1998 Cadillac Seville STS review from North America
"Muscle car dressed in a $3000 suit"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
This 1998 Seville STS is my 7th cadillac. By far it's the best of all, but I have learned that it comes with let's say BAGGAGE. I previously owned a 1994 Eldorado. Needed something bigger so the Seville was the choice. The brakes warp.
The speakers make a weird kind of cound at times. These are problems that are common for this vehicle I have read.
The case seal inside the engine that usually goes bad and causes massive oil leaks was repaired by the previous owner "thank god", that's a $3500 bill usually. I am happy with the vehicle though.
General comments?
This is an outstanding machine. The brakes, and possible oil leak can be dealt with. The vehicles performance and luxury out weigh the small negatives.
