1988 Cadillac Eldorado review from North America
"A gem for anyone who loves cars!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Driver's Information Center had a digital short - $132.00.
Front left axle - $500.00.
General comments?
I saw this car on the side of the road last year. When I was growing up, my grandmother had a 1988 DeVille, but blew the head gaskets and never drove it again. I still have the car, but because of rotting from just sitting, there is no hope. I kept looking around for another 1988, but never had much luck. I was on my way to work and saw my Eldo on the side of the road with a For Sale sign on it. I pulled over, looked at it and knew it was mine. I bought the car from a man who was 87 and only drove the car 2 months out of the year because he lived in Florida and the car was in CT. It was in great shape and I got it for $1,200. It is red with a white leather interior, gold emblems, and even the original car phone! The dash was dead when I bought it so I repaired it for a small cost and never have had any major problems with it.
This car is so great that I am going to purchase another Cadillac to replace my daily car, which just died. This car is phenomenal!!!
