1981 Cadillac Seville Elegante review from North America
"It was a good luck!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The transmission gasket leaked, had to replace it.
Had to change a tire too because of a flat.
The transmission wasn't shifting right (i.e. the engine would run freely for 2-3 seconds when shifting gears), the shift point has been adjusted and it run fines since.
General comments?
The V8-6-4 is now working again after the shift point of the transmission has been fixed. It offers decent performance for the size of the car. Handles pretty well.
You feel like you were in the living room, very comfy, lots of space either in front or in rear seats.
The car is almost in mint condition and won't see any winter, no idea how many it saw, but no rust on the body, almost none under the car.
