas, but it still is very presentable.

The air injection tubes for the emission system rusted out and were difficult to find replacements for.

General comments?

The car is large and very roomy.

The leather seats still look new and are plush on long trips.

All of the gadgets still work as well as the power windows.

The body is rust free after 21 years on the road.

The vinyl top has held up well and is blemish free.

The car rides nicely, but is a pain to drive on hilly roads due to the small engine.
