1992 Cadillac DeVille Sedan from North America - Comments

"A beautiful, powerful, luxurious hotrod; albeit expensive to maintain."

What things have gone wrong with the car?

The digital gas gage reads incorrectly, which is a known problem on this model. The car "thinks" it is empty at 4 gallons. A problem I can live with.

Had the heater core replaced, along with a full Caddy 100,000 mile tune-up. Had to go back because the A/C was blowing hot air AFTER the tune-up. Head mechanic, "Hoses bust all the time, ma'am, yadda yadda." (Not on my car right after an expensive tune-up, buddy.) He noticed my hubby chatting it up with HIS boss, the dealership owner, & realized they knew one another. They "found" the problem in under 10 minutes (air-door-mix hose not re-attached). I drove off shivering & grinning. :-)

The car has an oil leak, which the previous owner disclosed before purchase. The leak is slight, but I keep the oil checked anyway. (People that don't check their oil have no business owning a car.)

The struts (shocks/springs?) are starting to get soft, but I expect that on a car that is nearly 13 years old & traverses country roads.

Had the truck pull-down mechanism replaced by a private shop ($50). I wasn't taking my 'baby' back to that other mechanic so he could try to gouge me again.

By the way, you can fit 3 large golf bags in the cavernous trunk with room to spare.

General comments?

I LOVE my car! It is powerful, comfortable & easy on the eyes.

It's dark blue & silver with a full carriage top, which makes it a very quiet ride. Quite an eye-catcher.

The back seat & trunk are HUGE! It's like riding a plush sofa down the highway.

My kids (21, 17 & 14) have dibs on who is going to "inherit" this car when I get "tired" of it. :-)

I wanted leather, power & luxury at a reduced price & I got it. I have the original window sticker; this car sold for $33,000 in 1992. I am the 3rd owner & the interior is still in beautiful condition.

It's fun to tell admiring folks that the car is nearly 13 years old - mouths dropping open tickle me dearly! Hee!
