DO NOT BUY THIS CAR AS A USED VEHICLE. TO DO SO IS ASKING FOR A FINANCIAL NIGHTMARE.
Fast car and handles well for a car it's size below 60. In between 60 and 78 mph the vibration in the front end will rattle your teeth. Totally unacceptable. The front-end vibration is UNREPAIRABLE! See other reviews for information on this engineered flaw.
Great front seats.
High maintenance and high cost maintenance, it cost $324 to change the spark plugs. $300 to change the drive belt.
After three failed Northstar cars I will never, ever buy another Cadillac.
Do yourself a favor and buy a Lincoln.
I had two Broughams (87&91) and currently have a 93 Fleetwood. 3 excellent cars with quality and reliability comparable with the best from Japan. Sorry to read about your bad DeVille experience. I too had a bad experience with a well maintained used DeVille. I'll never buy another DeVille, but I will buy a used Fleetwood or Brougham over any Lincoln.
OK here's the deal. I've had 4 Devilles, all used, and all JUNK now. I've had 2 Town Cars, NOT ONE OUNCE OF A PROBLEM ever! OK a battery once, but I mean c'mon LOL, Caddy engines just plain suck like Dodge truck transmissions LOL, there's a good comparison :)
I love Chevy trucks, but GM messed up with the Northstar BLOW A HEAD GASKET EVERY 5K MILES AFTER 95K POS ENGINE!!! Anyone agree? :D.
