1992 Cadillac Seville STS from North America - Comments

Since I have owned the car the problems I had are:

Replace the water pump and both radiator hoses (normal for any car) cost was 400.

Stereo speaker started shorting out and radio quit-- problem was capacitors in the circuit boards degraded due to age and had to be replaced on the boards, cost was 200 for the radio, 100 per

speaker.

Front passenger strut needs replacing, again this is just maintenance and not a faulty car. cost through dealer is quoted at 860 for the strut, install, and re alignment per strut.

Rear windows frequently decide not to work,

I never thought I would ever drive a Cadillac. I have had 2 Lexus, 2 nfinity, a Jaguar, 2 Mercedes, a Sterling and almost every Japanese car ever made.

I never wanted a Cadillac because I wasn't 75 years old. I bought my first Seville because I need a cheap sedan (My last Mercedes was a bad car) so I bought a 1988 Seville. It drove so good I could not believe it. I had it for a year and the head gasket need replacing. I was told I would have to pay 1500 for the gasket, but I found the Seville I have now for only 4000 with only 85 K miles on it in perfect condition.

The car has been a dream to own, never breaks down, everything always works, is always comfortable, and drives really good in the snow (front wheel drive). Mileage is about 17 in city, 26 on Highway.

My only complaint is even if I buy a new one, it looks just like my 12 year old one, so why buy a new one? its the same body and almost the same interior.

I am only 35, but I will gladly drive my gram-pa car till it dies, and when it does, I will drive another. I guess the reason you see so many old people in them is that they have driven everything else, and they have realized that this is the best car in the world to drive.

My advice on buying one is buy a really good low mileage car in perfect condition because it is always cheaper to do this than buy a cheap car needing several thousand in repairs.

I had a 1992 Seville STS with over 175,000 miles on it.

It was a great car. Never had engine or tranny work.

I bought it used with 49,600 miles and had it 8 years.

Wish I had not sold it.

I have owned four cadillac's. I'm only 23. the one I have now is a 92 seville sts. It was a special edition model with different trim pieces and a couple of suspension mods. I have a huge sound system in the car. I also run flow master exhaust to give it a voice, high flow cats, chips, solid engine mounts, solid lifters. In addition to this it also rns only the best parts in the car. 173,000 miles and still looks better than any new car on the road.

I completely agree. I have owned Jaguars, Fords and Mercedes; all relatively newer not to mention but my 92 Seville STS is by far the best ride of the bunch. I love those quick warming seats for those cold mornings and my self installed remote starter works like a charm.

I have a 1992 Cadillac Seville STS with 430 000km that I purchased off a friend of mine. Since I have owned it here are the problems I had...

-Upper and lower rad hoses (one went the day after the other..?)

-Water Pump

-Front stabilizer links and a ball joint/bushing to reduce clunking noise.

He put thousands into the car fixing it up after he purchased it for a low price. I only bought it because he takes care of things so well but other than the minor things I have had to fix this car has been amazing. I wouldn't recommend purchasing one with the Northstar Engine unless it is 2000 or newer. I have the 4.9L V8 but you would never know this as the previous owner put a Northstar badge on it. I am running 100% synthetic oil changes every 5000km and hope to take this car to at least half a million kilometers before I upgrade to the newer model. I will post the rest of the repairs made when I find the list.
