1992 Cadillac DeVille review from North America
"Nice comfortable car, but expensive to repair"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Throttle position sensor went-only 20 bucks for a new one.
Fuel pump gave out-job cost was $300-pump is hard to change because it is located inside of tank.
Digital dash failed-$1000 from dealer to fix-found one at junkyard for $150.
Struts need replaced, but are expensive so I'm letting it go.
Alarm goes off all of the time when opening and closing doors and trunk due to faulty trunk lock and keyless entry system.
General comments?
This is a really comfortable car however for its size you would think it would be better on fuel. The V8 is really smooth and obviously reliable. These cars are over-rated by the manufacturer and are not worth the original $34,000 sticker price, but it's great to find one used because they are the about the same price as a used Cavalier and are much nicer! The front wheel drive doesn't impress me much and I will probably go to a Town Car or Brougham. Overall these cars are really nice, but you have to shop around when buying parts because they are really expensive.
