1996 Cadillac DeVille Sedan review from North America

"The 1996 Cadillac DeVille is a great car!!"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

First, at around 115,000 I put another radiator. Cost about $100.00 rebuilt.

Second, the water pump at around 122,000, cost around $140 for the part plus about $40 for the labor.

Just got my brakes checked and I just noticed that from the rear suspension; there is fluid leaking out slow. Meaning soon I will have to put new air shocks (dealership $1000 a piece), but the replacement air suspension for all 4 tires is about $500-$600.

Around 128,000 the traction control light came on. I was told that it was just a sensor (around $50-$75 plus labor), but I had it tested and the machine said my sensors are fine. So I don't know how much actually. I had 20 inch wheels on the car, maybe this is why my suspension is messing up. I will do it again though, I just need 2 tires.

Recently, I checked out the air condition pressure at around 139,000 miles and it had half the freon in it. So I filled it totally up for around $20 from a friend. Blows cold like snow.

General comments?

This car is an exceptionally well car. As soon as I sell it, I will get another Cadillac De Ville; although, I will get a newer year. Not because of the problems, I just like the newer front ends of the car.
