It's a solid 5000 lbs, possibly heavier. It feels a bit like driving a tank around, and it's pretty lazy in turns and sways a lot.

Why not just buy a low mileage 2005 PA? They are out there, and who cares how old the car is, just take good care of it, they are known to exceed 200,000 miles. My Town Car is 18 years old at 187,000 miles.
I myself always liked Cadillacs too, but steered clear of them in the past 20 years because of the Northstar engine, which can be very costly. I have worked on quite a few of them over the years, and simple components like the starter, alternator, and water pump are not that easy to service. Also if the oil pan gasket leaks, you may as well let it leak because the motor has to come out of the car to replace it, and one more thing; if you overheat the Northstar just once, it is pretty much done.
Years ago I did own a '93 Sedan DeVille with the 4.9 V8, and it was a damn good car with a much better designed engine.
