1989 Cadillac Eldorado review from North America
"The kind of car GM should still be making"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Water pump replaced twice
Alternator replaced twice
Driver's power window not working
Numerous oil and transmission
gaskets replaced
Battery replaced three times
Radio/CD player quit working four
years ago
Cloth interior has almost completely
detached.
General comments?
I love my Cadillac El Dorado and would love even more to keep it running another 100,000 miles. Unfortunately, for the past two years, the quest to find competent people to service and repair the car has become a financial nightmare.
Rarely a week goes by that I don't hear a compliment about the lines and styling of the car -- after almost 15 years --it's still one of the most beautiful American cars on the road.
Had I access to the parts and knowledge it takes to keep this car running, I'd gladly do it.
This car was clearly designed for a person who loves to drive; sure wish it had also been built to last as long as my love for it will go on.
