1982 Cadillac DeVille Coupe review from North America
"A solid reliable ride"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Plastic bumper/fender fillers deteriorated.
Catalytic converter bad.
Headliner sagging.
Erratic electronic climate control.
Engine oil leaks.
Transmission leaks.
Rear axle no oil and worn excessively.
General comments?
Considering the price ($1200.00) I paid, I find that the few repairs or fixes I have made have been worth the cost. So far the car is running quite well except for an erratic engine speed at idle. I believe there may be a problem with the EGR control valve.
