Belt, belt tensioner, pulley for waterpump assembly went at 127,000, overheated the engine and shorted the battery.
Sway bar broke from overall wear and tear.
Recently tuned up with spark plugs, air filter, and fuel filter 1,000 miles ago.
Hose was leaking coolant after waterpump assembly went.
The power antenna does not work so I disconnected it and hope to soon replace it.
Tinted the windows...
Bought the car used from a dealership at auction price for 1000 dollars. However, I had to fix both side mirrors as well as the power steering pump.
New tires were put on prior to purchase as well as a new CD player.
Brake pads now need replacing.
Overall the Cadillac lives up to its name as a luxury car and somewhat a dependable ride. Like someone else posted, nothing big really goes wrong, just a lot of little things; luckily I can afford smaller problems.
Ever since I've had it I've just grown attached to it. I'm in the process of putting a sound system in, and thinking about modifying the engine with a twin turbo kit, exhaust, and air filtration system.
Tell me, why people buy 11 year old Cadillacs with high miles again? Status symbol? Uh, no. Great gas mileage? No, not that either. Reliability? Hardly. Cheap? OK, there's that.
Does that answer your question?
1000 bucks and it runs? Score!
