1992 Cadillac DeVille Sedan Deville review from North America
"Great Power and a smooth ride"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Cracked Windshield.
Minor scratches on roof and hood.
Engine has slight miss.
General comments?
I found this car on Ebay and decided to go to Kentucky where it was located. When I first saw the car I was amazed on how clean the outside and inside of the car was. We test drove the car and it seemed to run very well with great power and everything worked, so I decided to buy it. Well on the way back home I noticed when I would try to accelerate from a standstill it would hesitate for a few seconds and then take off. As we continued to drive the car began to do this same problem more and more and even when I would press down to pass someone. Currently the car is sitting in front of the house and starts up and everything, but I do not chance driving it since it seems to want to die out whenever you accelerate. I have been told that it can need a tune up to the fuel injector's and I noticed that white smoke comes from the exhaust when it idles, but the car never overheats and was driven back 251 miles without running hot, just the hesitation issues. The car is very clean and looks good, now I am just hoping that the repairs needed to fix these problems are minor and I did not get taken for it's good looks. If anyone has experienced any problems similar to these please offer me some feedback as it would be greatly appreciated. Other than that I cannot comment on how reliable the car is or will be since I have not been able to drive it or know what problems it has.
