1997 Cadillac Catera review from North America

"Hope you're rich"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Timing went after about 2 months of ownership.

Tune Up, Sounds simple enough right? Wrong the wires alone cost $380 and the plugs are $20 each.

General comments?

I am very disappointed in this car. The resale value has been reduced by the fact of the timing issue. This is a quality issue that GM has admitted to be their fault and has fixed these repairs free of charge. But still it effects the resale. Very few GM mechanics are able to work on this car. You need to find a dealer and pay the price.

This car should not exist, given a few more years of breakdowns and none will remain on the road
