1990 Cadillac Eldorado Touring Coupe review from North America
"Great fun, comfort and reliability, everything You expect from Cadillac"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
When I got the car the drivers seat, arm rest and pass seat was pretty worn. seat covers solved this problem.
The headliner was completely shot and hanging, quick trip to pep boys and $50 later that was solved.
When they say PERFORMANCE Cadillac they mean it, I blew the transmission, but won the race ($600 used)
My anti-lock brakes (computer) also blew, again my bad another $700.
And finally my alternator went, but I had a replacement on hand and that was nothing.
General comments?
This is by far one of the best cars I have ever owned right next to my fathers 1990 Cadillac Fleetwood (FWD) that he has owned since new.
This car handles great, Even on solid ice. I went places you wouldn't dare take your SUV and she still went strong.
Car is incredibly comfortable, even those worn seats seamed to hug your body.
This car is reliable and strong even when drivin like a race car and even off road (across the school yard and football field).
I have owned a lot of cars and I only sold it because I needed the money for my Project DeLorean (which I am putting a Cadillac Northstar engine into). even after I sold the Eldorado I lost no money, between the cost of the car and all the repairs I actually sold it for $500 more than what I put into her.
