1988 Cadillac Eldorado review from North America
"My first Caddy and it's a winner!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Air conditioning evaporator lost power, had to be replaced.
Stock radio cassette (player went bad, bought a new Jensen unit with a CD changer).
General comments?
This car is a fine example of a "high maintenance" vehicle. I expect more things will go wrong, since we're at the 100,000 miles mark, but with a good dealer, we plan to keep this Eldo.
The body is in absolutely mint condition, thanks to the previous owner's meticulous maintenance.
Incredibly comfortable, with plush leather and an infinite number of seat comfort selections.
