This is the second Deville that I have owned, and I would never own another one. I thought that when I bought GM's top of the line car, that I would be getting a car that was well built and reliable. It was a very comfortable car, but the quality was not nearly what I was expecting, and the repair costs were outrageous in my opinion.
I drive about 40,000 miles a year, and pay close attention to all the operating costs of the cars that I owned, and the Deville was by far the most expensive to operate that I have ever owned. I decided that the nice ride was not nice enough to justify the excessive cost. For example, the repair bill on the heater fan was close to $500. I remember when you could buy one of these for $20 and install it yourself in 15 minutes. Maybe I am just getting too old!
"I thought that when I bought GM's top of the line car, that I would be getting a car that was well built and reliable."
"Well-built" and "reliable" are not in GM's vocabulary.
