"Love this car, its old, but beautiful"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Failed emissions at inspection.

Service soon light is coming on.

Paint is peeling, (what do you want for 19 years old)

If anyone has any advice for this engine service light, please hit me up. all fluids are full and I'm guessing this might be a common problem with these cars.

Overall so far its ridden nice, though I wish it passed inspection.

General comments?

Love this car, got it for next to nothing. it rides so nice, its comfortable and has power everything.

I flunked emissions so I just today had the cat converter replaced.

Service soon light comes on after being on highway.

It is better the "service soon" light comes on and not the "service now". I have found that the "service soon" light in these Cadillacs are fairly accurate in trying to indicate there is a problem, no matter how minor. I usually find that the light will go off if the right thing is adjusted. It's a pain in the neck, but don't disregard the light.

Mine does that too, I'm guessing its the oxygen sensor (02 sensor). It also contributes to bad emissions if it has failed. They need replacing around 90-100k.
