1998 Cadillac Catera review from North America
"Piece of CRAP!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The service on this car is as thick as a BOOK. The timing belt and tenisoner has been replaced 3 time. Climate control unit had to be replaced. Valve cover gaskets and the oil cooler at a cost of $2400 and the you can only get $2000 trade in value on the car. This car has been in the shop on a regular basis and since the warranty has run out I have had to put so much money into the car that I could have purchased something else.
General comments?
Keep away from any catera.
